Glance Digitally - Travel the world with me virtually !

Many years ago during a family trip to Florida, we took our space-loving teenager to explore NASA's Kennedy Space Center. My kid had been dreaming of this moment for years devouring books on physics since elementary and eagerly following every NASA website. Seeing the eyes light up as we approached the entrance, I knew this day would be special. I still remember the excitement the moment we walked through the gates and were greeted by the iconic Rocket Garden. I watched my teenager with eyes wide with awe as he stood among these towering giants of space exploration. He eagerly pointed out the various rockets, rattling off facts and stories he had learned over the years. As a parent, it was incredible to witness his passion come alive.  Next, we made our way to the Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit. His excitement was contagious as he navigated the interactive displays explaining to us the intricacies of the shuttle's design. In that moment, I felt a swell of pride knowing that his

As you may know, I enjoy taking time to browse through my photo albums to relive the memories of my past travels. Recently, I came across pictures from my trip to Hershey's Chocolate World of Pennsylvania in 2018, and it was truly a remarkable experience. The trip was filled with excitement and wonder as I explored the world of chocolate and indulged in delicious treats.  Wow & wow! This store is like a dream come true for me! The place is enormous and filled with all kinds of Hershey's candies. They also have 3-D movie and historical Trolley ride which is a must-see. The selection is immense and the atmosphere inside is joyous, colorful, and fun. As soon as I walked in, I started smiling because I love Chocolates, I was so impressed with its history too. The prices for rides or candies were good. As i said before, we can experience all the rides for fun, and the best part is that we will get sample chocolate on all the rides as a compliment.  The "Make Your Own Choco

It's November and today we had the first snow ❄❄ of the season which is quite early compared to previous years. Snow in November is rare at least in our city.  But I am not complaining 😃, I've been waiting for snow fall and today I'm very excited and thought to take some photos and videos before writing this article for all my readers who have been waiting for my blog posts. I know, I know I've been busy recently so haven't updated but surely will make it up to all my readers by posting many of my travel articles in next 3 months. So, stay tuned !!

  We recently travelled to Canada for a week on a road trip. I will certainly write about each and every place I visited in this blog whenever I get time. So, do subscribe and check it out !!! We came across this dramatic 67-foot concrete white arch rises from the gardens on the U.S.-Canada border (US Interstate 5 - CAN Highway 99)  between Blaine in Washington state and Surrey in British Columbia known as International Peace Arch, an iconic monument devoted to peace and serenity was constructed in the honor to the centennial of the treaties resulting from the War of 1812.  Unfortunately the park was closed when we visited. I think COVID-19 triggered the closure of the park temporarily. But we came out of our car to snap some photos of the Arch. Worthy stop to see the Arch and a reminder that peace is possible. This area is the only place on the border where people can cross from either country to share the same space and be together but strictly under the surve

 As you all know for now if you have read my previous travel articles in this blog that whenever I have time, I often go thru my family albums and recollect the good old memories and start writing in my blog for you all to have great experience whenever you visit these places.....😉😉 I remember someone in my friends' group suggested visiting the California State Railroad Museum @ Sacramento , and it had been many years since I'd visited this museum, but my my this turned out to be one highlight for my kid who loved all kinds of trains. If you are visiting Sacramento, you really need to experience the museum atleast once, as well as the surrounding attractions. It's a self-guided tour for 3-4 hours I guess depending on your interest and enjoy strolling along taking amazing photos of these trains. It was a great museum experience. I remember my kid was so excited and happy with all the trains and hands-on exhibitions. The marvelous displays of remarka

  Two weeks ago, we went to Leavenworth in Washington State and believe me I have two words to describe this paradise on Earth (at least to me ). 🤍💙 Picturesque perfect !!!!😍 This beautiful Bavarian charm style village @ Washington is quite similar to Bavaria in Germany which I heard is the most popular travel destinations with a mix of natural scenery, sensational authentic flavored restaurants and distinctive German culture.   Leavenworth is 2.5 hrs. drive from Seattle, You can take freeway I-90 or US-2 to reach this magical town with a view surrounded by Alps-looking cascade mountains 🏔 and alpine lakes . It's winter wonderland with a plenty of winter activities to enjoy for both adults and kids⛄🏂. Its been a top tourist destination in the Pacific Northwest . Of course Leavenworth is beautiful in all seasons perfect tourist destination with many events and festivals celebrated almost every month like Bavarian Ice festival, Spring festiv

As you all know by now that whenever I'm idle or free, I go thru my travel photo albums for my blog to write some interesting travel experiences. So, I came across an album of Universal Studios at Orlando when we visited Florida. As I wrote in my previous article, we had a 10 days vacation @ Florida when we visited during Christmas 7 years ago.  Please visit the link for more details about our  10 days vacation @ Florida     https://sk-digilance.blogspot.com/2021/11/the-sunshine-state-florida.html So I will be writing more about my Florida Travels in my upcoming posts. So, please watch out for new posts in my Blog.  Living in pacific coast for almost 2 decades, I have been visiting Universal Studios in California for years and it is always plenty of fun! But when we went to  Universal Studios @   Florida for the first time, it was an incredibly memorable experience and definitely worth the money we spend. And mind you, taking 10 days vacation with whole fa

We visited many places in US including Theme parks, beaches, lakes, waterfalls, mountain ranges, valleys and some unique places which were definitely worth seeing at least once.  Was going thru my photo album and came across our 10 days vacation @ Florida when we visited 7 years ago during Christmas holidays and I believe Florida is one the best place to visit although do not underestimate the Florida's high temperatures and the humidity throughout the year. The weather forecast would always be warm even during winter. Since we had 10 days vacation, we first landed in Orlando airport and we picked the following places/ itinerary on a road trip till east coast of Florida including many stops at various beaches, a day trip to Kennedy Space Center and few more detailed below.  I am still working on writing about each place in detail and will upload the article in the blog whenever possible . So, watch out for my latest updates regularly!!!😎 Orlando: • Universal Studio

Everywhere I look, I can see the visible changes in nature as it prepares for Fall/ Autumn season, temperatures are getting cooler and breezy, leaves changing into rust-colors and strewn all over on roads and highways.  For me this is the most incredible time of the year apart from Spring with vibrant hues of yellow, orange, red and brown. "Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower." - ALBERT CAMUS As most of us know, on September 21st each year, we embrace the fall season with the arrival of the fall equinox (also known as the autumnal equinox ). Born and growing up in a cosmopolitan city in India, I hardly saw any greenery around my house so, I did miss the beauty of the nature during the seasonal changes. But, now living in US almost two decades, made me see and enjoy the nature near my home or during my travels particularly beautiful and colorful flowers blooming in Spring from March to May, Fall/autumnal leaf color changing to vibrant

Los Angeles has been my go-to place past 15 years. Whenever we had a long weekend and did not have a plan to travel other states or countries, we would road trip to LA ( since it was few hours drive). Among many places in LA like Disneyland, Universal studios, Warner's Brothers studio and many more Landmarks, Hollywood Boulevard is one of my favorite downtown spot I often go every time I visit LA. Its a 4-5 miles long stretch in Los Angeles starting from Highland Avenue to Orange Drive with the following attraction -  Museums like - Madame Tussauds Hollywood Wax Museum featuring replicas of famous celebrities. ( will upload the link here once I finish writing the article) Landmarks like - TCL Chinese Theatre formerly known as the Grauman's Chinese Theatre ( the exterior is designed in the Chinese Style) Dolby Theatre formerly known as the Kodak Theatre Hollywood Pacific Theatre Grauman's Egyptian Theatre ( the exterior of the theater
