Woke to sunny skies....and super warm already at 7:00 a.m.....and then it changed...
and it changed quickly...within a few minutes the sky looked angry....
and thunder so loud it make the RV shake and the wind picked up...
but we missed the worst of it...




Apparently these quick and unexpected storms are quite normal here....when we checked the Weather Network....warm and sunny...no mention of anything happening...it's going to be so hot today...Gracie had to stay at the RV...and she's probably really happy to stay in the air-conditioning.





It's just so hot that you really can't go do any hikes..
.....it's so intense that just going out for a stroll is enough...






We had to make a stop at Wall Drug....we had seen signs advertising it back 2 days ago....and there were lots and lots of signs...every mile or so....there was a sign...

I was here back when I was about 12 years old...and again in 2013 and here we are again...it's cheezy....it's touristy...but you just gotta stop here!!




Creepy bunny!!



Did I mention it was hot....???

So when it's too hot to do anything else....it's time for a haircut and a bath for Gracie!!
I think she enjoyed the cool water...I know I did!!

Strutting her stuff....Looking and feeling like a million bucks!

Back to unsettled skies... the wind picked up but no thunder so far...

It's been windy for quite some time....like weeks...this morning it's pretty calm...but they are calling for more wind in the afternoon..... Decided to ride our bikes into St. George and check it out...really small casual little beach city... More white sandy beaches....this time with lots of shells...spent a good hour shell hunting... We saw lots of crab holes in the ground...apparently they are called "ghost crabs" and they only come out at night and they are almost transparent.. I was so excited when I spotted this shell.....but somebody was inside... and this baby crab on the outside!!! They have these really cute "tiny narrow rental homes".... these are the first skinny homes we have seen!! Saw dolphins in the distance for the first time today....super excited....George has to "make me move one" ....because I could stay all day and watch them... Biked out on the fishing bridge....this one goes out qui...

Today is the day....we must leave New York....it`s been great... it`s been expensive....and it`s time to go... Gracie may have wanted to visit this place...but no Dog Spa for her... Today is also the day we will part paths with Brother Joe...we will head West....because we must....he will have another direction...we will miss him....has been a great time travelling with him. It took us almost an hour to wind our way out of Jersey City...it was raining...and I swear Roxanne had us going in circles....there was detour after detour...and some ridiculously narrow streets.....but we made it......we had no idea where we were...the skies were grey and dismal and we just seemed to be going around and around..... And then this crazy horrible sign appeared...WTF....WEST!!! What is that!!!! It wasn`t long before we left the busy streets for rolling hill of trees...it is just so green and so hilly.... I love this one...it`s the first we have ever seen...... ...

It's a pretty fitting day to leave the beach...it's raining....it's still warm...but it's still raining.... Taking a ferry today instead of dealing with the traffic...won't take any time off our trip...but will take the miles off our trip...cost wise...not too sure...but if it can eliminate a few hours on the road in the city...it's worth it. This bird decided to build a nest in the busiest place ever!!! Right at the Ferry Terminal... And all along the way....Dophins.....Yay!! I will never tire of seeing them playing in the water! So before long we are on the New Jersey Turnpike.... which just means .....toll....after toll.....after toll.... and you have no idea which lane you are supposed to be in... Nightmare! Marty!!!.... You will love this....... You know all those American dimes and nickels I was saving.... Finally had a chance to use them.... Oh the look on his face when I gave him $6.00 in dimes and nickels!!! W...
