Thursday and we're driving north. We detour around the DC area and take the Delaware Memorial Bridge to the NJ Turnpike. Jeff comes up with a great idea to visit our parent's cemeteries near Trenton. So we head to that familiar area to put stones on the graves and it is quite emotional.
Just before 5:00pm we arrive in Jersey City, NJ. Jeff has cleverly found us a campground just across from lower Manhattan. It is a gravel parking lot, but the views are fantastic. In addition to the NYC skyline, Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty are just off to our left. A commuter ferry to the financial district is right next to us and we are surrounded by marinas with some very nice boats. Even better, the PATH train to New York is only five blocks and an easy walk.
