Sometimes we all need to just get away from it all. I can tell you that I have been completely overwhelmed the last couple of months. Aside from adjusting to our new normal upon receiving our younger son's Epilepsy diagnosis, school recently ended here in New York City and this teacher needed a break! Unfortunately, due to my husband's work schedule, it is not always possible to book an extended vacation so we often book a family staycation here and there just to maintain our sanities. When I found out that Crystal Springs Resort is located in the Northeast and offers a unique vacation experience with luxurious amenities that are unavailable elsewhere locally, I knew we had to go there for our little getaway!

Last year, my family and I had the pleasure of attending Monster Jam at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. It was, without a doubt, one of the most enjoyable events that we have ever attended as a family. Between the sounds of the Monster Trucks and the excitement of the audience, we had a blast! That is why we are so excited that Monster Jam is returning to the New York Tri-state area in the coming weeks at the IZOD Center in NJ. The event will feature some of the most powerful monster trucks in the circuit, including the legendary Grave Digger, Shockwave, El Toro Loco, Son UVA Digger, Team Hot Wheels Firestorm, Bounty Hunter, Scarlet Bandit and Thrasher.
