Ever wanted to go glamping with your family? We took a vacation in a yurt @plumpointlodgeon_senecalake in the Finger Lakes and it was next level! The kids got their own yurt next to Mom and Dad. The inside has the modern necessities (read bathroom, bed and futon) while still getting your family back to nature! For an inside look at what it’s like to go yurting with the kids, head to the link in bio. #njfamily #glamping #yurt #yurting #nature #vacation #yurtlife #yurtliving #yurtcamping

New Jersey is called the Garden State for a reason, and its 30 state parks are a big reason why. But there are plenty more town spots to check out, too, right in your own backyard—including Branch Brook Park in Newark. We found this phenomenal shot by @newarknjblog (James Rios) and just had to share it with you! 🌳🌳🌳 Is there a park near you that's a must-see? Comment below or post your pic, tag us and we'll share it in our stories. Check out njfamily.com for a full list of State Parks (link in bio) 🌳🌳🌳 #njparks #newjerseyparks #njgov #visitnj #newark #branchbrookPark #njisntboring newjerseyisntboring #daytripsnj #ilovenj Ilovenewjersey #summerfun #newarknj @cityofnewarknj #thingstodowiththekids #njthingstodo #newjerseyisbeautiful
