Glance Digitally - Travel the world with me virtually !

 I have started writing my travel articles for this blog since few days again and didn't get time to post it online.  I will probably post regularly from now onwards without any delay.  Dear readers, watch out for new posts on my blog https://sk-digilance.blogspot.com/ Few months ago, I visited Hamilton Viewpoint Park , a popular spot for tourists and locals located in the West Seattle neighborhood that offers panoramic views of the city skyline, Elliott Bay and the Olympic Mountains.  We went towards hillside and stopped at a small parking lot with a grassy area that is great for picnics and saw few benches to sit and enjoy the views. There was also a play area for children and a small shelter that can be reserved for private events. It's an amazing spot for photography, esp the panoramic views of the city which is often used as a backdrop. If you are visiting Seattle, I would highly recommend checking out Hamilton Viewpoint Park for its stunning views of the city and the surr

Illahee Park is a 0.5 mile, 8 acre beautiful trail located @ NE 8th St in Sammamish. Its a round loop around a very small lake/pond, very good for walking and jogging for people who live nearby.  I often go there whenever I feel like taking a small walk where I enjoy observing wild birds and natural beauty.  One side of the trail has a residential neighborhood, two sides with nature filled with trees and last side borders the main street. Ps :  There is a street parking for cars and bikes. This is also a pet friendly trail. Do bring enough water as I didn't see any water fountains on the trail.

My family and I were out during Christmas holidays to visit some local places in Washington and one day we decided to head to Kerry Park because it was a beautiful sunny afternoon. 😊  It is a small park located on the south side of Queen Anne Hill in Seattle. People visit this park for the view of the city of Seattle including the iconic Space Needle which is few minutes walk up from this viewpoint and view of Mount Rainier as the background. Definitely a must see for people visiting Seattle for the first time! We took in the view but chose not to linger much as when we arrived there were many people around 15-20 not crowded but some people had mask on and few didn't, so we had our mask on and practiced social distancing and didn't stay for much longer. Although, the neighborhood is amazing to watch. If you want to stay for much longer and take multiple photos, I suggest arrive as early as possible on a good sunny day.  Ps: If y

During recent 2020 Christmas holidays we have been to few interesting places and one of them is Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park , a public park in Renton, Washington along the shore of Lake Washington.  We went there to view Christmas Lighting on Christmas Eve but due to pandemic there wasn't much decoration to view. This park has everything u want like beach area, play frisbees, volleyball, kids play area, BBQ grills, fly kites, picnic area, walking trails, docks and boat parking. During these Covid-19 pandemic times, it is nice to be able to bring the kids for walking or play around or for swimming with masks on and practice social distance. It has great walking path and places to sit around to watch the beautiful sunset. Cool place to relax and enjoy the view of Mount Rainier on the beach sides.   Although there are some rules here to follow. Posting a photo below for your review. Plenty of free parking spa

 I was going thru my travel photo albums for my blog when I came across an album of Legoland in California.  Although, I have been to Legoland many times since I have a son and loves building Legos till date. I wanted to share some photos and details of our Legoland 2- days trip ( we bought 2-days 3 parks Legoland hopper to Sea Life ticket Fast Pass) when we visited for the first time in 2010 during Christmas. We enjoyed and had such a great time a lot more than I thought we would so we have been frequently visiting Legoland since then. I'd say it's enjoyable for kids up to about age of 12, parents and grandparents. The park is generally packed with so many visitors, which should not have surprised to me as summer and winter holidays are the peak vacation for many families out of school.  Since recent few years on our frequent visit to this theme park , Legoland created an app and we were smart enough to be able to download their app on our phones, which allowed us to check for
