1. Adventure Aquarium
Adventure Aquarium is a lot of fun for the whole family! If you remember, my husband and I took Mabel there for some quality family time shortly before he deployed. We really enjoyed it! From tropical fish, to hippos, to exotic birds and even sharks, you’ll be set to have a great day. We also really loved the underwater tunnel where you can view everything up close!
2. Liberty Science Center
Does hands-on learning sound fun to you and your kids? Well, the Liberty Science Center is for you! With exhibits that are sure to interest every member of the family, all will leave impressed and satisfied.. In addition, Liberty Science Center boasts the nation’s largest IMAX Dome Theater and the Joseph D. Williams Science Theater, which shows 3D movies. Also, while in the area, grab some lunch or dinner at one of the great nearby restaurants. Dining is divine in New Jersey!
3. Pinelands National Reserve
Do you like hiking? Camping? Boating? Canoeing? Fishing? Horseback riding? If you said yes to any of those, then you and your family should consider visiting the Pinelands National Reserve. With over 49 miles of trail and endless waterways to explore, you have all the tools you need to get into nature and create some one-of-a-kind memories with your family.
4. Battleship New Jersey
Permanently located on the Waterfront in Camden, Battleship New Jersey is a treasure trove of military and New Jersey History.

You’re getting more commercial and less about your family – especially with no videos anymore. We miss that.
Hey Wendy, thanks so much for the feedback. 🙂 I like to think I have a good balance between family posts and sponsored content. Vlogs are a bit trickier since the whole editing process takes a lot of of time but I’ve been trying to work on getting them back up and running. I still really enjoy working with companies (especially baby/kid product reviews) and this post might give you a little bit more insight on the whole process: http://striped-verse.flywheelsites.com/2013/09/the-truth-about-sponsored-posts.html
