Hey, Annamill, don't get me wrong. All I said was that I was disappointed by Toms River. the center of town is gorgeous, but overflowing with traffic; and the outskirts of town are filled with tract houses and chain stores, just like California.
I had a delightful time on my New Jersey vacation. I especially liked the towns along Delaware Bay and from Sandy Hook to Perth Amboy, and Sandy Hook south to Sea Girt. My favorite place was Spring Lake, an absolute jewel of a town on the Atlantic Ocean. I spent a whole week in Sea Bright, NJ - and I think I'll do it again next October.
