Exciting! The Best Places to Hit This Fall in New Jersey
We are counting down the last remaining days of August and September is right around the corner. It's a time for the kids to get ready to get back to school, workers to return to a regular schedule, and time for exciting places to visit this fall in New Jersey.
Autumn is a beautiful time in New Jersey with cooler crisp weather and turning colors. A great time to get out and enjoy the Garden State. I love "fall" and it's our time to really enjoy the outdoors without the blazing temps, humidity, and bugs of summer lol. Now don't get me wrong I enjoy summer, but I enjoy the "change" in seasons. By the end of summer, I'm ready for the change and ready to get back to hiking and visiting new towns, and attending the many "fall" festivals that happen around New Jersey. Not to mention Halloween and football.
In a recent Visitnj.org article, they gave their list of "Best Fall Getaways in New Jersey: Destinations" The post gave their picks for great places to go this fall in Jersey. One of the spots chosen is right here in Monmouth County.
