I live in a beautiful area… I’ve been on vacation all this week (and will continue through Labor Day). There is no reason to travel far… I’ve been to…
Allegany State Park
Griffis Sculpture Park
Niagara Falls
… all less than 1/2 a tank round trip from my house…
It is amazing how a few days away from the routine can refresh.
Niagara Falls is nice–I saw it for the first time a couple of years ago.
It looks funny to see The Falls from the other side! I didn’t realize you were so close to the border.
@barefootheart: oh, heck yeah… I’m practically Canadian! (In fact, I was at a conference down south once and a linguist expert guessed I was from Ontario.)
We take all of these places for granted. The Falls are a Wonder of the World, and we think, “Oh, another daytrip.” Nice to see some people still cherish these places.
I think my favorite sculpture is the Mantis. I spent so many great times riding that thing as a kid!
Wow — what amazing places, and all so close. It’s always fun to explore our ‘backyards’, but you sure have one amazing backyard to explore!
Good message — create refreshing trips to take when the need arises — all things in nature are amazing so it should be fairly simple to figure out one nearby — at least that is what I aspire to do after reading your post! — Barbara
