New Jersey and You!
Introduction
Your father has finally succumbed! You and your siblings have promised not to fight and he has consented to spend two weeks traveling with the family along the Northeastern coast of the United States. It has been decided that you will first visit your grandparents who live in New Jersey, and begin your touring there. If all goes well, you will continue on your trip. If there is any fighting or malcontent, the trip will be canceled and dad will play golf for the duration of the vacation.
Before you leave on your trip, it is important that you be informed about why New Jersey is unique . Click here to go to general facts.
