Places visited
I got to attend an evening and morning Silent Journey and Discovery workshop at the Montessori Academy in Delran, New Jersey. It was an enjoyable and enlightening experience. Of course, I got see me grandson and his family while I was there which is always a treat!
On the way to New Jersey I stopped for a sandwich at "catchy" in Ho-ho-kus, New Jersey. The sandwich was great and there were a variety of interesting foods. Outside seating was available for warmer weather.
I also visited Rachel, Jon and Derek near Albany, New York. Besides being able to talk with them, I got to see the animals and have a delicious picnic on a beautiful day. I took some food to go with the pizza we got from Inferno Pizzeria in Guilderland, New York.
I was a able to spend a weekend with my grandson! I found the school and picked him up at the end of the day, fastened him in his car seat, spent the night, and then took him to gymnastic class and shopping, all done by myself and for the first time! We had a grand time and I'm looking forward to doing it again.
