Our "stay-cation" week of day trips in and around New Jersey turned out to be a lot of fun. Along with trips to the Jersey Shore and the Camden aquarium, we checked out the amazing variety of rocks at the Franklin Mineral Museum...
...including this large display of rocks that fluoresce under UV light.It was an amazing sight when the overhead lights were turned off so the rocks seemed to glow in the dark.
We also visited the Lakota Wolf Preserve near the Delaware Water Gap, where four packs of Tundra, Timber and Arctic wolves thrive in a natural setting.
And we ventured out-of-state to Philadelphia. There we checked out the Rodin Museum, which has the largest collection of the French sculptor's works outside Paris...
...strolled along Ben Franklin Parkway to the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art...
...and toured the Franklin Institute's special exhibit on Galileo. (No photos were allowed there, but here's a link to the exhibit's site.)
Next stop: Noyac for our annual week of beaching and boating. Hope to see many of you there!
