and a great tour (thank you, Will).\u00a0 If you ever find yourself in Princeton, this place is definitely worth a visit.\u00a0 Better yet, plan a visit when the <a href=\"https:\/\/pbs1777.org\/\">Princeton Battlefield Society<\/a> is giving one of their tours. \u00a0 You&#8217;ll love it.\u00a0 You might want to have breakfast at PJ&#8217;s in Princeton on the morning of the tour.\u00a0 It&#8217;s the best breakfast in town and it&#8217;s the place we all hit when we played hooky back in high school.<\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly, there are many great places to ride in New Jersey.\u00a0 A great weekend might include a ride along the Delaware River with stops at Washington&#8217;s Crossing and New Hope, Pennsylvania, followed by a Sunday Princeton Battlefield Site tour.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Want to learn about more great Destinations?\u00a0 Check out some of <a href=\"http:\/\/exhaustnotes.us\/BerksWorks.html\">our stories<\/a> in <em>Motorcycle
