We got up this morningand did the cliff walk in Newport and had a look at the mansions along the water...wow!! Now I know the difference between old money and new money...I think I like the old money better...
We also asked if we could walk around the Shipyard and watch them work on the boats..yachts. The boats were so beautiful and we even saw a guy scuba diving with two sponges scrubbing the bottom of the boats. The boats in this yard were immaculate. I have never seen anything like it. The crew members were all dressed the same and working hard.
We made it out to the Cape early afternoon.
It is great to be back with the Evan's again...Bill and Jerry did their thing and Janice and I watched New Moon together. I have decided Janice can have Edward if I can have Jacob.

We decided to try the ferry this morning as it picks up right outside our door. It was a good choice as you got to see more than on the subway. We both really enjoyed the short ride and the views were pretty incredible. We visited the World Trade Centre site which was bustling with construction. There was a big fence around the site, but you could peek in at a few spots. You can really feel the emptiness. There was a constant buzz of work going on in this entire area.
We made our way down Wall Street which we have decided should be called Wall Alley as that is what it looks like. People were rushing around looking completely stressed out. I saw a ton of young men pacing outside the financial buildings chain smoking...looks like fun...Is this what success is supposed to look like?? Scary thought...
We got back to the trailer around 12:30 and decided we were going to head on our of the city while the traffic seemed ok. We made our way over the George Washington Bridge..enjoyed the views and headed through the Bronx with no wrong turns. Whew...We drove until early evening and made it to Newport Rhode Island.

Headed for Jersey City for the RV park. We arrived shortly after noon with no mishaps. The RV park was bascially a parking lot which was fine with us. You could see the back of the Statue of Liberty which was very cool. You could also see the huge buildings across the river. We made our way downtown and we saw the Empire State Building, Madison Square Gardens, Times Square, Radio City Music Hall, Carnegie Hall, Rockefeller Center, the Fashion District and we walked thru a large part of Central Park. Shortly after entering Central Park we ran into Cindy Lauper...Bill snapped a few shots of her and then took out the mondo lens at which point she put up her hand and one of her assistants asked that everyone stop taking photos for awhile.
We sure did manage to see a lot in one afternoon. It made me think of our Godson Nolan who asked us before we left for this adventure if we were going on the amazing race...some days it sure does feel like it.
We ate dinner at a little outdoor cafe in Jersey City.

We began our adventure to New York City. We blew thru North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and Delaware. Several campers had told us to check out Killen's Pond State Park in Delaware. We stopped there to spend the night and found out if was nascar weekend. The park ranger told us to justkeep driving at least another hour or so to get out of the traffic and that it ws going to be a loud party, beer drinking weekend. I probably have a few Uncle's and Cousins that would have loved it in Dover.
We are beginning to wonder...National jeep week in Moab, Land Rover convention in Hatteras and Nascar weekend in Delaware..Hmm....
We spent the night in New Jersey at a Flying J's truck stop...the lady working the front counter gave us a free movie for the night....Sherlock Holmes...We both really enjoyed it...
