They were nice enough to put up with us for a night. The next day we said goodbye to MaryThen she went to Washington to be with Isaac and we went to see Dianna, Jordan and Micaiah. The weather was real bad. Heavy rain and bumper to bumper traffic going trough New York.
But we made it. The weather cleared up after that and staid nice for the rest of our trip.
It was wonderful to finaly hold our first grandchild. We spend a great week with them. Even went for a swim in the ocean yet
Then it was time to head farther South and West. And was it ever busy on the roads. The closer we got the more lanes there were on the highway. Sometimes as many as six lanes each way.
Here is a picture of the twin bridges were we crossed into Delaware. It was great to see Mary and Isaac again too.
Mary preparing supper for us. We were also able to visit the D.C. Zoo with her.
What a great time we had there. The elaphants were the favourite of some of us as well as amazonia. It was also the first time for the kids to be on the subway. What an exciting day. But like all good things, that too came to an end.
Then it was of to Matt and Amanda in Fredericton.
This was our last stopover. After a bit more shopping this morning we left for home. We are all glad to be home again. As much fun as it was to be away. There is no place like home. This was the last picture I took. 
It was taken from the top of the Confederation Bridge. It links PEI to the mainland.
So after a trip of a little over 4300 Km, that took us to our whole family, we are home again. Thanks be to God for all His Blessings.

Nice blog Dad! Did Caleb's pictures turn out? I am really interested to see how those pictures would have turned out. You should send me one when you get them on your computer, assuming that you can actually see things. We just came from church, it was a good morning. Steph and Jefta are coming here soon for some cinnamon rolls and then later Matt and I are planning on going to the Mactaquac dam and take some pictures for the new picture frame that I got and hopefully I will find a pretty leaf. Other than that things are great. Thanks for writing on your blog. How are things going there? Are the potatoes looking good? Digging soon? Well I will see you soon. Much Love and kisses
Love Manda
Welcome home again!
Glad you had a good road trip but it sure is good to plop down on your own couch again after being gone.
Enjoy your evening before the busies catch up with you!
Love ya, Tetcy
Hi Nieuwhofjes,
It's great to hear that you had a good trip. You travelled far and a lot. It must have been so amazing to hold your first grandchild.
It was really nice to have you visit with us. I hope you know that you would have been more than welcome to stay with us on your return trip as well. Although I do understand that there are other people you want to visit with. We'll just have to come see you guys some day soon.
love,
the Donoghues
