The final destination of our vacation was New Jersey.  Our first stop was Paterson, the city where I grew up.  We went to view the Great Falls of the Passaic River.

The next stop was White Castle Burger.  Ryan and Chelsea love them.

The "projects" where I lived in Paterson.

We stayed with my cousins, Jill, Allison, and Ed in the small town of Bloomingdale.  It was a quiet place to unwind after all the hustle and bustle of the city.
