Leaving Bronxville on the 21st of October, our journey south began with a drive north to the Tappan Zee bridge because of an accident on the GW over the Hudson river. \u00a0I hadn’t been over the Tappan Zee since the 70’s and it was a first for Dan. \u00a0It brought us to the pretty Garden State Parkway, which we followed to the switchover to 95 on a fine fall day. \u00a0Dan drove the worst of the NJ Turnpike until we got to Delaware and decided to go around Baltimore through the Eastern shore to the Bay Bridge near Annapolis.<\/p>\n

We stopped for a bit to admire the bridge from the Sandy Point State Park and arrived at Anne and Emil’s house in time to rest up a bit before dinner at a great pizzeria in Takoma Park. \u00a0By the time we said goodnight and headed into DC, Allyson Terry was home from work and welcomed us with lots of Small Point news. \u00a0The house she and Grey own on Cathedral Avenue is charming, and we felt very privileged to stay there for two nights.<\/p>\n

Andre and Theo are making fine progress with swimming at the local YMCA. \u00a0They are also quite proficient at giving instructions on how they wish their pumpkins to be carved. \u00a0After much discussion, said pumpkins are ready for Halloween.<\/p>\n

Sunday found all of us except Emil, who was participating in a “mud race”, eating Mexican food outdoors in Georgetown.

We left Anne to go on to the zoo with the not-so-smalls while we said goodbye to Allyson and headed west for an easy drive to Charlottesville where we are off to see Monticello in a few hours.<\/p>\n

Love to all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
