New Jersey into Virginia – June 2022

It was great visiting with cousins in the Summit, NJ area. I love my family and am blessed to have so many cousins that all get along. Their place also provided a really good space for me to get a lot of work done. Work has been pretty intense lately having gone from a department of 5 to a department of 3. Lucky for me, I enjoy what I do and get along well with my coworkers.

I left Summit, NJ in the early afternoon after getting a good amount of work done in the morning.


Getting to Roanoke, VA from Summit, NJ was an overnight drive that was full of adventure and exploration. It turned out to be a fantastic two days in which I just went with what the Universe was throwing me.
Visiting MaidPro Morristown

i woke up early and spent the morning getting work done at my cousins place. Then I headed to meet our MaidPro Morristown owner. It was nice to catch up with her. We chatted a bit about the work I do for her, results and planning. We left and had lunch locally.

Greystone Woods Disc Golf Course, Morris Plains, NJ

Decided to play a top ranked disc golf course not far from the MaidPro office. Nice course. Challenging through the woods with some water hazards, but enjoyable.

Around the Table Catering, Lehigh Valley, PA
It was late and I hadn’t had dinner yet. I recalled an old friend from my high school days that now owned a food truck in the Lehigh Valley. I saw online that the truck recently won the Best Food Truck in the Lehigh Valley award. I found out what time they closed, calculated the travel time and realized I could get there 5 minutes before closing. Which I did and the food was delicious. Unfortunately, my friend was not working that night. I did get to meet her husband and daughter.

For anyone in the Lehigh Valley… go eat here!
Ever Grain Brewing Company, Camp Hill, PA

My plan was to spend get as far as I could Thursday night and then find somewhere to work on the road on Friday. Dinner and the round of golf went quicker than I expected as I was a bit further along than I thought I would be. I was going to be going through the Harrisburg area around 9 PM. I recently reconnected with another old high school era friend recently and we agreed that if I ever went through Harrisburg, I would let him know. So I did. I texted him and said I’d be coming through in about an hour. He managed to get away and we met at Ever Grain Brewing Company in Camp Hill, PA. Was really great catching up with Barry. Hadn’t actually seen him in probably 30 years. We sat around and chatted for 2 hours!

Crossing the Susquehanna River in Harrisburg

I drove a few more hours, through Maryland and West Virginia, into Virginia. Then found a rest area, climbed into the back of the van and got a few hours of sleep.
