The last two days have been mostly about moving south to get to Philadelphia to see Andy’s mom and his sister and her family.  We hit some really great roads along the way, including New York One, a curvy, smooth pavement road with great scenery, good visibility and no traffic. We took some great video, but it won’t load here at the hotel with this wi-fi; we’ll try to update this post later.

On this trip, we’ve seen some beautiful scenery – including noticing that the leaves are definitely changing – and we’ve made some wrong turns.  On these last two points, we title this blog post “turnt.”

While we’re a few weeks ahead of the official “leaf peepers” crowd that will descend upon New England for the fall color change, we noticed even in the week we were here that the leaves were turning before our very eyes. There are many trees that are already obviously red and orange, and many trees are turning more and more yellow every day, with lots of leaves falling, which was especially noticeable during our ride today.

Regarding wrong turns, we noticed pretty early on that we were making quite a few more u-turns due to missing a turn or making a wrong turn. Not our usual situation, but as we discussed the reasons, we realized we were “winging it” more that we usually do. Justifying our mistakes – ha!

Finally, moving to the real definition of “turnt,” (dictionary.com defines as being under the influence of alcohol or drugs) — we must discuss the hemp fields we passed today. We were driving along, minding our own business, when all of a sudden we both said, “I smell pot.”  Another u-turn to go back to see what was going on, and we came across a hemp farm We decided the local teenagers probably drive back and forth along this 1-mile stretch of road to try to get something of a high. The plants look like little Christmas trees; see pics below.
