After a quick breakfast we headed out from Hawley. It's a 4.5 hour drive to Bedford, MA. We stopped at a rest stop in Connecticut for another famous 'picnic lunch in the van'. That's where the pictures were taken. Then it was on to Bedford, which is just outside of Boston to the Northeast.
The drive was pretty straightforward, yet we saw/experienced no less than three near accidents on the trip, the result of bizarre East coast drivers doing unexpected things at odd times with their vehicles. It will be good to leave this area, methinks. I remember that driving in Boston is sort of extreme at times, and this isn't a good prelude to it.
While Gena had an unpleasant evening trapped in a small hotel room with grumpy kids, I had the opportunity to have a bison burger and a couple of beers with high school friends of mine. They had lots of recommendations on what we could do in Boston Saturday earlier in the day. Not sure what we'll end up doing, but something fairly laid back. Gena certainly deserves a relaxing day! We're on for dinner at 4:30pm with her cousin. Should be great!
