Christmas Trip - Day 9

Up by 0715 - packed rest of stuff in truck. It is much warmer today - made for an easier trip to Altoona. Got motorcycle on truck - took family pictures. Left home at 0845 and used US-6 to leave Cape. Crossed Sagamore Bridge - used MA-25 and I-195 to get to Providence. On I-95 by 1000 - in Old Lyme at 1100. Hit HUGE traffic jam at NY-CT border - stuck for one and a half hours. Crossed George Washington Bridge at 1335 and then on I-80. Del Water Gap at 1455 and into Pennsylvania. Much less traffic - started to speed and nearly got nabbed near Hazelton... In Bloomsburg at 1615 and got off I-80 at exit 23. Used US-220 to get to Altoona (1800). Found Kim's house and church in Holidaysburg - had already missed rehearsals. In time for the rehearsal dinner at Olympios, though! Over 50 people there - had a great time with Jamie and the other groomsment (Matt & Bill) and ushers (Viju and Stan). At Kim's house later - her dad took us to places where we were going to sleep. Staying with Donna and Pat - Kim's friends. Had nice chat until midnight.
