There are so many happy places in New Jersey, and I wanted to make a list of the 5 happiest in the state.

The Happy Places In New Jersey

The criteria I used to choose my happiest places are simple. I closed my eyes, and I asked myself to think of a happy place, and the first five I thought of made the list.

I hope you do the same exercise when you can, and compare it to the 5 I thought of. Let's see how many we have in common.
