Despite the fact that, as my boyfriend so freqently likes to point out, I was born in Ohio, I consider myself to be a Jersey Girl - and with pride. No, I am not at all like the stereotypical beach bimbo you might see on The Jersey Shore. But I do love Jersey and it does not get enough credit for how awesome it is.
Until now!
My boyfriend shared an article with me, "Ten Things N.J. does better than other states", which made me reflect on just how awesome NJ is!
One of MY favorite things about Jersey is that it's prime location not only puts you within easy access of both New York and Philadelphia, but, like Item #7 in the Top 10 article (on page 3), you also have a temperate climate that puts both lush mountains and sandy beaches right within your reach.
It's easy to take the state you live in for granted, and rereading this reminded me that there are always great things about your state that, because they're always there, you just forget about. So even if you don't live in NJ, take a moment to stop and realize what great things are lurking just around the corner. Every state has its claim to fame and advantages. So if you're trying to plan a vacation, don't forget that there could be adventures waiting within the distance range of your car.
