Our Visit To Willowwood Arboretum
Again, I wrote this a few years ago. Since then we have gone back on many occasions to Willowwood Arboretum. It is a great spot for a quiet walk, and a bit of a meditative time. It never disappoints. The most recent time was the summer of 2019, it is as lush, green and peaceful as […]
Our Visit To Johnson Park
I can’t believe for all the trips that I have done with the kids in the past 15 yeas, I have never been to this park. I would drive by it daily on my way to Rutgers for years, and I never noticed it. It is most definitely worth a notice. Most recently we visited […]
Our Visit to Sandy Hook Lighthouse
We go to Sandy Hook often, and several times we have done the tour of the light house. In fact, we have been there since our visit in 2017, and it is still as lovely, and educational as ever. (2017) At first we had a class with a homeschool group to the Marsh and Ocean […]
Our Visit To Double Trouble State Park
Lacey and Berkeley Townships July 2014 This is one place that we went to last summer that I keep meaning to mention, and finally got to it. I wanted to make sure that I put it here before the hot days of summer because it is a wonderful place to go and cool off in […]

Our Visit To Princeton University and Art Museum
Princeton, NJ Frequent Visitors One of my kids has an activity close to Princeton that lasts half day. It is way too far for me to be able to come home, so usually my seven year old and I have a few hours to kill in Princeton. It is wonderful. I have wanted to explore […]
Free Activities For Kids….
… At Your Local Stores. Recently I went to a music store, where the person helping me told me about their classes for kids that are free. I have not even suspected that this store might offer something so great for kids, and it got me thinking: what other places would do that as well. […]
Our Visit To Big Brook Fossil Site
Marlboro, NJ Summer 2017 Big Brook is quite an interesting place to visit. It is not a place that I would ever know about without a few awesome people that told me about it. I know I took some time to write about it, but better late then never, and hopefully useful for this summer. […]
