I loved the Chevy Impala's gorgeous leather and wood accents, double sunroof, backseat AC plug, and hidden storage space behind the navigation panel.

They seemed like a bunch of little kids whose parents told them they have to wait 30 minutes after eating to swim. I could see these beautiful Siberian Huskies couldn't wait to go.

Celebrate NJ Down the Shore

by Shannon on 6.6.13 · 0 comments

This week I’m taking you on a journey through my state of New Jersey to showcase all the wonderful reasons why you should travel here. Read the first post here: Celebrate NJ With Stronger Than the Storm Week.

Seven President’s Beach, Long Branch, NJ

Admittedly, I’m not a huge beach person. I do like to go a couple times a year though, and when I asked my fellow travel writers about their experiences “down the shore” in NJ, I was surprised by all the amazing places I have yet to visit. Check them out:

What’s your favorite place on the Jersey Shore? Add you own link or suggestion in the comments!

30 Seconds With the Flagman

5.30.13

While waiting on the platform at the Strasburg Railroad, I noticed a man running alongside the Pint-Sized Pufferbelly – Strasburg’s 23-minute miniature steam train ride. He was dressed in traditional railroad garb – oiled-up jeans and a blue button-down shirt – and carried a red flag. I watched him, running along with the train, back and forth, again and again. I had to get the scoop.

How To Use Evernote to Capture Your Travel Memories

4.9.13

Evernote is one of my favorite apps to use when I’m traveling. I struggle with constantly wanting to note and photograph everything I do – often at the expense of actually experiencing what I’m doing. And I don’t always want to let the whole world know I’m out of town.

Making Family Skiing Easier with Ski Rental Delivery

2.13.13

Black Tie Ski Rental arrived at our vacation home in a van stocked with ski equipment of various sizes and brands. They spent time with each person in our group (a total of 11 people) to make sure everyone got the right fit. But I wasn’t waiting around in any lines. I gave them my boot to be fitted to the rental ski bindings, then I was off to finish my chicken pot pie.

Buick: Not Your Grandma’s Car

1.27.13

I’m not a car expert, but I know what feels good to drive and what makes my family comfortable. The Buick Regal GS is sporty, stylish, and comfortable.

You’ll Say Mahalo to Shaka

1.21.13

Located on the beach in Pier Village, Shaka is a Mexican-style restaurant with a Hawaiian flavor and a surfing theme. They serve quesadillas, rice bowls, tacos, salads and burritos. I loved the “make your own” burrito option, loading mine with chicken, pineapple, brown rice, and black beans.

Rocking the Disney Wine & Dine Half-Marathon

1.11.13

I wanted to train for a half-marathon, and I love Disney World, so the runDisney races were my first choice. I absolutely loved Epcot’s International Food & Wine Festival last time I went, so I was stoked to run a half marathon that ended at the Festival!
