My First Trip Back to NJ

Sometimes, you just need to go back home for a couple days. I was so excited to go visit Al's family and a couple of friends, even though it was just for the weekend. Mini vacations are fun, and it was sorely needed by myself and everyone else involved.

              As you can see, Jezebel wasn't too fond of the idea. That's him sleeping in Al's suitcase.

The beautiful sky over a wild field crossing from North Carolina into Virginia. Everything in the country is so vivid! And it was really a beautiful day to drive up.

Oh, did I mention our epic gas station dinner? We stopped at a little soul food place inside a gas station and got Jamaican Beef Patties, hand made, and BLT Potato Chips. That's pretty much the most well-rounded meal I could think of.

I shot this over Al as he was driving over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. The water is so clear, it just sparkles when the light hits it right! This seventeen mile bridge can be a bit nervewracking, but it's so scenic that it's well worth it.

The sun was so pretty as it was setting over the landscape of Maryland, right beyond the Virginia border.

Eddie was clearly excited to see us....

I had to finally sell Larry, my very first, old faithful, Jeep. The first car I ever bought for myself! ::sniff sniff:: Five minutes after I took this picture he was gone!

If you can't tell, that's a bonfire, a string of Christmas lights, and two plastic chairs in front of the camper we were staying in. We also had a cooler of beer. You can't take the south out of the boy, can you? :)

I go to hang out with this girl for one night, and she whips out a snake on me! What is this madness?

The way back was just as nice as the way up, if not nicer because we were more relaxed. We took the scenic route again and took our time on it, stopping at a few small convenience stores and fireworks stops along the way. I'm already excited for my next trip! The nine hour drive is way worth it.
