New Jersey, like many states, runs tourism ads showing its greatest hits. Waterfalls, restaurants, roller coasters, etc.
Welp, you hooked my kid, New Jersey. My kid is *obsessed* with the prospect of visiting New Jersey. New Jersey.
New Jersey.
@bikepedantic if you have the opportunity to do some u-pick I highly recommend it.
@bikepedantic Are you trying to do a bait-and-switch with Pennsylvania?
@bikepedantic If you're coming from Massachusetts, you almost certainly want to get off Amtrak at Newark Penn or at Metropark. Or maybe-remotely Princeton Junction (there are 1-2 daily Amtrak trains that stop there, mostly it's a commuter rail stop.) Trenton station is literally a long walk away from Pennsylvania by the time you're that far west.
@bikepedantic to NJ'S credit, it is a beautiful state once you get off the Turnpike. Princeton is lovely and I'd consider living there if I could afford it. Anyways, you should look up Digger Land near Cherry Hill
"Construction-themed attraction where children can drive, ride & operate heavy machinery."
Holy shit
@bikepedantic Cape May is legit pretty nice, and very bike friendly. Stay in a Victorian B & B, and get some rental bikes. I even think you can take NJ Transit to get there, IIRC, some intrepid GGWash-ers took transit from DC to NYC in 36 hours or something, and the Cape May ferry and transit system from there north was part of it.
@bikepedantic dude. Western Mass and Eastern NY are awesome too. See Mass MoCA, Clark institute, and small towns like Great Barrington and stuff. Very cool waterfalls to be had that direction. And I believe there's a train to Albany with stops along the way? I may be up that way this summer hopefully.
@bikepedantic LMAO I love it
Anyway, challenge accepted, shopping Amtrak tickets to Trenton.
