Why People Love to Visit New Jersey

Isn't it funny?

It never fails.  Whenever I'm traveling and meet someone new, the conversation eventually turns to, "Where are you from?"

Do you notice the look on the person's face when they hear you are from New Jersey?

This is especially true down south.

Sometimes they tilt their head, squint their eyes, and look you over.

Then they may ask, "So what's the story with Snooki?"

Or, "Do you know "Bruce?"

Others will take the moment to show off their comedic skills,

Why should you never buy golf equipment made in New Jersey?… Because New Jersey drivers are terrible.

They can laugh all they want.  But people keep coming to visit New Jersey.

According to a new report on Stacker, NJ is the 11th most visited state in the country.

Florida tops the list of the most visited states.  61% of adults surveyed say they have visited Florida.

It's hard to argue against visiting Florida.  I mean, in between rain storms each day, there's plenty to do.

True, their mosquitoes draw more blood in an evening than the Red Cross in a year, but still, they have plenty of good hiking- as long as you're careful not to run into alligators or snakes.

Nearly 40% of the adults who participated in the survey say they've visited New Jersey.
