On a bright and glorious morning I crossed the Delaware. But it was over this bridge not via a boat. Less drama for sure. All at once we left Pennsylvania and found ourselves in Lambertville, New Jersey. This is Jersey? Surely not based on what the “Shore” and certain “Housewives” will tell us, but yes, this is beautiful New Jersey. Lambertville is considered the antique capital of New Jersey and I certainly believe it. The architecture is fabulous. The period details found in dentil ... View the Post
