It was a long day yesterday. We hit the road at 8:30ish AM and finally at 11:15ish PM we stopped for the night. The day started out with the plan to tour Brown University and stay in Providence, Rhode Island and ended with us deciding to leave Providence to stop in Albany, New York. The problem with our plan was that something big must have been happening in Albany because there were no rooms available there. So we had the idea of driving to Rochester, New York for the night. Who knew it was going to be another six hours of driving? So here we are in Rochester, New York and our friends that live here are out of town, so we are spending the day poking around here and we have booked the hotel one more night so that we can relax and rest. We are all sick of being in the car. Tomorrow morning we will leave here early and head home. Ahhhhh home, that sounds wonderful, my own bed, my cats, my dog and even my deck, my very hot steamy deck.
The tour of Brown was exciting and interesting. We learned a lot, Aly bought a t-shirt, we had dinner and then we hit the road. At dinner we talked about Brown and the feeling was that it would not be a good fit for Aly. Aly wants the out of state experience, but feels Brown is too closed in and cramped. The whole state of Rhode Island seemed that way actually.
We have decided to head out from our hotel this morning and visit the Strong Museum of Play that is nearby. They have a lot of fun things to do including a butterfly exhibit, which I love, so I have to get ready. I will share more photos and updates tomorrow when we are on the road home. Its time to go have some fun!
