Nancy had a ball, where else but in the lovely New Jersey countryside can you find old buildings restored and still in use? The quaint village had buildings from the 1700's and most were in very good shape. 
The old grist mill was in a danger of falling in the pond, but all the rest were really neat. They even had a small railroad running around the property.
Sunday we wanted to leave N.J. Early. We hoped to make it through N.Y.C. Before really bad traffic started. I'm not sure we made it before the traffic, but we did manage to get though fairly fast. We could not use any of the tunnels as we carry propane, and explosives are taboo!!!
Tom drove all the way to Old Mystic, Connecticut. Nancy does not like to drive in traffic.....so Tom was the "Mr. Nice Guy" and drove all the way. When we checked into the campground we were given a local map of the area.Anyone remember the movie "Mystic Pizza" with Vincent DiOnofrio and Julia Roberts?
We find the city and wow once again the streets are really narrow. Some streets are two way but southbound traffic must yield to any
northbound cars. We find the harbor and it is neat and all the other words that Nancy has been using along the way. We get out of the car
and take a couple of photos. When we think we should head back

so we needed to go over the George Washington Bridge. Hey, they have so many lanes over this bridge you can choose if you want the upper or lower deck. We thought we would use the lower part.....wrong move it was closed and everyone had to use the upper deck. Nancy sat in back with Charley trying to get photos of the N.Y. Skyline, but it was cloudy and overcast, so she got a photo of a cloudy day in which you can't see anything.
The New York skyline ;)=

Well, we actually ate there. 
Pretty good pizza!!!
Then Nancy and Tom started to walk the city. Tom got a charlie horse in his calf, returned to the car and Nancy kept on walking the downtown area. Upon returning to the car it was still early so let's explore and find Stonington Village, CT.

we go real slow so we can take a photo of the old museum, which just happens to be on the two way part of the one lane road.
What a great day.
What a great day.
