We stopped along the way a couple of times, once for coffee--nothing special to report there in Ben's XXdry skim cappuccino. The drive was quite easy, though traffic was very heavy by the time we reached our destination in the middle of suburban rush hour. Much of our trip crossed the countryside and the roads were not so full of truck traffic as I-95.
Along the way we passed a sign for Ephrata Cloister, so we decided to take a look. It''s an 18th century settlement of religious types who dressed as monks, were celibate if they were Solitaries living in the settlement itself. Sort of like Shakers, or a special type of monkhood or sisterhood. Anyway, the buildings looked interesting and we had a short walk around this part of Pennsylvania history. 
We enjoyed our evening with family immensely, much catching up to do. Dinner of Chinese, very nice, and went with our relaxed state after the day of driving and dealing with the car. Cousins Jack, Amy and Abby were lots of fun to see. Off today to the Hudson Valley through the Delaware Water Gap
