Lebanon, New Hampshire to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
It was just too wet and raining heavily in New Hampshire, so we decided to head west and then south towards Washington DC. It really rained hard for a number of hours and then slowly cleared up. It was nice to see the sun for the first time in over a week. We saw flooded areas as we came through New York State. Even with the rain we saw some beautiful spots on our way to Philadelphia! Here's some of them, ENJOY!!
