Day Trips NJ

Gas up the car, bring your pup, and discover new places with Barry & Karen every weekend!

Author: Jersey Girl & Barry

My husband Barry and I are Jersey born and raised. I grew up in Essex County (West Orange) and Barry grew up in Morris County (Rockaway - White Meadow Lake). Together we've lived in Essex, Union and Monmouth Counties! For eight years we were living in Plymouth, MA and we did love it, but I missed the Garden State and our friends and family. Luckily Barry got his dream job at the NHL in Manhattan and now we're back and very happy! About once a week or so we've been re-exploring our favorite places and also finding new wonderful places in NJ. I hope this space will help inform newbies to NJ and also do honor to the State I (and Barry) love :) Enjoy!
