It's mid-June and we're already seeing temperatures in the high 90's. Today is the official first day of Summer. Here's a head start on your summer planning.
Each time a summer passes, I look back and tell myself "I should have done more." Needless to say, I'm tired of doing that. This Summer 2018 I want to do it all. Therefore, I have gone ahead and mapped out some fun things to do while the weather is nice and I'm sharing it with you all.
- Hiking
- There's plenty of places to hike in the NYC/NJ area. You don't have to go to a huge park with trails, but if you do want to here's some of the best.
