Princeton, New Jersey

It was a short trip to Princeton , NJ. We spent new year along with one of my relatives. We spent most of the time indoor, snow was all around so it was not a good time to go out and explore.

We were a little tired driving from Pittsburgh, but the journey gave an insight to the terrain of the north eastern US. We spent time on several spots on the journey towards and back from New Jersey. We got into trouble while driving thru a toll road at New Jersey. We were not carrying enough bills and we were having only credit cards with us. But the toll authorities noted down my license number and asked to pay online.

Holland, Grand Rapids, MI to Princeton, New Jersey

The entire journey was 14+ hours by car. Ours was a break journey and we took break at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We took the trip thru the I-92 till Ann Arbor, near Detroit.

We took the i-82 towards Toledo. Then most of our journey was near thru the Lake Superior. We crossed the Ohio state and entered Pennsylvania where we stayed overnight. Next day we took the journey from Pennsylvania to Princeton , New Jersey. The entire route is looked like a straight route till Princeton. Most of the terrain was a vast unoccupied land. Most of the area we saw was not even having trees or other plants. It was simply plain, with some towns here and there between the routes.
