Back to school commercials and sales are taking over the wonderful month of August. Everyone is saying that summer has ended, but seriously guys, it's still August.
Sure people call this month the “Sunday” of summer but it’s a Sunday that lasts 31 days (depending on when you start school — sorry).
I refuse to admit summer is over until I’m back at school and the weather has persuaded me that beach days are over. No back to school advertisement can convince me to think otherwise. I make it my mission to make the most of the summer. That means sleeping in when I can, soaking up the sun, and checking off the activities I wrote on my summer bucket list back when it was still snowing outside.
With just a few weeks left of summer vacation, I have decided to share with you guys a list of some places to go and things to do in New Jersey before the summer actually does end.
1. Visit a food truck.
Food is always fun but food trucks are even better! Check out this list of food truck events!
2. Go down the shore.
Obviously, you want to fit in as many beach days as possible. Here is a list of NJ beaches and prices!
3. Visit Playa Bowls.
While you're down the shore you need to try a Playa Bowl. Don't let the long line scare you- it moves fast. Yes, there are now locations other than at the beach but it's the experience. Here is a list of locations.
4. Go to Six Flags.
A day of fun and rides at Six Flags! Check out their website for more info.
5. Attend a Fair / Festival.

6. Go to an outdoor concert.
7. Go to TopGolf.
Located in Edison, NJ, TopGolf is a super fun way to spend any day or night. Check out their website to learn more about it.
8. Visit NJ Lighthouses.
Visit one or visit them all! Here is a list of lighthouses in New Jersey!
9. Go to Delsea Drive-in Theater.
This is the only drive-in theater in NJ so you definitely want to check it out! Find out what is playing when.
10. Walk around Princeton.
You can walk through Princeton University's campus or explore the town. There are a bunch of restaurants and stores to visit. Make sure to try one of my favorite ice cream places - Thomas Sweet - while you're there! Learn more about Princeton, NJ, here!
Make the most of your last days of summer! Enjoy!
