NICKY FIFTH AND T-BONE MAY GO PRO!

We have some good news!  While T-Bone and I have been working very hard to show off all of New Jersey's great destinations, the New Jersey Senate and Assembly have actual bills to name us Official Junior Ambassadors for New Jersey.  That means more kids, families, and schools will know about the great places that we visit and more people will be able to follow us!  Now, as unofficial junior ambassadors we didn't get paid and from what we understand, official juniors ambassadors get the same amount!  But that's okay because we're having so much fun, that's payment enough!  So keep your eyes peeled for Senate Resolution 84 and once the Assembly Resolution has a number, we'll let you know.  We'd like to thank Senator Goodwin for sponsoring the Senate bill and Representative Milam for sponsoring the Assembly bill.  We've spent the summer visiting NJ's shores and beach  towns and we'll be sharing those adventures soon!

When The Moon Hits Your Eye...You're At The Italian American Festival

This weekend, at T-Bone's standard 5:00 dinner time, he will have a big problem.  We'll be at the Italian American Festival in Hamilton Township and he's going to have one big decision to make!  I think you can smell the food from the Burlington Bristol Bridge!  The best strategy is to skip breakfast and pace yourself as you eat your way through the festival.  Of course, when you run out of room, you can always bring some home!

Where: Mercer County Park

When: Friday-Sunday, September 24-26, 2010    12:00 Noon - 10:00 PM

What:  Music, Dance Hall, Vendors, Rides, Saturday Fireworks, and FOOD!

Food:  You want it, they have it!  Tomato Pie, Zeppoles, Salads, Pasta, Eggplant, Chicken, Cheesesteaks, Funnel Cakes, and Italian Pastries.

See you there!

WE'RE BACK!

Well, it's been a little while, but T-Bone and I are back and will be posting updates and sharing tips and ideas from the places we have been visiting over the last month.  As Unofficial Junior Ambassadors, we have spent the last few weeks traveling all over the state and we have visited some awesome places.  We decided to spend the summer checking out great shore towns and we learned that there are 127 miles of Atlantic Ocean coast in New Jersey.  We went to the Keansburg Amusement Park and Runaway Rapids Water Park, we saw the Sea Girt Light House, and Bill Burr's Flamingo Golf on Long Beach Island.  We will be sharing our pictures and stories in the coming days.

This weekend's hot tip:

WHERE: Burlington City

WHEN:  Saturday, September 11, 2010

TIME:  9:00-4:00

WHAT:  WOOD STREET FESTIVAL

If youare near Burlington City on Saturday make sure you swing by the Wood Street Festival.  It's a great outdoor event that has amazing food and vendors, tours of the famous Revell House, and lots of fun.  They estimate about 30,000 people attend each year and the forecast looks sunny!  The Revell House is the oldest house in Burlington County and has been preserved to look like it did when Benjamin Franklin had supper with the woman who lived there. It's often called the Gingerbread House because that woman served Ben Franklin gingerbread!
