  Road trips are fun, educational,  0-0---   but they can also be stressful and expensive. Phillip-Morris World Headquarters I think this was Richmond, VA Selfie after a nap Rolling through the Harbor Tunnel in Baltimore, Maryland Downtown Meriden, CT Hubbard Park, Meriden The view of Castle Craig at Hubbard Park in Meriden. We didn't have all  the time in the world to  drive to the top (it's a 15 20 minute drive) Stopped to take some pictures at the Connecticut State Capitol building between the commencement ceremony and the dinner party.   I used to go through this tunnel just at least once a week. Now, until this trip, .. I haven't been through a tunnel in almost two years.  This is the Tapanzee Bridge. We went this way because the G.W. Bridge has two tolls withing miles of each other $13.80 each

       Okay so you can tell from the title of this post what I'm talking about. Anyone who has ever complained about traveling by airplane with kids, not having enough leg room, snacks, drinks, or TSA checkpoints hasn't had to travel by bus in the last decade....

Yes, others have survived for longer.. but I feel like this is a big deal for my generation. Anyway, 7 years is more than a quarter of my life.... it's about the same amount of time I spent in Tallahassee, FL before leaving. Here's what I had to say to my co-workers on the way out the door. It is with a heavy heart that I walk off of the News 8 team at the end of the day today. I have been a part of the News 8 team for the past 7 years. First I started out as t...
