We're going to NJ  
Finally, finally, finally have gotten the better half to commit to the dates he's available for traveling to NJ! We're going to a wedding on Sat., Sept. 16 but will be around for a couple more days (Sun., Sept. 17 - Wed., Sept. 20). We're flying out the evening of the 20th.

Since he isn't thrilled at the idea of going to the Brooklyn Museum - which totally boggles my mind but I suppose not everyone grooves on archaeology - I'm trying to think of things to do in the City that will interest him. He's big time into American history, military history, and enjoys hikes. Obviously, some time in Central Park is called for and South Street Maritime Museum looks like a good possibility as does delving into history in and around Wall Street. There's probably a night at Spamalot in our future, as well.

[livejournal.com profile] jalabert has already given me some excellent suggestions and I'm researching them. Any others are welcome, as well, since this trip has to please BOTH of us. :)

I think I'm going to make up three plans: one for museums in The City, one for pure nature, and one for a little of each. Then I can see if any one of those appeals more to Joe. We'll have a rental car so it might make sense to run around the countryside since my trip later this year will be almost entirely City museums. I expect we'll be too late to really see the color of the leaves but it won't stop it from being gorgeous.

My visits up there are just never long enough, damnit.

If you mean for your trip in September, you'll actually be way early. If you mean a trip in November, yeah, probably. But peak foliage around here isn't until late October.
