Blogs from Lambertville, New Jersey, United States, North America

After a full on 4 days in the US we were excited to have a chilled out day today in New Hope! We had a decent sleep in and did a few blogs and I got out of the shower to find my amazing boyfriend by the name of Benjamin had cooked me turkey (again!) sausages and candy pancakes for breakie! An odd combo but yuuuummy! We enjoyed breakie and a coffee and decided to leave Susan to it today for as long as poss and she was battling with her sewing machine and getting a bit stressed as she had to make a Technicolour Coat for Jackie's concert tonight, and it was not co-operating with her! So she dropped us in New Hope and said she would come and pick us up in the arvo ... read more

Lambertville is a quaint town with lots of little shops at the most western edge of northern New Jersey. We're staying at the Inn at Lambertville Station, which is located right on the Delaware River. We can easily cross the river into New Hope, Pennsylvania, which is another cute town. Everything is easiliy accessible to us. We went to a wedding last night at Lambertville House and walked there with ease.

There's a beautiful, stone Catholic church, and an old Baptist church which my mom said is being turned into a music hall. Before too long, I spotted the rest ... read more

This morning we had a much needed sleep in after getting in really late the night before. After breakfast we went to pick up Susan's daughter and then went to Walmart to replace our toiletries we'd had to throw out the day before. In the afternoon we all went swimming at an old quarry which has been there since 1928 and has still got train tracks at the bottom of it, 60 feet below. It was a really beautiful day and the quarry was amazing with trees surrounding it, a few diving boards, and platforms in the middle to swim out to. We spent the whole afternoon and early evening floating in tyres and doing back tucks off the diving boards. By the time we left we were starving, so we headed home for dinner, stopping ... read more
