#springtravel The Manor House Terraces "The Manor House sits 150 feet above the valley floor, and the walk up through the seven levels of terraced gardens is a workout but worth it. In 2026, the 'Rose Arbor' was just starting to show its first pink 'New Dawn' roses. From the top, you get a panoramic view of the North Georgia Mountains. It’s the most 'European' part of the estate—very grand and formal."

Enjoy a family long weekend trip to the coastal town of Mendocino, California! Experience the stunning azure coast and mint-colored sea, take the kids to explore the unique coastline, visit gardens and lighthouses, and easily enjoy the seaside charm~ Mendocino boasts a distinctive coastal landscape with its deep blue ocean, mint-colored waters, dramatic cliffs, beautiful seaside gardens, and iconic lighthouse. Spend a relaxing long weekend here with your kids, strolling, eating, sightseeing, feeling the sea breeze, and experiencing California’s coastal romance. The itinerary is easygoing and perfectly paced for children. 📍Must-visit family-friendly spots 1 Point Mendocino Trail A hidden gem trail leading to a natural stone arch by the sea. The trailhead is right at the parking lot, making parking convenient. The arch is on the right after parking. The trail is short and easy, perfect for kids to handle. The coastline here is very special: at noon, the sky and sea are a vivid blue, and near sunset, the light softens and the sea turns mint green. Rolling waves crash against the cliffs, creating a spectacular view! Kids will love watching the sea here and might even spot seals, which makes them super happy. However, the coastal wind can be strong and there’s no shade, so be sure to bring windbreakers and sun protection for the kids. 2 Mendocino Coast Botanical Garden Address: 18220 CA-1, Fort Bragg. This stunning seaside garden is best visited from April to June when most of the rhododendrons bloom. The rhododendron festival is held in June, with hillsides covered in beautiful flowers that kids adore. The garden starts with small plants near the entrance, then you’ll see clusters of rhododendrons in the trees, and further ahead is the sea with unique coastal views. The garden is very large, perfect for spending half a day with kids enjoying flowers and the ocean—super relaxing. 3 Heritage House Resort & Spa A serendipitous treasure spot for ocean views, famous for its mint-colored sea! There’s a small white pavilion in the distance where you can watch mint-green waves crash against the rocks. The breathtaking scenery is hard to describe. There’s a lawn by the sea where kids can run and play, releasing energy—ideal for family photo ops and check-ins. 4 Point Cabrillo Lighthouse Museum Mendocino’s iconic lighthouse with a red roof, lush green lawn, and bright blue sky—a classic red, blue, and green color combo that’s stunning. Touring the lighthouse with kids is fun; inside is a small museum with exhibits about the ocean and lighthouses. You can explain the lighthouse’s purpose to the kids, helping them learn something new. There’s also a gift shop with souvenirs, perfect for picking out a small gift for the kids. 5 Glass Beach Located a bit further north in Fort Bragg, this beach features colorful glass pieces polished smooth by the waves. Kids can dig through the sand to find these colorful glass treasures, like a fun treasure hunt that can keep them entertained for hours. The beach is small but offers a fantastic experience. The colorful glass pieces found can be taken home as souvenirs. 🍴Family-friendly dining recommendations Ledford House: Stop here for a meal on your way back. It offers beautiful views of the distant blue sea. This French restaurant serves exquisite dishes and has a kids’ menu with steak, pasta, and desserts that children love. The service is great, making it perfect for family dining. 💡Family travel tips 1 The coastal wind can be strong, so bring windproof jackets and hats for the kids to protect against the wind; UV rays are strong by the sea, so pack sunscreen and sun hats for sun protection. 2 Wear comfortable sneakers when walking the trails. Some sections have rocks, so be cautious and keep kids away from cliff edges. 3 Bring plenty of drinking water and snacks. Walking in the garden and on trails can be tiring, so having food and drinks on hand helps keep kids energized. 4 For a long weekend trip, 2-3 days is recommended. No need to rush—visit 1-2 attractions per day, focusing on a relaxed pace. Enjoy watching the sea, strolling gardens, and hunting for colorful glass with the kids for a super happy experience.

This time, I took the kids to Vegas and finally included Antelope Canyon in the itinerary! The 10-hour round trip was really tough, but experiencing the charm of nature with the kids made it all worth it, and of course, you have to get great photos! Here are some very important family tips that I hope will help sisters avoid any traps: 1️⃣ Make sure the kids wear proper walking shoes! Absolutely! The park is full of red sand and uneven paths, so kids must wear non-slip sneakers. Avoid flip-flops or sandals to prevent slipping and blisters. 2️⃣ Antelope Canyon can only be visited with a local guide. If you’re with kids, it’s recommended to tip $5-$10 before the tour. Each group has about a dozen people waiting to enter, and you can’t fall behind. We didn’t tip, and the guide kept rushing us, so we barely had time to take photos, and the kids got anxious. Later we learned that tipping slows the guide down and they help find good photo spots, making the experience better with kids. 3️⃣ Antelope Canyon has top lighting, so front-facing photos aren’t ideal most of the time. Try having the kids look up or take parent-child photos from behind. The easiest trick is to have the kids wear sunglasses for better shots. The canyon is narrow, so it’s best to walk at the front or back of the group to avoid crowds and make it easier to take photos and rest with kids. 4️⃣ Family outfit tips: Black, white, or brown colors look best in photos. Parents and kids can coordinate with matching colors for more harmonious family pictures. 5️⃣ Actually, photos inside Antelope Canyon are all pretty similar. The wide-open area outside is much more spacious and there’s no guide rushing you, so you can comfortably take family photos and let the kids run and play freely. 6️⃣ Don’t forget sun protection! The park is very hot, so fully protect the kids with sun-protective clothing, hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen to avoid sunburn. 7️⃣ There are no clean restrooms inside the park, only pit toilets. You can change clothes and freshen up at a clean restroom the guide takes you to beforehand. Bring wet wipes and tissues to keep the kids clean. 8️⃣ Bring enough drinking water and light snacks for the kids. Supplies inside the park are scarce and expensive, so avoid hunger and thirst. 9️⃣ Pack common medicines and band-aids for the kids to handle emergencies like falls or scrapes. Regarding group tours, I did a lot of research because I didn’t want to be packed on a big bus. After reading many posts and checking foreign platforms, 50-person Antelope Canyon tours cost about $200 round trip from Vegas; 14-person business buses are around $250, with fixed hotel pickups—no door-to-door service, and extra fees or early pickups if you’re not at the designated hotels. This time, I found a private small group tour with a business car for up to 5 people at $259. They pick up from all central Vegas hotels and picked us up at 6 AM, saving a lot of time compared to regular tours. The guide was a kind Chinese lady, the car was clean, and they even provided umbrellas, ice water, iced cola, and sunscreen. The kids slept both ways—super comfortable. I really want to recommend it; it’s so good it feels like a secret, but no lies here~ The only regret is there’s no two-day tour option. Otherwise, we could have stayed overnight in Page town and had time to check out the Jennie-style Powell Lake boat tour for a richer experience with the kids. A couple traveling with us didn’t want to go, so we missed out—so regretful~ Next post will be about Horseshoe Bend! It’s insanely photogenic. You can skip Antelope Canyon, but Horseshoe Bend is definitely worth taking the kids to~

Standing under the cherry blossom tree in uniform for the last time. Wearing camouflage and counting over 1,000 sunsets, this time I can finally see the finish line. Counting the days until retirement, the rain we got caught in together, the sleepless nights, the officers we scolded... all have become memories that make me smile. Just like this cherry blossom tree, it should fall when it blooms the fullest. Some things, like camouflage green, will forever be dyed into my life. This is Tacoma Community College, completely empty. You can find angles to take really good photos. The University of Washington is just too crowded; I’ve taken photos there before, and it feels like the flowers there are getting whiter. Photos 2-3 are from Wapato Park; just look for the basketball court and you’ll see many cherry blossom trees.

California’s Mendocino seaside town is perfect for a family long weekend getaway! The blue coast meets the Mint Sea, with unique coastal scenery. Take the kids to visit gardens, see lighthouses, hunt for colorful glass, and explore this lesser-known California coastal gem~ Mendocino doesn’t have the crowds of popular beach cities; it’s quiet and niche, with one-of-a-kind coastal views. The seawater changes color with the light, showing shades of blue and mint. Cliffs, stone arches, lighthouses, gardens—each spot is stunningly beautiful. Bring the kids here to escape city noise, enjoy the sea breeze, and have a relaxing and joyful family long weekend. 📍 Family-Friendly Fun Spots 1 Point Mendocino Trail Take the kids to see the seaside stone arch. The trailhead has a parking lot, making parking easy. The trail is gentle and easy, suitable even for young children. Walk along the trail to enjoy the sea views—the deep blue ocean at noon and the mint-colored sea at sunset are breathtaking. You might even spot seals and seabirds, which kids love. It’s a great chance for kids to get close to marine life and learn. Note: The coastal wind is strong and there’s no shade, so protect the kids from wind and sun, and keep them away from the cliff edges. 2 Mendocino Coast Botanical Garden A stunning garden by the sea, with rhododendrons blooming from April to June, covering the hillsides in vibrant colors. Walk with the kids through the garden, learn about different plants, and teach them about rhododendrons to expand their knowledge. The garden’s far end leads directly to the coast, so you can enjoy both the garden and the sea in one trip. The garden has rest and picnic areas—bring a picnic blanket and enjoy a comfortable family picnic with the kids. 3 Point Cabrillo Lighthouse Museum The iconic red-roofed lighthouse is beautiful. Visit the lighthouse museum with the kids to see historical exhibits and marine specimens, and explain the lighthouse’s role in navigation in a way kids can easily understand. Outside, there’s a large lawn where kids can run, jump, and fly kites to burn off energy. Take family photos on the lawn with the lighthouse and ocean as a stunning backdrop. 4 Glass Beach Start a “treasure hunt” with the kids here by digging in the sand to find colorful glass pieces polished smooth by the waves. Kids love this activity and get excited with every find. The colorful glass pieces are small and delicate, perfect to take home as souvenirs. The sand is fine, so kids can also play and build sandcastles on the beach, which is super fun. Be sure to watch that kids don’t put the glass in their mouths. 5 Heritage House Resort & Spa The best viewpoint of the Mint Sea, with a white gazebo set against the mint-colored ocean—absolutely beautiful. Sit with the kids in the gazebo to watch the sea and feel the breeze, perfect for family photos with a great atmosphere. There are rocks by the shore where kids can look for little crabs and shells, sparking their curiosity. 🍴 Family Dining Highlights Ledford House: French cuisine with ocean views and an amazing vista of the blue sea. They offer a special kids’ menu with pasta, roast chicken, and ice cream—favorites for children. The dishes are exquisite and tasty, with attentive service, making it ideal for family dining. The town also has various American snacks like burgers, fries, and hot dogs, which kids love and are great for casual bites. 💡 Family Long Weekend Travel Tips 1 Transportation: Self-driving is recommended. The town’s attractions are moderately spaced, making driving convenient and hassle-free with kids. Free parking is available at both attractions and in town, making parking very easy. 2 Clothing: The coastal area has big temperature differences between morning and evening, and strong sea winds. Bring windbreakers, light sweaters, and hats for the kids, adjusting layers as needed. Wear comfortable sneakers for easier walking on trails and beaches. 3 Essentials: Pack sunscreen, sun hats, sunglasses, and insect repellent since UV rays are strong by the sea. Bring drinking water, snacks, and fruit to keep kids refreshed while exploring. Also bring small shovels and buckets for kids to play and hunt for treasures at Glass Beach. 4 Timing: Plan 2-3 days, visiting 1-2 attractions per day without rushing. Focus on relaxed family time—watching the sea, strolling gardens, and treasure hunting for a super fun experience.

#springtravel Cherry Blossom Festival (Late March) "The cherry blossoms started around the third week of March this year. The 'Prunus' walk was a tunnel of white and pale pink. It’s a much more 'ephemeral' experience than the daffodils—the petals only last about ten days. Catching the 'Sakura Fubuki' (cherry blossom blizzard) over the ponds was a 2026 highlight. It’s less crowded than the DC Tidal Basin but just as beautiful, with the added bonus of the Georgia mountain backdrop."

Always kept on my dream list✔️ This time, I finally stayed at one of my most wanted Airbnbs with friends: La Cave ~ The Cave Pool House + Spa by Casa Cabin I really love it!

Every shot looks amazing. 🚗 Travel tips & reminders It’s best to drive a 4WD vehicle, as the last stretch is a dirt road🤣 Remember not to wash your car before coming because it will quickly get dusty XD There are no convenience stores nearby, so it’s recommended to buy groceries in Los Angeles or Palm Springs in advance

#mytripvlog When people take a road trip, traveling between Los Angeles and Las Vegas along Interstate 15, the colorful installation art will catch travelers' eyes when passing through desert landscapes. About 10 miles south of Las Vegas, the Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone decided on the location to present his large-scale public art to brighten the Mojave desert day and night.

#falladventures The open road stretches out like a ribbon, unspooling into a tunnel of light and color. Flanking the pavement, massive oak and maple trees have shed their summer robes for the splendor of autumn's gold and scarlet. Driving this stretch feels like passing through a kaleidoscope, where every bend reveals a new, intensified wash of color. The asphalt is flecked with sun-dried leaves, crunching beneath the tires, a satisfying counterpoint to the hum of the engine. This is the ultimate autumn drive, a journey for the soul as much as the car, urging you onward toward a cozy, welcoming destination, perhaps a quiet cabin or a familiar hearth. • #autumndrive • #fallroadtrip • #goldentunnel • #leafpeeping • #roadsidebeauty • #openroad • #driveinfall

Let me say this without exaggeration... This place is not just an amusement park; it’s a whole new world—a world filled with imagination, laughter, and tangible happiness 🥹💖 🚪 The moment you step in… Disney music fills the air, the scent of treats wafts by, accompanied by a gentle breeze and warm sunlight. It feels like the outside world disappears, and you’re fully immersed in a Disney movie 🎬 🏰 Seeing Sleeping Beauty’s Castle for the first time: I didn’t cry… but my eyes got teary 😭. It’s like stepping into the scenes I used to watch as a child, but now I’m actually walking into them. 🎢 Top 3 rides to recommend: 1. Indiana Jones Adventure – It feels like you’re dodging traps in the movie. So thrilling! 2. Haunted Mansion – Spooky but adorable! Disney ghosts aren’t scary, but the design is so stunning it gives you chills. 3.

No one will think you’re crazy if you get excited about princesses or dance to the music in the streets. Because everyone at Disneyland… comes to "believe in something beautiful" together 💫

It’s a place that makes you proud of Georgia’s natural beauty. 10/10—plan to spend the whole day."

If spring comes to Seattle, be sure to dedicate a day to the University of Washington (UW). The cherry blossoms here are not just "beautiful," but the kind that quietly calm you down as soon as you step in. Spring in Seattle always arrives with restraint. Overcast skies, a gentle breeze, occasional rays of sunshine, and the cherry blossoms quietly bloom all over the campus in this understated weather. The must-visit spot is UW’s most iconic Quad lawn. It is surrounded by a circle of century-old Yoshino cherry trees, which reach their peak bloom for just a short one to two weeks each year. When the flowers bloom, the entire sky turns a soft pink and white, and when the wind blows, it feels like cherry blossom rain. 📍Best Viewing Time Usually from mid to late March to early April, with slight variations each year. It’s recommended to check the real-time bloom status before you go. This year, March 20th marked the peak bloom. 👉 Tips: To capture photos with "fewer people + good lighting," try to arrive before 8 AM or about an hour before sunset. Midday tends to be very crowded, basically a sea of people. 📸 Photo Spot Recommendations (Tested and Proven) ✔ Lawn Central Axis: Stand in the center and shoot to both sides; the cherry blossoms form an arch, creating a very atmospheric scene. ✔ Teaching Building Archway Corridor: View the cherry blossoms through the old architecture for a cinematic feel. ✔ Upward Shot of Cherry Blossoms: Lie on the grass and shoot upward for a clean and romantic background. ✔ Cherry Blossoms + Portraits: It’s recommended to wear light or solid colors (white, beige, light blue) for a cleaner look. 🚶‍♀️ Convenient Route (No Backtracking) 👉 Quad (Cherry Blossom Core Area) → Suzzallo Library (Harry Potter-style library atmosphere) → Red Square → University of Washington Dock (pleasant lakeside walk) This route covers the essence of UW and takes about 2–3 hours, just right. ☕️ Useful Cherry Blossom Viewing Tips 1️⃣ Parking on campus is inconvenient; public transportation or taxis are recommended. 2️⃣ You can sit on the lawn, but try not to step on the flower root areas. 3️⃣ Seattle’s weather changes quickly; bring a jacket. 4️⃣ For video shooting, a breezy day is best (it captures the feeling of falling cherry blossoms). 🌿 A Bit of Real Feeling Compared to Japan’s grand cherry blossom season, UW feels like a "just right spring." It’s not commercialized or deliberately lively. You sit on the grass, watch students daydream, chat, and bask in the sun, while cherry blossoms gently fall—that moment makes you feel this city is actually very gentle. If you happen to be in Seattle, it’s really worth spending a whole morning here. Not just to check it off your list, but to truly feel spring itself.

Everyone knows about the Alamo when they come to San Antonio, but this time I want to share a quieter, super photogenic place with a rich historical value — Mission San Juan. It is part of the San Antonio Missions, a group of missions (including Concepción, San José, San Juan, Espada, and the Alamo) that were designated as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site in 2015. The key point: They are the only World Heritage sites in Texas! Super impressive. ⛪ Mission San Juan is small but very comfortable San Juan was built in 1731 and retains a very rustic look: white church walls, low stone walls, old trees, and green lawns covering the entire courtyard. When you walk in, you feel, "Wow, this is so peaceful." Unlike the very crowded Mission San José, San Juan is truly a place where you can take a slow walk and daydream. 📸 Photography tips (really, any shot looks great) Wooden doors, cracks in stone walls, and shadows of old trees all make great compositions, naturally adding an atmospheric filter. It’s perfect for a literary or light travel vibe. Earth-tone clothes stand out beautifully against the background, making your photos pop. The afternoon light is the softest, making it easy to capture a beautiful, dreamy feel. 🌿 A little reflection: San Juan has a vibe that makes you happy when you slow down Although it’s not the largest or most popular mission, it’s my personal favorite. There’s no noise, no rush, just a slow walk, casual photos, and enjoying nature and old architecture. It really helps you relax. ✨Tips: Free admission and parking is easy.

🇺🇸 Flying to Orlando to check off the Disney bucket list, how much did the 7-day, 4-night trip cost? Do you dream of conquering all the Disneylands around the world? 👀 I have a bucket list to visit every Disneyland and Universal Studios worldwide, so I recently traveled to Orlando! With a tight schedule, I managed to visit 7 parks in 4 days—a massive challenge. Let me share the costs with you! 💰 ❶ Flight tickets: 1,840,000 KRW (*departing from Canada) • Toronto-Orlando via Air Canada: 400,000 KRW • Orlando-Incheon via Delta Airlines: 1,440,000 KRW ❷ Accommodation: 520,000 KRW • Disney All-Star Movies Resort for 4 nights ❸ Admission tickets: 1,750,000 KRW • Disney World Park Hopper 2-day pass • Universal Studios 2-Day 3-Park admission • Universal Express Ticket for 3 parks ❹ Food: 280,000 KRW (Uber Eats, snacks, meals included) ❺ Transportation: 90,000 KRW (Mears Connect, Lyft) ❻ Miscellaneous: 60,000 KRW (souvenirs, locker rentals, etc.) 💰 Total: approximately 4,500,000 KRW per person! Currently, there are no direct flights from Incheon to Orlando, and with the high exchange rates, traveling to Orlando requires solid preparation 🥹. The admission tickets for Orlando’s Disney World and Universal Studios are also more expensive compared to other countries. Still, it was a once-in-a-lifetime dream destination, so no regrets! I hope this helps those who dream of visiting all the Disneylands like me ♥️ Happily Ever After…🤍 📍Orlando, USA Follow @min9ooram for more stories about my Orlando theme park adventure 🕊️

#mytripvlog Architecture with glamours, stunning Mediterranean styles, and full of Spanish Colonial revival details, Balboa Park in San Diego is an iconic, historic urban culture park. As well known as Gardens, museums, theatres, and the San Diego Zoo, it's a park full of artistic and unique cultures. To get there, be prepared with comfortable shoes for walking and sunblock to prevent sunburns and spend your all-day enjoyment there.

