55 road trip to all 50 states (7 Viewers)

[sofj45]

Stopped in at dinosaur state park in CT and a cool old cemetery somewhere along the route. Somewhere shy of Boston our friends got us a room for the night so we headed to the hotel and found a brew pub just across the road. Good thing the room was covered cause we ended up alittle heavy pocketed at the brewery. Tomorrows goal is Boston and Salem in the evening. got a place tomorrow in Salem built in the late 1800s. Then onward to the last 3 states up in the north east before we make our way west again.

Was going to walk the freedom trail, not sure what all the wife had looked up. Told her find something she wants to go do and we will be there.

Oh and Old Ironsides . I'll shut up now. Maybe

Worst roads so far in the trip goes to Boston. Ct drivers were bad you either had one going 10 over or 10 under Boston is just a free for all. Glad I put new semi aggressive tires on just for the potholes and manhole covers sticking up.

Old Ironsides is cool the museum is neat and well put together. Aims more for the kids but is a good setup.

If you have the time and want to continue with more maritime history, Mystic Seaport Museum is really neat too
