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 with all different kinds of starfish. This was a dream come true. 

    Overall, Maine is by far my favorite state that I have ever traveled to. Of all of the places I have been, Bar Harbor is one of the places that I could definitely see myself living in.

Niagara Falls Travel Diary

    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.

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
