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.
Camping At Dingmans Campground in Dingmans Ferry PA
Dingmans Ferry, PA Every Year since 2015 Unfortunately our most recent experience in the early fall of 2018 left me stunned and short for words. I can no longer recommend that people take their families there. We were sitting around a campfire at about 1o:30 pm at night. Quietly talking. The kids were in their […]
Our Visit To Rutgers Gardens
This is yet another amazing place that we have visited for the first time a few years ago! There are no words to describe how embarrassed I feel about it. I have gone to Rutgers for five years, and never once has it occurred to me that there are so many wonderful places. Of course, […]
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 Bowman Hill Wildflower Preserve
Bucks County, PA May 2018 This has been a long time coming!! I’d drive by that place a few times a month, and would always wonder what is there. Finally we made it! This time it was just my little one, my husband and I. The big kid was off on his own adventure. ***This page […]
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 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. […]
Our Visit To Watchung Reservation
Mountainside, NJ At least every month for the last 15 years! Trailside Nature Center and Watchung Reservation is a wonderful place to visit with your family! However it has seen some changes in the past few years. The old dam has been rebuild into a brand new dam. Lake Surprise does go up and down in water […]
Our Visit To Spruce Run And Round Valley State Parks
Clinton and Lebanon Township, New Jersey Every Summer We love camping! My husband and I used to go with friends before we were married. Then, after we were married, it was with our nephews when they were young, then with our nephews and their friends. After that it was our nephews, their friends and our […]
Our Visit To Ringing Rocks State Park
Upper Black Eddy, Bucks County, Pennsylvania October 2013 Ringing Rocks State Park in PA is definitely an interesting place to visit. The reason it is called Ringing Rocks is if you hit a rock with a hammer or another rock it makes a ringing sound, almost like a bell, but to me it sounded more […]
