4,600 miles with no tolls, then Maryland has to ruin everything

When we woke up in the morning, I noticed something was a bit odd-looking on the undercarriage of my automobile. It looked a little something like this:
















Turns out my tailpipe disconnected from my muffler sometime during the night. I kind of heard a funny rattling, but hoped it was something in the cooler. Anyway, no big deal. I just heaved the tailpipe in the back and pointed 'er due north.

We stopped in DC, and I have evidence:

We weren't so impressed with DC, so we got back in the van and headed to my friend Laura's house in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ. We also hit our first tolls. Thousands of miles of open, free road, and for some reason you have to pay a toll every 15 feet in Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, and New York. Boo.

Beach Bike Gang!
















Here's the boardwalk in Point Pleasant Beach. Cool little boardwalk, buy you have to pay $7.50 to get on the beach during the day. Crazy.
















After our tour of the town, we sat around, talked about old times, and drank some beers. Good times...thanks Laura!
