The Holiday Road Hits DC

We arrived at Cherry Hill RV Park in College Park, MD around dinner time today, after a harrowing 9 hour drive from Boston.  My final mistake in New England was listening to some locals tell me the best way to get to DC is straight down I-95, rather than my planned route down 84 and 81 through PA, avoiding NYC, NJ and Baltimore.  Wrong!  The Cross-Bronx Expressway is not a very nice road for a 35' motorhome pulling a car.  It is not a nice road for a vehicle of any size.  And the George Washington Bridge was a barrel of laughs too.  But, we made it safely here without a scratch on the fiberglass, so the Lord was looking over us once again, and we are very thankful. 

Our home for the next 7 nights is not as nice a park as Normandy Farms in Boston, but will suit our needs nicely.  It does have similar amenities, just not as nice.  The office staff is very helpful, they have two pools, a nice cafe, and the DC Metro comes right on site to take you to the subway station.  So, this will work fine. 

Here is our location.  Click on the pushpin for a link to the park website:

We're not sure what tomorrow will bring yet, besides sleeping in, but I'll probably have some pics to post tomorrow night of whatever we decide upon.  Until then...
