7 Things to do in NJ ...

No visit to NJ could be complete without seeing the Statue of Liberty up close and personal! I have only ever seen her in pictures, but as I am very patriotic, I know it would be a huge thrill to be right there next to her! I come from a long line of military-my great grandfather, my grandfather, my dad and now my husband have all served in branches of the military. Now I have cousins and brothers who are serving and I count it a privilege and an honor to have such brave men among my relations. So you can see why the Statue of Liberty would be at the very top of my list!

If you are the type of person who likes to take a few days to chill out and relax a little bit on your vacation, definitely make some time to see Leaming's Run Gardens! It is the largest annual garden in the USA with lots of beautiful flowers, lawns, fountains and ponds. It would be a nice place to enjoy a bit of nature and take a relaxing walk. Make sure this is on your list of things to do in NJ!

Do you have and children? Then this is a must-see for you and your family! BoBolink Dairy Farm is one of the most unique kid-friendly things to do in NJ! You can even bring the family dog along! You will all enjoy spending the day at this very cool attraction.

If you've never been horseback riding before, make Echo Stables one of your stops while in NJ! Riding horses is fun for nearly every age, but what makes this stable so unique is that you can go horseback riding at night! What a fun adventure! If you are around horses on a regular basis, this may not be the newest experience for you but I would say to definitely make time for it if you have never ridden horses or if you enjoy it but don't get to do it very often!

Looking for somewhere that you and your sweetheart can enjoy a lovely evening dinner? Rat's Restaurant is one of the most romantic things to do in NJ, and an experience you will both love! The food is delicious and the atmosphere very sultry and makes for a great evening spent together. There are many restaurants to choose from in the great city of New Jersey, but I highly recommend this one for a romantic evening out!

If you have a love of art, this museum is one of the things you need to do in New Jersey! Compete with so many great pieces of art and interesting things to look at and discover, it will be a day well spent. The best part about this museum? It's completely free! I love freebies-not because I'm cheap but because it's nice to enjoy something for a change without having to shell out cash. I'm sure you will too!

After a few fast-paced, fun-filled days of vacation, it will be nice for you to be able to unwind a bit. You can browse through over 60 colonial shops in a historic NJ village. There are, in fact, many historic attraction in New Jersey and I would encourage you to stop by as many of them as you can while visiting. History is important! It tells us where we came from and remembering it is a very good thing. This should most definitely be on your list of things to do in New Jersey!
