Cincinnati, Ohio Travel Diary


    For many year, my family and I would make an annual trip to Cincinnati in the summers. This is where by father grew up. Because of this, I love going back and seeing small glimpses of what his life was like growing up. 
    The first thing we did when we got to the city was walk around the river side. We saw the Roebling suspension bridge as well as the purple people bridge. The weather was beautiful on our first day in the city, so it was perfect for sight-seeing outdoors. 
    After this, we went into the inner city to explore the many things to see in the area. At this time, we visited the contemporary arts museum. I have a deep love for art, so it was interesting to see this new style of art that I had never really been exposed to previously. 
    At night time, we went back down to the riverside to look at all of the lights on the bridges and the fountains. The city is very beautiful at night time. 

    The next day, we went to the Cincinnati zoo. This was one of my favorite places when I was a child, and I have some of the best memories with my family here. While we were at the zoo, I saw polar bears, which are one of my favorite animals. 
    Later in the evening, we went to a Reds game. My dad is a huge Reds fan (“...unfortunately,” as he would say). It was very hot while the sun was still out, but once the sun set it was a great evening. We lost, but it was still a fun experience. 

Overall, our trip to Cincinnati went great, and I cannot wait to go back soon.

Niagara Falls Travel Diary

Image
    During our trip to Letchworth state park, my parents and I decided that we wanted to take a day trip to Niagara Falls, for it was only about 3 hours from where we were staying.      Though we had been to Niagara Falls before, I was really young the first time, so it was really exciting to go again. When we arrived, it was very hot, and there were a lot of people there. It was a Saturday, so that was to be expected.      The first thing we did when we got there was the Maid of the Mist. This was probably a mistake, because we were soaked when we got off, and we had to walk around for the rest of the day.      This trip was extremely fun, and I cannot wait to go back to the falls someday in the future.

Maine Travel Diary

      A few years ago, my family and I traveled to the New England states for our summer vacation. Though we were traveling to many different states, the main part of our trip was to Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor, Maine.      We spent one full week in Acadia, and I loved every moment of it.      On our first day in Acadia, we drove to the top of Cadillac mountain, and that was the moment when we realized we were in one of the most beautiful places on Earth. We sat on the rocks for over an hour just looking at the landscape that surrounded us.      Within the next few days, we explored many other trails and mountains. My favorite experience on this trip was searching for tide pools. I had wanted to find a tide pool so badly, because I wanted to see starfish. One day, we came across something called anemone cave. It had been taken off the park maps because it was so dangerous, but we looked at the tide charts and we decided to go anyway. When we got down into the cave, it was filled

Savannah, Georgia Travel Diary

    During one of our family trips down South, we decided to make a stop in Savannah, Georgia. This is somewhere that I have always wanted to visit, and I was so excited to finally see it. Although the weather was very hot, it was still such a great experience.      One of the first things we saw in the city was the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). I was very interested in this, because at the time, I was considering going to art school myself. The appeal of this campus was that it was scattered throughout such a beautiful and creative city.      Along with this, we saw the spot where Forest Gump’s bench was located. This movie was filmed in Savannah, and it also happens to be one of my favorite movies of all time.      While I felt that Savannah felt pretty similar to Charleston in a lot of ways, such as the Spanish moss and beautiful historic buildings, it was very different in terms of its water front. Charleston is located on the ocean, while Savannah is located on a rive
