Seeing Relatives and Toll Details

I have enjoyed these days visiting with my Mom, Siblings, and many nieces and nephews.  There is still  more than 130 range on the car despite several test drives, a trip to the movies yesterday (saw the latest Transformers movie with nephews), and drive to church today (Sunday).  This week I will help my Mom with some planting around the house and perhaps some re-caulking in the shower. The weather is sort of rainy (on and off) so I will hold off on a trip to the beach.

I have been asked to provide my toll breakdown on the journey here, so this is it:

No tolls in the West (That is why roads are called freeways there).

July 7: On I-90E  in Beloit, WI at the border to IL, toll was $1.90.  I exited onto 39/51 Southbound to avoid more tolls on the way to Aurora, IL.

On July 8:  On I-80E/I-90E in Indiana, I paid a toll of $4.30 before entering Ohio.  Then, in Ohio I took Exit 59 at 8:34am and paid a toll of $4.25.  Later that day, on the way from Macedonia, OH to Cranberry, PA,  I paid another $4.25 on the Ohio Turnpike at 6:19pm and I paid $5.90 on the PA Turnpike at 7:12pm. The final toll that day was a whopping $9.70 at 9:37pm (also on PA Turnpike).  I decided that would be my last time on toll roads in PA!!

On July 10:  On I-95 in Maryland, I paid $4.00 at 11:45am.  Then, another Maryland toll was a surprising $8.00 at 12:25pm.  About 20 miles later, Delaware claimed its $4.00 from me at 12:43pm.  So, I left the toll roads for the rest of the Eastbound journey since I had only quarters left and did not want to enter toll roads without enough cash on hand.

So, the toll total is:

$1.90 +$4.30 +$4.25 +$4.25 + $5.90 +$9.70 + $4 +$8 +$4 = $46.30

By State:  Wisconsin ($1.90), Indiana ($4.30), Ohio ($8.50), Pennsylvania ($15.60), Maryland ($12.00), Delaware ($4.00).
