"Look! The United States!!"


There's a certain spot on the Jersey Turnpike going toward NYC when the road rises and you can see the NYC skyline like a distant City of Oz. When Sam was 5 and saw it for the first time, he said, "Look! The United States!"

This photo does not capture that moment, but it's the NYC skyline as we saw it on July 5, coming in from Glen Ridge to take Annie to orientation for her summer class and pick up Laura, who was flying in from the UK.

On July 4, there was a parade in Montclair:





MORE TO COME

Quirky parade in Montclair--why knew? Will have to scan photo taken from similar point when on a bus back to Balto as we were moving to NYC, close to the United State (though if our legislature does not get it together we could be Italy?)

What colorful costumes on the musicians. Looks like fun day.
