Allaire State Park
Or An Ode to Robinwood Dinosaurs We went to Allaire State Park a few years back, in the winter of 2021, because we just needed to get the heck out of the house and get some fresh air. It was quite a bit of a drive from our house. What we found while hiking was […]
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 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 Island Beach State Park
Over the last few summers we got to explore a new to us beach: Island Beach State Park. What a wonderful place it is!! While we have not had the chance to visit every beach in NJ, we have been to a few: Belmar (which was awesome), Keansburg (nope), Seven Presidents (it was alright), Point […]
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 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 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 […]
Our Visit To High Point State Park
Montague Township, NJ Few Times A Year High Point State Park is yet another beautiful place. I feel like every other post I write starts with these words. It is especially true of High Point! With breathtaking views, it is the highest point in NJ. There is camping, miles and miles of hiking trails, a […]
