As our children get older we like to let them in on the decision making for vacation time. Unlike many today, we still have jobs giving us paid vacation time. Of the three boys, the oldest would be our “vacation planner”. At fourteen, he is very comfortable on the internet, so we were not too surprised when he presented us with an exciting plan for a trip to some great places in central New Jersey. He had planned something for everyone, even including the stops along the way as well as hotel reservations. Dad wanted to see the Festival of Balloons (held in late July every year). Friends had already told us how beautiful the balloons were and how much they enjoyed the wonderful assortment of available food.
Lots of venders, too, with something for everyone. The Balloon Glow was spectacular. That’s when all the pilots blast the propane burners, which releases a burst of fire into the balloons causing a glow that makes the balloons look like giant fireflies. The two youngest boys were already planning how to spend their allowances at iPlay America, which is an indoor theme park, with everything from an arcade to midway games and bumper cars. We had been to Six Flags before and the boys wanted to try something different.
The special part of the vacation for Mom was a night out with Dad. She had already decided she didn’t want to go to any of the “chain” restaurants (been there, done that) so she could choose from all-American food or go ethnic from Chinese to Thai to Italian or French. So our vacation was planned for the middle of July for ten days. Friends were going to feed our pets and take care of our house, so we felt really good about getting away to enjoy our trip to so many great places in Central New Jersey.
Mother Nature made sure we had lots of heat while in central New Jersey, so we ended up going to the Crystal Springs Family Aquatic Center to cool off. We really enjoyed floating down the lazy river ride and top of the list for the kids were the big tubes to slide down. The swimming pools offered something for everyone. All in all we really enjoyed our trip to central New Jersey and urge all of you to plan a trip there soon.
