Default CT/RI/NJ/NY Help

ok let me start and explain the situation, my mother has always been a motorcycle person and loves beautiful scenery. She always asks me why i dont sell my WS6 and buy a beater and a bike cause i allready have my nova as a nice muscle car. well this got my wheels turning, and i have about 3 other buddies/family with fbodys and we are starting to plan a day trip with our mothers. we are planning to do it late march/early april so the weather is nice. we want to all take off the t-tops and cruise the twisties stop somewhere have a nice lunch take some pics and do some nice pics of our cars with great back drops. was just wondering where the best place around here to do that would be. i was thinkin the merrit(15) towards NY(the hutch) because of all the green scenery and the nice smoothe roads. but if anyone has any ideas or great locations let me know. we want to start mid-early morning and end around 4-5pm. we dont want to just be cruising the whole time so it has to have some nice stuff to stop and check out. let me know, thz =)

As for a awesome ride, take rt 8 north off of I-84 and head up to Mass. Basically the directions to drive to LVD, its such a NICE drive, great scenary, and some good places to stop and sight see. That should be definitly a part of the trip.

Which you can pick off of 15 as well since it intersects.

I don't know how far you want to go but I would recomend Rt.6 in Pa. It is the most scenic route in Pa.
