Had a short day today, thanks to Mahwah, NJ being temporarily off line and being sick of driving in the rain. Boo.. Yonkers Orangeburg, NY Clark, NJ

5 check-ins 4/1/24: Matamoras, PA Middletown, NY New Paltz, NY Hudson, NY Red Hook, NY

Glad I happened to look at my detail at this very moment… Can’t say I’ve ever had a “most in current quarter” award 😂

Woohoo!

3/30 Mount Pocono, PA (first to check in) A nail in our tire before leaving made it a really tight trip but just enough time to visit this Wawa restroom before going directly to the egg hunt. PhillyBaby is absolutely jazzed about getting a first. PhillyDog is never jazzed about being in the...

First warning… we’re trending early enough on our Easter travel to hopefully make it to Pocono, PA en route to an Easter egg hunt near Wilkes barre at noon. If lucky, I will suck a single electron at 10:45am then run!!

Nah. Probably won’t for…. At least 10 years. Have a school aged kid now and they don’t take kindly to voluntary absences

Our 2014 S85 charges painfully slow but since we barely do it, I can’t quantify “painfully”

Forgot to post last night but did get a shared first at Yardley, PA. Chose to frame the pics showing the new homes being built instead of the Wegmans. In the very expensive Philly suburbs, (and everywhere really), exclusionary zoning fought for by rich single home owners often prevents the...

First-ish alert. I’ll probably run to Yardley, PA. @benswing looks like you grabbed it sometime since this morning. Definitely wish I happened to run into you. Some day…

Shadybrook farm corn maze. I thought they did a Reba Macintyre shape for 2023 but maybe that’s an old picture. Or maybe they had more than one.

Absolutely dead over here. De-ceased, laughing. I have an aunt and uncle who live here and we’ve been teasing them for a decade of saying they live in Yardley when we tease it’s Morrisville 🤣🤣🤣

Not worth an 11 hour layover and a flight that got you wheels down at home 12:45am on a Thursday when you should have landed 6:40pm on a Tuesday. 5 year olds aren’t necessarily built to be awake at 12:45am.

Hertz didn’t allow one way. Others might though, which I am/was toying around with for a solo trip to Savannah in March.

Here’s my accidental 11-haul, January 17:

Another Tesla owner suggested this and I immediately thought no way. I knew we’d all be exhausted. Then I thought through it and it sounded LESS tiring than hanging out at an airport and boy was that correct. Our kid was practically melting into the floor when we were getting the rental. 5...

My kid is about to accidentally get some chargers in Florida. So am I. After a cancelled direct flight out of Mexico yesterday and a nightmare trying to figure out what to do.. we got to Orlando this morning and don’t fly home until 10:30pm. The car rental is primarily so the kiddo can...

My hubs definitely prefers it. Neither of us wanted to spend S money again especially when we’d be giving up our pano roof and open center console and huge frunk. And roof racks.

Correct. On paper. But we plan to ask anyway. Service appointment was bumped to today instead of tomorrow so… we will ask. A yes would mean a premature goodbye to our beloved S. A no plus a large repair bill would mean some decisions to make.

If you’re coming from 95, take the broad street exit and turn left on Pattison. (It’s a little left lane cut out so be prepared before the stoplight) Make a left at the dead end - 2 lights later. Here’s where it gets tricky. You’ll see wawa up ahead on on the left but the the turn for it is...

I want to create a thread but not sure where… Our December 2014 S85 has a service appointment Wednesday because a lot of things are starting to go wrong. Didn’t ever want to spend this much on a car again but my hubs loves the drive of the S and we already have a Y. No desire for X. We’re...

It’s definitely a bit odd but if you’re coming north across the bridge it should be easy. Coming from 76/center city is worse because you turn before it.

12/23: Tully, NY Kirkwood, NY Wilkes-Barre Township, PA

Cold little jaunt for me today, blazing right past the Wilkes-Barre, PA charger (one town over from where I’m visiting) which I’ll get on my way back there tomorrow. 12/22, all NY: Hancock, NY Oneonta, NY Utica, NY Verona, NY Syracuse - Destiny USA Dr, NY

Missed @Thinkje but did charge at Quakertown for about 4 seconds before a too-long trek to an ice cream and soft pretzel shop I’ve been meaning to try and mistakenly thought wasn’t too far from the charger. Whoops. Chargers have their own parking lot away from the wawa parking lot which is...

Probably should have read a few posts before I posted 😄

4 hours into a 16 day winter break with my child and I’m ready to strangle him already. So fair warning that we might go for the first in Quakertown, PA today just to get out of the house.

But only by 16 ;)

So many of my visits have been at Wawas but of course this trip we kept hoping for Wawas and not finding them. restroom Stops are far less convenient at malls, grocery stores, and targets. Especially early Sunday mornings. Hope you enjoyed your Philly visit :) My ‘hood is just a few over from...

