We had a nice visit with Joan’s youngest brother Billy, his wife Ellen, their daughter Katie, and their son Aiden. Enjoy this visit with us by clicking here.<\/a><\/p>\n

We left New York with the intention of visiting the National Aquarium in Baltimore, but we never got there. On the way, the left rear axle of Winnie, our faithful trailer, had a wheel bearing fail, the trailer equivalent of breaking a person’s left knee. Stu pulled into a Walmart parking lot, feeling that something was wrong, and the wheel fell off the trailer in the parking lot. We decided that we needed to get to a campground while we got parts and repairs for the trailer. We limped to the neared campground, which fortunately was in Jersey City, on the Hudson River, a short ferry ride to Manhattan.<\/p>\n

We were there for 4 days, trying to get Winnie repaired, but the parts sent by the manufacturer, arriving on day 3, were wrong. Still, we did get to enjoy New York City,<\/p>\n
