i have babbled yesterday on the beauty of Virginia and our recent spring break get-away at a friend’s place. not this time. there is one thing that i did not really appreciate. it’s the traffic! i am not really sure if it is a normal scenario, but during our whole week stay…there is a slowdown on the roads most of the time. i haven’t been stuck on the road for that long here on our side. but as i’ve mentioned in my previous post, the bad side ends there.
at ang TULAY na ito, hindi man nasa Virginia ay ang dahilan kung bakit ang dapat na 9 na oras na byahe namin pabalik ng Massachusetts ay naging 12 hours plus plus! ang George Washington BRIDGE ay isang suspension bridge na nagdudugtong/nagkakabit [watevah! hehe] sa Fort Lee, New Jersey at Washington Heights in Manhattan, New York ay nasa ibabaw ng Hudson River. at itong tulay na ito na tinanghal na pang apat na pinakamalaking tulay sa buong Amerika ay tunay namang isa rin sa pinaka-congested na tulay na aking natahak.
The bridge is also equipped with a path on both sides for pedestrians.
kung pwede lang maglakad noong mga oras na iyon, ginawa na namin…mahigit 2 oras kaming parang pagong sa pag abante at syempre lahat ay inabot na ng pagkainip, pagkagutom, pagsakit ng katawan at init ng ulo! haaay!

na may temang…TULAY. at ito pa po ang isang BRIDGE na nais kong i-share mula Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania at iba pa sa mahigit kumulang 10 state na aming tinahak pauwi ng Boston.
this is just one part of our first day in Virginia. seeing the city/state on a clear day as compared to our first trip about 2 years ago was a total ‘awakening’ from an Easterner stand point of sorts. in a nut shell, it is absolutely cleaner, fresher and manicured with wide and lush greeneries as compared to New York and Massachusetts where we have lived during the past 5 years. even Connecticut and New Jersey in comparison, I would aptly say that I find Virginia, the northern part at least is a place where I would love to have my kids grow up in too.
From a foodie and shopaholic standpoint,¬† it is spotted with all sorts of restaurants and specialty shops all over.¬† and from a mother and designer’s perspective… clusters within clusters of perfectly sized and well planned residential houses are prominently appealing, that is to my standards at least.
Not to mention that our closest friends in the country¬† [and that goes for the kids too], reside in this part of the East Coast now, before which we used to be so close by and just a few subway stations away in NY. This explains why we try as much as we can to visit each other at least once a year. or at least meet halfway just like how we did last summer when we met up at Six Flags, CT. before that, it was their turn to go up this far. this year we cruised 9-12 hours [blame it on the GW bridge traffic, on our way back home] and spent the whole spring break with the Evangelistas! thanks again for the warm and relaxing week that has put this website into a halt up until this day. hangover is hard to cure…’bringing back that blog-ving feeling’ is like a ‘last-song-syndrome’ that’s attacking me up to this very minute! next year…the Cape?

…taken on our way to Connecticut last Saturday for my niece’s baby shower. it was a good day for a road trip that we decided to make it just a day trip. in total, M drove for almost 7 hours! can you just imagine how tired he can be? but it was all worth the trip. we get to see our relatives and the kids had fun playing with cousins alike. a change of atmosphere was also good for all of us.
