East Coast Wrap-ups: Cross-country Drive (1/3)

This is the East Coast part of the cross-country drive home. I flew out from SJC to BDL through DEN Friday, June 3, 2011. We packed Michael's belonging and left Avon Saturday morning 11:30am.





This is our 2006 Honda CR-V, which will take us back to California. The starting odometer reading was at 41,326 miles.





Lodging:
Holiday Inn Princeton $86.22 everything included (tax recovery charges and fees is $16.22).
Best Western $79.99 everything included in Allentown, Pennsylvania

Where we went and miles driven:
CT, NY, NJ, PA
Saturday June 4 11:30 am @41701 - Sunday June 5 8:00 pm @41326 = 375 miles

Whom or what we saw:
1) Kennedy Medical Center, Michael's birth place.
2) Edison, New Jersey home which we lived in for 5 years.
3) Holmdel's Bell Labs location where I worked for 5 years. This once housed 6000 people, but now has been for sale for quite some time and is closed to visitors. The front access lawns are home for wild geese now. This tower is supposed to represent a transistor, which was invented at Bell Labs.
4) Michael's nanny, SL.
5) My old boss at Bell Labs Holmdel, YW.
6) my Bell Labs colleague, BF.

Here we have two pictures of Michael about 21 years apart in front of the same Edison house.