Without the hustle and bustle of midsummer, this waterside oasis supported by 280 "concrete tulips" feels especially cool and sophisticated in the cold winds of the Hudson River. Take advantage of the fewer tourists and quickly collect this unique tranquility and romance of December. 📸 Winter-Exclusive Photo Spots Don’t think winter means bleakness; the evergreen plants here, nestled within the unique steel framework, create a design-rich three-dimensional oasis. These spots will make every shot cover-worthy: · 🌉 The Overlook (Horseshoe-Shaped Viewing Platform) · Highlight: Cantilevered over the river, facing the Lower Manhattan skyline. · Winter Tip: After 3 PM, the setting sun bathes the city’s cool-toned glass facades in gold, creating a stunning warm-cool contrast. · 🪨 Wavy Wooden Boardwalk · Highlight: A genius design by architect Thomas Heatherwick, with strong linear aesthetics. · Winter Tip: With leaves fallen, the geometric beauty of the structure is fully revealed. Wear a bright coat to maximize the atmosphere. · 💡 Nighttime Light Trail · Highlight: After dark, embedded LED ground lights turn the walkway into a flowing band of light. · Winter Tip: It gets dark early in winter, so around 4:30 PM you can capture the magical Blue Hour, where city lights and ground lights shine together. 🚶 Efficient Winter Walking Route (1-2 Hour Highlights) As a small park, visiting in winter can follow an “indoor-outdoor-indoor” rhythm to stay warm and enjoy fully. Route: Enter from the south entrance → head straight to The Overlook → stroll along the west side wavy boardwalk → cross the central hill → briefly stop at the open-air theater → exit from the north side, seamlessly connecting to Chelsea Market for warmth and food. 📍 Transportation Tips · Subway: A/C/E/L lines to 14th St/8th Ave; 1/2/3 lines to 14th St/7th Ave; F/M lines to 14th St/6th Ave. · Walking: Recommended to walk along Hudson River Park from the subway station; the scenery along the way is excellent. 💡 Final Tips 1. Warmth is key: It’s windy by the river, so hats, gloves, and warm shoes are more important than looking good. 2. Catch the golden hours: Arrive in the afternoon before sunset to enjoy daytime, sunset, and nighttime views all at once. 3. Keep your expectations: Winter at Little Island is calm and sparse with a Nordic vibe, a completely different flavor from the blooming spring and summer.

#springtravel They say if you can make it in New York City, you can make it anywhere. The city stands as the ultimate symbol of ambition, opportunity, and the timeless American Dream. But here’s the truth many travelers discover: the best way to experience New York isn’t by following a strict itinerary—it’s by letting the city write your story. Walk through the endless energy of Manhattan and you’ll quickly realize that magic happens in the unplanned moments. One minute you’re enjoying the calm green escape of Central Park, and the next you’re standing beneath the electrifying lights of Times Square. Cross the legendary Brooklyn Bridge at sunset, watch the skyline glow, and feel the pulse of a city that inspires millions. New York teaches travelers that dreams don’t always follow a schedule. Sometimes the best adventure is wandering through neighborhoods, discovering hidden cafés, street performances, rooftop views, and unforgettable city stories along the way. In the city that never sleeps, the ultimate American dream is simply living the moment. ✨ Travel Tips for Your NYC Adventure 🚇 Transportation: Use the subway and walk—NYC’s public transit connects every major neighborhood. 🌤 Best Time to Travel: April–June and September–October offer pleasant weather for exploring. 📍 Must-Visit Hot Spots: • Central Park • Times Square • Brooklyn Bridge • Statue of Liberty • High Line 🗓 Suggested “No-Itinerary” Day: Morning coffee in Manhattan → Central Park stroll → SoHo wandering → sunset Brooklyn Bridge → spontaneous dinner in Chinatown. 🌟 Do’s & Don’ts: • Do explore beyond the main tourist spots. • Do try iconic NYC foods like pizza and bagels. • Do keep your camera ready. • Don’t rush through the city. • Don’t overplan every moment. #newyorkcity #americandream #nyctravel #concretejungle #wanderlust 🗽✨

🚖Transportation: Our starting point is near Hollywood Hills. I recommend leaving around 9 am; it takes about 30-45 minutes to get there. 🚇Subway: If you don't have a car, you can take the Los Angeles Metro Line E. The last stop is Santa Monica Station, about a 10-minute walk from the station. 1️⃣ Stop: 3rd Street Pedestrian Street This is a pedestrian street in downtown Santa Monica. After parking, you can start exploring. This roughly one-kilometer-long pedestrian area has many well-known restaurants, bookstores, cafes, and handicraft shops, along with wonderful street musicians. The atmosphere is fantastic, and I recommend having lunch here. 2️⃣ Stop: Santa Monica Beach After lunch, head straight to the beach. This is one of the closest beaches to Los Angeles, so it's very crowded. Compared to other beaches, it's safer here, so you can play with peace of mind. 3️⃣ Stop: Santa Monica Pier Around sunset, be sure to rush to Santa Monica! Pier, this was the stop I was most looking forward to. Santa Monica Pier was built in 1909. The Route 66 terminus sign at the pier entrance is perfect for capturing the California atmosphere. Besides the sunset views, the pier also boasts classic attractions like a Ferris wheel and roller coaster. The roller coaster costs $15 for two rides, and the colors of the sky and the lights at sunset create a truly magical atmosphere! 🍴Dinner For dinner, I chose a seafood restaurant on the pier called The Albright. The seafood was very fresh, and the lobster rolls and fish and chips were delicious. You can enjoy dinner while watching the sunset. The average price per person is around $40! -🏠Airbnb Although we could have returned to Los Angeles immediately after dinner, we decided to stay overnight by the sea and found an Airbnb near Santa Monica Beach. ✨Name: Panoramic Ocean View with Balcony & Cal King Bed ✨Rating: 4.90 ✨Price: 3000 RMB/2 people 📍Location: Within a 10-minute walk of all Santa Monica attractions 🛁Stay Experience The host, Mike, was very welcoming and promptly helped us with any problems. He also recommended good local restaurants. The main reason we loved this Airbnb was the living room's window facing the ocean, which was truly beautiful and created a wonderful atmosphere. The room was fully equipped and very clean.

#springtravel The Manor House Terraces "The Manor House sits 150 feet above the valley floor, and the walk up through the seven levels of terraced gardens is a workout but worth it. In 2026, the 'Rose Arbor' was just starting to show its first pink 'New Dawn' roses. From the top, you get a panoramic view of the North Georgia Mountains. It’s the most 'European' part of the estate—very grand and formal."

Enjoy a family long weekend trip to the coastal town of Mendocino, California! Experience the stunning azure coast and mint-colored sea, take the kids to explore the unique coastline, visit gardens and lighthouses, and easily enjoy the seaside charm~ Mendocino boasts a distinctive coastal landscape with its deep blue ocean, mint-colored waters, dramatic cliffs, beautiful seaside gardens, and iconic lighthouse. Spend a relaxing long weekend here with your kids, strolling, eating, sightseeing, feeling the sea breeze, and experiencing California’s coastal romance. The itinerary is easygoing and perfectly paced for children. 📍Must-visit family-friendly spots 1 Point Mendocino Trail A hidden gem trail leading to a natural stone arch by the sea. The trailhead is right at the parking lot, making parking convenient. The arch is on the right after parking. The trail is short and easy, perfect for kids to handle. The coastline here is very special: at noon, the sky and sea are a vivid blue, and near sunset, the light softens and the sea turns mint green. Rolling waves crash against the cliffs, creating a spectacular view! Kids will love watching the sea here and might even spot seals, which makes them super happy. However, the coastal wind can be strong and there’s no shade, so be sure to bring windbreakers and sun protection for the kids. 2 Mendocino Coast Botanical Garden Address: 18220 CA-1, Fort Bragg. This stunning seaside garden is best visited from April to June when most of the rhododendrons bloom. The rhododendron festival is held in June, with hillsides covered in beautiful flowers that kids adore. The garden starts with small plants near the entrance, then you’ll see clusters of rhododendrons in the trees, and further ahead is the sea with unique coastal views. The garden is very large, perfect for spending half a day with kids enjoying flowers and the ocean—super relaxing. 3 Heritage House Resort & Spa A serendipitous treasure spot for ocean views, famous for its mint-colored sea! There’s a small white pavilion in the distance where you can watch mint-green waves crash against the rocks. The breathtaking scenery is hard to describe. There’s a lawn by the sea where kids can run and play, releasing energy—ideal for family photo ops and check-ins. 4 Point Cabrillo Lighthouse Museum Mendocino’s iconic lighthouse with a red roof, lush green lawn, and bright blue sky—a classic red, blue, and green color combo that’s stunning. Touring the lighthouse with kids is fun; inside is a small museum with exhibits about the ocean and lighthouses. You can explain the lighthouse’s purpose to the kids, helping them learn something new. There’s also a gift shop with souvenirs, perfect for picking out a small gift for the kids. 5 Glass Beach Located a bit further north in Fort Bragg, this beach features colorful glass pieces polished smooth by the waves. Kids can dig through the sand to find these colorful glass treasures, like a fun treasure hunt that can keep them entertained for hours. The beach is small but offers a fantastic experience. The colorful glass pieces found can be taken home as souvenirs. 🍴Family-friendly dining recommendations Ledford House: Stop here for a meal on your way back. It offers beautiful views of the distant blue sea. This French restaurant serves exquisite dishes and has a kids’ menu with steak, pasta, and desserts that children love. The service is great, making it perfect for family dining. 💡Family travel tips 1 The coastal wind can be strong, so bring windproof jackets and hats for the kids to protect against the wind; UV rays are strong by the sea, so pack sunscreen and sun hats for sun protection. 2 Wear comfortable sneakers when walking the trails. Some sections have rocks, so be cautious and keep kids away from cliff edges. 3 Bring plenty of drinking water and snacks. Walking in the garden and on trails can be tiring, so having food and drinks on hand helps keep kids energized. 4 For a long weekend trip, 2-3 days is recommended. No need to rush—visit 1-2 attractions per day, focusing on a relaxed pace. Enjoy watching the sea, strolling gardens, and hunting for colorful glass with the kids for a super happy experience.

This time, I took the kids to Vegas and finally included Antelope Canyon in the itinerary! The 10-hour round trip was really tough, but experiencing the charm of nature with the kids made it all worth it, and of course, you have to get great photos! Here are some very important family tips that I hope will help sisters avoid any traps: 1️⃣ Make sure the kids wear proper walking shoes! Absolutely! The park is full of red sand and uneven paths, so kids must wear non-slip sneakers. Avoid flip-flops or sandals to prevent slipping and blisters. 2️⃣ Antelope Canyon can only be visited with a local guide. If you’re with kids, it’s recommended to tip $5-$10 before the tour. Each group has about a dozen people waiting to enter, and you can’t fall behind. We didn’t tip, and the guide kept rushing us, so we barely had time to take photos, and the kids got anxious. Later we learned that tipping slows the guide down and they help find good photo spots, making the experience better with kids. 3️⃣ Antelope Canyon has top lighting, so front-facing photos aren’t ideal most of the time. Try having the kids look up or take parent-child photos from behind. The easiest trick is to have the kids wear sunglasses for better shots. The canyon is narrow, so it’s best to walk at the front or back of the group to avoid crowds and make it easier to take photos and rest with kids. 4️⃣ Family outfit tips: Black, white, or brown colors look best in photos. Parents and kids can coordinate with matching colors for more harmonious family pictures. 5️⃣ Actually, photos inside Antelope Canyon are all pretty similar. The wide-open area outside is much more spacious and there’s no guide rushing you, so you can comfortably take family photos and let the kids run and play freely. 6️⃣ Don’t forget sun protection! The park is very hot, so fully protect the kids with sun-protective clothing, hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen to avoid sunburn. 7️⃣ There are no clean restrooms inside the park, only pit toilets. You can change clothes and freshen up at a clean restroom the guide takes you to beforehand. Bring wet wipes and tissues to keep the kids clean. 8️⃣ Bring enough drinking water and light snacks for the kids. Supplies inside the park are scarce and expensive, so avoid hunger and thirst. 9️⃣ Pack common medicines and band-aids for the kids to handle emergencies like falls or scrapes. Regarding group tours, I did a lot of research because I didn’t want to be packed on a big bus. After reading many posts and checking foreign platforms, 50-person Antelope Canyon tours cost about $200 round trip from Vegas; 14-person business buses are around $250, with fixed hotel pickups—no door-to-door service, and extra fees or early pickups if you’re not at the designated hotels. This time, I found a private small group tour with a business car for up to 5 people at $259. They pick up from all central Vegas hotels and picked us up at 6 AM, saving a lot of time compared to regular tours. The guide was a kind Chinese lady, the car was clean, and they even provided umbrellas, ice water, iced cola, and sunscreen. The kids slept both ways—super comfortable. I really want to recommend it; it’s so good it feels like a secret, but no lies here~ The only regret is there’s no two-day tour option. Otherwise, we could have stayed overnight in Page town and had time to check out the Jennie-style Powell Lake boat tour for a richer experience with the kids. A couple traveling with us didn’t want to go, so we missed out—so regretful~ Next post will be about Horseshoe Bend! It’s insanely photogenic. You can skip Antelope Canyon, but Horseshoe Bend is definitely worth taking the kids to~

Standing under the cherry blossom tree in uniform for the last time. Wearing camouflage and counting over 1,000 sunsets, this time I can finally see the finish line. Counting the days until retirement, the rain we got caught in together, the sleepless nights, the officers we scolded... all have become memories that make me smile. Just like this cherry blossom tree, it should fall when it blooms the fullest. Some things, like camouflage green, will forever be dyed into my life. This is Tacoma Community College, completely empty. You can find angles to take really good photos. The University of Washington is just too crowded; I’ve taken photos there before, and it feels like the flowers there are getting whiter. Photos 2-3 are from Wapato Park; just look for the basketball court and you’ll see many cherry blossom trees.

California’s Mendocino seaside town is perfect for a family long weekend getaway! The blue coast meets the Mint Sea, with unique coastal scenery. Take the kids to visit gardens, see lighthouses, hunt for colorful glass, and explore this lesser-known California coastal gem~ Mendocino doesn’t have the crowds of popular beach cities; it’s quiet and niche, with one-of-a-kind coastal views. The seawater changes color with the light, showing shades of blue and mint. Cliffs, stone arches, lighthouses, gardens—each spot is stunningly beautiful. Bring the kids here to escape city noise, enjoy the sea breeze, and have a relaxing and joyful family long weekend. 📍 Family-Friendly Fun Spots 1 Point Mendocino Trail Take the kids to see the seaside stone arch. The trailhead has a parking lot, making parking easy. The trail is gentle and easy, suitable even for young children. Walk along the trail to enjoy the sea views—the deep blue ocean at noon and the mint-colored sea at sunset are breathtaking. You might even spot seals and seabirds, which kids love. It’s a great chance for kids to get close to marine life and learn. Note: The coastal wind is strong and there’s no shade, so protect the kids from wind and sun, and keep them away from the cliff edges. 2 Mendocino Coast Botanical Garden A stunning garden by the sea, with rhododendrons blooming from April to June, covering the hillsides in vibrant colors. Walk with the kids through the garden, learn about different plants, and teach them about rhododendrons to expand their knowledge. The garden’s far end leads directly to the coast, so you can enjoy both the garden and the sea in one trip. The garden has rest and picnic areas—bring a picnic blanket and enjoy a comfortable family picnic with the kids. 3 Point Cabrillo Lighthouse Museum The iconic red-roofed lighthouse is beautiful. Visit the lighthouse museum with the kids to see historical exhibits and marine specimens, and explain the lighthouse’s role in navigation in a way kids can easily understand. Outside, there’s a large lawn where kids can run, jump, and fly kites to burn off energy. Take family photos on the lawn with the lighthouse and ocean as a stunning backdrop. 4 Glass Beach Start a “treasure hunt” with the kids here by digging in the sand to find colorful glass pieces polished smooth by the waves. Kids love this activity and get excited with every find. The colorful glass pieces are small and delicate, perfect to take home as souvenirs. The sand is fine, so kids can also play and build sandcastles on the beach, which is super fun. Be sure to watch that kids don’t put the glass in their mouths. 5 Heritage House Resort & Spa The best viewpoint of the Mint Sea, with a white gazebo set against the mint-colored ocean—absolutely beautiful. Sit with the kids in the gazebo to watch the sea and feel the breeze, perfect for family photos with a great atmosphere. There are rocks by the shore where kids can look for little crabs and shells, sparking their curiosity. 🍴 Family Dining Highlights Ledford House: French cuisine with ocean views and an amazing vista of the blue sea. They offer a special kids’ menu with pasta, roast chicken, and ice cream—favorites for children. The dishes are exquisite and tasty, with attentive service, making it ideal for family dining. The town also has various American snacks like burgers, fries, and hot dogs, which kids love and are great for casual bites. 💡 Family Long Weekend Travel Tips 1 Transportation: Self-driving is recommended. The town’s attractions are moderately spaced, making driving convenient and hassle-free with kids. Free parking is available at both attractions and in town, making parking very easy. 2 Clothing: The coastal area has big temperature differences between morning and evening, and strong sea winds. Bring windbreakers, light sweaters, and hats for the kids, adjusting layers as needed. Wear comfortable sneakers for easier walking on trails and beaches. 3 Essentials: Pack sunscreen, sun hats, sunglasses, and insect repellent since UV rays are strong by the sea. Bring drinking water, snacks, and fruit to keep kids refreshed while exploring. Also bring small shovels and buckets for kids to play and hunt for treasures at Glass Beach. 4 Timing: Plan 2-3 days, visiting 1-2 attractions per day without rushing. Focus on relaxed family time—watching the sea, strolling gardens, and treasure hunting for a super fun experience.

#springtravel Cherry Blossom Festival (Late March) "The cherry blossoms started around the third week of March this year. The 'Prunus' walk was a tunnel of white and pale pink. It’s a much more 'ephemeral' experience than the daffodils—the petals only last about ten days. Catching the 'Sakura Fubuki' (cherry blossom blizzard) over the ponds was a 2026 highlight. It’s less crowded than the DC Tidal Basin but just as beautiful, with the added bonus of the Georgia mountain backdrop."

