Ummm Delaware, hotel nice, indoor pool, even though 95 degrees when we got here. Didn't really go out was very tired and really couldn't allow Theresa to mix with the locals! About to drive to Washington. 100 degrees today and loads of warnings on the tv about the heat. Covered about 500 miles so far "are we there yet" is banned in the car! On the way to washington, we went through Philadelphia and Maia was asking "where is the cheese?" As we drove along we s...

On our second day we thought it would be a good idea to get up early and go the Empire State building, as I got closer I decided Starbucks was a better option. I did however go inside have the family photo and then take the escalator down for...

In Mystic now went to Mystic Village it was really good we went to the Clams restaurant, I had pink lemonade it was delicious. Were going to a restaurant for dinner in a minute. We have been in the pool for more than 2 hours. I'll update the blog once we have been to the restaurant. The restaurant was brilliant I had shrimp, mum had potato skins stuffed with crab, lobster and fish. Dad had fried oysters, Maia had chicken tenders.
