State of Independence

It is August and that means the annual trek to Central Pennsylvania for Penn State football media day! For the Sisaks that means part-work, part-getaway. We made the trip up to State College on Thursday night, but made several miscalculations along the way. Among them: detouring to Queens Boulevard to avoid Grand Central Parkway construction, but not knowing how that would get us to the L.I.E. (it did, eventually) and exiting the New Jersey Turnpike in the wrong part of Newark (good for a connection to I-78, but not the desired I-80). I rode shotgun and snapped some photos, including an eerie scene when fog meets the lighting at a highway rest stop, Chase Utley at a Wawa, dad pumping gas and a moth on the windshield. Yum.