Every shot looks amazing. 🚗 Travel tips & reminders It’s best to drive a 4WD vehicle, as the last stretch is a dirt road🤣 Remember not to wash your car before coming because it will quickly get dusty XD There are no convenience stores nearby, so it’s recommended to buy groceries in Los Angeles or Palm Springs in advance

#falladventures The open road stretches out like a ribbon, unspooling into a tunnel of light and color. Flanking the pavement, massive oak and maple trees have shed their summer robes for the splendor of autumn's gold and scarlet. Driving this stretch feels like passing through a kaleidoscope, where every bend reveals a new, intensified wash of color. The asphalt is flecked with sun-dried leaves, crunching beneath the tires, a satisfying counterpoint to the hum of the engine. This is the ultimate autumn drive, a journey for the soul as much as the car, urging you onward toward a cozy, welcoming destination, perhaps a quiet cabin or a familiar hearth. • #autumndrive • #fallroadtrip • #goldentunnel • #leafpeeping • #roadsidebeauty • #openroad • #driveinfall

Let me say this without exaggeration... This place is not just an amusement park; it’s a whole new world—a world filled with imagination, laughter, and tangible happiness 🥹💖 🚪 The moment you step in… Disney music fills the air, the scent of treats wafts by, accompanied by a gentle breeze and warm sunlight. It feels like the outside world disappears, and you’re fully immersed in a Disney movie 🎬 🏰 Seeing Sleeping Beauty’s Castle for the first time: I didn’t cry… but my eyes got teary 😭. It’s like stepping into the scenes I used to watch as a child, but now I’m actually walking into them. 🎢 Top 3 rides to recommend: 1. Indiana Jones Adventure – It feels like you’re dodging traps in the movie. So thrilling! 2. Haunted Mansion – Spooky but adorable! Disney ghosts aren’t scary, but the design is so stunning it gives you chills. 3. Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run – A dream come true for Star Wars fans 🚀🌌 🍽️ Food is another highlight of the trip: • Turkey Leg 🦃: It’s massive! No way you can finish it alone. • Mickey-shaped Pretzel: A must-try! Eat, take a photo, and eat some more. • Churros with cinnamon aroma: Perfect for snacking all day long. 🎆 Ending the day with the Disney Fireworks Show: I teared up without shame. The music, lights, and Walt Disney’s words at the end made me feel that "dreams" always hold power as long as we don’t forget them. 💬 Summary of the Disneyland California trip: This place is not just an amusement park… It’s a space where you can reconnect with the version of yourself that believes in magic. No one will think you’re crazy if you get excited about princesses or dance to the music in the streets. Because everyone at Disneyland… comes to "believe in something beautiful" together 💫

#springtravel Final Verdict: A Georgia Treasure "Is Gibbs Gardens worth the drive in Spring 2026? Absolutely. It is the premier floral destination in the Southeast. Between the 20 million daffodils and the world-class Japanese garden, it offers a scale of beauty that is unmatched. It’s a place that makes you proud of Georgia’s natural beauty. 10/10—plan to spend the whole day."

If spring comes to Seattle, be sure to dedicate a day to the University of Washington (UW). The cherry blossoms here are not just "beautiful," but the kind that quietly calm you down as soon as you step in. Spring in Seattle always arrives with restraint. Overcast skies, a gentle breeze, occasional rays of sunshine, and the cherry blossoms quietly bloom all over the campus in this understated weather. The must-visit spot is UW’s most iconic Quad lawn. It is surrounded by a circle of century-old Yoshino cherry trees, which reach their peak bloom for just a short one to two weeks each year. When the flowers bloom, the entire sky turns a soft pink and white, and when the wind blows, it feels like cherry blossom rain. 📍Best Viewing Time Usually from mid to late March to early April, with slight variations each year. It’s recommended to check the real-time bloom status before you go. This year, March 20th marked the peak bloom. 👉 Tips: To capture photos with "fewer people + good lighting," try to arrive before 8 AM or about an hour before sunset. Midday tends to be very crowded, basically a sea of people. 📸 Photo Spot Recommendations (Tested and Proven) ✔ Lawn Central Axis: Stand in the center and shoot to both sides; the cherry blossoms form an arch, creating a very atmospheric scene. ✔ Teaching Building Archway Corridor: View the cherry blossoms through the old architecture for a cinematic feel. ✔ Upward Shot of Cherry Blossoms: Lie on the grass and shoot upward for a clean and romantic background. ✔ Cherry Blossoms + Portraits: It’s recommended to wear light or solid colors (white, beige, light blue) for a cleaner look. 🚶‍♀️ Convenient Route (No Backtracking) 👉 Quad (Cherry Blossom Core Area) → Suzzallo Library (Harry Potter-style library atmosphere) → Red Square → University of Washington Dock (pleasant lakeside walk) This route covers the essence of UW and takes about 2–3 hours, just right. ☕️ Useful Cherry Blossom Viewing Tips 1️⃣ Parking on campus is inconvenient; public transportation or taxis are recommended. 2️⃣ You can sit on the lawn, but try not to step on the flower root areas. 3️⃣ Seattle’s weather changes quickly; bring a jacket. 4️⃣ For video shooting, a breezy day is best (it captures the feeling of falling cherry blossoms). 🌿 A Bit of Real Feeling Compared to Japan’s grand cherry blossom season, UW feels like a "just right spring." It’s not commercialized or deliberately lively. You sit on the grass, watch students daydream, chat, and bask in the sun, while cherry blossoms gently fall—that moment makes you feel this city is actually very gentle. If you happen to be in Seattle, it’s really worth spending a whole morning here. Not just to check it off your list, but to truly feel spring itself.

Everyone knows about the Alamo when they come to San Antonio, but this time I want to share a quieter, super photogenic place with a rich historical value — Mission San Juan. It is part of the San Antonio Missions, a group of missions (including Concepción, San José, San Juan, Espada, and the Alamo) that were designated as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site in 2015. The key point: They are the only World Heritage sites in Texas! Super impressive. ⛪ Mission San Juan is small but very comfortable San Juan was built in 1731 and retains a very rustic look: white church walls, low stone walls, old trees, and green lawns covering the entire courtyard. When you walk in, you feel, "Wow, this is so peaceful." Unlike the very crowded Mission San José, San Juan is truly a place where you can take a slow walk and daydream. 📸 Photography tips (really, any shot looks great) Wooden doors, cracks in stone walls, and shadows of old trees all make great compositions, naturally adding an atmospheric filter. It’s perfect for a literary or light travel vibe. Earth-tone clothes stand out beautifully against the background, making your photos pop. The afternoon light is the softest, making it easy to capture a beautiful, dreamy feel. 🌿 A little reflection: San Juan has a vibe that makes you happy when you slow down Although it’s not the largest or most popular mission, it’s my personal favorite. There’s no noise, no rush, just a slow walk, casual photos, and enjoying nature and old architecture. It really helps you relax. ✨Tips: Free admission and parking is easy. If you have time, you can visit the other nearby missions as well, making for a complete “Texas World Heritage walking route.” ⛪️Mission San Juan 📍 9101 Graf Rd, San Antonio, TX 78214, USA Mission San Juan Capistrano

🇺🇸 Flying to Orlando to check off the Disney bucket list, how much did the 7-day, 4-night trip cost? Do you dream of conquering all the Disneylands around the world? 👀 I have a bucket list to visit every Disneyland and Universal Studios worldwide, so I recently traveled to Orlando! With a tight schedule, I managed to visit 7 parks in 4 days—a massive challenge. Let me share the costs with you! 💰 ❶ Flight tickets: 1,840,000 KRW (*departing from Canada) • Toronto-Orlando via Air Canada: 400,000 KRW • Orlando-Incheon via Delta Airlines: 1,440,000 KRW ❷ Accommodation: 520,000 KRW • Disney All-Star Movies Resort for 4 nights ❸ Admission tickets: 1,750,000 KRW • Disney World Park Hopper 2-day pass • Universal Studios 2-Day 3-Park admission • Universal Express Ticket for 3 parks ❹ Food: 280,000 KRW (Uber Eats, snacks, meals included) ❺ Transportation: 90,000 KRW (Mears Connect, Lyft) ❻ Miscellaneous: 60,000 KRW (souvenirs, locker rentals, etc.) 💰 Total: approximately 4,500,000 KRW per person! Currently, there are no direct flights from Incheon to Orlando, and with the high exchange rates, traveling to Orlando requires solid preparation 🥹. The admission tickets for Orlando’s Disney World and Universal Studios are also more expensive compared to other countries. Still, it was a once-in-a-lifetime dream destination, so no regrets! I hope this helps those who dream of visiting all the Disneylands like me ♥️ Happily Ever After…🤍 📍Orlando, USA Follow @min9ooram for more stories about my Orlando theme park adventure 🕊️

Without the hustle and bustle of midsummer, this waterside oasis supported by 280 "concrete tulips" feels especially cool and sophisticated in the cold winds of the Hudson River. Take advantage of the fewer tourists and quickly collect this unique tranquility and romance of December. 📸 Winter-Exclusive Photo Spots Don’t think winter means bleakness; the evergreen plants here, nestled within the unique steel framework, create a design-rich three-dimensional oasis. These spots will make every shot cover-worthy: · 🌉 The Overlook (Horseshoe-Shaped Viewing Platform) · Highlight: Cantilevered over the river, facing the Lower Manhattan skyline. · Winter Tip: After 3 PM, the setting sun bathes the city’s cool-toned glass facades in gold, creating a stunning warm-cool contrast. · 🪨 Wavy Wooden Boardwalk · Highlight: A genius design by architect Thomas Heatherwick, with strong linear aesthetics. · Winter Tip: With leaves fallen, the geometric beauty of the structure is fully revealed. Wear a bright coat to maximize the atmosphere. · 💡 Nighttime Light Trail · Highlight: After dark, embedded LED ground lights turn the walkway into a flowing band of light. · Winter Tip: It gets dark early in winter, so around 4:30 PM you can capture the magical Blue Hour, where city lights and ground lights shine together. 🚶 Efficient Winter Walking Route (1-2 Hour Highlights) As a small park, visiting in winter can follow an “indoor-outdoor-indoor” rhythm to stay warm and enjoy fully. Route: Enter from the south entrance → head straight to The Overlook → stroll along the west side wavy boardwalk → cross the central hill → briefly stop at the open-air theater → exit from the north side, seamlessly connecting to Chelsea Market for warmth and food. 📍 Transportation Tips · Subway: A/C/E/L lines to 14th St/8th Ave; 1/2/3 lines to 14th St/7th Ave; F/M lines to 14th St/6th Ave. · Walking: Recommended to walk along Hudson River Park from the subway station; the scenery along the way is excellent. 💡 Final Tips 1. Warmth is key: It’s windy by the river, so hats, gloves, and warm shoes are more important than looking good. 2. Catch the golden hours: Arrive in the afternoon before sunset to enjoy daytime, sunset, and nighttime views all at once. 3. Keep your expectations: Winter at Little Island is calm and sparse with a Nordic vibe, a completely different flavor from the blooming spring and summer.

#springtravel They say if you can make it in New York City, you can make it anywhere. The city stands as the ultimate symbol of ambition, opportunity, and the timeless American Dream. But here’s the truth many travelers discover: the best way to experience New York isn’t by following a strict itinerary—it’s by letting the city write your story. Walk through the endless energy of Manhattan and you’ll quickly realize that magic happens in the unplanned moments. One minute you’re enjoying the calm green escape of Central Park, and the next you’re standing beneath the electrifying lights of Times Square. Cross the legendary Brooklyn Bridge at sunset, watch the skyline glow, and feel the pulse of a city that inspires millions. New York teaches travelers that dreams don’t always follow a schedule. Sometimes the best adventure is wandering through neighborhoods, discovering hidden cafés, street performances, rooftop views, and unforgettable city stories along the way. In the city that never sleeps, the ultimate American dream is simply living the moment. ✨ Travel Tips for Your NYC Adventure 🚇 Transportation: Use the subway and walk—NYC’s public transit connects every major neighborhood. 🌤 Best Time to Travel: April–June and September–October offer pleasant weather for exploring. 📍 Must-Visit Hot Spots: • Central Park • Times Square • Brooklyn Bridge • Statue of Liberty • High Line 🗓 Suggested “No-Itinerary” Day: Morning coffee in Manhattan → Central Park stroll → SoHo wandering → sunset Brooklyn Bridge → spontaneous dinner in Chinatown. 🌟 Do’s & Don’ts: • Do explore beyond the main tourist spots. • Do try iconic NYC foods like pizza and bagels. • Do keep your camera ready. • Don’t rush through the city. • Don’t overplan every moment. #newyorkcity #americandream #nyctravel #concretejungle #wanderlust 🗽✨

🚖Transportation: Our starting point is near Hollywood Hills. I recommend leaving around 9 am; it takes about 30-45 minutes to get there. 🚇Subway: If you don't have a car, you can take the Los Angeles Metro Line E. The last stop is Santa Monica Station, about a 10-minute walk from the station. 1️⃣ Stop: 3rd Street Pedestrian Street This is a pedestrian street in downtown Santa Monica. After parking, you can start exploring. This roughly one-kilometer-long pedestrian area has many well-known restaurants, bookstores, cafes, and handicraft shops, along with wonderful street musicians. The atmosphere is fantastic, and I recommend having lunch here. 2️⃣ Stop: Santa Monica Beach After lunch, head straight to the beach. This is one of the closest beaches to Los Angeles, so it's very crowded. Compared to other beaches, it's safer here, so you can play with peace of mind. 3️⃣ Stop: Santa Monica Pier Around sunset, be sure to rush to Santa Monica! Pier, this was the stop I was most looking forward to. Santa Monica Pier was built in 1909. The Route 66 terminus sign at the pier entrance is perfect for capturing the California atmosphere. Besides the sunset views, the pier also boasts classic attractions like a Ferris wheel and roller coaster. The roller coaster costs $15 for two rides, and the colors of the sky and the lights at sunset create a truly magical atmosphere! 🍴Dinner For dinner, I chose a seafood restaurant on the pier called The Albright. The seafood was very fresh, and the lobster rolls and fish and chips were delicious. You can enjoy dinner while watching the sunset. The average price per person is around $40! -🏠Airbnb Although we could have returned to Los Angeles immediately after dinner, we decided to stay overnight by the sea and found an Airbnb near Santa Monica Beach. ✨Name: Panoramic Ocean View with Balcony & Cal King Bed ✨Rating: 4.90 ✨Price: 3000 RMB/2 people 📍Location: Within a 10-minute walk of all Santa Monica attractions 🛁Stay Experience The host, Mike, was very welcoming and promptly helped us with any problems. He also recommended good local restaurants. The main reason we loved this Airbnb was the living room's window facing the ocean, which was truly beautiful and created a wonderful atmosphere. The room was fully equipped and very clean.

#springtravel The Manor House Terraces "The Manor House sits 150 feet above the valley floor, and the walk up through the seven levels of terraced gardens is a workout but worth it. In 2026, the 'Rose Arbor' was just starting to show its first pink 'New Dawn' roses. From the top, you get a panoramic view of the North Georgia Mountains. It’s the most 'European' part of the estate—very grand and formal."

Enjoy a family long weekend trip to the coastal town of Mendocino, California! Experience the stunning azure coast and mint-colored sea, take the kids to explore the unique coastline, visit gardens and lighthouses, and easily enjoy the seaside charm~ Mendocino boasts a distinctive coastal landscape with its deep blue ocean, mint-colored waters, dramatic cliffs, beautiful seaside gardens, and iconic lighthouse. Spend a relaxing long weekend here with your kids, strolling, eating, sightseeing, feeling the sea breeze, and experiencing California’s coastal romance. The itinerary is easygoing and perfectly paced for children. 📍Must-visit family-friendly spots 1 Point Mendocino Trail A hidden gem trail leading to a natural stone arch by the sea. The trailhead is right at the parking lot, making parking convenient. The arch is on the right after parking. The trail is short and easy, perfect for kids to handle. The coastline here is very special: at noon, the sky and sea are a vivid blue, and near sunset, the light softens and the sea turns mint green. Rolling waves crash against the cliffs, creating a spectacular view! Kids will love watching the sea here and might even spot seals, which makes them super happy. However, the coastal wind can be strong and there’s no shade, so be sure to bring windbreakers and sun protection for the kids. 2 Mendocino Coast Botanical Garden Address: 18220 CA-1, Fort Bragg. This stunning seaside garden is best visited from April to June when most of the rhododendrons bloom. The rhododendron festival is held in June, with hillsides covered in beautiful flowers that kids adore. The garden starts with small plants near the entrance, then you’ll see clusters of rhododendrons in the trees, and further ahead is the sea with unique coastal views. The garden is very large, perfect for spending half a day with kids enjoying flowers and the ocean—super relaxing. 3 Heritage House Resort & Spa A serendipitous treasure spot for ocean views, famous for its mint-colored sea! There’s a small white pavilion in the distance where you can watch mint-green waves crash against the rocks. The breathtaking scenery is hard to describe. There’s a lawn by the sea where kids can run and play, releasing energy—ideal for family photo ops and check-ins. 4 Point Cabrillo Lighthouse Museum Mendocino’s iconic lighthouse with a red roof, lush green lawn, and bright blue sky—a classic red, blue, and green color combo that’s stunning. Touring the lighthouse with kids is fun; inside is a small museum with exhibits about the ocean and lighthouses. You can explain the lighthouse’s purpose to the kids, helping them learn something new. There’s also a gift shop with souvenirs, perfect for picking out a small gift for the kids. 5 Glass Beach Located a bit further north in Fort Bragg, this beach features colorful glass pieces polished smooth by the waves. Kids can dig through the sand to find these colorful glass treasures, like a fun treasure hunt that can keep them entertained for hours. The beach is small but offers a fantastic experience. The colorful glass pieces found can be taken home as souvenirs. 🍴Family-friendly dining recommendations Ledford House: Stop here for a meal on your way back. It offers beautiful views of the distant blue sea. This French restaurant serves exquisite dishes and has a kids’ menu with steak, pasta, and desserts that children love. The service is great, making it perfect for family dining. 💡Family travel tips 1 The coastal wind can be strong, so bring windproof jackets and hats for the kids to protect against the wind; UV rays are strong by the sea, so pack sunscreen and sun hats for sun protection. 2 Wear comfortable sneakers when walking the trails. Some sections have rocks, so be cautious and keep kids away from cliff edges. 3 Bring plenty of drinking water and snacks. Walking in the garden and on trails can be tiring, so having food and drinks on hand helps keep kids energized. 4 For a long weekend trip, 2-3 days is recommended. No need to rush—visit 1-2 attractions per day, focusing on a relaxed pace. Enjoy watching the sea, strolling gardens, and hunting for colorful glass with the kids for a super happy experience.

