I love summer. It is my favorite season because I can stay outside the house without my body shaking. There are many interesting activities in summer.
We were
on a road trip from home in Delaware to home in North Dakota. It was my first road trip in the USA and also
my first summer in North Dakota. Of course I loved it without snow.
We spent 14 days on the trip. I had a chance to
visit a friend in Nebraska and stayed one night with her.
We also went to
the Omaha zoo, it was awesome. After we left my friend we did not go direct
ly home to North Dakota yet. As my
desire and aim on this trip
was to see Mt.
Rushmore so we went direct
ly to Key
-stone, South Dakota . Darin planned it for me. Yeah! my dream came through.
I saw
the real
Mt. Rushmore. We spent one more night around there because we still wanted to go to other places such as
to ride the helicopter around Mt.
Rushmore, went to
Rushmore cave,
reptile garden where I impressed to see giant turtles. The Reptile garden had
a crocodile show too
that made me think about
the crocodile farm in my home country. I said to Darin if these tourist see the crocodiles show in Thailand they will love it a lot because
it's more fun and more excit
ing than here. From the garden we went to
bear country just
a few minutes from Reptile garden . I liked this place because we can see wild animals close; such as bears,wolves,goats,lions...etc by
driving the car around. I thought the zoo in Thailand
,name
d"Safari"
,was the same kind
as here but I have never been yet. There were school for bear babies in the park seperated. When I saw them I thought they were not bears. We also went to
Crazy horse and
Devils tower.
In North Dakota, Darin took me to
Theodore National Park. At first I thought everyone paid the fee just for pass
ing on the road but I realized after awhile it was
actually we paid the fee. The park was huge.I saw many hiking trials in the park. If we have chances to hike there I am sure it
would be really fun more than the trails we went
on in Delaware. Darin drove to
Bowman Dam and looked around for his aunt. I knew there were many beautiful places in North Dakota I did not see yet. We also visited a couple
of Thai friends on our way back to Delaware , one friend in Wisconsin and
another one in Pitsburg .
We went to
the sky deck in Chicago.It was the last place before we got home.
At home in Delaware we went hiking almost every weekend
on most of the trials in
White Clay Creek State Park. We went to other parks too such as
Lums Pond State Park with a big pond. I thought , next summer I will go back to Lums Pond park and rent a boat. We went to
Brandywine Creek State Park. It was a nice park too but did not impress me. I also spent sometimes by myself
, went to
Augustin beach and
Brandywine Park to
take the pictures of me. Did you wonder how I do that? I have a tri-pod. He is the best photographer...haha.
Summer is over soon then I am preparing to meet
the cold again. Ewww!
