Our Visit To Cape May
This has been a long time coming. I have lived in NJ for more than half of my life, and to my shame have never visited Cape May. Until this last summer. We ripped off the band aid and rented an Airbnb. First, where we stayed was outside of town, a short walk from the […]
Our Visit To Deep Cut Gardens
Deep Cut Gardens is one of those great gems in the state of New Jersey. Located in Middletown NJ it is a fun spot to explore. First of all, it is free to visit. They offer some great programs for the public, especially for the gardeners out there. I especially am amazed by the seed […]
Our Visit To Chincoteague Island
Morning after we finished our crazy single day adventure at Washington D.C. we headed out, sore feet and all, down to Chincoteague Island. It was a three hour ride, which was not bad. Remember, this was mid May, so the weather was rainy, foggy and chilly. Not beach weather at all. I am very happy […]
Our Visit To Washington DC
May 2018 This was quite the trip for our family. It has been a while since we planned something quite like this, and I have to tell you, next time, I need to do a way better job planning. The idea was to drive down to D.C., spend some time there, and then head over […]
Our Visit To Batsto Village
This spring we found ourselves in Hammonton NJ. From us this is quite a distance. We were there for an appointment to buy some blueberry bushes, but wound up getting there 2 hours early. What can I say, we needed something to do in the meantime. As we drove, I spotted the Batsto Village sign, […]
Hiking Stairway To Heaven
I have read one of the articles describing the best places to hike in NJ, and Stairway To Heaven jumped out at me right away. Located in Vernon, it is quite far from where I live. Thankfully, I have a friend who grew up in this area and was willing to take us, newbies, hiking […]
Our Visit To Van Vleck Gardens and Kip’s Castle
Our Visit To Van Vleck Gardens and Kip’s Castle It was early morning on a Saturday that I yanked my husband out of bed and ran to the car before the kids or grandparents woke up. Taking a quick cup of coffee to go with us we dashed for the car. The plan: to go […]
Our Visit To Sourland Mountain Preserve
We went for a hike at the Sourland Mountain Preserve with a group of friends, and it was fantastic! We have, since, gone there multiple times, every time we enjoyed it!
Our Visit To Leonard J Buck Garden
Nestled in the heart of New Jersey is a beautiful little place. Leonard J Buck Garden. It is a lovely garden, filled with paths, ponds, streams and tiny, adorable bridges. At the end of October we made a plan to visit it together with friends.
Our Visit To Montclair Art Museum
I have had the Montclair Art Museum on my list of places to visit for a long time. When we were visiting the nearby Thomas Edison National Historical Park, and I realized that the Montclair Art Museum is only a few minutes away from it, I jumped on the opportunity. Especially since I only had […]
