The morning we planned to leave Hatboro and head again for New Jersey, the car decided to have a problem. We didn't drive it for two nights when we stayed with the Murrays. We started it up and the emergency brake was somehow stuck. Bob brought his tool kit, and tried everything he could, but nothing worked. We got online, and called a local mechanic. They were about 3 blocks down the road, and said they would meet us at the car in 5 minutes. They arrived right on time. Unfortunately, the car needed to be taken to the shop. They dismantled the emergency brake and we drove it to the shop. The guys told us it would probably take a couple hours. They suggested a good breakfast place in town, and we headed out with our fingers crossed that the car repair wouldn't be serious or costly. We ate at Daddy Pops. Great restaurant! The mechanics called us at about noon, and told us they fixed the emergency brake, and one of the front balls joints was worn out and needed to be replaced. Paying that bill put a damper on any extras for the rest of the trip!
We headed out at about noon for New Jersey. Julie was really tired, and started to feel a little sick. She slept the whole way to NJ.
I really hope there isn't a "Major Problem #2"!! It was great seeing you guys. Enjoy the rest of your trip!
