This review is from: Away for the Weekend: Mid-Atlantic (Paperback)

Having brought along two guide books on several weekend trips throughout New Jersey this summer, I found "New Jersey Day Trips" by Barbara Hudgins to be a much more comprehensive guide to the Garden State's main attractions and hidden treasures than "Away for the Weekend."

This review is from: Away for the Weekend: Mid-Atlantic (Paperback)

This book contains great ideas for weekend trips located through the mid-atlantic region. The book is arranged seasonally, recommending visits when a particular site is at its best, or when an event for festival is taking place.

The book is not meant to be a travel book for a particular state, but rather as an idea generator for finding interesting ways to spend a weekend.

The descriptions of the trips are well written, interesting reading on their own.
