Dear Friends,

Make Memories this Summer 2014!  It's summer and it's time to sink into the summer spirit, if you haven't already. Wake up to kids at home, lounge around, and enjoy the carefree and lazy afternoons pool side. Turn on the sprinklers, make lemonade, squeeze in a daytime nap, ... or simply do nothing. Downtime is great for the mind and soul!  Rejuvenate. Isn't that what summer's about? 

But I'm sure before you know it, you'll be badgered with "I'm Bored? There's nothing to do!"  No worries, don't despair because NJ has got you covered. For a change of pace, spend some time checking out our Summer Fun Survival Guide. We mixed in free stuff, from concerts and movies under the stars, to nature centers, festivals and fairs, historical sites, lighthouse visits and firework celebrations, as well as getaways and day trips. You'll find action and adventure at every corner of NJ. Go explore. Go online www.njkidsonline.com for our top things to do, destination reviews and more. Have a blast! 

Best Regards,
NJ Kids Team