This time, I took the kids to Vegas and finally included Antelope Canyon in the itinerary! The 10-hour round trip was really tough, but experiencing the charm of nature with the kids made it all worth it, and of course, you have to get great photos! Here are some very important family tips that I hope will help sisters avoid any traps: 1️⃣ Make sure the kids wear proper walking shoes! Absolutely! The park is full of red sand and uneven paths, so kids must wear non-slip sneakers. Avoid flip-flops or sandals to prevent slipping and blisters. 2️⃣ Antelope Canyon can only be visited with a local guide. If you’re with kids, it’s recommended to tip $5-$10 before the tour. Each group has about a dozen people waiting to enter, and you can’t fall behind. We didn’t tip, and the guide kept rushing us, so we barely had time to take photos, and the kids got anxious. Later we learned that tipping slows the guide down and they help find good photo spots, making the experience better with kids. 3️⃣ Antelope Canyon has top lighting, so front-facing photos aren’t ideal most of the time. Try having the kids look up or take parent-child photos from behind. The easiest trick is to have the kids wear sunglasses for better shots. The canyon is narrow, so it’s best to walk at the front or back of the group to avoid crowds and make it easier to take photos and rest with kids. 4️⃣ Family outfit tips: Black, white, or brown colors look best in photos. Parents and kids can coordinate with matching colors for more harmonious family pictures. 5️⃣ Actually, photos inside Antelope Canyon are all pretty similar. The wide-open area outside is much more spacious and there’s no guide rushing you, so you can comfortably take family photos and let the kids run and play freely. 6️⃣ Don’t forget sun protection! The park is very hot, so fully protect the kids with sun-protective clothing, hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen to avoid sunburn. 7️⃣ There are no clean restrooms inside the park, only pit toilets. You can change clothes and freshen up at a clean restroom the guide takes you to beforehand. Bring wet wipes and tissues to keep the kids clean. 8️⃣ Bring enough drinking water and light snacks for the kids. Supplies inside the park are scarce and expensive, so avoid hunger and thirst. 9️⃣ Pack common medicines and band-aids for the kids to handle emergencies like falls or scrapes. Regarding group tours, I did a lot of research because I didn’t want to be packed on a big bus. After reading many posts and checking foreign platforms, 50-person Antelope Canyon tours cost about $200 round trip from Vegas; 14-person business buses are around $250, with fixed hotel pickups—no door-to-door service, and extra fees or early pickups if you’re not at the designated hotels. This time, I found a private small group tour with a business car for up to 5 people at $259. They pick up from all central Vegas hotels and picked us up at 6 AM, saving a lot of time compared to regular tours. The guide was a kind Chinese lady, the car was clean, and they even provided umbrellas, ice water, iced cola, and sunscreen. The kids slept both ways—super comfortable. I really want to recommend it; it’s so good it feels like a secret, but no lies here~ The only regret is there’s no two-day tour option. Otherwise, we could have stayed overnight in Page town and had time to check out the Jennie-style Powell Lake boat tour for a richer experience with the kids. A couple traveling with us didn’t want to go, so we missed out—so regretful~ Next post will be about Horseshoe Bend! It’s insanely photogenic. You can skip Antelope Canyon, but Horseshoe Bend is definitely worth taking the kids to~

Standing under the cherry blossom tree in uniform for the last time. Wearing camouflage and counting over 1,000 sunsets, this time I can finally see the finish line. Counting the days until retirement, the rain we got caught in together, the sleepless nights, the officers we scolded... all have become memories that make me smile. Just like this cherry blossom tree, it should fall when it blooms the fullest. Some things, like camouflage green, will forever be dyed into my life. This is Tacoma Community College, completely empty. You can find angles to take really good photos. The University of Washington is just too crowded; I’ve taken photos there before, and it feels like the flowers there are getting whiter. Photos 2-3 are from Wapato Park; just look for the basketball court and you’ll see many cherry blossom trees.

California’s Mendocino seaside town is perfect for a family long weekend getaway! The blue coast meets the Mint Sea, with unique coastal scenery. Take the kids to visit gardens, see lighthouses, hunt for colorful glass, and explore this lesser-known California coastal gem~ Mendocino doesn’t have the crowds of popular beach cities; it’s quiet and niche, with one-of-a-kind coastal views. The seawater changes color with the light, showing shades of blue and mint. Cliffs, stone arches, lighthouses, gardens—each spot is stunningly beautiful. Bring the kids here to escape city noise, enjoy the sea breeze, and have a relaxing and joyful family long weekend. 📍 Family-Friendly Fun Spots 1 Point Mendocino Trail Take the kids to see the seaside stone arch. The trailhead has a parking lot, making parking easy. The trail is gentle and easy, suitable even for young children. Walk along the trail to enjoy the sea views—the deep blue ocean at noon and the mint-colored sea at sunset are breathtaking. You might even spot seals and seabirds, which kids love. It’s a great chance for kids to get close to marine life and learn. Note: The coastal wind is strong and there’s no shade, so protect the kids from wind and sun, and keep them away from the cliff edges. 2 Mendocino Coast Botanical Garden A stunning garden by the sea, with rhododendrons blooming from April to June, covering the hillsides in vibrant colors. Walk with the kids through the garden, learn about different plants, and teach them about rhododendrons to expand their knowledge. The garden’s far end leads directly to the coast, so you can enjoy both the garden and the sea in one trip. The garden has rest and picnic areas—bring a picnic blanket and enjoy a comfortable family picnic with the kids. 3 Point Cabrillo Lighthouse Museum The iconic red-roofed lighthouse is beautiful. Visit the lighthouse museum with the kids to see historical exhibits and marine specimens, and explain the lighthouse’s role in navigation in a way kids can easily understand. Outside, there’s a large lawn where kids can run, jump, and fly kites to burn off energy. Take family photos on the lawn with the lighthouse and ocean as a stunning backdrop. 4 Glass Beach Start a “treasure hunt” with the kids here by digging in the sand to find colorful glass pieces polished smooth by the waves. Kids love this activity and get excited with every find. The colorful glass pieces are small and delicate, perfect to take home as souvenirs. The sand is fine, so kids can also play and build sandcastles on the beach, which is super fun. Be sure to watch that kids don’t put the glass in their mouths. 5 Heritage House Resort & Spa The best viewpoint of the Mint Sea, with a white gazebo set against the mint-colored ocean—absolutely beautiful. Sit with the kids in the gazebo to watch the sea and feel the breeze, perfect for family photos with a great atmosphere. There are rocks by the shore where kids can look for little crabs and shells, sparking their curiosity. 🍴 Family Dining Highlights Ledford House: French cuisine with ocean views and an amazing vista of the blue sea. They offer a special kids’ menu with pasta, roast chicken, and ice cream—favorites for children. The dishes are exquisite and tasty, with attentive service, making it ideal for family dining. The town also has various American snacks like burgers, fries, and hot dogs, which kids love and are great for casual bites. 💡 Family Long Weekend Travel Tips 1 Transportation: Self-driving is recommended. The town’s attractions are moderately spaced, making driving convenient and hassle-free with kids. Free parking is available at both attractions and in town, making parking very easy. 2 Clothing: The coastal area has big temperature differences between morning and evening, and strong sea winds. Bring windbreakers, light sweaters, and hats for the kids, adjusting layers as needed. Wear comfortable sneakers for easier walking on trails and beaches. 3 Essentials: Pack sunscreen, sun hats, sunglasses, and insect repellent since UV rays are strong by the sea. Bring drinking water, snacks, and fruit to keep kids refreshed while exploring. Also bring small shovels and buckets for kids to play and hunt for treasures at Glass Beach. 4 Timing: Plan 2-3 days, visiting 1-2 attractions per day without rushing. Focus on relaxed family time—watching the sea, strolling gardens, and treasure hunting for a super fun experience.

#springtravel Cherry Blossom Festival (Late March) "The cherry blossoms started around the third week of March this year. The 'Prunus' walk was a tunnel of white and pale pink. It’s a much more 'ephemeral' experience than the daffodils—the petals only last about ten days. Catching the 'Sakura Fubuki' (cherry blossom blizzard) over the ponds was a 2026 highlight. It’s less crowded than the DC Tidal Basin but just as beautiful, with the added bonus of the Georgia mountain backdrop."

Always kept on my dream list✔️ This time, I finally stayed at one of my most wanted Airbnbs with friends: La Cave ~ The Cave Pool House + Spa by Casa Cabin I really love it! It might be my "most beautiful Airbnb in the US" ❤️ The Airbnb is near Joshua Tree National Park, about a 2-hour drive from Los Angeles😆 🔹 Highlights｜Pure white cave pool x Mediterranean desert style 🔹 La Cave is inspired by Cycladic Mediterranean architecture. The most popular spot is definitely the beautiful white cave pool and heated spa outdoors. It's a famous Instagrammable Airbnb😆 The location is great, very private and peaceful, like living inside a magazine. Soaking in the hot spring in the desert and stargazing at night is truly amazing😆 The interior uses earthy tones and natural materials, perfectly blending with the surrounding nature.

Every shot looks amazing. 🚗 Travel tips & reminders It’s best to drive a 4WD vehicle, as the last stretch is a dirt road🤣 Remember not to wash your car before coming because it will quickly get dusty XD There are no convenience stores nearby, so it’s recommended to buy groceries in Los Angeles or Palm Springs in advance

#mytripvlog When people take a road trip, traveling between Los Angeles and Las Vegas along Interstate 15, the colorful installation art will catch travelers' eyes when passing through desert landscapes. About 10 miles south of Las Vegas, the Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone decided on the location to present his large-scale public art to brighten the Mojave desert day and night.

#falladventures The open road stretches out like a ribbon, unspooling into a tunnel of light and color. Flanking the pavement, massive oak and maple trees have shed their summer robes for the splendor of autumn's gold and scarlet. Driving this stretch feels like passing through a kaleidoscope, where every bend reveals a new, intensified wash of color. The asphalt is flecked with sun-dried leaves, crunching beneath the tires, a satisfying counterpoint to the hum of the engine. This is the ultimate autumn drive, a journey for the soul as much as the car, urging you onward toward a cozy, welcoming destination, perhaps a quiet cabin or a familiar hearth. • #autumndrive • #fallroadtrip • #goldentunnel • #leafpeeping • #roadsidebeauty • #openroad • #driveinfall

Let me say this without exaggeration... This place is not just an amusement park; it’s a whole new world—a world filled with imagination, laughter, and tangible happiness 🥹💖 🚪 The moment you step in… Disney music fills the air, the scent of treats wafts by, accompanied by a gentle breeze and warm sunlight. It feels like the outside world disappears, and you’re fully immersed in a Disney movie 🎬 🏰 Seeing Sleeping Beauty’s Castle for the first time: I didn’t cry… but my eyes got teary 😭. It’s like stepping into the scenes I used to watch as a child, but now I’m actually walking into them. 🎢 Top 3 rides to recommend: 1. Indiana Jones Adventure – It feels like you’re dodging traps in the movie. So thrilling! 2. Haunted Mansion – Spooky but adorable! Disney ghosts aren’t scary, but the design is so stunning it gives you chills. 3. Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run – A dream come true for Star Wars fans 🚀🌌 🍽️ Food is another highlight of the trip: • Turkey Leg 🦃: It’s massive! No way you can finish it alone. • Mickey-shaped Pretzel: A must-try! Eat, take a photo, and eat some more. • Churros with cinnamon aroma: Perfect for snacking all day long. 🎆 Ending the day with the Disney Fireworks Show: I teared up without shame. The music, lights, and Walt Disney’s words at the end made me feel that "dreams" always hold power as long as we don’t forget them. 💬 Summary of the Disneyland California trip: This place is not just an amusement park… It’s a space where you can reconnect with the version of yourself that believes in magic. No one will think you’re crazy if you get excited about princesses or dance to the music in the streets. Because everyone at Disneyland… comes to "believe in something beautiful" together 💫

#springtravel Final Verdict: A Georgia Treasure "Is Gibbs Gardens worth the drive in Spring 2026? Absolutely. It is the premier floral destination in the Southeast. Between the 20 million daffodils and the world-class Japanese garden, it offers a scale of beauty that is unmatched. It’s a place that makes you proud of Georgia’s natural beauty. 10/10—plan to spend the whole day."

If spring comes to Seattle, be sure to dedicate a day to the University of Washington (UW). The cherry blossoms here are not just "beautiful," but the kind that quietly calm you down as soon as you step in. Spring in Seattle always arrives with restraint. Overcast skies, a gentle breeze, occasional rays of sunshine, and the cherry blossoms quietly bloom all over the campus in this understated weather. The must-visit spot is UW’s most iconic Quad lawn. It is surrounded by a circle of century-old Yoshino cherry trees, which reach their peak bloom for just a short one to two weeks each year. When the flowers bloom, the entire sky turns a soft pink and white, and when the wind blows, it feels like cherry blossom rain. 📍Best Viewing Time Usually from mid to late March to early April, with slight variations each year. It’s recommended to check the real-time bloom status before you go. This year, March 20th marked the peak bloom. 👉 Tips: To capture photos with "fewer people + good lighting," try to arrive before 8 AM or about an hour before sunset. Midday tends to be very crowded, basically a sea of people. 📸 Photo Spot Recommendations (Tested and Proven) ✔ Lawn Central Axis: Stand in the center and shoot to both sides; the cherry blossoms form an arch, creating a very atmospheric scene. ✔ Teaching Building Archway Corridor: View the cherry blossoms through the old architecture for a cinematic feel. ✔ Upward Shot of Cherry Blossoms: Lie on the grass and shoot upward for a clean and romantic background. ✔ Cherry Blossoms + Portraits: It’s recommended to wear light or solid colors (white, beige, light blue) for a cleaner look. 🚶‍♀️ Convenient Route (No Backtracking) 👉 Quad (Cherry Blossom Core Area) → Suzzallo Library (Harry Potter-style library atmosphere) → Red Square → University of Washington Dock (pleasant lakeside walk) This route covers the essence of UW and takes about 2–3 hours, just right. ☕️ Useful Cherry Blossom Viewing Tips 1️⃣ Parking on campus is inconvenient; public transportation or taxis are recommended. 2️⃣ You can sit on the lawn, but try not to step on the flower root areas. 3️⃣ Seattle’s weather changes quickly; bring a jacket. 4️⃣ For video shooting, a breezy day is best (it captures the feeling of falling cherry blossoms). 🌿 A Bit of Real Feeling Compared to Japan’s grand cherry blossom season, UW feels like a "just right spring." It’s not commercialized or deliberately lively. You sit on the grass, watch students daydream, chat, and bask in the sun, while cherry blossoms gently fall—that moment makes you feel this city is actually very gentle. If you happen to be in Seattle, it’s really worth spending a whole morning here. Not just to check it off your list, but to truly feel spring itself.

Everyone knows about the Alamo when they come to San Antonio, but this time I want to share a quieter, super photogenic place with a rich historical value — Mission San Juan. It is part of the San Antonio Missions, a group of missions (including Concepción, San José, San Juan, Espada, and the Alamo) that were designated as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site in 2015. The key point: They are the only World Heritage sites in Texas! Super impressive. ⛪ Mission San Juan is small but very comfortable San Juan was built in 1731 and retains a very rustic look: white church walls, low stone walls, old trees, and green lawns covering the entire courtyard. When you walk in, you feel, "Wow, this is so peaceful." Unlike the very crowded Mission San José, San Juan is truly a place where you can take a slow walk and daydream. 📸 Photography tips (really, any shot looks great) Wooden doors, cracks in stone walls, and shadows of old trees all make great compositions, naturally adding an atmospheric filter. It’s perfect for a literary or light travel vibe. Earth-tone clothes stand out beautifully against the background, making your photos pop. The afternoon light is the softest, making it easy to capture a beautiful, dreamy feel. 🌿 A little reflection: San Juan has a vibe that makes you happy when you slow down Although it’s not the largest or most popular mission, it’s my personal favorite. There’s no noise, no rush, just a slow walk, casual photos, and enjoying nature and old architecture. It really helps you relax. ✨Tips: Free admission and parking is easy. If you have time, you can visit the other nearby missions as well, making for a complete “Texas World Heritage walking route.” ⛪️Mission San Juan 📍 9101 Graf Rd, San Antonio, TX 78214, USA Mission San Juan Capistrano

🇺🇸 Flying to Orlando to check off the Disney bucket list, how much did the 7-day, 4-night trip cost? Do you dream of conquering all the Disneylands around the world? 👀 I have a bucket list to visit every Disneyland and Universal Studios worldwide, so I recently traveled to Orlando! With a tight schedule, I managed to visit 7 parks in 4 days—a massive challenge.

Take advantage of the fewer tourists and quickly collect this unique tranquility and romance of December. 📸 Winter-Exclusive Photo Spots Don’t think winter means bleakness; the evergreen plants here, nestled within the unique steel framework, create a design-rich three-dimensional oasis. These spots will make every shot cover-worthy: · 🌉 The Overlook (Horseshoe-Shaped Viewing Platform) · Highlight: Cantilevered over the river, facing the Lower Manhattan skyline. · Winter Tip: After 3 PM, the setting sun bathes the city’s cool-toned glass facades in gold, creating a stunning warm-cool contrast. · 🪨 Wavy Wooden Boardwalk · Highlight: A genius design by architect Thomas Heatherwick, with strong linear aesthetics. · Winter Tip: With leaves fallen, the geometric beauty of the structure is fully revealed. Wear a bright coat to maximize the atmosphere. · 💡 Nighttime Light Trail · Highlight: After dark, embedded LED ground lights turn the walkway into a flowing band of light. · Winter Tip: It gets dark early in winter, so around 4:30 PM you can capture the magical Blue Hour, where city lights and ground lights shine together. 🚶 Efficient Winter Walking Route (1-2 Hour Highlights) As a small park, visiting in winter can follow an “indoor-outdoor-indoor” rhythm to stay warm and enjoy fully. Route: Enter from the south entrance → head straight to The Overlook → stroll along the west side wavy boardwalk → cross the central hill → briefly stop at the open-air theater → exit from the north side, seamlessly connecting to Chelsea Market for warmth and food. 📍 Transportation Tips · Subway: A/C/E/L lines to 14th St/8th Ave; 1/2/3 lines to 14th St/7th Ave; F/M lines to 14th St/6th Ave. · Walking: Recommended to walk along Hudson River Park from the subway station; the scenery along the way is excellent. 💡 Final Tips 1. Warmth is key: It’s windy by the river, so hats, gloves, and warm shoes are more important than looking good. 2. Catch the golden hours: Arrive in the afternoon before sunset to enjoy daytime, sunset, and nighttime views all at once. 3. Keep your expectations: Winter at Little Island is calm and sparse with a Nordic vibe, a completely different flavor from the blooming spring and summer.

#springtravel They say if you can make it in New York City, you can make it anywhere. The city stands as the ultimate symbol of ambition, opportunity, and the timeless American Dream. But here’s the truth many travelers discover: the best way to experience New York isn’t by following a strict itinerary—it’s by letting the city write your story. Walk through the endless energy of Manhattan and you’ll quickly realize that magic happens in the unplanned moments. One minute you’re enjoying the calm green escape of Central Park, and the next you’re standing beneath the electrifying lights of Times Square. Cross the legendary Brooklyn Bridge at sunset, watch the skyline glow, and feel the pulse of a city that inspires millions. New York teaches travelers that dreams don’t always follow a schedule. Sometimes the best adventure is wandering through neighborhoods, discovering hidden cafés, street performances, rooftop views, and unforgettable city stories along the way. In the city that never sleeps, the ultimate American dream is simply living the moment. ✨ Travel Tips for Your NYC Adventure 🚇 Transportation: Use the subway and walk—NYC’s public transit connects every major neighborhood. 🌤 Best Time to Travel: April–June and September–October offer pleasant weather for exploring. 📍 Must-Visit Hot Spots: • Central Park • Times Square • Brooklyn Bridge • Statue of Liberty • High Line 🗓 Suggested “No-Itinerary” Day: Morning coffee in Manhattan → Central Park stroll → SoHo wandering → sunset Brooklyn Bridge → spontaneous dinner in Chinatown. 🌟 Do’s & Don’ts: • Do explore beyond the main tourist spots. • Do try iconic NYC foods like pizza and bagels. • Do keep your camera ready. • Don’t rush through the city. • Don’t overplan every moment. #newyorkcity #americandream #nyctravel #concretejungle #wanderlust 🗽✨

🚖Transportation: Our starting point is near Hollywood Hills. I recommend leaving around 9 am; it takes about 30-45 minutes to get there. 🚇Subway: If you don't have a car, you can take the Los Angeles Metro Line E. The last stop is Santa Monica Station, about a 10-minute walk from the station. 1️⃣ Stop: 3rd Street Pedestrian Street This is a pedestrian street in downtown Santa Monica. After parking, you can start exploring. This roughly one-kilometer-long pedestrian area has many well-known restaurants, bookstores, cafes, and handicraft shops, along with wonderful street musicians. The atmosphere is fantastic, and I recommend having lunch here. 2️⃣ Stop: Santa Monica Beach After lunch, head straight to the beach. This is one of the closest beaches to Los Angeles, so it's very crowded. Compared to other beaches, it's safer here, so you can play with peace of mind. 3️⃣ Stop: Santa Monica Pier Around sunset, be sure to rush to Santa Monica! Pier, this was the stop I was most looking forward to. Santa Monica Pier was built in 1909. The Route 66 terminus sign at the pier entrance is perfect for capturing the California atmosphere. Besides the sunset views, the pier also boasts classic attractions like a Ferris wheel and roller coaster. The roller coaster costs $15 for two rides, and the colors of the sky and the lights at sunset create a truly magical atmosphere! 🍴Dinner For dinner, I chose a seafood restaurant on the pier called The Albright. The seafood was very fresh, and the lobster rolls and fish and chips were delicious. You can enjoy dinner while watching the sunset. The average price per person is around $40! -🏠Airbnb Although we could have returned to Los Angeles immediately after dinner, we decided to stay overnight by the sea and found an Airbnb near Santa Monica Beach. ✨Name: Panoramic Ocean View with Balcony & Cal King Bed ✨Rating: 4.90 ✨Price: 3000 RMB/2 people 📍Location: Within a 10-minute walk of all Santa Monica attractions 🛁Stay Experience The host, Mike, was very welcoming and promptly helped us with any problems. He also recommended good local restaurants. The main reason we loved this Airbnb was the living room's window facing the ocean, which was truly beautiful and created a wonderful atmosphere. The room was fully equipped and very clean.

