Wedding Trip - Day 1

Heading to Massachusetts for a family wedding!  We left early but, being a weekday, it wasn't nearly early enough...  We used I-64 and I-295 to reach I-95, stopping for lunch at Burger King in Mechanicsville (...).  Unfortunately, we hit a monster traffic jam south of DC. When we were finally on our way past the mess (DC to Baltimore), we had already used up about five hours. This delay made the already difficult drive much worse... Our trip up I-83 to I-81 was OK and we were finally on I-84 just as the sun went down. The drive through Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts was painful but we made it to Salem by 0200.  We checked into the Peabody Homewood Suites (Newbury Street) and finally got to sleep. Glad that drive is over - we're going to have to go home another way...
