City Mouse, Country Mouse

We took the kids this weekend up to NYC for nice break from the ho-hum country life to explore the ins and outs of the big city. Meeting up with a few of the in-laws and packing the kids in the car at 4am for a road trip up I-81 and away we went.

As we crossed over to I-78 and passed through the beautiful Lehigh Valley, Allentown, Easton and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania we enjoyed the travels across an area that in many ways reminded us of the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia.

As we cross into New Jersey and closer to Manhattan, we began to see more and more signs that the concrete jungle of the Big Apple was within our reach.

The kids were very excited to see the tall buildings and a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty as we passed through Hoboken, Weehawken and Hudson County, NJ overlooking a quick hop, skip and a jump to New York City; our adventure had begun.
