Cape Cod Trip - Day 5

Woke at 0900 and went to breakfast in Lowell. Had nice meal with Katie and John and then checked out the University of Lowell bookstore - bought souvenirs. Drove out of town by noon, using Lowell Connector to I-495 down to the Mass Pike (I-90). Drove west until I got off at I-84. Switched to I-91 in Hartford and drove to Hamden - changed to Wilbur Cross Parkway. Had so much traffic - and a little rain - almost had two cars take out the GLC near Norwalk. They hit each other (and not me, luckily) and I continued without further incident. Continued into New York and used Merrit Parkway and Hutchinson Parkway - still more traffic. Finally took Cross County Parkway and NY-9A to George Washington Bridge. Used I-95 and Jersey Turnpike and then changed to I-195/US-206. Crossed Delaware River on US-1 at Trenton again - drove through town. Listening to Senate vote on Clarence Thomas - pretty interesting when it was live on the radio... Got back on I-95 and drove through Philadelphia (1805). Took Delaware and Maryland toll roads (still I-95) to Baltimore, using the Francis Scott Key tunnel. Went through DC on the edge of town (used I-295 and I-95). No traffic at all from DC down the Richmond. I-295 and I-64 back to Norfolk. Home by 2300.
