Day 3

Saturday

Today we visit the Stenton House Museum in northern Philadelphia. This was the home of James Logan, Secretary to Pennsylvania founder William Penn. We want to visit here because James Logan is in my wife's family tree. We took Rt-896 north to Rt-340 east. We picked up Rt-10 north to I-76 east. Rt-10 was great motorcycling with more stunning scenery and lots of smooth hills and twisties. The riding fun for this day ended once we got into the slow and heavy traffic on I-76 east. We spent a couple of hours visiting this colonial home by walking and by guided tour. We wanted to stay longer but we had to start our return trip so we could reach Virginia before hurricane Frances arrived. The rest of the day was a bad ride. We took I-76 south through central Philly picking up I-95 south to Wilmington DE. We then picked up Rt-301/50 and took it south over the Lane Memorial Bridge into Annapolis MD continuing past DC. Only after DC did the ride get good again. We stayed in Waldorf MD for the night. Despite a bad day riding, we had a great visit at Stenton House, a good dinner in Waldorf at the Red Hot & Blue BBQ restaurant and yet more red wine back at our hotel.
