C is for...

We are giving the ABC of your State Blog Fest a shot, a blog fest set up by Fleur de Aleta.  The idea is, every Wednesday, we have to post a fact about our home state New Jersey for the letter of that week.

We are starting somewhat late, missing A and B, but without further ado, I present the letter C.

The City of Cape May - A great shore town that houses some beautifully designed and preserved Victorian homes.  A gorgeous beach and small shops filled with wares specific to the signs on the buildings.

Cape May County Zoo - Not in the city of Cape May, but in the county.  The zoo houses hundreds of animals, including a tiger, cheetahs, a lion, bears, otters, and much more.  The zoo is place comfortably off the Garden State Parkway and set back in the woods.  Oh yeah, did I mention that it is a free zoo!

Cow Town - In Salem County.  Cow town is the home of the first ever rodeo in the USA and today is the sight of a huge auction for area farmers.  We are still the Garden State.

Camden Aquarium - Set in the center of the Camden Waterfront, the Camden Aquarium is a beautiful Aquarium with thousands of fish and animals.  It is educational and entertaining, the only problem is getting there, the surrounding town isn't the nicest.

Cheesequake National Park - A park in north Jersey that I was recently at for a business BBQ.  The scenery is gorgeous, filled with lakes and trees.  Plus, it has fields and pavilions where you can set up and have fun and picnics.

I am already thinking about what to do next week, the all exciting D.