#springtravel The Manor House Terraces "The Manor House sits 150 feet above the valley floor, and the walk up through the seven levels of terraced gardens is a workout but worth it. In 2026, the 'Rose Arbor' was just starting to show its first pink 'New Dawn' roses. From the top, you get a panoramic view of the North Georgia Mountains. It’s the most 'European' part of the estate—very grand and formal."

Enjoy a family long weekend trip to the coastal town of Mendocino, California! Experience the stunning azure coast and mint-colored sea, take the kids to explore the unique coastline, visit gardens and lighthouses, and easily enjoy the seaside charm~ Mendocino boasts a distinctive coastal landscape with its deep blue ocean, mint-colored waters, dramatic cliffs, beautiful seaside gardens, and iconic lighthouse. Spend a relaxing long weekend here with your kids, strolling, eating, sightseeing, feeling the sea breeze, and experiencing California’s coastal romance. The itinerary is easygoing and perfectly paced for children. 📍Must-visit family-friendly spots 1 Point Mendocino Trail A hidden gem trail leading to a natural stone arch by the sea. The trailhead is right at the parking lot, making parking convenient. The arch is on the right after parking. The trail is short and easy, perfect for kids to handle. The coastline here is very special: at noon, the sky and sea are a vivid blue, and near sunset, the light softens and the sea turns mint green. Rolling waves crash against the cliffs, creating a spectacular view! Kids will love watching the sea here and might even spot seals, which makes them super happy. However, the coastal wind can be strong and there’s no shade, so be sure to bring windbreakers and sun protection for the kids. 2 Mendocino Coast Botanical Garden Address: 18220 CA-1, Fort Bragg. This stunning seaside garden is best visited from April to June when most of the rhododendrons bloom. The rhododendron festival is held in June, with hillsides covered in beautiful flowers that kids adore. The garden starts with small plants near the entrance, then you’ll see clusters of rhododendrons in the trees, and further ahead is the sea with unique coastal views. The garden is very large, perfect for spending half a day with kids enjoying flowers and the ocean—super relaxing. 3 Heritage House Resort & Spa A serendipitous treasure spot for ocean views, famous for its mint-colored sea! There’s a small white pavilion in the distance where you can watch mint-green waves crash against the rocks. The breathtaking scenery is hard to describe. There’s a lawn by the sea where kids can run and play, releasing energy—ideal for family photo ops and check-ins. 4 Point Cabrillo Lighthouse Museum Mendocino’s iconic lighthouse with a red roof, lush green lawn, and bright blue sky—a classic red, blue, and green color combo that’s stunning. Touring the lighthouse with kids is fun; inside is a small museum with exhibits about the ocean and lighthouses. You can explain the lighthouse’s purpose to the kids, helping them learn something new. There’s also a gift shop with souvenirs, perfect for picking out a small gift for the kids. 5 Glass Beach Located a bit further north in Fort Bragg, this beach features colorful glass pieces polished smooth by the waves. Kids can dig through the sand to find these colorful glass treasures, like a fun treasure hunt that can keep them entertained for hours. The beach is small but offers a fantastic experience. The colorful glass pieces found can be taken home as souvenirs. 🍴Family-friendly dining recommendations Ledford House: Stop here for a meal on your way back. It offers beautiful views of the distant blue sea. This French restaurant serves exquisite dishes and has a kids’ menu with steak, pasta, and desserts that children love. The service is great, making it perfect for family dining. 💡Family travel tips 1 The coastal wind can be strong, so bring windproof jackets and hats for the kids to protect against the wind; UV rays are strong by the sea, so pack sunscreen and sun hats for sun protection. 2 Wear comfortable sneakers when walking the trails. Some sections have rocks, so be cautious and keep kids away from cliff edges. 3 Bring plenty of drinking water and snacks. Walking in the garden and on trails can be tiring, so having food and drinks on hand helps keep kids energized. 4 For a long weekend trip, 2-3 days is recommended. No need to rush—visit 1-2 attractions per day, focusing on a relaxed pace. Enjoy watching the sea, strolling gardens, and hunting for colorful glass with the kids for a super happy experience.

This time, I took the kids to Vegas and finally included Antelope Canyon in the itinerary! The 10-hour round trip was really tough, but experiencing the charm of nature with the kids made it all worth it, and of course, you have to get great photos! Here are some very important family tips that I hope will help sisters avoid any traps: 1️⃣ Make sure the kids wear proper walking shoes! Absolutely! The park is full of red sand and uneven paths, so kids must wear non-slip sneakers. Avoid flip-flops or sandals to prevent slipping and blisters. 2️⃣ Antelope Canyon can only be visited with a local guide. If you’re with kids, it’s recommended to tip $5-$10 before the tour. Each group has about a dozen people waiting to enter, and you can’t fall behind. We didn’t tip, and the guide kept rushing us, so we barely had time to take photos, and the kids got anxious. Later we learned that tipping slows the guide down and they help find good photo spots, making the experience better with kids. 3️⃣ Antelope Canyon has top lighting, so front-facing photos aren’t ideal most of the time. Try having the kids look up or take parent-child photos from behind. The easiest trick is to have the kids wear sunglasses for better shots. The canyon is narrow, so it’s best to walk at the front or back of the group to avoid crowds and make it easier to take photos and rest with kids. 4️⃣ Family outfit tips: Black, white, or brown colors look best in photos. Parents and kids can coordinate with matching colors for more harmonious family pictures. 5️⃣ Actually, photos inside Antelope Canyon are all pretty similar. The wide-open area outside is much more spacious and there’s no guide rushing you, so you can comfortably take family photos and let the kids run and play freely. 6️⃣ Don’t forget sun protection! The park is very hot, so fully protect the kids with sun-protective clothing, hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen to avoid sunburn. 7️⃣ There are no clean restrooms inside the park, only pit toilets. You can change clothes and freshen up at a clean restroom the guide takes you to beforehand. Bring wet wipes and tissues to keep the kids clean. 8️⃣ Bring enough drinking water and light snacks for the kids. Supplies inside the park are scarce and expensive, so avoid hunger and thirst. 9️⃣ Pack common medicines and band-aids for the kids to handle emergencies like falls or scrapes. Regarding group tours, I did a lot of research because I didn’t want to be packed on a big bus. After reading many posts and checking foreign platforms, 50-person Antelope Canyon tours cost about $200 round trip from Vegas; 14-person business buses are around $250, with fixed hotel pickups—no door-to-door service, and extra fees or early pickups if you’re not at the designated hotels. This time, I found a private small group tour with a business car for up to 5 people at $259. They pick up from all central Vegas hotels and picked us up at 6 AM, saving a lot of time compared to regular tours. The guide was a kind Chinese lady, the car was clean, and they even provided umbrellas, ice water, iced cola, and sunscreen. The kids slept both ways—super comfortable. I really want to recommend it; it’s so good it feels like a secret, but no lies here~ The only regret is there’s no two-day tour option. Otherwise, we could have stayed overnight in Page town and had time to check out the Jennie-style Powell Lake boat tour for a richer experience with the kids. A couple traveling with us didn’t want to go, so we missed out—so regretful~ Next post will be about Horseshoe Bend! It’s insanely photogenic. You can skip Antelope Canyon, but Horseshoe Bend is definitely worth taking the kids to~

Standing under the cherry blossom tree in uniform for the last time. Wearing camouflage and counting over 1,000 sunsets, this time I can finally see the finish line. Counting the days until retirement, the rain we got caught in together, the sleepless nights, the officers we scolded... all have become memories that make me smile. Just like this cherry blossom tree, it should fall when it blooms the fullest. Some things, like camouflage green, will forever be dyed into my life. This is Tacoma Community College, completely empty. You can find angles to take really good photos. The University of Washington is just too crowded; I’ve taken photos there before, and it feels like the flowers there are getting whiter. Photos 2-3 are from Wapato Park; just look for the basketball court and you’ll see many cherry blossom trees.

California’s Mendocino seaside town is perfect for a family long weekend getaway! The blue coast meets the Mint Sea, with unique coastal scenery. Take the kids to visit gardens, see lighthouses, hunt for colorful glass, and explore this lesser-known California coastal gem~ Mendocino doesn’t have the crowds of popular beach cities; it’s quiet and niche, with one-of-a-kind coastal views. The seawater changes color with the light, showing shades of blue and mint. Cliffs, stone arches, lighthouses, gardens—each spot is stunningly beautiful. Bring the kids here to escape city noise, enjoy the sea breeze, and have a relaxing and joyful family long weekend. 📍 Family-Friendly Fun Spots 1 Point Mendocino Trail Take the kids to see the seaside stone arch. The trailhead has a parking lot, making parking easy. The trail is gentle and easy, suitable even for young children. Walk along the trail to enjoy the sea views—the deep blue ocean at noon and the mint-colored sea at sunset are breathtaking. You might even spot seals and seabirds, which kids love. It’s a great chance for kids to get close to marine life and learn. Note: The coastal wind is strong and there’s no shade, so protect the kids from wind and sun, and keep them away from the cliff edges. 2 Mendocino Coast Botanical Garden A stunning garden by the sea, with rhododendrons blooming from April to June, covering the hillsides in vibrant colors. Walk with the kids through the garden, learn about different plants, and teach them about rhododendrons to expand their knowledge. The garden’s far end leads directly to the coast, so you can enjoy both the garden and the sea in one trip. The garden has rest and picnic areas—bring a picnic blanket and enjoy a comfortable family picnic with the kids. 3 Point Cabrillo Lighthouse Museum The iconic red-roofed lighthouse is beautiful. Visit the lighthouse museum with the kids to see historical exhibits and marine specimens, and explain the lighthouse’s role in navigation in a way kids can easily understand. Outside, there’s a large lawn where kids can run, jump, and fly kites to burn off energy. Take family photos on the lawn with the lighthouse and ocean as a stunning backdrop. 4 Glass Beach Start a “treasure hunt” with the kids here by digging in the sand to find colorful glass pieces polished smooth by the waves. Kids love this activity and get excited with every find. The colorful glass pieces are small and delicate, perfect to take home as souvenirs. The sand is fine, so kids can also play and build sandcastles on the beach, which is super fun. Be sure to watch that kids don’t put the glass in their mouths. 5 Heritage House Resort & Spa The best viewpoint of the Mint Sea, with a white gazebo set against the mint-colored ocean—absolutely beautiful. Sit with the kids in the gazebo to watch the sea and feel the breeze, perfect for family photos with a great atmosphere. There are rocks by the shore where kids can look for little crabs and shells, sparking their curiosity. 🍴 Family Dining Highlights Ledford House: French cuisine with ocean views and an amazing vista of the blue sea. They offer a special kids’ menu with pasta, roast chicken, and ice cream—favorites for children. The dishes are exquisite and tasty, with attentive service, making it ideal for family dining. The town also has various American snacks like burgers, fries, and hot dogs, which kids love and are great for casual bites. 💡 Family Long Weekend Travel Tips 1 Transportation: Self-driving is recommended. The town’s attractions are moderately spaced, making driving convenient and hassle-free with kids. Free parking is available at both attractions and in town, making parking very easy. 2 Clothing: The coastal area has big temperature differences between morning and evening, and strong sea winds. Bring windbreakers, light sweaters, and hats for the kids, adjusting layers as needed. Wear comfortable sneakers for easier walking on trails and beaches. 3 Essentials: Pack sunscreen, sun hats, sunglasses, and insect repellent since UV rays are strong by the sea. Bring drinking water, snacks, and fruit to keep kids refreshed while exploring. Also bring small shovels and buckets for kids to play and hunt for treasures at Glass Beach. 4 Timing: Plan 2-3 days, visiting 1-2 attractions per day without rushing. Focus on relaxed family time—watching the sea, strolling gardens, and treasure hunting for a super fun experience.

#springtravel Cherry Blossom Festival (Late March) "The cherry blossoms started around the third week of March this year. The 'Prunus' walk was a tunnel of white and pale pink. It’s a much more 'ephemeral' experience than the daffodils—the petals only last about ten days. Catching the 'Sakura Fubuki' (cherry blossom blizzard) over the ponds was a 2026 highlight. It’s less crowded than the DC Tidal Basin but just as beautiful, with the added bonus of the Georgia mountain backdrop."

Always kept on my dream list✔️ This time, I finally stayed at one of my most wanted Airbnbs with friends: La Cave ~ The Cave Pool House + Spa by Casa Cabin I really love it!

Every shot looks amazing. 🚗 Travel tips & reminders It’s best to drive a 4WD vehicle, as the last stretch is a dirt road🤣 Remember not to wash your car before coming because it will quickly get dusty XD There are no convenience stores nearby, so it’s recommended to buy groceries in Los Angeles or Palm Springs in advance

#mytripvlog When people take a road trip, traveling between Los Angeles and Las Vegas along Interstate 15, the colorful installation art will catch travelers' eyes when passing through desert landscapes. About 10 miles south of Las Vegas, the Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone decided on the location to present his large-scale public art to brighten the Mojave desert day and night.

#falladventures The open road stretches out like a ribbon, unspooling into a tunnel of light and color. Flanking the pavement, massive oak and maple trees have shed their summer robes for the splendor of autumn's gold and scarlet. Driving this stretch feels like passing through a kaleidoscope, where every bend reveals a new, intensified wash of color. The asphalt is flecked with sun-dried leaves, crunching beneath the tires, a satisfying counterpoint to the hum of the engine. This is the ultimate autumn drive, a journey for the soul as much as the car, urging you onward toward a cozy, welcoming destination, perhaps a quiet cabin or a familiar hearth. • #autumndrive • #fallroadtrip • #goldentunnel • #leafpeeping • #roadsidebeauty • #openroad • #driveinfall

Let me say this without exaggeration... This place is not just an amusement park; it’s a whole new world—a world filled with imagination, laughter, and tangible happiness 🥹💖 🚪 The moment you step in… Disney music fills the air, the scent of treats wafts by, accompanied by a gentle breeze and warm sunlight. It feels like the outside world disappears, and you’re fully immersed in a Disney movie 🎬 🏰 Seeing Sleeping Beauty’s Castle for the first time: I didn’t cry… but my eyes got teary 😭.

Indiana Jones Adventure – It feels like you’re dodging traps in the movie. So thrilling! 2. Haunted Mansion – Spooky but adorable!

#springtravel Final Verdict: A Georgia Treasure "Is Gibbs Gardens worth the drive in Spring 2026? Absolutely. It is the premier floral destination in the Southeast. Between the 20 million daffodils and the world-class Japanese garden, it offers a scale of beauty that is unmatched. It’s a place that makes you proud of Georgia’s natural beauty. 10/10—plan to spend the whole day."

If spring comes to Seattle, be sure to dedicate a day to the University of Washington (UW). The cherry blossoms here are not just "beautiful," but the kind that quietly calm you down as soon as you step in. Spring in Seattle always arrives with restraint. Overcast skies, a gentle breeze, occasional rays of sunshine, and the cherry blossoms quietly bloom all over the campus in this understated weather. The must-visit spot is UW’s most iconic Quad lawn. It is surrounded by a circle of century-old Yoshino cherry trees, which reach their peak bloom for just a short one to two weeks each year. When the flowers bloom, the entire sky turns a soft pink and white, and when the wind blows, it feels like cherry blossom rain. 📍Best Viewing Time Usually from mid to late March to early April, with slight variations each year. It’s recommended to check the real-time bloom status before you go. This year, March 20th marked the peak bloom. 👉 Tips: To capture photos with "fewer people + good lighting," try to arrive before 8 AM or about an hour before sunset. Midday tends to be very crowded, basically a sea of people. 📸 Photo Spot Recommendations (Tested and Proven) ✔ Lawn Central Axis: Stand in the center and shoot to both sides; the cherry blossoms form an arch, creating a very atmospheric scene. ✔ Teaching Building Archway Corridor: View the cherry blossoms through the old architecture for a cinematic feel. ✔ Upward Shot of Cherry Blossoms: Lie on the grass and shoot upward for a clean and romantic background. ✔ Cherry Blossoms + Portraits: It’s recommended to wear light or solid colors (white, beige, light blue) for a cleaner look. 🚶‍♀️ Convenient Route (No Backtracking) 👉 Quad (Cherry Blossom Core Area) → Suzzallo Library (Harry Potter-style library atmosphere) → Red Square → University of Washington Dock (pleasant lakeside walk) This route covers the essence of UW and takes about 2–3 hours, just right. ☕️ Useful Cherry Blossom Viewing Tips 1️⃣ Parking on campus is inconvenient; public transportation or taxis are recommended. 2️⃣ You can sit on the lawn, but try not to step on the flower root areas. 3️⃣ Seattle’s weather changes quickly; bring a jacket. 4️⃣ For video shooting, a breezy day is best (it captures the feeling of falling cherry blossoms). 🌿 A Bit of Real Feeling Compared to Japan’s grand cherry blossom season, UW feels like a "just right spring." It’s not commercialized or deliberately lively. You sit on the grass, watch students daydream, chat, and bask in the sun, while cherry blossoms gently fall—that moment makes you feel this city is actually very gentle. If you happen to be in Seattle, it’s really worth spending a whole morning here. Not just to check it off your list, but to truly feel spring itself.

#mustvisitattractions In a city full of theme parks, Universal Epic Universe stands out because of its commitment to total immersion. You don't just "see" these worlds; you live in them.

It represents the pinnacle of 21st-century themed entertainment. If you only visit one new attraction this year, make sure it’s this one—it truly is the "epic" destination its name promises.

