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 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 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 Thomas Edison Center At Menlo Park
In 2015 we had a chance to visit The Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park. Personally, I am more of a Tesla sort of girl, but I never miss an opportunity for a hands on history lesson for my kids. When a friend organized a group tour of the Center we jumped on board. Thomas Edison […]
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 […]
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 Howell Living History Farm
Lambertville, NJ June 2012 Howell Living History Farm is always a wonderful place to visit. Located in Lambertville NJ, it is fairly easy to get to (just make sure you use their address from their website: 70 Wooden’s Lane, Lambertville, New Jersey instead of the mailing address that sometimes comes up when you search for them […]
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 Mercer Museum
Doylestown, PA November 2016 This spring the kids and I took a trip to the Mercer Museum in Doylestown, PA. For my two boys a fun museum is a difficult thing to find. They love The Museum of Natural History, but are somewhat warm to art museums, no matter how much I like them. The […]
