My friend Kelly is moving back to CA from Boston and I thought what a better time than during spring break to accompany her on a cross country road trip!!
We left on Thursday the 14th of April, I put my books down, grabbed some Dunkin Donuts for the road and we headed to NYC to meet up with Kelly's good friend who works at the oldest hony tonk bar called Rodeo at 27th and 3rd in midtown. From the city we headed to my family beach house in Spring Lake, New Jersey. It was great, we took a break from driving, biked along the boardwalk and enjoyed the beach. Then we headed south through Delaware to DC to Virginia and the Carolinas where it was getting real warm. We stayed a night in Charleston after driving about 14 hours from NJ. Spending the morning in Charleston was great- it is such a classic old town, I would definitely go back. On the way to Jacksonville- our stopping point headed to New Orleans, we had an amazing seafood dinner at Skull Boathouse in Hilton Head South Carolina. I was told HH is one of the most beautiful places in the US- it is really nice. We also stopped on the side of the road headed to Savannah for some Carolina Peach Cider (the state doesnt sell alcohol after 7pm on Sat. all the way until Monday- so we just got peach cider!). From Jacksonville we passed through Tallahassee to Chatahoochee, Florida and made sandwiches on the river and took a little dip to cool off.
We are now in New Orleans with Kelly's cousin who lives right by Tulane and we are excited to explore all day Monday the 18th- then off to Texas!!