Everyone knows about the Alamo when they come to San Antonio, but this time I want to share a quieter, super photogenic place with a rich historical value — Mission San Juan. It is part of the San Antonio Missions, a group of missions (including Concepción, San José, San Juan, Espada, and the Alamo) that were designated as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site in 2015. The key point: They are the only World Heritage sites in Texas! Super impressive. ⛪ Mission San Juan is small but very comfortable San Juan was built in 1731 and retains a very rustic look: white church walls, low stone walls, old trees, and green lawns covering the entire courtyard. When you walk in, you feel, "Wow, this is so peaceful." Unlike the very crowded Mission San José, San Juan is truly a place where you can take a slow walk and daydream. 📸 Photography tips (really, any shot looks great) Wooden doors, cracks in stone walls, and shadows of old trees all make great compositions, naturally adding an atmospheric filter. It’s perfect for a literary or light travel vibe. Earth-tone clothes stand out beautifully against the background, making your photos pop. The afternoon light is the softest, making it easy to capture a beautiful, dreamy feel. 🌿 A little reflection: San Juan has a vibe that makes you happy when you slow down Although it’s not the largest or most popular mission, it’s my personal favorite. There’s no noise, no rush, just a slow walk, casual photos, and enjoying nature and old architecture. It really helps you relax. ✨Tips: Free admission and parking is easy. If you have time, you can visit the other nearby missions as well, making for a complete “Texas World Heritage walking route.” ⛪️Mission San Juan 📍 9101 Graf Rd, San Antonio, TX 78214, USA Mission San Juan Capistrano

🇺🇸 Flying to Orlando to check off the Disney bucket list, how much did the 7-day, 4-night trip cost? Do you dream of conquering all the Disneylands around the world? 👀 I have a bucket list to visit every Disneyland and Universal Studios worldwide, so I recently traveled to Orlando! With a tight schedule, I managed to visit 7 parks in 4 days—a massive challenge. Let me share the costs with you! 💰 ❶ Flight tickets: 1,840,000 KRW (*departing from Canada) • Toronto-Orlando via Air Canada: 400,000 KRW • Orlando-Incheon via Delta Airlines: 1,440,000 KRW ❷ Accommodation: 520,000 KRW • Disney All-Star Movies Resort for 4 nights ❸ Admission tickets: 1,750,000 KRW • Disney World Park Hopper 2-day pass • Universal Studios 2-Day 3-Park admission • Universal Express Ticket for 3 parks ❹ Food: 280,000 KRW (Uber Eats, snacks, meals included) ❺ Transportation: 90,000 KRW (Mears Connect, Lyft) ❻ Miscellaneous: 60,000 KRW (souvenirs, locker rentals, etc.) 💰 Total: approximately 4,500,000 KRW per person! Currently, there are no direct flights from Incheon to Orlando, and with the high exchange rates, traveling to Orlando requires solid preparation 🥹. The admission tickets for Orlando’s Disney World and Universal Studios are also more expensive compared to other countries. Still, it was a once-in-a-lifetime dream destination, so no regrets! I hope this helps those who dream of visiting all the Disneylands like me ♥️ Happily Ever After…🤍 📍Orlando, USA Follow @min9ooram for more stories about my Orlando theme park adventure 🕊️

#mytripvlog Architecture with glamours, stunning Mediterranean styles, and full of Spanish Colonial revival details, Balboa Park in San Diego is an iconic, historic urban culture park. As well known as Gardens, museums, theatres, and the San Diego Zoo, it's a park full of artistic and unique cultures. To get there, be prepared with comfortable shoes for walking and sunblock to prevent sunburns and spend your all-day enjoyment there.

Without the hustle and bustle of midsummer, this waterside oasis supported by 280 "concrete tulips" feels especially cool and sophisticated in the cold winds of the Hudson River. Take advantage of the fewer tourists and quickly collect this unique tranquility and romance of December. 📸 Winter-Exclusive Photo Spots Don’t think winter means bleakness; the evergreen plants here, nestled within the unique steel framework, create a design-rich three-dimensional oasis. These spots will make every shot cover-worthy: · 🌉 The Overlook (Horseshoe-Shaped Viewing Platform) · Highlight: Cantilevered over the river, facing the Lower Manhattan skyline. · Winter Tip: After 3 PM, the setting sun bathes the city’s cool-toned glass facades in gold, creating a stunning warm-cool contrast. · 🪨 Wavy Wooden Boardwalk · Highlight: A genius design by architect Thomas Heatherwick, with strong linear aesthetics. · Winter Tip: With leaves fallen, the geometric beauty of the structure is fully revealed. Wear a bright coat to maximize the atmosphere. · 💡 Nighttime Light Trail · Highlight: After dark, embedded LED ground lights turn the walkway into a flowing band of light. · Winter Tip: It gets dark early in winter, so around 4:30 PM you can capture the magical Blue Hour, where city lights and ground lights shine together. 🚶 Efficient Winter Walking Route (1-2 Hour Highlights) As a small park, visiting in winter can follow an “indoor-outdoor-indoor” rhythm to stay warm and enjoy fully. Route: Enter from the south entrance → head straight to The Overlook → stroll along the west side wavy boardwalk → cross the central hill → briefly stop at the open-air theater → exit from the north side, seamlessly connecting to Chelsea Market for warmth and food. 📍 Transportation Tips · Subway: A/C/E/L lines to 14th St/8th Ave; 1/2/3 lines to 14th St/7th Ave; F/M lines to 14th St/6th Ave. · Walking: Recommended to walk along Hudson River Park from the subway station; the scenery along the way is excellent. 💡 Final Tips 1. Warmth is key: It’s windy by the river, so hats, gloves, and warm shoes are more important than looking good. 2. Catch the golden hours: Arrive in the afternoon before sunset to enjoy daytime, sunset, and nighttime views all at once. 3. Keep your expectations: Winter at Little Island is calm and sparse with a Nordic vibe, a completely different flavor from the blooming spring and summer.

#springtravel They say if you can make it in New York City, you can make it anywhere. The city stands as the ultimate symbol of ambition, opportunity, and the timeless American Dream. But here’s the truth many travelers discover: the best way to experience New York isn’t by following a strict itinerary—it’s by letting the city write your story. Walk through the endless energy of Manhattan and you’ll quickly realize that magic happens in the unplanned moments. One minute you’re enjoying the calm green escape of Central Park, and the next you’re standing beneath the electrifying lights of Times Square. Cross the legendary Brooklyn Bridge at sunset, watch the skyline glow, and feel the pulse of a city that inspires millions. New York teaches travelers that dreams don’t always follow a schedule. Sometimes the best adventure is wandering through neighborhoods, discovering hidden cafés, street performances, rooftop views, and unforgettable city stories along the way. In the city that never sleeps, the ultimate American dream is simply living the moment. ✨ Travel Tips for Your NYC Adventure 🚇 Transportation: Use the subway and walk—NYC’s public transit connects every major neighborhood. 🌤 Best Time to Travel: April–June and September–October offer pleasant weather for exploring. 📍 Must-Visit Hot Spots: • Central Park • Times Square • Brooklyn Bridge • Statue of Liberty • High Line 🗓 Suggested “No-Itinerary” Day: Morning coffee in Manhattan → Central Park stroll → SoHo wandering → sunset Brooklyn Bridge → spontaneous dinner in Chinatown. 🌟 Do’s & Don’ts: • Do explore beyond the main tourist spots. • Do try iconic NYC foods like pizza and bagels. • Do keep your camera ready. • Don’t rush through the city. • Don’t overplan every moment. #newyorkcity #americandream #nyctravel #concretejungle #wanderlust 🗽✨

🚖Transportation: Our starting point is near Hollywood Hills. I recommend leaving around 9 am; it takes about 30-45 minutes to get there. 🚇Subway: If you don't have a car, you can take the Los Angeles Metro Line E. The last stop is Santa Monica Station, about a 10-minute walk from the station. 1️⃣ Stop: 3rd Street Pedestrian Street This is a pedestrian street in downtown Santa Monica. After parking, you can start exploring. This roughly one-kilometer-long pedestrian area has many well-known restaurants, bookstores, cafes, and handicraft shops, along with wonderful street musicians. The atmosphere is fantastic, and I recommend having lunch here. 2️⃣ Stop: Santa Monica Beach After lunch, head straight to the beach. This is one of the closest beaches to Los Angeles, so it's very crowded. Compared to other beaches, it's safer here, so you can play with peace of mind. 3️⃣ Stop: Santa Monica Pier Around sunset, be sure to rush to Santa Monica! Pier, this was the stop I was most looking forward to. Santa Monica Pier was built in 1909. The Route 66 terminus sign at the pier entrance is perfect for capturing the California atmosphere. Besides the sunset views, the pier also boasts classic attractions like a Ferris wheel and roller coaster. The roller coaster costs $15 for two rides, and the colors of the sky and the lights at sunset create a truly magical atmosphere! 🍴Dinner For dinner, I chose a seafood restaurant on the pier called The Albright. The seafood was very fresh, and the lobster rolls and fish and chips were delicious. You can enjoy dinner while watching the sunset. The average price per person is around $40! -🏠Airbnb Although we could have returned to Los Angeles immediately after dinner, we decided to stay overnight by the sea and found an Airbnb near Santa Monica Beach. ✨Name: Panoramic Ocean View with Balcony & Cal King Bed ✨Rating: 4.90 ✨Price: 3000 RMB/2 people 📍Location: Within a 10-minute walk of all Santa Monica attractions 🛁Stay Experience The host, Mike, was very welcoming and promptly helped us with any problems. He also recommended good local restaurants. The main reason we loved this Airbnb was the living room's window facing the ocean, which was truly beautiful and created a wonderful atmosphere. The room was fully equipped and very clean.

#springtravel The Manor House Terraces "The Manor House sits 150 feet above the valley floor, and the walk up through the seven levels of terraced gardens is a workout but worth it. In 2026, the 'Rose Arbor' was just starting to show its first pink 'New Dawn' roses. From the top, you get a panoramic view of the North Georgia Mountains. It’s the most 'European' part of the estate—very grand and formal."

Enjoy a family long weekend trip to the coastal town of Mendocino, California! Experience the stunning azure coast and mint-colored sea, take the kids to explore the unique coastline, visit gardens and lighthouses, and easily enjoy the seaside charm~ Mendocino boasts a distinctive coastal landscape with its deep blue ocean, mint-colored waters, dramatic cliffs, beautiful seaside gardens, and iconic lighthouse. Spend a relaxing long weekend here with your kids, strolling, eating, sightseeing, feeling the sea breeze, and experiencing California’s coastal romance. The itinerary is easygoing and perfectly paced for children. 📍Must-visit family-friendly spots 1 Point Mendocino Trail A hidden gem trail leading to a natural stone arch by the sea. The trailhead is right at the parking lot, making parking convenient. The arch is on the right after parking. The trail is short and easy, perfect for kids to handle. The coastline here is very special: at noon, the sky and sea are a vivid blue, and near sunset, the light softens and the sea turns mint green. Rolling waves crash against the cliffs, creating a spectacular view! Kids will love watching the sea here and might even spot seals, which makes them super happy. However, the coastal wind can be strong and there’s no shade, so be sure to bring windbreakers and sun protection for the kids. 2 Mendocino Coast Botanical Garden Address: 18220 CA-1, Fort Bragg. This stunning seaside garden is best visited from April to June when most of the rhododendrons bloom. The rhododendron festival is held in June, with hillsides covered in beautiful flowers that kids adore. The garden starts with small plants near the entrance, then you’ll see clusters of rhododendrons in the trees, and further ahead is the sea with unique coastal views. The garden is very large, perfect for spending half a day with kids enjoying flowers and the ocean—super relaxing. 3 Heritage House Resort & Spa A serendipitous treasure spot for ocean views, famous for its mint-colored sea! There’s a small white pavilion in the distance where you can watch mint-green waves crash against the rocks. The breathtaking scenery is hard to describe. There’s a lawn by the sea where kids can run and play, releasing energy—ideal for family photo ops and check-ins. 4 Point Cabrillo Lighthouse Museum Mendocino’s iconic lighthouse with a red roof, lush green lawn, and bright blue sky—a classic red, blue, and green color combo that’s stunning. Touring the lighthouse with kids is fun; inside is a small museum with exhibits about the ocean and lighthouses. You can explain the lighthouse’s purpose to the kids, helping them learn something new. There’s also a gift shop with souvenirs, perfect for picking out a small gift for the kids. 5 Glass Beach Located a bit further north in Fort Bragg, this beach features colorful glass pieces polished smooth by the waves. Kids can dig through the sand to find these colorful glass treasures, like a fun treasure hunt that can keep them entertained for hours. The beach is small but offers a fantastic experience. The colorful glass pieces found can be taken home as souvenirs. 🍴Family-friendly dining recommendations Ledford House: Stop here for a meal on your way back. It offers beautiful views of the distant blue sea. This French restaurant serves exquisite dishes and has a kids’ menu with steak, pasta, and desserts that children love. The service is great, making it perfect for family dining. 💡Family travel tips 1 The coastal wind can be strong, so bring windproof jackets and hats for the kids to protect against the wind; UV rays are strong by the sea, so pack sunscreen and sun hats for sun protection. 2 Wear comfortable sneakers when walking the trails. Some sections have rocks, so be cautious and keep kids away from cliff edges. 3 Bring plenty of drinking water and snacks. Walking in the garden and on trails can be tiring, so having food and drinks on hand helps keep kids energized. 4 For a long weekend trip, 2-3 days is recommended. No need to rush—visit 1-2 attractions per day, focusing on a relaxed pace. Enjoy watching the sea, strolling gardens, and hunting for colorful glass with the kids for a super happy experience.

This time, I took the kids to Vegas and finally included Antelope Canyon in the itinerary! The 10-hour round trip was really tough, but experiencing the charm of nature with the kids made it all worth it, and of course, you have to get great photos! Here are some very important family tips that I hope will help sisters avoid any traps: 1️⃣ Make sure the kids wear proper walking shoes! Absolutely! The park is full of red sand and uneven paths, so kids must wear non-slip sneakers. Avoid flip-flops or sandals to prevent slipping and blisters. 2️⃣ Antelope Canyon can only be visited with a local guide. If you’re with kids, it’s recommended to tip $5-$10 before the tour. Each group has about a dozen people waiting to enter, and you can’t fall behind. We didn’t tip, and the guide kept rushing us, so we barely had time to take photos, and the kids got anxious. Later we learned that tipping slows the guide down and they help find good photo spots, making the experience better with kids. 3️⃣ Antelope Canyon has top lighting, so front-facing photos aren’t ideal most of the time. Try having the kids look up or take parent-child photos from behind. The easiest trick is to have the kids wear sunglasses for better shots. The canyon is narrow, so it’s best to walk at the front or back of the group to avoid crowds and make it easier to take photos and rest with kids. 4️⃣ Family outfit tips: Black, white, or brown colors look best in photos. Parents and kids can coordinate with matching colors for more harmonious family pictures. 5️⃣ Actually, photos inside Antelope Canyon are all pretty similar. The wide-open area outside is much more spacious and there’s no guide rushing you, so you can comfortably take family photos and let the kids run and play freely. 6️⃣ Don’t forget sun protection! The park is very hot, so fully protect the kids with sun-protective clothing, hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen to avoid sunburn. 7️⃣ There are no clean restrooms inside the park, only pit toilets. You can change clothes and freshen up at a clean restroom the guide takes you to beforehand. Bring wet wipes and tissues to keep the kids clean. 8️⃣ Bring enough drinking water and light snacks for the kids. Supplies inside the park are scarce and expensive, so avoid hunger and thirst. 9️⃣ Pack common medicines and band-aids for the kids to handle emergencies like falls or scrapes. Regarding group tours, I did a lot of research because I didn’t want to be packed on a big bus. After reading many posts and checking foreign platforms, 50-person Antelope Canyon tours cost about $200 round trip from Vegas; 14-person business buses are around $250, with fixed hotel pickups—no door-to-door service, and extra fees or early pickups if you’re not at the designated hotels. This time, I found a private small group tour with a business car for up to 5 people at $259. They pick up from all central Vegas hotels and picked us up at 6 AM, saving a lot of time compared to regular tours. The guide was a kind Chinese lady, the car was clean, and they even provided umbrellas, ice water, iced cola, and sunscreen. The kids slept both ways—super comfortable. I really want to recommend it; it’s so good it feels like a secret, but no lies here~ The only regret is there’s no two-day tour option. Otherwise, we could have stayed overnight in Page town and had time to check out the Jennie-style Powell Lake boat tour for a richer experience with the kids. A couple traveling with us didn’t want to go, so we missed out—so regretful~ Next post will be about Horseshoe Bend! It’s insanely photogenic. You can skip Antelope Canyon, but Horseshoe Bend is definitely worth taking the kids to~

Standing under the cherry blossom tree in uniform for the last time. Wearing camouflage and counting over 1,000 sunsets, this time I can finally see the finish line. Counting the days until retirement, the rain we got caught in together, the sleepless nights, the officers we scolded... all have become memories that make me smile. Just like this cherry blossom tree, it should fall when it blooms the fullest. Some things, like camouflage green, will forever be dyed into my life. This is Tacoma Community College, completely empty. You can find angles to take really good photos. The University of Washington is just too crowded; I’ve taken photos there before, and it feels like the flowers there are getting whiter. Photos 2-3 are from Wapato Park; just look for the basketball court and you’ll see many cherry blossom trees.

California’s Mendocino seaside town is perfect for a family long weekend getaway! The blue coast meets the Mint Sea, with unique coastal scenery. Take the kids to visit gardens, see lighthouses, hunt for colorful glass, and explore this lesser-known California coastal gem~ Mendocino doesn’t have the crowds of popular beach cities; it’s quiet and niche, with one-of-a-kind coastal views. The seawater changes color with the light, showing shades of blue and mint. Cliffs, stone arches, lighthouses, gardens—each spot is stunningly beautiful. Bring the kids here to escape city noise, enjoy the sea breeze, and have a relaxing and joyful family long weekend. 📍 Family-Friendly Fun Spots 1 Point Mendocino Trail Take the kids to see the seaside stone arch. The trailhead has a parking lot, making parking easy. The trail is gentle and easy, suitable even for young children. Walk along the trail to enjoy the sea views—the deep blue ocean at noon and the mint-colored sea at sunset are breathtaking. You might even spot seals and seabirds, which kids love. It’s a great chance for kids to get close to marine life and learn. Note: The coastal wind is strong and there’s no shade, so protect the kids from wind and sun, and keep them away from the cliff edges. 2 Mendocino Coast Botanical Garden A stunning garden by the sea, with rhododendrons blooming from April to June, covering the hillsides in vibrant colors. Walk with the kids through the garden, learn about different plants, and teach them about rhododendrons to expand their knowledge. The garden’s far end leads directly to the coast, so you can enjoy both the garden and the sea in one trip. The garden has rest and picnic areas—bring a picnic blanket and enjoy a comfortable family picnic with the kids. 3 Point Cabrillo Lighthouse Museum The iconic red-roofed lighthouse is beautiful. Visit the lighthouse museum with the kids to see historical exhibits and marine specimens, and explain the lighthouse’s role in navigation in a way kids can easily understand. Outside, there’s a large lawn where kids can run, jump, and fly kites to burn off energy. Take family photos on the lawn with the lighthouse and ocean as a stunning backdrop. 4 Glass Beach Start a “treasure hunt” with the kids here by digging in the sand to find colorful glass pieces polished smooth by the waves. Kids love this activity and get excited with every find. The colorful glass pieces are small and delicate, perfect to take home as souvenirs. The sand is fine, so kids can also play and build sandcastles on the beach, which is super fun. Be sure to watch that kids don’t put the glass in their mouths. 5 Heritage House Resort & Spa The best viewpoint of the Mint Sea, with a white gazebo set against the mint-colored ocean—absolutely beautiful. Sit with the kids in the gazebo to watch the sea and feel the breeze, perfect for family photos with a great atmosphere. There are rocks by the shore where kids can look for little crabs and shells, sparking their curiosity. 🍴 Family Dining Highlights Ledford House: French cuisine with ocean views and an amazing vista of the blue sea. They offer a special kids’ menu with pasta, roast chicken, and ice cream—favorites for children. The dishes are exquisite and tasty, with attentive service, making it ideal for family dining. The town also has various American snacks like burgers, fries, and hot dogs, which kids love and are great for casual bites. 💡 Family Long Weekend Travel Tips 1 Transportation: Self-driving is recommended. The town’s attractions are moderately spaced, making driving convenient and hassle-free with kids. Free parking is available at both attractions and in town, making parking very easy. 2 Clothing: The coastal area has big temperature differences between morning and evening, and strong sea winds. Bring windbreakers, light sweaters, and hats for the kids, adjusting layers as needed. Wear comfortable sneakers for easier walking on trails and beaches. 3 Essentials: Pack sunscreen, sun hats, sunglasses, and insect repellent since UV rays are strong by the sea. Bring drinking water, snacks, and fruit to keep kids refreshed while exploring. Also bring small shovels and buckets for kids to play and hunt for treasures at Glass Beach. 4 Timing: Plan 2-3 days, visiting 1-2 attractions per day without rushing. Focus on relaxed family time—watching the sea, strolling gardens, and treasure hunting for a super fun experience.

