Road Island Diner

Awhile back Bear and I took a drive to Oakley to visit the Road Island Diner. 

It's an actual old streamlined art deco diner car that was moved here from Elizabeth, NJ. 

Now you see why we had to visit! It has ties to NJ.

The car is filled with bright colored seats, neon signs, a jukebox,

 and of course the curved aluminum ceiling. The waiter even wore a hat replicating 

the ones that were worn in the 1930's by waiters. 

We had chocolate malts and boy were they tasty (and huge), we should of shared.. 

Everything on their menu looked good, but the breakfast looked especially yummy. 

I think we will be visiting again soon to try out the breakfast. 

Taco Date Night

hello August! I can't believe that you are already here. 

the summer has gone by so quick that I feel like we haven't even had a summer. I guess the stress of moving has taken up a lot of our time. 

we were able to enjoy a little family camping trip this past weekend. Bear got to go fishing, 

we roasted  marshmallows, 

and really enjoyed being around family. 

and last week, Bear took me on a taco date night. the tacos were amazing 

and the company of my hubby was even better. 

Things in Utah have been good. 

There are times when the thought of New Jersey comes into mind 

and I start missing friends, our routine, our favorite restaurants, and local spots.

 However, we still think this move was a good choice. 

and once we get our life squared away, I know we  will enjoy being here even more. 

their trip started with...

One thing that I love about New Jersey is all of the fun old nostalgic diners. The local Skylark Diner is our favorite. I love the brightly colored tiles, retro style lights, and vintage New Jersey posters hanging on the wall.

While my parents were in town we had to introduce them to a true New Jersey diner. So we all headed to this retro style delight that is Skylark. I particularly love that they have freshly squeezed orange juice, and the Eggs Benedict is scrumptious. And my parents, they had mentioned that they wanted to go back, but unfortunately we ran out of time.

Next up, showing them the town of Princeton and the all of the old beautiful buildings that are throughout the University. 

This building reminds us of the Hogwarts Castle in Harry Potter, it has a very magical feeling to it.
