Delaware is for lovers!
Actually, I'm not sure what Delaware is for, since we stopped at a hotel right after we crossed over the border. We spent the whole day in New Jersey, and ended up on the Jersey shore at Bradley Beach, which I visited this summer with the Gotham Girls. We hiked around Island Beach State Park, and took a lot of pictures of funny signs. I found several entries for our "Best Nativity Scene" quest item, including a nativity scene bumper sticker, which is awesome, and blurry, and linked below.
