| Stopping off at the Welcome to New Jersey sign after canoeing across the Delaware River with my 50 States 50 Days travel partner Haley. If George Washington had been a welcome sign photographer this is where he would have taken his Welcome to New Jersey picture. My first New Jersey photo was in 1990.
