Wilmington, North Carolina



Hey Everyone! 

This week I want to share with you information about the beautiful city of Wilmington, North Carolina! My family and I visited Wilmington a few years ago when we were attending my cousin's wedding. We were very lucky because there was a festival happening on the same day that we were visiting  and it made the experience that much more special. For those who don't already know, Wilmington is a port city located right on the coast and offers a historic downtown with a mile-long Riverwalk as its main tourist attraction. 



Residents of Wilmington are very lucky because they have the benefit of living between Cape Fear River and the ocean. It is also the site of the World War II battleship USS North Carolina (BB-55) and it is now a memorial that is open for public tours . Wilmington has also been home to many television shows and film productions including One Tree Hill, Dawson's Creek, A Walk to Remember, Black Night, Cape Fear, etc. 

As you can tell Wilmington has a lot to offer with its beautiful setting and fascinating tourist attractions so make sure to check it out if you ever get the chance!

San Francisco, California!

                                                               

Hey Everyone! 

How many of you have been to San Francisco, California? I went for the very first time in 2010 and fell in love with the city. I was on a cruise for a week and we made an unexpected stop in San Francisco, we had so much fun! I love it because of the beautiful views it has and all of the things that you can do while you are there. My family and I took the day to walk around Fisherman's Wharf and eat some delicious food! There are so many different restaurants and shops to look at, you won't have enough time to see everything. 


I really wish I was able to take a tour of Alcatraz but we didn't have enough time when we were visiting. I highly suggest that everyone does it because it looks very fun and spooky! San Francisco has so many amazing things to do and they are all worth it! I hope many of you can visit sometime soon because I know I can't wait to go back and visit :)

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina







Have any of you ever been to South Carolina? If not, then you are definitely missing out! My favorite part of South  Carolina is Myrtle Beach, which is right on the coast. My grandmother lives there and I have a blast every time we visit. It is a huge tourist attraction because of the long stretch of beaches and all of the different restaurants and shops.It is a very relaxing vacation spot and has many activities to offer.





One of my favorite restaurants to eat at is called Pier 14 because you can eat right next to the ocean and see all the beautiful sunsets that South Carolina has to offer.

I love Myrtle Beach because it is right on the ocean and there are many things you can do, whether it is swimming, running, or just relaxing and reading a book. I suggest that everyone visits Myrtle Beach because it will make you want to come back every year!

New York City

Hey Everyone! 


The destination I will talk about this week is a very special one for me. New York City is one of my favorite places to visit and I hope to eventually live there one day. I started visiting this city when my sister was in college in New York and we would visit every time we went to see her. There is something about New York that makes you try things you never thought you would try. All the sounds, smells, lights, people, images are so refreshing and exciting to be around and I think that is the main reason why I love it so much. 


There are so many things to do there that you can never be bored. A few of my favorite activities include seeing the Empire State Building, seeing the Statue of Liberty, and eating some good NYC food. It truly is a jungle and a fun one at that. It can come off as scary because it is so large but after a while you get used to the size and it becomes even more exciting. I really hope many of you have already visited this wonderful city or will plan to soon because you are really missing out!

Arizona

Hey Guys! Sorry for being a little late with the posts but I just got back from New Orleans, Louisiana last week  and I've still been catching up:)

This week I wanted to talk about traveling to Arizona! My older sister recently moved there and I have visited numerous times since then. I love how opposite it is from New England and how beautiful it is! My favorite part is when you are driving and can see across the whole state because everything is so flat and there are no trees in your way. The sunsets are always very pretty and mountains in the background make things extra special. Even the mood out there is very calm and relaxing.

One of my favorite things to do in Arizona is horseback riding through the desert. I make my sister go with me every time and it never gets old.
This is a sunset in Arizona and most of them are like this. Can you imagine seeing this almost every night? This is just one reason why you guys should go visit at least once in your life, you will not regret it!

New Orleans, Louisiana


Hey Guys! The first destination I wanted to share with you is New Orleans, Louisiana or also known as "Nawlins". It is one of the top ten most visited cities in the United States and has many attractions including the French Quarter, Bourbon Street, St. Charles Avenue, and Magazine Street. I have visited twice already and will be visiting again in a few short weeks. I absolutely love this city because of its beautiful buildings, delicious food, and energetic lifestyle. The city is well known for its cross cultural and multilingual heritage and also as the birthplace of Jazz..I  love visiting the French Quarter because it very scenic and has many attractions. I usually visit in March and there are many festivals and activities going on daily. Everyday is a celebration and in New Orleans and the people are some of the nicest I have met while traveling. I highly recommend you to visit this wonderful city and I promise you will not regret it!