Just a half day today, including the Newark Airport. @Shesmyne2" makes total sense why you had to maneuver a bit. Check ins for the day: Fairfield, CT Newark - Lingbergh Rd, NJ North Brunswick Twp, NJ Crabury - Forsgate Dr, NJ Hamilton Twp - Flock Rd, NJ Total on the trip is 29...

We’re hitting that tomorrow I think!

We had a big day. Came extra far for a hotel that has a water slide. But instead of enjoying it right now we’re in a stand off with a kid who refuses to eat because of a mouth sore. But we can’t let him starve so… Checked into a cool 16! The 3 without state abbreviations were unplanned...

DGP - congrats on the purchase!! Going from the S 85 to the LR 3 made me feel that way about trips. My Y kinda sucks for trips. Range is off. Annddd…. My navigation is also off the wall wrong. I survived today with only a few “wrong turns” but that’s only because I stopped listening to the GPS...

Random thought - if anyone is buzzing around the south Jersey beaches (particularly Egg Harbor) and needs a place to crash, ours house on a code and remains largely empty November through April. It’s cold and moist and old but it’s clean and close to the ocean :)

I logged 8 today, including number 500 for me! Hate to leave half an Eastbound/Westbound pair on the table but it required too much looping right before our hotel. Glad I skipped because when we got to our hotel the pool - which is the reason for booking - was closed. We had to find a new place...

Always! I'm always lurking, 😂 My kiddo is officially school aged though so our long fall road trips probably aren't a thing anymore. So will have to stick with weekend jaunts. Not super impactful but that's life. I won't be coming for 29th place any time soon. But I'm trying to work out whether...

“This is a map of superchargers” PhillyKid, age 5

Used today as an excuse to get apple cider donuts… a mile or two from a new charger I hadn’t gotten yet :) 10/9: Medford, NJ. (If anyone finds themselves here, Johnson’s Corner Farm has a bake shop that’s worth stopping for!)

Wanted to add that my kiddo has now been to 314 chargers. Him getting to 500 would take some work.

My child. My 5 year old child DECISIVELY opted to get Pottstown, PA even though I had it as a maybe. Wasn’t sure I’d want to add 45 minutes to our day that started with poor sleep, early wakeup, and 2 hours at an indoor playground. But he shocked me by so quickly saying we should get max...

Dang! A shame we didn’t cross paths. I haven’t much touched my phone but we’re home now.

Today we got 8: Boothwyn PA New Castle - Christiana Bypass, DE Newark - Old Baltimore Pike, DE Newark - Chestnut Hill Rd, DE North East - Pulaski Hwy, MD Joppatowne MD Rosedale MD Baltimore MD

Headed out tomorrow, just me and my mini (now 5 years old). We’ll hit what I don’t have have between Philly and Baltimore, then round the western Philly burbs Sunday on our way back. I don’t think there are any firsts around so I might not report here right away but will check in on .life in...

Congrats to all the milestones! As beach season comes to a close I’ll be looking at maps and planning how to hit 500 this fall. For now, 9/5/23 on my way back to the city: Egg Harbor Township - E Black Horse Pike, NJ It’s across from a Walmart. A Walmart i never realize existed just 2...

My summer hiatus has exemptions when I find a first in my back yard. Saw a tweet at 8:24pm. Was back on my couch by 9:08 8/30/23 Philadelphia - Aramingo Ave, PA (First to check in) This is a GREAT location that people will much prefer over the Royal Farms one down the street. This is at a...

Took a roundabout way en route to my in-laws’ house for Easter weekend. Just logged Easton, PA and Blakeslee, PA

Sunday, April 2. We got home at. 3:58 and I started a 65 minute warm up/lifting/stretch workout at 4:20 because I stupidly signed up for a 6 week program during my peak road trip season New Milford, CT Brewster, NY Fishkill, NY Central Valley, NY Pompton Lakes, NJ Paramus - NJ-17...

The kid asked me at one of out tap and gos (as in, “mommy - this one will be a tap and go, the next one I’ll want a snack…”) how many he had. I had to wait to the hotel to log and count. He’s at 287 😎 Newly 5 years old

My boys humored me again for another quick overnight “road trip to nowhere.” The dog is, after a year, getting better in the car. The car itself is in desperate need of cleaning though. Back to back weekends traveling, but last weekend was 0 new superchargers. Womp. Todays haul: Edison -...

I stopped for a quick green flash this evening. Super easy location. It wasn’t on nav yet but even in the dark and rain it was obvious that you could get in on side of the parking lot and leave the other way to make an easy left to get right back toward the highway. Very convenient.
