After spending two wonderful days in Newport, RI, my husband and I had a leisurely morning before undertaking our drive through six states in one day. Yes, that’s right, six states in one day.
We left Newport and drove down US 1 along the coast to see how the rest of Rhode Island lived. As we enter Connecticut we got onto I95 and soon saw a sign for Mystic Seaport…we had to go. We toured this lovely little town and went to Mystic Pizza where Julia Roberts began her rise to stardom. We left Mystic and drove through New Haven, Bridgeport and Stamford before entering White Plains, NY.
We drove through New York City, into Newark, NJ, passed the lovely airport and down to Edison, Princeton and Cherry Hill. Upon entering Philadelphia, PA we had to see some history. So we visited the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and of course the “Rocky” statue. Then we went to Gino’s for a Philly Cheese Steak. The traffic was terrible and the line was around the block…but it was worth it…my first Philly Cheese Steak experience!
Then we drove down to Wilmington, DE to see the sights, pick up a souvenir, and check off state number six. We drove back to Philadelphia, spent a wonderful evening, and the next morning we boarded a beautiful Delta jet and headed home to Atlanta.
