Left Hershey and headed for New England area. Made good time until New York City. Traffic got busy in New Jersey and had to pay attention to get on the right highways. Made it on the Washington Bridge with a toll fee of $12. This bridge comes into New York at the Bronx. Once we were coming off the bridge ran into a traffic jam a very slow traffic. We spent about an hour and a half going 5 miles. There was an accident and only one lane was getting through. That was down from four lanes. We were fortunate that we had just stopped at a rest area to use the restrooms.
Once we got away from New York and into Connecticut we stopped at Stamford for lunch. Found a PF Chang's and had a great lunch. Pulled into Groton, CT later than planed, but made it. It has been nice not having a lot of large cities and the traffic to deal with.
For the first night in Groton we found Ford's Lobsters on the bay. Had our first lobster, a lobster bisque and a large lobster roll. This is made with a fresh roll, lobster, and drawn butter. Very good with a beautiful view. Forgot all about the traffic jam.....
