the lovely Melt Bakery lady We visited the High Line Park recently and happened upon the Melt Bakery cart on 23rd Street at the lawn. For the record, Melt Bakery to me sounds like a grilled cheese sandwich place. But it’s not. It’s an ice cream sandwich place. And it was yummy. The kids [...] Did you know that those magazine photos of wolves in the wild usually aren’t taken in the wild? They’re not, because wolves can smell you a mile away and they want no part of you. Those photos are usually taken at a wolf preserve, like the Lakota Wolf Preserve in Columbia, NJ. We stopped by [...] Phineas and Ferb are headed to Times Square on Monday morning, to promote their upcoming Disney Channel movie (August) and do a show for you! While you’re there, you can check out the 27 foot Airstream trailer – inside are games and “Perry-oke.” The bus is outfitted as Phineas’ and Ferb’s teal-colored pet platypus, complete [...] Just got back from a few days in Ocean City, which gets accolades as the most family-friendly town, and best boardwalk on the shore. I don’t have much to compare it to, but we had a great time and indeed, it was a great boardwalk. Thought I’d do a photo highlight of the boardwalk. Of [...] We’re excited at Jersey Kids to feature a Q&A with author Jen A. Miller, whose second edition of Explorer’s Guides – The Jersey Shore:Atlantic City to Cape May, a Great Destination, just came out. Jen also keeps up with the daily shore happenings at her blog, Down the Shore with Jen. We asked her about [...] As school draws to an end, I’ve been collecting lists of places to go and things to do this summer. Here are a few links to get you started: –Summer Family-Fun Guide – fairs and festivals in the Garden State this summer (Star Ledger) –Summer Camp Guide – in case you are still making plans (Star [...] We had a plan for what we’d do and see in Boston. It was educational. It was cultural. It was physical ( lots and lots of walking). The highlights for the kids, however, were not the ones we planned for them. They did not love the Freedom Trail. They did not love seeing Daddy’s alma [...] it's not a NYC boat trip without the Statue of Liberty The kids were not overly excited when I told them we were going on a speed boat ride – with a bunch of other people. What fun is it if you don’t get to drive the boat yourself? And my husband chalked this [...] Did you know that Newark’s Branch Brook Park has thousands of cherry blossom trees, with more variety (and number) than those in Washington DC, which is so well known for their trees. The Cherry Blossom Festival is coming up in April, and it’s popular, with 10,000 visitors a day at the peak. Aside from [...] When we found out the kids had President’s Day Week off, we started looking into vacations. The kids hadn’t yet learned to ski properly (a two hour lesson three years ago didn’t count). We figured they should learn to ski at a place specializing in teaching kids. And after a lot of research, we booked [...] |
