The past few days in the Garden State have been miserable due to the non stop rain. The drive to work takes a little longer because you have to be more cautious on the roads. Baseball games are getting postponed so now you’re stuck with nothing to watch. You can’t even go outside to enjoy the cool breeze and feel the seasons changing. Plus, With winter right around the corner we all know that snow is going to keep us trapped inside as well. So lets face it, rain and snow can really just ruin any chance of having fun unless you know where to go.
