Road Trip Dairy : 1

My first blog of this year 2012. Looking back at last year, it was a great one in many ways; we visited so many places, attented my brother's wedding, enjoyed movies, shopping and of-course time together. It was an awesome year and we also had a perfect new year's eve.

A 10-day road trip, all the way to Miami - which was fabulous. The trip was totally unplanned and we left on 24th december @ 6 in the evening, just five hours after my husband came up with the idea.

Had dinner on the way, and by 10 in the night, we were bypassing Baltimore, Maryland. And around 10:30, we bypassed Washington D.C., Goddard Space Centre and Nasa Office. And drove through six states - New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, D.C. to Virginia. It was definitely a smooth drive all the way to Richmond, where we arrived around 12 in the night.

The following day, we planned to see the city. We left the hotel at 10:15 in the morning, for Monument Avenue Historic District, known for the statue of Robert E. Lee and many others and its beautiful architecture. From there, we went around the city and also saw the place where my husband stayed for sometime few years back. Around 1:30, we had amazing mediterranean lunch and left for Jamestown.
