We rescued the tent this morning and it was very wet!! A guy in the campsite next to ours said that just about everyone abandoned their tents and slept in cars last night. Glad to know we weren't alone.
The drive to Maryland was pretty uneventful, minus stopping at South of the Border of course. I was worried that we might miss it, but soon discovered that was an unnecessary worry. The billboards along the highway were so entertaining! Here's an example of one with a picture of a sausage on it, "You never sausage a place! (You're always a weiner at Pedro's!)." I definitely rank the place right up there with Wall Drug.
The Mini has made it through all kinds of weather and terrain, and then it stalled in the middle of Washington, DC less than 5 miles away from it's home! Luckily it restarted and we didn't have any further issues. We just couldn't believe that it would make it this far and then give us problems.
For dinner tonight we had a nice meal with Ilona's parents once we arrived in Maryland. Ilona's mother made wonderful gnocchi, cut up tomatoes and basil, and we also had some fresh summer fruit for dessert. It was very enjoyable.
Tomorrow evening I'm flying back to Connecticut. I'm sure the day will be spent organizing and getting ready to fly. Hopefully there will be a stop to John's Hopkins thrown in there before the airport.