#springtravel Cherry Blossom Festival (Late March) "The cherry blossoms started around the third week of March this year. The 'Prunus' walk was a tunnel of white and pale pink. It’s a much more 'ephemeral' experience than the daffodils—the petals only last about ten days. Catching the 'Sakura Fubuki' (cherry blossom blizzard) over the ponds was a 2026 highlight. It’s less crowded than the DC Tidal Basin but just as beautiful, with the added bonus of the Georgia mountain backdrop."

Always kept on my dream list✔️ This time, I finally stayed at one of my most wanted Airbnbs with friends: La Cave ~ The Cave Pool House + Spa by Casa Cabin I really love it! It might be my "most beautiful Airbnb in the US" ❤️ The Airbnb is near Joshua Tree National Park, about a 2-hour drive from Los Angeles😆 🔹 Highlights｜Pure white cave pool x Mediterranean desert style 🔹 La Cave is inspired by Cycladic Mediterranean architecture. The most popular spot is definitely the beautiful white cave pool and heated spa outdoors. It's a famous Instagrammable Airbnb😆 The location is great, very private and peaceful, like living inside a magazine. Soaking in the hot spring in the desert and stargazing at night is truly amazing😆 The interior uses earthy tones and natural materials, perfectly blending with the surrounding nature. The white arched walls create different light and shadow effects with the sunlight, visually and spiritually very healing🏊‍♀️ Every corner looks like a painting, full of healing and beauty👍🔥 There’s also a cozy fireplace corner in the living room and custom furniture, giving a great sense of lifestyle🥰 🍝 This time, I came to Joshua Tree with friends to relax, cook pasta together, soak in the pool, and take beautiful photos😆 At night, we gathered around the fire pit chatting and stargazing, the atmosphere was perfect💯 📷 Photo tips: Be sure to capture the white walls against the blue sky, pool reflections, arch structures, and the cozy fire pit ambiance at night. Every shot looks amazing. 🚗 Travel tips & reminders It’s best to drive a 4WD vehicle, as the last stretch is a dirt road🤣 Remember not to wash your car before coming because it will quickly get dusty XD There are no convenience stores nearby, so it’s recommended to buy groceries in Los Angeles or Palm Springs in advance

#mytripvlog When people take a road trip, traveling between Los Angeles and Las Vegas along Interstate 15, the colorful installation art will catch travelers' eyes when passing through desert landscapes. About 10 miles south of Las Vegas, the Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone decided on the location to present his large-scale public art to brighten the Mojave desert day and night.

#falladventures The open road stretches out like a ribbon, unspooling into a tunnel of light and color. Flanking the pavement, massive oak and maple trees have shed their summer robes for the splendor of autumn's gold and scarlet. Driving this stretch feels like passing through a kaleidoscope, where every bend reveals a new, intensified wash of color. The asphalt is flecked with sun-dried leaves, crunching beneath the tires, a satisfying counterpoint to the hum of the engine. This is the ultimate autumn drive, a journey for the soul as much as the car, urging you onward toward a cozy, welcoming destination, perhaps a quiet cabin or a familiar hearth. • #autumndrive • #fallroadtrip • #goldentunnel • #leafpeeping • #roadsidebeauty • #openroad • #driveinfall

Let me say this without exaggeration... This place is not just an amusement park; it’s a whole new world—a world filled with imagination, laughter, and tangible happiness 🥹💖 🚪 The moment you step in… Disney music fills the air, the scent of treats wafts by, accompanied by a gentle breeze and warm sunlight. It feels like the outside world disappears, and you’re fully immersed in a Disney movie 🎬 🏰 Seeing Sleeping Beauty’s Castle for the first time: I didn’t cry… but my eyes got teary 😭. It’s like stepping into the scenes I used to watch as a child, but now I’m actually walking into them. 🎢 Top 3 rides to recommend: 1. Indiana Jones Adventure – It feels like you’re dodging traps in the movie. So thrilling! 2. Haunted Mansion – Spooky but adorable! Disney ghosts aren’t scary, but the design is so stunning it gives you chills. 3. Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run – A dream come true for Star Wars fans 🚀🌌 🍽️ Food is another highlight of the trip: • Turkey Leg 🦃: It’s massive! No way you can finish it alone. • Mickey-shaped Pretzel: A must-try! Eat, take a photo, and eat some more. • Churros with cinnamon aroma: Perfect for snacking all day long. 🎆 Ending the day with the Disney Fireworks Show: I teared up without shame. The music, lights, and Walt Disney’s words at the end made me feel that "dreams" always hold power as long as we don’t forget them. 💬 Summary of the Disneyland California trip: This place is not just an amusement park… It’s a space where you can reconnect with the version of yourself that believes in magic. No one will think you’re crazy if you get excited about princesses or dance to the music in the streets. Because everyone at Disneyland… comes to "believe in something beautiful" together 💫

#springtravel Final Verdict: A Georgia Treasure "Is Gibbs Gardens worth the drive in Spring 2026? Absolutely. It is the premier floral destination in the Southeast. Between the 20 million daffodils and the world-class Japanese garden, it offers a scale of beauty that is unmatched. It’s a place that makes you proud of Georgia’s natural beauty. 10/10—plan to spend the whole day."

If spring comes to Seattle, be sure to dedicate a day to the University of Washington (UW). The cherry blossoms here are not just "beautiful," but the kind that quietly calm you down as soon as you step in. Spring in Seattle always arrives with restraint. Overcast skies, a gentle breeze, occasional rays of sunshine, and the cherry blossoms quietly bloom all over the campus in this understated weather. The must-visit spot is UW’s most iconic Quad lawn. It is surrounded by a circle of century-old Yoshino cherry trees, which reach their peak bloom for just a short one to two weeks each year. When the flowers bloom, the entire sky turns a soft pink and white, and when the wind blows, it feels like cherry blossom rain. 📍Best Viewing Time Usually from mid to late March to early April, with slight variations each year. It’s recommended to check the real-time bloom status before you go. This year, March 20th marked the peak bloom. 👉 Tips: To capture photos with "fewer people + good lighting," try to arrive before 8 AM or about an hour before sunset. Midday tends to be very crowded, basically a sea of people. 📸 Photo Spot Recommendations (Tested and Proven) ✔ Lawn Central Axis: Stand in the center and shoot to both sides; the cherry blossoms form an arch, creating a very atmospheric scene. ✔ Teaching Building Archway Corridor: View the cherry blossoms through the old architecture for a cinematic feel. ✔ Upward Shot of Cherry Blossoms: Lie on the grass and shoot upward for a clean and romantic background. ✔ Cherry Blossoms + Portraits: It’s recommended to wear light or solid colors (white, beige, light blue) for a cleaner look. 🚶‍♀️ Convenient Route (No Backtracking) 👉 Quad (Cherry Blossom Core Area) → Suzzallo Library (Harry Potter-style library atmosphere) → Red Square → University of Washington Dock (pleasant lakeside walk) This route covers the essence of UW and takes about 2–3 hours, just right. ☕️ Useful Cherry Blossom Viewing Tips 1️⃣ Parking on campus is inconvenient; public transportation or taxis are recommended. 2️⃣ You can sit on the lawn, but try not to step on the flower root areas. 3️⃣ Seattle’s weather changes quickly; bring a jacket. 4️⃣ For video shooting, a breezy day is best (it captures the feeling of falling cherry blossoms). 🌿 A Bit of Real Feeling Compared to Japan’s grand cherry blossom season, UW feels like a "just right spring." It’s not commercialized or deliberately lively. You sit on the grass, watch students daydream, chat, and bask in the sun, while cherry blossoms gently fall—that moment makes you feel this city is actually very gentle. If you happen to be in Seattle, it’s really worth spending a whole morning here. Not just to check it off your list, but to truly feel spring itself.

#mustvisitattractions In a city full of theme parks, Universal Epic Universe stands out because of its commitment to total immersion. You don't just "see" these worlds; you live in them.

Everyone knows about the Alamo when they come to San Antonio, but this time I want to share a quieter, super photogenic place with a rich historical value — Mission San Juan. It is part of the San Antonio Missions, a group of missions (including Concepción, San José, San Juan, Espada, and the Alamo) that were designated as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site in 2015. The key point: They are the only World Heritage sites in Texas! Super impressive. ⛪ Mission San Juan is small but very comfortable San Juan was built in 1731 and retains a very rustic look: white church walls, low stone walls, old trees, and green lawns covering the entire courtyard. When you walk in, you feel, "Wow, this is so peaceful." Unlike the very crowded Mission San José, San Juan is truly a place where you can take a slow walk and daydream. 📸 Photography tips (really, any shot looks great) Wooden doors, cracks in stone walls, and shadows of old trees all make great compositions, naturally adding an atmospheric filter. It’s perfect for a literary or light travel vibe. Earth-tone clothes stand out beautifully against the background, making your photos pop. The afternoon light is the softest, making it easy to capture a beautiful, dreamy feel. 🌿 A little reflection: San Juan has a vibe that makes you happy when you slow down Although it’s not the largest or most popular mission, it’s my personal favorite. There’s no noise, no rush, just a slow walk, casual photos, and enjoying nature and old architecture. It really helps you relax. ✨Tips: Free admission and parking is easy. If you have time, you can visit the other nearby missions as well, making for a complete “Texas World Heritage walking route.” ⛪️Mission San Juan 📍 9101 Graf Rd, San Antonio, TX 78214, USA Mission San Juan Capistrano

🇺🇸 Flying to Orlando to check off the Disney bucket list, how much did the 7-day, 4-night trip cost? Do you dream of conquering all the Disneylands around the world? 👀 I have a bucket list to visit every Disneyland and Universal Studios worldwide, so I recently traveled to Orlando! With a tight schedule, I managed to visit 7 parks in 4 days—a massive challenge. Let me share the costs with you! 💰 ❶ Flight tickets: 1,840,000 KRW (*departing from Canada) • Toronto-Orlando via Air Canada: 400,000 KRW • Orlando-Incheon via Delta Airlines: 1,440,000 KRW ❷ Accommodation: 520,000 KRW • Disney All-Star Movies Resort for 4 nights ❸ Admission tickets: 1,750,000 KRW • Disney World Park Hopper 2-day pass • Universal Studios 2-Day 3-Park admission • Universal Express Ticket for 3 parks ❹ Food: 280,000 KRW (Uber Eats, snacks, meals included) ❺ Transportation: 90,000 KRW (Mears Connect, Lyft) ❻ Miscellaneous: 60,000 KRW (souvenirs, locker rentals, etc.) 💰 Total: approximately 4,500,000 KRW per person!

Without the hustle and bustle of midsummer, this waterside oasis supported by 280 "concrete tulips" feels especially cool and sophisticated in the cold winds of the Hudson River. Take advantage of the fewer tourists and quickly collect this unique tranquility and romance of December. 📸 Winter-Exclusive Photo Spots Don’t think winter means bleakness; the evergreen plants here, nestled within the unique steel framework, create a design-rich three-dimensional oasis. These spots will make every shot cover-worthy: · 🌉 The Overlook (Horseshoe-Shaped Viewing Platform) · Highlight: Cantilevered over the river, facing the Lower Manhattan skyline. · Winter Tip: After 3 PM, the setting sun bathes the city’s cool-toned glass facades in gold, creating a stunning warm-cool contrast. · 🪨 Wavy Wooden Boardwalk · Highlight: A genius design by architect Thomas Heatherwick, with strong linear aesthetics. · Winter Tip: With leaves fallen, the geometric beauty of the structure is fully revealed. Wear a bright coat to maximize the atmosphere. · 💡 Nighttime Light Trail · Highlight: After dark, embedded LED ground lights turn the walkway into a flowing band of light. · Winter Tip: It gets dark early in winter, so around 4:30 PM you can capture the magical Blue Hour, where city lights and ground lights shine together. 🚶 Efficient Winter Walking Route (1-2 Hour Highlights) As a small park, visiting in winter can follow an “indoor-outdoor-indoor” rhythm to stay warm and enjoy fully. Route: Enter from the south entrance → head straight to The Overlook → stroll along the west side wavy boardwalk → cross the central hill → briefly stop at the open-air theater → exit from the north side, seamlessly connecting to Chelsea Market for warmth and food. 📍 Transportation Tips · Subway: A/C/E/L lines to 14th St/8th Ave; 1/2/3 lines to 14th St/7th Ave; F/M lines to 14th St/6th Ave. · Walking: Recommended to walk along Hudson River Park from the subway station; the scenery along the way is excellent. 💡 Final Tips 1. Warmth is key: It’s windy by the river, so hats, gloves, and warm shoes are more important than looking good. 2. Catch the golden hours: Arrive in the afternoon before sunset to enjoy daytime, sunset, and nighttime views all at once. 3. Keep your expectations: Winter at Little Island is calm and sparse with a Nordic vibe, a completely different flavor from the blooming spring and summer.

#springtravel They say if you can make it in New York City, you can make it anywhere. The city stands as the ultimate symbol of ambition, opportunity, and the timeless American Dream. But here’s the truth many travelers discover: the best way to experience New York isn’t by following a strict itinerary—it’s by letting the city write your story. Walk through the endless energy of Manhattan and you’ll quickly realize that magic happens in the unplanned moments. One minute you’re enjoying the calm green escape of Central Park, and the next you’re standing beneath the electrifying lights of Times Square. Cross the legendary Brooklyn Bridge at sunset, watch the skyline glow, and feel the pulse of a city that inspires millions. New York teaches travelers that dreams don’t always follow a schedule. Sometimes the best adventure is wandering through neighborhoods, discovering hidden cafés, street performances, rooftop views, and unforgettable city stories along the way. In the city that never sleeps, the ultimate American dream is simply living the moment. ✨ Travel Tips for Your NYC Adventure 🚇 Transportation: Use the subway and walk—NYC’s public transit connects every major neighborhood. 🌤 Best Time to Travel: April–June and September–October offer pleasant weather for exploring. 📍 Must-Visit Hot Spots: • Central Park • Times Square • Brooklyn Bridge • Statue of Liberty • High Line 🗓 Suggested “No-Itinerary” Day: Morning coffee in Manhattan → Central Park stroll → SoHo wandering → sunset Brooklyn Bridge → spontaneous dinner in Chinatown. 🌟 Do’s & Don’ts: • Do explore beyond the main tourist spots. • Do try iconic NYC foods like pizza and bagels. • Do keep your camera ready. • Don’t rush through the city. • Don’t overplan every moment. #newyorkcity #americandream #nyctravel #concretejungle #wanderlust 🗽✨

🚖Transportation: Our starting point is near Hollywood Hills. I recommend leaving around 9 am; it takes about 30-45 minutes to get there. 🚇Subway: If you don't have a car, you can take the Los Angeles Metro Line E. The last stop is Santa Monica Station, about a 10-minute walk from the station. 1️⃣ Stop: 3rd Street Pedestrian Street This is a pedestrian street in downtown Santa Monica. After parking, you can start exploring. This roughly one-kilometer-long pedestrian area has many well-known restaurants, bookstores, cafes, and handicraft shops, along with wonderful street musicians. The atmosphere is fantastic, and I recommend having lunch here. 2️⃣ Stop: Santa Monica Beach After lunch, head straight to the beach. This is one of the closest beaches to Los Angeles, so it's very crowded. Compared to other beaches, it's safer here, so you can play with peace of mind. 3️⃣ Stop: Santa Monica Pier Around sunset, be sure to rush to Santa Monica! Pier, this was the stop I was most looking forward to. Santa Monica Pier was built in 1909. The Route 66 terminus sign at the pier entrance is perfect for capturing the California atmosphere. Besides the sunset views, the pier also boasts classic attractions like a Ferris wheel and roller coaster. The roller coaster costs $15 for two rides, and the colors of the sky and the lights at sunset create a truly magical atmosphere! 🍴Dinner For dinner, I chose a seafood restaurant on the pier called The Albright. The seafood was very fresh, and the lobster rolls and fish and chips were delicious. You can enjoy dinner while watching the sunset. The average price per person is around $40! -🏠Airbnb Although we could have returned to Los Angeles immediately after dinner, we decided to stay overnight by the sea and found an Airbnb near Santa Monica Beach. ✨Name: Panoramic Ocean View with Balcony & Cal King Bed ✨Rating: 4.90 ✨Price: 3000 RMB/2 people 📍Location: Within a 10-minute walk of all Santa Monica attractions 🛁Stay Experience The host, Mike, was very welcoming and promptly helped us with any problems. He also recommended good local restaurants. The main reason we loved this Airbnb was the living room's window facing the ocean, which was truly beautiful and created a wonderful atmosphere. The room was fully equipped and very clean.

#springtravel The Manor House Terraces "The Manor House sits 150 feet above the valley floor, and the walk up through the seven levels of terraced gardens is a workout but worth it. In 2026, the 'Rose Arbor' was just starting to show its first pink 'New Dawn' roses. From the top, you get a panoramic view of the North Georgia Mountains. It’s the most 'European' part of the estate—very grand and formal."

Enjoy a family long weekend trip to the coastal town of Mendocino, California! Experience the stunning azure coast and mint-colored sea, take the kids to explore the unique coastline, visit gardens and lighthouses, and easily enjoy the seaside charm~ Mendocino boasts a distinctive coastal landscape with its deep blue ocean, mint-colored waters, dramatic cliffs, beautiful seaside gardens, and iconic lighthouse. Spend a relaxing long weekend here with your kids, strolling, eating, sightseeing, feeling the sea breeze, and experiencing California’s coastal romance. The itinerary is easygoing and perfectly paced for children. 📍Must-visit family-friendly spots 1 Point Mendocino Trail A hidden gem trail leading to a natural stone arch by the sea. The trailhead is right at the parking lot, making parking convenient. The arch is on the right after parking. The trail is short and easy, perfect for kids to handle. The coastline here is very special: at noon, the sky and sea are a vivid blue, and near sunset, the light softens and the sea turns mint green. Rolling waves crash against the cliffs, creating a spectacular view! Kids will love watching the sea here and might even spot seals, which makes them super happy. However, the coastal wind can be strong and there’s no shade, so be sure to bring windbreakers and sun protection for the kids. 2 Mendocino Coast Botanical Garden Address: 18220 CA-1, Fort Bragg. This stunning seaside garden is best visited from April to June when most of the rhododendrons bloom. The rhododendron festival is held in June, with hillsides covered in beautiful flowers that kids adore. The garden starts with small plants near the entrance, then you’ll see clusters of rhododendrons in the trees, and further ahead is the sea with unique coastal views. The garden is very large, perfect for spending half a day with kids enjoying flowers and the ocean—super relaxing. 3 Heritage House Resort & Spa A serendipitous treasure spot for ocean views, famous for its mint-colored sea! There’s a small white pavilion in the distance where you can watch mint-green waves crash against the rocks. The breathtaking scenery is hard to describe. There’s a lawn by the sea where kids can run and play, releasing energy—ideal for family photo ops and check-ins. 4 Point Cabrillo Lighthouse Museum Mendocino’s iconic lighthouse with a red roof, lush green lawn, and bright blue sky—a classic red, blue, and green color combo that’s stunning. Touring the lighthouse with kids is fun; inside is a small museum with exhibits about the ocean and lighthouses. You can explain the lighthouse’s purpose to the kids, helping them learn something new. There’s also a gift shop with souvenirs, perfect for picking out a small gift for the kids. 5 Glass Beach Located a bit further north in Fort Bragg, this beach features colorful glass pieces polished smooth by the waves. Kids can dig through the sand to find these colorful glass treasures, like a fun treasure hunt that can keep them entertained for hours. The beach is small but offers a fantastic experience. The colorful glass pieces found can be taken home as souvenirs. 🍴Family-friendly dining recommendations Ledford House: Stop here for a meal on your way back. It offers beautiful views of the distant blue sea. This French restaurant serves exquisite dishes and has a kids’ menu with steak, pasta, and desserts that children love. The service is great, making it perfect for family dining. 💡Family travel tips 1 The coastal wind can be strong, so bring windproof jackets and hats for the kids to protect against the wind; UV rays are strong by the sea, so pack sunscreen and sun hats for sun protection. 2 Wear comfortable sneakers when walking the trails. Some sections have rocks, so be cautious and keep kids away from cliff edges. 3 Bring plenty of drinking water and snacks. Walking in the garden and on trails can be tiring, so having food and drinks on hand helps keep kids energized. 4 For a long weekend trip, 2-3 days is recommended. No need to rush—visit 1-2 attractions per day, focusing on a relaxed pace. Enjoy watching the sea, strolling gardens, and hunting for colorful glass with the kids for a super happy experience.

