BBQ

August 4, 2012

Hi y’all,

We’ve had a fun day in sunny, hot North Carolina. We first went to the town of Apex. Paula and Jennifer did a little window shopping while John and I sat in the coffee shop and had a coffee.


Then we went to the Ole Time Barbecue for lunch. First up was a batch of hush puppies. Then we had some pulled pork, fried okra, collard greens, and mac’n’cheese. Very tasty.


Then we did a drive around the Capitol building. Then we went to the Museum of Natural History.

End of day 1

August 2, 2012

First day is done. We drove 355 miles today. We just pulled into Newark DE at a Days Inn. $59 per night, not fancy but will do. The AC is working and it has beds.

They have free wifi, but the download speed sucks, so I’ll use LTE.

We stopped for lunch in Vernon CT at Reins’ Deli. This is a great NY style deli that has been there for many years. First discovered it on a business trip with my good friend Tom Speake. Great food.


Took the Merritt Parkway through CT. Good news no trucks, bad news can’t go much faster than 50 mph.

When we got to NY, we only made one mistake getting on the GW bridge, then on to NJ Tpke. Heavy traffic through Newark. Eventually eased up.

Tomorrow we travel from DE to NC to visit the Fishers in Cary and the Wedges in Mebane.

This morning we dropped of the key to Janice. Folks at Chelms Peds asked when are you leaving? Answer: Now.

Just in time for the fourth of July. I found the following tip for cooking hot dogs (or wieners) as some people might say. It’s real easy.
