Washington State

-

     Blog #6 woohoo!! In case you haven't read the introduction post, I have been to 37/50 US States. I will start with the West Coast and make our way to the East Coast minus Alaska and Hawaii. The things to do, where to eat, show some pictures and just talk about my experience while in that state. Todays post is all about Washington State!

    One of the things that you should definitely add to your list of adventures is Bainbridge Island. In order to access Bainbridge, you need to take a 45 minute or so ferry ride. It will cost about $7.70 for an adult passenger, but keep in mind, I was there September of 2013, so the prices and whatnot could have changed. While on this cute island, I suggest you visit Doc's Marina Grill for either lunch or dinner. My family went there for dinner and a rememberable experience. The people there are friendly, the restaurant is right on the harbor, I am unsure if they still do this now, but back in 2013 they provided blankets for those sitting outside so they would be comfortable. I would defiantly go back. I don't remember what else I did while there, but consider walking/exploring the island, maybe even make a day trip out of it :)

    If taking boats out on the open water scares you, consider exploring Seattle, WA itself. Visit Pikes Market Place where a scene from the 1993 movie, Sleepless in Seattle was filmed. Maybe you even take that as an opportunity to shop at the market. Or, maybe you take an elevator to the top of the Space Needle for $12.00 (youth ticket). If seeing the city from the top of this monument, take a trip on the Seattle Center Monorail for only $2.00 (youth ticket) and see the city from a different perspective. 

    I personally did not like the Space Needle, but only because I have done the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri twice. That ride, and experience is more memorial to me than an elevator straight up. Don't let me shut you down though. If the Space Needle is something that you intend to do, by all means don't let me keep you.

    One thing that I forgot to mention about Bainbridge Island is, bring a rain jacket and umbrella! That was one mistake that my family made. The locals in Seattle, told us that it like never rained there, so we left our umbrellas in the car. That was a bad decision though, it down poured on us, so we were glad we at lest had our rain jackets on. \

    Hope this post was insightful. Below are some photos and descriptions of those photos.  As always, feel free to comment or send me a DM.

     For those of you who are new, welcome! There was no new blog post last week because I was working on changing the name of this blog and the conjoining Instagram account. Since I will no longer be in high school after this spring, and I was in the process of designing t-shirts, and I thought that now would be a good time. So instead of @high._.school._.traveler the new name is @adventures.with.liberty. Thank you for those of you who voted on Instagram, you helped me out! Now on to blog #7!     Unlike the Washington post, this will be shorter. I loved Oregon more than Seattle, even if there wasn't quite as much to do. Just to give you an overview of this post, I'll talk about the aquarium, Main Street, and the hotel that I will stay at next time I make a trip out that way!     Who doesn't love the aquarium?! The Oregon Coast Aquarium is located in Newport. This was definitely one of the most fun activities I did. Obviously the prices can be high, bu...

     Hi ya! I've been wanting to do a blog for a while now, but never found the time to make it work until now. A little bit about me, I am a high school senior, roundtripped to 37/50 US states (yes by car) with my family, I spent two-weeks in India I'll explain more about the trip and organization at a later time, I plan on spending a semester abroad in Ukraine with a different organization I expand on this a little more and why I decided to spend time there. I am a HUGE Disney fan! You name it, and I have probably seen it and/or listened to the sound track for it. I love movie watching, listening to music, going for drives with the windows down and music blasting throw the stereos.           For those of you out there, who want to know the weird facts here you go! Toothbrush color is purple, I'm left handed, I love drinking pickle juice, my breakfast in Elementary school consisted of mayonnaise on a slice of toast. Yes, you heard that ...

Disneyland & California Adventure

    Like I said in the last post, week #9 will be all about Disneyland. This was a one week trip taken at the end of April in 2018. I have never been to Disneyland before this, but I still had a magical time! So, here we go!!     Little did I know that my sisters and I wouldn't be alone. My parents coordinated this trip with two aunts and uncles, so instead of there being seven of us, there were 17 of us. More the merrier right?! This trip still would've been fun if it was just my immediate family, but having extended family tag along, made this trip that much better.      To start off, we spent two days in Disneyland, that also included California Adventure. This was possible because we had a two-day park hopper, which allowed to go back and forth between Disneyland and California Adventure. I don't have my travel journal with me, because I am currently at work, so I will try to do this to the best of my ability with the knowledge that remains inside ...
