The warm weather is here. We’ve had more sun this spring than I can recall in recently memory. It’s gorgeous, with cool breezes and minimal rain. And the tourists really haven’t started getting out yet. All this makes for an ideal opportunity for those of us who stick around all year to get out there and enjoy what our fine state has to offer before it gets too crowded.

When I’m doing a stay-cation I like to stay within a two-hour drive from my home base. So it worked out great when I had an interview in Camden last week. As many of you know, Camden is a tourist Mecca. And for good reason - but since it’s still a couple weeks before Memorial Day weekend, the flood of tourists hasn’t taken over yet. This meant I could follow Route 1 and 3 all the way back to my neighborhood, looking at the towns with a tourist’s appreciation, but without bad traffic.
