We're off to Delaware

It's time for a little break from chores and weather.  It looks like about 5 1/2 years since our last adventure in Delaware.
Here Is 2010.

Time to revisit. 
We rented a car and left in the morning. First stop Wegmans.   We picked up lunch fixings and headed south.  We picnicked at a rest stop . . .  sandwiches, salads, macaroons, soda.  Delish!  Then back on the road. 

We arrived at our hotel, La Quinta, in Newark, Delaware, around 3pm. We picked this place because they allow dogs, and Tommy is enjoying this vacation, too.

The room is pleasant, but the furnishings are past-due for replacement, with worn upholstery.  But it does have a microwave and refrigerator, dishes and silverware.   Looks like breakfast will be acceptable, and there is brewed coffee in the lobby all day.

 The last time we were here, we had dinner at Tandoori Grill. We still remember the fantastic naan.  We decided to go back.  We found the menu on line and ordered take-out.  Four different kinds of naan and two entrĂ©es.  Well, turns out that it's a totally different restaurant. . .  And we had the whole ride back to the hotel wondering if we should have researched more.
Turned out to be excellent, and we have plenty of leftovers for another time. 

After dinner I checked out the fitness room and enjoyed 25 minutes on the exercise bike. I'm feeling very 
virtuous. 

Tommy and D are napping.
