Edison Light Tower/Light Dispelling Darkness/Mary Ellis Grave/Medical Midgets

So today i got up at the crack of dawn to go meet my Grandpa at his house so we can head up to Edison. I got there at exactly 8:30 am and we got in the car and headed on up to Edison. 

The first place we were headed to was the Edison Light Tower in Menlo Park. We got there around 10:15ish and when we pulled up i immediately got disappointed because they were doing renovations on the Light Tower so it was all covered in stuff so you couldn't see it. We took some pictures anyway and headed out for the next location.

The next location was the Light Dispelling darkness Statue in Roosevelt Park also in Edison. We pulled up, got out, and took a bunch of pictures. It was a good day to take pictures too because it wasn’t sunny so i didn’t have to worry about the sun being all up in my pictures. After we were done we got in the car and headed to my old house. I was born in Edison and lived there for about 4 years until we moved out so we went to go see the old house on Runyon ave. It still looked the same as it did when we moved and everything was still there. I was amazed. After we were done with that we headed off to the Mary Ellis Grave.

The Mary Ellis grave is this grave in the middle of a movie theater parking lot in New Brunswick. It is seven feet off the ground with cinder blocks all around it. When we got there i decided to climb up the cinder blocks and take pictures up close. Just as i was jumping down, my grandpa was helping me all of a sudden we heard YOU CAN’T DO THAT THIS IS PRIVATE PROPERTY! We turned to see this old fat guy walking towards us. he told me I can decapitate myself by jumping off the grave site  I wanted to be like dude, it’s seven feet off the ground its no big deal i’m young. We said sorry and he didn’t seem too happy about it so we just got in the car and left. i didn’t care what he thought I got my pictures and that’s all I need. 

Next we headed to the Robert Wood Johnson Medical Midgets. Robert Wood Johnson Hospital is in central New Brunswick. It was also the hospital where I was born! The medical midgets are these little people on a beam outside the hospital that are little doctors and nurses and patients, it’s cute. We drove around the block a couple times to find parking, we finally found a spot but i would have to parallel park and i was not liking that but i tired it and let me tell you i could not have parallel park more perfect than I did today, i was pretty proud of myself! We walked up the street, took some pictures and headed out to get something to eat.

We stopped at a Burger King/Popeyes in East Brunswick and got some food which made me sick later. After we ate we got back on the road and headed home. 

On to the next one!

Pio Padre Shrine pt 2/Roadside Robots/Hubcap Tree

So today i decided to go back to the Pio Padre shrine in Landisville. I have been there before but i needed a picture of me at the shrine for the album. So i went there with my boyfriend and it took about a half hour to get there. We had to wait until these people got done with praying because i didn’t want to be rude and start taking pictures when people are trying to concentrate on praying. So when they were done we got out took some pictures and headed off to the next place.

the next place was the route 54 roadside robots. I wasn’t too sure where they were on 54 so before we left i looked for an address and on Roadside America it gave me an address too bad it was the wrong one. But we eventually found it. we pulled up and saw two workers who worked at the garage where the robots were. I got scarred but my boyfriend said it would be fine. So we quickly got out took a picture and headed on,

Next it was the Hubcap tree. we got onto 322 (black horse pike) and it only took a couple mins but we pulled over at the tree, took a couple pictures and left back home. 

on to the next one :)
