We’re not doing any long trips this year due to finances.
My older daughter got married last Sept and my younger is getting hitched in two weeks. Paying for two wedding in less than 12 months can be, well….about equal to buying a new Jag sedan for cash.
But anyway, I’m not complaining. We’ve been doing some nice “day trips”.
We went to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty last week.
And a while back we went to Washington’s Crossing National Park with my cousin visiting from the UK. My cousin was happy to hear that I had taken him to a Hessian defeat and not a British one. This is the place where George Washington snuck up on the Hessians (who were mostly inebriated due to their celebratory Christmas parties).
We also toured part of the grounds at Princeton University this summer.
And we’ve been to The Jersey Shore too, which is the best place on the planet in my view.
But for us, the knock-your-socks-off day-trip this year was ~The Grounds For Sculpture~. This place was put together by Seward Johnson (one of the “Johnson & Johnson” heirs). Wacky and great fun.
We’re going to Virginia Beach to see some relatives and we may sneak over to Williamsburg if we can (I’d really like to go to VIR too, but I don’t think we have time)..
So…….anyone else have any good day-trips?
