Be sure you have your camera with you.
• Wine Country: There are more than 60 vineyards in New Jersey. Take a weekend to search out some of your favorites and enjoy their beauty, history, and their drink.
• A Day In Red Bank: Reader's Digest suggests a visit to Red Bank and a trip to Robinson Ale House. "After your meal, take a stroll down Broad Street, where you’ll discover boutiques, art galleries and specialty shops. And if you have some extra time, be sure to swing by JBJ Soul Kitchen—yes, that’s Jon Bon Jovi’s venture!"
• Historic sites and scenic parks: New Jersey has deep history being part of the original colonies here in America. So go out and get your steps in and enjoy.
