NJ State Theater in New Brunswick, NJ

Every so once in a while we go to NJ State Theater to see a few on schooltime performances.  We homeschool, so it is easy enough for us to purchase the tickets for schooltime performances anytime there is something good playing.  It is most certainly worth the effort.
Last year we saw Blast!, "Sylvester and the Magic Pebble", "MOMIX remix" and the Shanghai Acrobats. 

With Blast! my youngest was only able to sit through the first half. We read "Sylvester" so much, that it was very interesting to see it come to life.  The Shanghai Acrobats was an amazing show. Both kids loved it. They sat with their mouths gaping open. We also had great seats, right in the second row in the front. MOMIX Remix was a really nice show. Well done. You can tell that the dancers put their heart in it. The kids enjoyed it thoroughly.
After one of shows we went to this place: http://www.stuffyerface.com/ It was something we have wanted to try ever since watching the Man vs. Food show with the kids. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6otbUX6Or4 It was yummy.

New Brunswick has a lot to do, so be sure to check out other attractions and making a day out of it.

American Museum of Natural History

We made it out to the city to go and see the Museum of Natural History. The older guy loves archeology stuff right now, and the little one is into anything space related. They had a good time there.  Our library offers passes to this museum and many other ones as well.

 

 

The enjoyed the museum, it is always fun, no matter how often we come there.  They also enjoyed feeding the obnoxious city pigeons, and eating the icky hot dog from the hot dog stand. And then the drive through Chinatown. And french fries here:
