Ocean City Drone Show, Squares and Fare Pizza & The Roost Review: South Jersey Summer Adventures

Image
It has been a busy week around South Jersey! One of the highlights was finally checking out the new Ocean City, NJ Drone Show with our friends from Belize. If you love travel blogs, definitely check out their adventures at Real Life Recess , and if you're ever planning a trip to Belize, their gorgeous Driftwood Gardens Guesthouse is still living rent-free in my head. Seriously... I think about that place almost every day. Ocean City, NJ Drone Show Review The new Ocean City drone show takes place over the boardwalk in between the Music Pier and the old Wonderland Pier, and it was honestly a really cool experience. Hundreds of synchronized drones light up the night sky to create colorful shapes and animations that are surprisingly impressive. If you've never been to a drone show before, I'd definitely recommend adding it to your South Jersey summer bucket list. My only hope is that they rotate the designs throughout the season. Seeing new themes every few weeks would give p...

The Ultimate Summer Combo: Mocktails, Arcade Games, and Dave & Buster's in Gloucester Township, NJ

Is it really summer if you haven't spent way too much time (and money) in an arcade? I don't think so. One thing that makes me a little sad is that so many arcades have ditched the classic paper tickets in favor of electronic point systems. I get it, it's probably cheaper and easier, but nothing beats watching a waterfall of tickets spill out of a machine after hitting the jackpot. Boooooo! Our all-time favorite arcade is Morey's Piers in Wildwood, where you still get a fun mix of paper tickets, electronic points, and bonus games. We've walked away with some amazing prizes over the years, including my beloved Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl Champions blanket, which is still one of my favorite arcade wins ever. A Fun South Jersey Arcade Fact Did you know Skee-Ball was invented in 1908 by Joseph Forester Simpson in Vineland, New Jersey? The game quickly became a sensation on the Atlantic City Boardwalk before spreading across the country. South Jersey has been creating...

Beating the South Jersey Heat with Mocktails at Maplewood Inn in Hammonton

Image
Guyssssss... it's HOT. Like, "walk outside and immediately regret your life choices" hot. The "feels like" temperatures climbed well over 105 degrees across South Jersey, and wow...we definitely felt every single degree of it. Thankfully, I spent a good portion of the week hiding inside with the air conditioning blasting. If there's one thing we all need during a South Jersey heat wave, it's hydration. Mostly water...but I firmly believe a refreshing mocktail deserves a spot in the rotation too. A Hot Day in Wildwood with WMGM Earlier this week, I got to spend the day hanging out with 103.7 WMGM and Corona at The Inlet on Olde in Wildwood. Ironically, as a Corona girl this summer (yes, I hear the jokes), I get to travel up and down the Jersey Shore every Saturday giving away prizes, coolers, swag, and even cash. It's an absolute blast...but it is BUSY. Between talking with listeners, walking the venue, and handing out prizes, I barely have time to e...
