We arrived at Turkey Swamp Campground and were reminded how beautiful a campground it is -- definitely doesn’t match the name! We enjoyed the colorful autumn leaves as we spent our first day decompressing from the busy weeks leading up to your journey west. It felt so great to not have any meetings, commitments, or MUST DO today list.
The next day Craig decided to brave the drive into Brooklyn - which turned out to not be that bad (except for almost $50 in tolls round trip).
We arrived just in time to see the twins head off to set up for their evening performance.
This gave us some quality time for a dinner out with the most wonderful daughter in laws a mom could hope for.
We arrived at the Shape Shifters Lounge in time to get some great first row seats for the live performance that Mimi and the Podd Brothers where videographers and sound engineers were setting up to capture media for their upcoming album. Despite the professional engineers doing their job, I did capture a few pictures and videos with my phone!
I couldn't help but record the whole duet by Adam and Matt on the piano and add it to my collection of my boys piano duets!
I’ll definitely update the blog when their album goes live -- or at least when they start to release some of tonights performance pieces. You can follow along at #mimijazz or at http://mimijazz.com/ or https://www.facebook.com/MimiandthePodds/
The next day included quality time with all 4 of the Brooklyn tribe before we grabbed the subway into Manhattan to treat ourselves to Beautiful - the Carole King musical on Broadway as a birthday present to each other! The show was fantastic!
After treating my boys to a home cooked breakfast in Adam’s apartment, Craig and I returned home to Turkey Swamp, where we were scheduled to spend some time with Maggie and Peter.
Unfortunately I came down with a wicked cold, and spent the next day in bed while Craig got to spend some time with his daugher and son in law before catching yet another theater piece - The Importance of Being Earnest at the Twin Rivers Theater. It was the perfect show for him to see his daughter’s talent at work - as costumer for the show.
Thankfully Maggie had the next day off, and came down to the campground for a visit - so I got to see her, too!
Then before we knew it the week had flown by, and it was time to hit the road for our journey west! 
We decided to suck up the $$$ worth of tolls and ventured out on I - 70.
After spending a night snuggled in between the trucks at a rest area, we’re back on the highway!
