Best Summer Vacation Spot in New Jersey

If you are in need of the perfect family-friendly vacation spot, check out the communities of Wildwood and Cape May, NJ.
 
Wildwood, a small island town, is connected to the historic town of Cape May by a bridge. These small scenic towns are a hidden vacation spot on the East Coast. Historic colonial bed and breakfasts are excellent home bases, and the outdoor Cape May, Washington Street Mall, is the perfect place for all the merch and goodies your heart desires, as well as family fun on a cloudy day.

How To Recover After A Poor Or Dissatisfying Vacation

It’s never a nice feeling to save up all year for a mammoth, much-anticipated, wonderful vacation...only for it to be a disappointment. Perhaps the service you used was unreliable and overbooked, the accommodations had seen better days, there were flight cancellations or delays, or an accident, such as a cruise ship encountering a technical issue or even putting you in harm’s way, was something you had to deal with.

“The present moment is the only moment available to us, it is the door to all moments.” - Thich Nhat Hanh

It’s officially spring. The birds wake each day chirping loudly. The sky dips between glorious sunshine and sprinkles of rain, the temperature shifts on a whim. The ebb and flow of winter’s chill transitions to summer sunshine - we’re full on in the mix of it all: the present, the here and now. This elusive space, the one so many of us would like to be able to stay in, often evades us.

Stepping off the incredibly hot and humid bus, I was greeted by a beautiful golden fence and vibrant red tile. The top of it read: Choeung Ek Genocidal Center.

From Tradition to Competition: The History and Resilience of Lacrosse

It’s the last minute of the game, down by one. You and your teammates are looking on with bated breath, hoping that once bounce, one play, will go your way. 

A single pass and one perfectly placed shot in either direction could be the difference between heartbreak and triumph.

Take a Day Trip Into History!!! Visiting the National Memorial Day Museum

A holiday meant to mourn and honor fallen soldiers has turned into a way to ring in summer each year. This holiday, of course, is Memorial Day.

The holiday of Memorial Day began after the Civil War as a way to honor the 750,000 lives lost to the war.

It has turned into a day to remember all those who have served and lost their lives since that conflict ended over 150 years ago.
