Home again, home again...

Monday was our travel home day, but we spent much of it with John as our plane didn't leave until 5:30. We decided to check out a place described in the book "Weird New Jersey" that wasn't too far away. Out on Pleasant Valley road is a place known as Gravity Hill. We followed the directions in the book, but couldn't find the place where the car would supposedly roll uphill. Apparently the markers have been removed or paved over. We asked a young man working outside at "Gravity Hill Farm" and he tried to guide us, but every place we tried the car simply rolled back down the hill. Nevertheless, it was a mildly entertaining outing.

The flight back was one of the most pleasant I have experienced in a long time, as when I checked in from the house that morning I was able to change our seats to an exit row! It was really nice to be able to enjoy the flight without my knees jammed into the seat back in front of me.

The bulk of the country was hazy, but the sunset from 35,000 feet was pretty.
