The DogmomDiva heads East, part Deux

Shelly and I headed east driving to New Jersey early the morning of the 14th..I don’t know how many miles it was, but it took about 7 hours..with a couple stops at Starbucks and TOLL BOOTHS.  The toll for the Pennsylvania Turnpike for the distance we went was $23.00.  We about passed out!  Yikes!  Watson was a good boy but he kept asking:
It was a beautiful drive and interstate, however, with lots of hills and valleys.  And very, very green!
 

We got to Anne’s home in time to pick her twins up from their summer school class..
 
The kids were so happy to see Watson and to meet us, of course..We are their new “Aunties”.  Anne and her hubs have done a great job with them, so polite and loving, too!
We headed up the road a bit to a place we have been waiting to go to called the German Butcher in Lacey Township, NJ.  Our friend Judi who used to live there has told us over and over about G.B. so of course that was our first stop!
   
We bought some delicious chicken salad and rolls to take back to Anne’s for dinner..and it was goooood!

We then headed north to shi shi Colts Neck NJ..where the rich and famous live..I tell you we got out of the car at Delicious Orchards and you could smell the money, lol!  Another divine stop
 
We then headed back to Anne’s home in the pouring rain, it seemed like the traffic in NJ was always on the other side of the road, guess we were lucky..there was a ton of traffic most of the time.

We turned in fairly early that night as we were heading for a girl’s trip to Atlantic City the next day…it was so great to meet both these gals in person..they were just as great or better than I imagined!
