Zip Lining at TreEscape at Mountain Creek Resort in Vernon, NJ
Thanks to the folks at the TreEscape Aerial Adventure Ropes Course for providing my family and me a fun day of challenges in the trees free of charge. All opinions expressed here are my own.

New Jersey to Vermont Road Trip Part 3 (Stowe and Auto Toll Road)
Last week I shared the second leg of my family's road trip from New Jersey to Vermont. (I shared about our Stowe, Vt., hotel, The Lodge at Spruce Peak, and our day checking out sights like the Beb & Jerry;s factory.) My family had driven up through New York State and stayed in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., one night to break up the drive and visited Burlington, Vt., before heading to Stowe. We woke up to a beautiful sunny morning our second full day in Stowe. I was happy since our first full day in Stowe was rainy. (That day we did the Ben & Jerry's tour and went shopping). My family and I Continue reading...
New Jersey to Vermont Road Trip – Part II (Stowe, Vermont)
Earlier this week, I wrote about my family's first leg of our summer vacation from New Jersey to Vermont. (The first two days of our trip we drove up to Saratoga Springs, N.Y., and visited the fun lakeside town of Burlington, Vt.) Today I am going to share a bit about the gorgeous resort we stayed at in Stowe, and about our first evening and first full day in Stowe. After my family spent a beautiful afternoon in Burlington, Vt., we headed east to Stowe, Vt., where we spent the rest of the week. The Lodge at Spruce Peak in Stowe, Vermont I booked a beautiful suite at The Lodge at Continue reading...
New Jersey to Vermont Road Trip – Part 1 (Saratoga Springs, N.Y., and Burlington, Vt.)
Earlier this summer, my family and I took a beautiful road trip from central New Jersey up to Vermont. We saw so many pretty sights! We also brought our 18-month-old Shih Tzu puppy with us. We had a great time! Today I'm sharing the first leg of our trip -- from New Jersey to Saratoga Springs, NY. Vermont is about 6 hours away from my family's home in Central New Jersey. I thought it'd be nice to split up the drive to and from Vermont. That way, we could visit some additional areas and spend fewer hours at a time in the car. For the way up, I picked the beautiful town of Continue reading...

Topgolf – Family Fun, Golfing & Good Food
This post was sponsored by Topgolf of Mount Laurel, NJ. My family and I received a free visit to Topgolf in exchange for my honest review. My family and I aren't golfers, but we had an awesome time golfing this past Sunday at TopGolf in Mount, Laurel, NJ. Topgolf is a top-notch entertainment center for all ages that has locations across the U.S. The concept of Topgolf is really a lot of fun -- when you play at Topgolf, your family or party is assigned a hitting bay, much like you get a lane when going to a bowling alley. You pay for the bay by the hour, not per person, and up to six Continue reading...
