Part 3 of on the road, New Jersey

Papa's Tomato Pies.  Ron has never had a tomato pie, so this was our first stop.  We voted it the best.  It is like a pizza, only the crust is way thinner and crispier. Cheese goes on first then the sauce.  It is sooooo good.

Our next night we tried DeLorenzo's.  Now back in the old days this was one of the best places to go. The orginal restaurant is now closed, and they got modern. Tomato Pies and specialty salads are the only thing on the menu. No refills on soda, and you can bring your own wine or beer to drink.  Could not get over that one.  Not as great as I remember it.

The dome of the capital building in Trenton, New Jersey.  Boy have things changed there.  Unfortunately, not for the better. Still, it was good to be able to show Ron where we used to live and for him to meet a couple of my relatives.  My Aunt Nancy and Uncle Steve are still there.  We got to have lunch together, and work on our family tree.  Aunt Nancy had a lot of  information that I can add to our tree.  We also got to visit with my Aunt Mary Agnes, who is my Dad's sister.  It was good to see her, too.  She is in a nursing home and has Parkinsons disease.

On Wednesday as we were leaving Treton I got to stop in Pennington at the "Pennington Quilt Works".  What a fun store.  They have been around for 15 years.
After a couple of other stops, we did finally start for home.  We got through most of Pennsylvania before we stopped for the night.

On Thursday morning we were up bright and early on the road.  It actually was a beautiful sunny morning.  As we drove along the I-80 we would run to areas of fog.  There were pockets of it now and then.  Sometimes it was only on one side of the road, other times right in front of us. It was a great ride home.

I had to share this picture of you.  Here we are just before the wedding on Sunday.  Ron and Andy think this should be our Christmas card this year!

Ok, one more posting of our trip.  The next one is the wonderful things I found on our trip.
Have another wonderful day.
