Our Lifestyle
We love to explore everything our area has to offer, and theres a lot to do here! From the beaches to the cities, we love to have adventures exploring areas and learning about history. Sometimes, though, we just like to stay home and be casual, watching our favorite shows or movies, or hanging out in our backyard and enjoying the nature.
Things That Make Us Happy:
- Exploring new places together
- Traveling
- Spending time with family and friends
- Watching a great movie or television show
- Stepping out for the occasional concert, play, musical, ballet, or symphony
- Listening to music and sometimes dabbling with playing an instrument or dancing
- Playing board games and assembling puzzles
- Hosting family and friends for a dinner party or cookout
- Curling up with a good book
- Walking along the beach down the road from our home
- Exploring local cuisine and festivals
Our Home
Our beautiful New Jersey shore community is quiet, safe, and filled with fun activity options. People from all over the country vacation to our area to enjoy the beaches, boardwalks, and history that New Jersey offers.
Our backyard backs up to protected woods, where wild white tail deer appear daily. We have a fire pit that we relax to year-round, making us feel like were camping in our own yard. Around the corner from our home is a large neighborhood playground, clubhouse and pool.
We love to host big family and friend gatherings. Each year we usually host Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. We have a couple holiday traditions: Every Christmas morning we wear matching pajamas while we open our gifts. Every Christmas we also book a family weekend at a local hotel, where we play games at the arcade and do crafts in one of the rooms with the nephews. We also do a family Easter egg hunt each spring at one of the family members' yards. We look forward to sharing these traditions with our future child for years to come.
The Jersey Shore
We are only 30 minutes from several family-fun activities, including Storybook Land, which for 50 years has kept the spirit of childhood alive with 20-acres of storybook attractions depicting children's stories and nursery rhymes in a lovely park setting, Long Beach Island, which houses the Fantasy Island Amusement Park with carnival rides & games, the Atlantic City Aquarium and the indoor Island Waterpark in Atlantic City.
We are an hour and a half away from the huge American Dream mall, which has an indoor mall, theme park and water park. Just beyond that is New York City, our second home, which has countless museums, attractions and other educational opportunities for kids. We are also an hour away from historic Philadelphia and peaceful Cape May at the foot of New Jersey.
