January 25,,,,,Newton to Newark.......fleeing Blizzard Juno

We started out in Concord with Jecca, Willy, Otis and Hank. Willy took the boys to their ski race in the morning and Jecca went to her classroom to work on her grades which she had to get done before taking off in the afternoon for Cannon Mountain with the ski team.

We all kept an eye on the predictions of superstorm, Juno, which is looming. Our plan was to go into Boston tomorrow and sleep at Ted and Bev's and take off on Tuesday morning for Washington, D.C.

I spoke at 2 o'clock at one of the Newton Historical Society's properties about Cyrus Peirce to a well-informed audience. Then, at 3:30, we took off to avoid the storm which is predicted to be historic.

We drove just over 200 miles to a Best Western at Newark Airport. The drive was not bad, although there is always traffic around NYC and we did get a wee bit confused the last half mile to the hotel. But, we settled in just in time for Downton Abbey.
