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 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 […]
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 The Thomas Edison National Historical Park
West Orange, NJ October 2016 This October we have visited lots of awesome places. The only thing I was short on is time to write about them all. This is our visit to the Thomas Edison National Historic Park. It was a very interesting experience. ***This page contains affiliate links.***
Our Visit To Adventure Aquarium
Several summers ago, we made a trip down to Camden to visit the Adventure Aquarium. It was quite a long drive to get there for us. However, in July and August, the aquarium was showing some teacher love, and gave free tickets for a weekday in those two months to educators and a guest to […]
Our Visit To Raptor Trust
This is not our first visit to Raptor Trust. When the kids were little, we would go there to visit the birds. When we would find a wounded little bird on our front lawn, we would put it in the shoe box and drive it to Raptor Trust. There, the wonderful people working there would […]
Our Visit To Liberty Science Center
Since I first wrote about our visit to Liberty Science Center a few years ago, I have now gone back with my second, now older kid in 2019, and the experience has not changed. It was still great. ***This page contains affiliate links.***
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 Environmental Education Center
We love the Nature Center in the Watchung Reservation. When a friend invited us to go for a hike by the Environmental Education Center in Lord Stirling NJ, I jumped right on.
