Our Visit To The Waterloo Village
Our visit to The Waterloo Village was one of those in-the-middle-of-the-pandemic-most-things-are-still-closed field trips. The world was still recovering from the shock that Covid-19 brought to our lives. Most things were open for outdoor only, no gatherings, 6 feet apart activities. We headed over to The Waterloo Village because it was a place we have never […]
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 […]
Hiking The Columbia Trail
A friend suggested this hike, and off we went with a group of parents and kids. This was such an interesting hike to take. You walk past gnome and fairy houses, an iron forge, and abandoned house, a museum aptly titled “THE SOLITUDE MUSEUM”, and you end up at an awesomely huge dam.
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, […]
Our Visit To Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge
We have been to the Environmental Education Center, and we frequent the Raptor Trust, so it was quite surprising that it took us so long to get to the Great Swamp. As you can see from the photos, we were there on a bright and sunny day in early spring, or whatever you can call […]
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 Highlands Natural Pool
Another beautiful place from my bucket list checked off this summer! On our visit to Highlands Natural Pool, we enjoyed swimming in a pool made from stream fed waters that run off the mountains of the Norvin Green State Forest. My friend will swear to you that the water in the pool have magical healing […]
Our Visit to Lakota Wolf Preserve
We went for a second time! It was just as much fun as the first. We enjoyed the wolves, and being among them in such a magical way. The hosts were as knowledgeable as ever and the kids enjoyed themselves. We went with a group, and it was considerably more people then when we just […]
Our Visit To Herrontown Woods Arboretum
Life takes me to the Princeton area quite frequently, and I absolutely love the days where I have the chance to explore some place new. Several times I was able to go for a lovely hike in the Herrontown Woods Arboretum. I have heard of it before, but it was not what I expected. When I […]
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!
