Last weekend, Jeff and I went to New Jersey for the annual booksale, to see family, and to visit the places that we enjoy. During this trip we visited Thomas Edison's laboratory, William Carlos Williams' (Jeff's dissertation topic) house, my cousins (with great food), and we stayed in a very nice hotel! It was a great weekend away with only one set back: we got rear-ended with only minor paint damage.

| Edison's Chemistry Lab, considered the most high tech in its time. Edison used many plants and was currently working on making rubber from the Golden Rod Plant; there were many spies during this competitive time. |
