1 - Super Coffee at
Super 8 |
|
In a gesture of hospitality, all Super 8 motels in the
United States and Canada will offer travelers unlimited free coffee,
anytime, whether they stay overnight or not. To qualify for the free
coffee, consumers must buy a Super 8 stainless-steel coffee mug at
any of the nearly 2,100 Super 8 motels in the United States and
Canada. The suggested retail price is $5.
“It's a given that
coffee is a staple of any road trip, and Super 8 is doing its part
to help reduce the cost of travel this summer,” said Super 8
President John Valletta. “Every little bit helps.” Phone: (800)

2 - Battleship New Jersey -
Come Aboard! |
|
| This is the longest battleship ever built (by 3"), and
America's most decorated one and it has served in every military
conflict of the 20th century. Now a floating museum with exhibits on
the history and design of battleships, a 4D flight simulator ride
and amazing tours which include the combat engagement center where
you can participate in a missile launch. We've saved the best part
for last - on Friday and Saturday evenings in the summer you can
sleep on board in the sailor's bunks, chow down in their mess hall
and wake to Reveille. Phone: 856-966-1652 www.battleshipnewjersey.org

3 - Chocolate Lace |
|
During the turn of the century in Czarist Russia, the
privileged enjoyed an opulent lifestyle. Eugenia Tay and her family
had a tradition to celebrate first snowfall by drizzling melted
caramelized sugar onto the fresh snow. As the sugar cooled, it
quickly hardened into crisp lacy patterns. They would take these
morsels and dip them into pots of dark chocolate. During the Russian
Revolution, Tay immigrated to the United States, settling in New
York.
It was at that time that she began making Chocolate
Lace for others outside her family. "People started asking her to
make it for them for gifts," (now) Mrs. Hauser said. Eventually, a
machine was developed to help her make the product. This treat is
still made today in Connecticut on a small machine that Eugenia
designed which recreates those lacy patterns she remembered from her
childhood. No two pieces are the same. You can buy some along I-95
at Exit 21 at The Chocolate Shoppe. Kids will love the showcase full
of 21 colors of M & M's and 21 flavors of Jelly Bellies.
