Sunday we stopped for coffee at WaWa and drove to Lorton, VA and had a bite to eat across from the station before driving in at about noon, handing off the car to be loaded and sitting in the station waiting to get on the train. We boarded at two thirty and the train departed at four.

Early Friday morning Mike and Annika hiked with a group at Valley Forge park and afterwards we met them for breakfast at G-Lodge. We went back to the motel and checked out since the main street will be blocked off for the weekend starting that afternoon.

Said our goodbyes and thank-yous to Steve & Laura for another great visit and went to Haverhill, Mass and had dinner at ‘The Peddler’s Daughter’, an Irish bar in downtown Haverhill. The Guiness was good, Alesa had a salad and I had fish and chips.

Steve drove us to Canada today and we had to get started early because they are an hour ahead of us and we are visiting Ministers Island where you can only visit during low tide because you have to drive on a 'roadway' that is only exposed during low tide.
