we wanted to go to philidelphia so i could go to the art museum and the kids could go to the zoo, but i made a wrong turn and ended up stuck in downtown manhattan, stuck in traffic and kind of lost. we ended up at a toll booth and some kind of overly freindly new york city toll-booth operator gave us directions back to the washington bridge. once we were finally back on track i somehow missed a highway connection and we found ourselves lost in a fancy new jersy suburb, for like an hour. finally we figured out how to get back to the new jersey turnpike, which goes to phillidelphia pretty much and found bumper to bumper standstill traffic for about a hundred torturous miles.
we finally made it to "philly" around 4 o'clock, pissed off, and too late to do anything other than eat this for lunch.
