We have definitely had a few very hot days outside. You didn’t need to check the weather to know that however I my iphone reminded me when it started to overheat!
… The hot weather, although at times unbearable, mean we are in the thick of SUMMER and that means road trips with dog in tow

Although New York City made it through Hurricane Irene upstate New York didn’t fare so well. Check out some photos from the flooding…

Farmlands...
The Hudson River - brown from all the debris from the flooding...
I’ve heard that the midwest has ALOT of insects and that they are even more prevalent in the summer months. Judging from the status of the car we are obviously helping to control the bug population…

Our longest drive day to date took us through 4 states and over 800 miles (and my lovely chauffeur has graciously driven them all )!
There have been lots of exciting sights along the way…
Lots of farms houses….
A random sculpture garden….
Some seriously cool (and huge!) wind turbines…
But mostly lots of…
We also stopped for dinner in Omaha, Nebraska…
….Um yeaaa… They’re a little behind the times out here….
And Capone for the most part is enjoying the sights..

After months of conversations, planning and anticipation we (Joe, Capone and I) are heading out on our EPIC cross country adventure!
After a late start, per our norm, we were blazing (in reality stuck in traffic) over the Brooklyn Bridge along the FDR and up to the George Washington Bridge into New Jersey…
…and out to our first stop Buffalo, New York to visit some friends and partake in some good ‘ole upstate NY hospitality! We just wish I was more than a pit stop!
