Review: The Monster Who Ate My Peas in SOPAC

Couple of weeks ago we saw the show base on a great book with the same name. A boy becomes friend with a creature who helps him to avoid eating the peas. But it comes at a price. The ageless "deal with the devil" plot is well explained and the proper conclusions are made at the end. The show was delightful. All actors did a great job singing and dancing. The show held everybody's attention for the whole length a little bit under an hour. I wish there were more shows like this in New Jersey.

Colonial Christmas in Jacobus Vanderveer House

Jacobus Vanderveer House was on site of the first American Military Training Academy. It also served as headquarters for General Knox during winter of 1778-79. The house has a great collection of the pieces from colonial times. In December every year the house is decorated for Christmas with trees decorated in the style of colonial times and colonial re-enactors. We were lucky to see women cooking on the fire and men dressed as soldiers of Continental Army.

Great list of interesting places to visit