This time, I took the kids to Vegas and finally included Antelope Canyon in the itinerary! The 10-hour round trip was really tough, but experiencing the charm of nature with the kids made it all worth it, and of course, you have to get great photos! Here are some very important family tips that I hope will help sisters avoid any traps: 1️⃣ Make sure the kids wear proper walking shoes! Absolutely! The park is full of red sand and uneven paths, so kids must wear non-slip sneakers. Avoid flip-flops or sandals to prevent slipping and blisters. 2️⃣ Antelope Canyon can only be visited with a local guide. If you’re with kids, it’s recommended to tip $5-$10 before the tour. Each group has about a dozen people waiting to enter, and you can’t fall behind. We didn’t tip, and the guide kept rushing us, so we barely had time to take photos, and the kids got anxious. Later we learned that tipping slows the guide down and they help find good photo spots, making the experience better with kids. 3️⃣ Antelope Canyon has top lighting, so front-facing photos aren’t ideal most of the time. Try having the kids look up or take parent-child photos from behind. The easiest trick is to have the kids wear sunglasses for better shots. The canyon is narrow, so it’s best to walk at the front or back of the group to avoid crowds and make it easier to take photos and rest with kids. 4️⃣ Family outfit tips: Black, white, or brown colors look best in photos. Parents and kids can coordinate with matching colors for more harmonious family pictures. 5️⃣ Actually, photos inside Antelope Canyon are all pretty similar. The wide-open area outside is much more spacious and there’s no guide rushing you, so you can comfortably take family photos and let the kids run and play freely. 6️⃣ Don’t forget sun protection! The park is very hot, so fully protect the kids with sun-protective clothing, hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen to avoid sunburn. 7️⃣ There are no clean restrooms inside the park, only pit toilets. You can change clothes and freshen up at a clean restroom the guide takes you to beforehand. Bring wet wipes and tissues to keep the kids clean. 8️⃣ Bring enough drinking water and light snacks for the kids. Supplies inside the park are scarce and expensive, so avoid hunger and thirst. 9️⃣ Pack common medicines and band-aids for the kids to handle emergencies like falls or scrapes. Regarding group tours, I did a lot of research because I didn’t want to be packed on a big bus. After reading many posts and checking foreign platforms, 50-person Antelope Canyon tours cost about $200 round trip from Vegas; 14-person business buses are around $250, with fixed hotel pickups—no door-to-door service, and extra fees or early pickups if you’re not at the designated hotels. This time, I found a private small group tour with a business car for up to 5 people at $259. They pick up from all central Vegas hotels and picked us up at 6 AM, saving a lot of time compared to regular tours. The guide was a kind Chinese lady, the car was clean, and they even provided umbrellas, ice water, iced cola, and sunscreen. The kids slept both ways—super comfortable. I really want to recommend it; it’s so good it feels like a secret, but no lies here~ The only regret is there’s no two-day tour option. Otherwise, we could have stayed overnight in Page town and had time to check out the Jennie-style Powell Lake boat tour for a richer experience with the kids. A couple traveling with us didn’t want to go, so we missed out—so regretful~ Next post will be about Horseshoe Bend! It’s insanely photogenic. You can skip Antelope Canyon, but Horseshoe Bend is definitely worth taking the kids to~

Standing under the cherry blossom tree in uniform for the last time. Wearing camouflage and counting over 1,000 sunsets, this time I can finally see the finish line. Counting the days until retirement, the rain we got caught in together, the sleepless nights, the officers we scolded... all have become memories that make me smile. Just like this cherry blossom tree, it should fall when it blooms the fullest. Some things, like camouflage green, will forever be dyed into my life. This is Tacoma Community College, completely empty. You can find angles to take really good photos. The University of Washington is just too crowded; I’ve taken photos there before, and it feels like the flowers there are getting whiter. Photos 2-3 are from Wapato Park; just look for the basketball court and you’ll see many cherry blossom trees.

California’s Mendocino seaside town is perfect for a family long weekend getaway! The blue coast meets the Mint Sea, with unique coastal scenery. Take the kids to visit gardens, see lighthouses, hunt for colorful glass, and explore this lesser-known California coastal gem~ Mendocino doesn’t have the crowds of popular beach cities; it’s quiet and niche, with one-of-a-kind coastal views. The seawater changes color with the light, showing shades of blue and mint. Cliffs, stone arches, lighthouses, gardens—each spot is stunningly beautiful. Bring the kids here to escape city noise, enjoy the sea breeze, and have a relaxing and joyful family long weekend. 📍 Family-Friendly Fun Spots 1 Point Mendocino Trail Take the kids to see the seaside stone arch. The trailhead has a parking lot, making parking easy. The trail is gentle and easy, suitable even for young children. Walk along the trail to enjoy the sea views—the deep blue ocean at noon and the mint-colored sea at sunset are breathtaking. You might even spot seals and seabirds, which kids love. It’s a great chance for kids to get close to marine life and learn. Note: The coastal wind is strong and there’s no shade, so protect the kids from wind and sun, and keep them away from the cliff edges. 2 Mendocino Coast Botanical Garden A stunning garden by the sea, with rhododendrons blooming from April to June, covering the hillsides in vibrant colors. Walk with the kids through the garden, learn about different plants, and teach them about rhododendrons to expand their knowledge. The garden’s far end leads directly to the coast, so you can enjoy both the garden and the sea in one trip. The garden has rest and picnic areas—bring a picnic blanket and enjoy a comfortable family picnic with the kids. 3 Point Cabrillo Lighthouse Museum The iconic red-roofed lighthouse is beautiful. Visit the lighthouse museum with the kids to see historical exhibits and marine specimens, and explain the lighthouse’s role in navigation in a way kids can easily understand. Outside, there’s a large lawn where kids can run, jump, and fly kites to burn off energy. Take family photos on the lawn with the lighthouse and ocean as a stunning backdrop. 4 Glass Beach Start a “treasure hunt” with the kids here by digging in the sand to find colorful glass pieces polished smooth by the waves. Kids love this activity and get excited with every find. The colorful glass pieces are small and delicate, perfect to take home as souvenirs. The sand is fine, so kids can also play and build sandcastles on the beach, which is super fun. Be sure to watch that kids don’t put the glass in their mouths. 5 Heritage House Resort & Spa The best viewpoint of the Mint Sea, with a white gazebo set against the mint-colored ocean—absolutely beautiful. Sit with the kids in the gazebo to watch the sea and feel the breeze, perfect for family photos with a great atmosphere. There are rocks by the shore where kids can look for little crabs and shells, sparking their curiosity. 🍴 Family Dining Highlights Ledford House: French cuisine with ocean views and an amazing vista of the blue sea. They offer a special kids’ menu with pasta, roast chicken, and ice cream—favorites for children. The dishes are exquisite and tasty, with attentive service, making it ideal for family dining. The town also has various American snacks like burgers, fries, and hot dogs, which kids love and are great for casual bites. 💡 Family Long Weekend Travel Tips 1 Transportation: Self-driving is recommended. The town’s attractions are moderately spaced, making driving convenient and hassle-free with kids. Free parking is available at both attractions and in town, making parking very easy. 2 Clothing: The coastal area has big temperature differences between morning and evening, and strong sea winds. Bring windbreakers, light sweaters, and hats for the kids, adjusting layers as needed. Wear comfortable sneakers for easier walking on trails and beaches. 3 Essentials: Pack sunscreen, sun hats, sunglasses, and insect repellent since UV rays are strong by the sea. Bring drinking water, snacks, and fruit to keep kids refreshed while exploring. Also bring small shovels and buckets for kids to play and hunt for treasures at Glass Beach. 4 Timing: Plan 2-3 days, visiting 1-2 attractions per day without rushing. Focus on relaxed family time—watching the sea, strolling gardens, and treasure hunting for a super fun experience.

#springtravel Cherry Blossom Festival (Late March) "The cherry blossoms started around the third week of March this year. The 'Prunus' walk was a tunnel of white and pale pink. It’s a much more 'ephemeral' experience than the daffodils—the petals only last about ten days. Catching the 'Sakura Fubuki' (cherry blossom blizzard) over the ponds was a 2026 highlight. It’s less crowded than the DC Tidal Basin but just as beautiful, with the added bonus of the Georgia mountain backdrop."

Always kept on my dream list✔️ This time, I finally stayed at one of my most wanted Airbnbs with friends: La Cave ~ The Cave Pool House + Spa by Casa Cabin I really love it! It might be my "most beautiful Airbnb in the US" ❤️ The Airbnb is near Joshua Tree National Park, about a 2-hour drive from Los Angeles😆 🔹 Highlights｜Pure white cave pool x Mediterranean desert style 🔹 La Cave is inspired by Cycladic Mediterranean architecture. The most popular spot is definitely the beautiful white cave pool and heated spa outdoors. It's a famous Instagrammable Airbnb😆 The location is great, very private and peaceful, like living inside a magazine. Soaking in the hot spring in the desert and stargazing at night is truly amazing😆 The interior uses earthy tones and natural materials, perfectly blending with the surrounding nature.

Every shot looks amazing. 🚗 Travel tips & reminders It’s best to drive a 4WD vehicle, as the last stretch is a dirt road🤣 Remember not to wash your car before coming because it will quickly get dusty XD There are no convenience stores nearby, so it’s recommended to buy groceries in Los Angeles or Palm Springs in advance

#mytripvlog When people take a road trip, traveling between Los Angeles and Las Vegas along Interstate 15, the colorful installation art will catch travelers' eyes when passing through desert landscapes. About 10 miles south of Las Vegas, the Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone decided on the location to present his large-scale public art to brighten the Mojave desert day and night.

#falladventures The open road stretches out like a ribbon, unspooling into a tunnel of light and color. Flanking the pavement, massive oak and maple trees have shed their summer robes for the splendor of autumn's gold and scarlet. Driving this stretch feels like passing through a kaleidoscope, where every bend reveals a new, intensified wash of color. The asphalt is flecked with sun-dried leaves, crunching beneath the tires, a satisfying counterpoint to the hum of the engine. This is the ultimate autumn drive, a journey for the soul as much as the car, urging you onward toward a cozy, welcoming destination, perhaps a quiet cabin or a familiar hearth. • #autumndrive • #fallroadtrip • #goldentunnel • #leafpeeping • #roadsidebeauty • #openroad • #driveinfall

Let me say this without exaggeration... This place is not just an amusement park; it’s a whole new world—a world filled with imagination, laughter, and tangible happiness 🥹💖 🚪 The moment you step in… Disney music fills the air, the scent of treats wafts by, accompanied by a gentle breeze and warm sunlight. It feels like the outside world disappears, and you’re fully immersed in a Disney movie 🎬 🏰 Seeing Sleeping Beauty’s Castle for the first time: I didn’t cry… but my eyes got teary 😭. It’s like stepping into the scenes I used to watch as a child, but now I’m actually walking into them. 🎢 Top 3 rides to recommend: 1. Indiana Jones Adventure – It feels like you’re dodging traps in the movie. So thrilling! 2. Haunted Mansion – Spooky but adorable! Disney ghosts aren’t scary, but the design is so stunning it gives you chills. 3.

No one will think you’re crazy if you get excited about princesses or dance to the music in the streets. Because everyone at Disneyland… comes to "believe in something beautiful" together 💫

It’s a place that makes you proud of Georgia’s natural beauty. 10/10—plan to spend the whole day."

If spring comes to Seattle, be sure to dedicate a day to the University of Washington (UW). The cherry blossoms here are not just "beautiful," but the kind that quietly calm you down as soon as you step in. Spring in Seattle always arrives with restraint. Overcast skies, a gentle breeze, occasional rays of sunshine, and the cherry blossoms quietly bloom all over the campus in this understated weather. The must-visit spot is UW’s most iconic Quad lawn. It is surrounded by a circle of century-old Yoshino cherry trees, which reach their peak bloom for just a short one to two weeks each year. When the flowers bloom, the entire sky turns a soft pink and white, and when the wind blows, it feels like cherry blossom rain. 📍Best Viewing Time Usually from mid to late March to early April, with slight variations each year. It’s recommended to check the real-time bloom status before you go. This year, March 20th marked the peak bloom. 👉 Tips: To capture photos with "fewer people + good lighting," try to arrive before 8 AM or about an hour before sunset. Midday tends to be very crowded, basically a sea of people. 📸 Photo Spot Recommendations (Tested and Proven) ✔ Lawn Central Axis: Stand in the center and shoot to both sides; the cherry blossoms form an arch, creating a very atmospheric scene. ✔ Teaching Building Archway Corridor: View the cherry blossoms through the old architecture for a cinematic feel. ✔ Upward Shot of Cherry Blossoms: Lie on the grass and shoot upward for a clean and romantic background. ✔ Cherry Blossoms + Portraits: It’s recommended to wear light or solid colors (white, beige, light blue) for a cleaner look. 🚶‍♀️ Convenient Route (No Backtracking) 👉 Quad (Cherry Blossom Core Area) → Suzzallo Library (Harry Potter-style library atmosphere) → Red Square → University of Washington Dock (pleasant lakeside walk) This route covers the essence of UW and takes about 2–3 hours, just right. ☕️ Useful Cherry Blossom Viewing Tips 1️⃣ Parking on campus is inconvenient; public transportation or taxis are recommended. 2️⃣ You can sit on the lawn, but try not to step on the flower root areas. 3️⃣ Seattle’s weather changes quickly; bring a jacket. 4️⃣ For video shooting, a breezy day is best (it captures the feeling of falling cherry blossoms). 🌿 A Bit of Real Feeling Compared to Japan’s grand cherry blossom season, UW feels like a "just right spring." It’s not commercialized or deliberately lively. You sit on the grass, watch students daydream, chat, and bask in the sun, while cherry blossoms gently fall—that moment makes you feel this city is actually very gentle. If you happen to be in Seattle, it’s really worth spending a whole morning here. Not just to check it off your list, but to truly feel spring itself.

Everyone knows about the Alamo when they come to San Antonio, but this time I want to share a quieter, super photogenic place with a rich historical value — Mission San Juan. It is part of the San Antonio Missions, a group of missions (including Concepción, San José, San Juan, Espada, and the Alamo) that were designated as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site in 2015. The key point: They are the only World Heritage sites in Texas! Super impressive. ⛪ Mission San Juan is small but very comfortable San Juan was built in 1731 and retains a very rustic look: white church walls, low stone walls, old trees, and green lawns covering the entire courtyard. When you walk in, you feel, "Wow, this is so peaceful." Unlike the very crowded Mission San José, San Juan is truly a place where you can take a slow walk and daydream. 📸 Photography tips (really, any shot looks great) Wooden doors, cracks in stone walls, and shadows of old trees all make great compositions, naturally adding an atmospheric filter. It’s perfect for a literary or light travel vibe. Earth-tone clothes stand out beautifully against the background, making your photos pop. The afternoon light is the softest, making it easy to capture a beautiful, dreamy feel. 🌿 A little reflection: San Juan has a vibe that makes you happy when you slow down Although it’s not the largest or most popular mission, it’s my personal favorite. There’s no noise, no rush, just a slow walk, casual photos, and enjoying nature and old architecture. It really helps you relax. ✨Tips: Free admission and parking is easy. If you have time, you can visit the other nearby missions as well, making for a complete “Texas World Heritage walking route.” ⛪️Mission San Juan 📍 9101 Graf Rd, San Antonio, TX 78214, USA Mission San Juan Capistrano

🇺🇸 Flying to Orlando to check off the Disney bucket list, how much did the 7-day, 4-night trip cost? Do you dream of conquering all the Disneylands around the world? 👀 I have a bucket list to visit every Disneyland and Universal Studios worldwide, so I recently traveled to Orlando! With a tight schedule, I managed to visit 7 parks in 4 days—a massive challenge. Let me share the costs with you! 💰 ❶ Flight tickets: 1,840,000 KRW (*departing from Canada) • Toronto-Orlando via Air Canada: 400,000 KRW • Orlando-Incheon via Delta Airlines: 1,440,000 KRW ❷ Accommodation: 520,000 KRW • Disney All-Star Movies Resort for 4 nights ❸ Admission tickets: 1,750,000 KRW • Disney World Park Hopper 2-day pass • Universal Studios 2-Day 3-Park admission • Universal Express Ticket for 3 parks ❹ Food: 280,000 KRW (Uber Eats, snacks, meals included) ❺ Transportation: 90,000 KRW (Mears Connect, Lyft) ❻ Miscellaneous: 60,000 KRW (souvenirs, locker rentals, etc.) 💰 Total: approximately 4,500,000 KRW per person! Currently, there are no direct flights from Incheon to Orlando, and with the high exchange rates, traveling to Orlando requires solid preparation 🥹. The admission tickets for Orlando’s Disney World and Universal Studios are also more expensive compared to other countries. Still, it was a once-in-a-lifetime dream destination, so no regrets! I hope this helps those who dream of visiting all the Disneylands like me ♥️ Happily Ever After…🤍 📍Orlando, USA Follow @min9ooram for more stories about my Orlando theme park adventure 🕊️

#mytripvlog Architecture with glamours, stunning Mediterranean styles, and full of Spanish Colonial revival details, Balboa Park in San Diego is an iconic, historic urban culture park. As well known as Gardens, museums, theatres, and the San Diego Zoo, it's a park full of artistic and unique cultures. To get there, be prepared with comfortable shoes for walking and sunblock to prevent sunburns and spend your all-day enjoyment there.

Without the hustle and bustle of midsummer, this waterside oasis supported by 280 "concrete tulips" feels especially cool and sophisticated in the cold winds of the Hudson River. Take advantage of the fewer tourists and quickly collect this unique tranquility and romance of December. 📸 Winter-Exclusive Photo Spots Don’t think winter means bleakness; the evergreen plants here, nestled within the unique steel framework, create a design-rich three-dimensional oasis. These spots will make every shot cover-worthy: · 🌉 The Overlook (Horseshoe-Shaped Viewing Platform) · Highlight: Cantilevered over the river, facing the Lower Manhattan skyline. · Winter Tip: After 3 PM, the setting sun bathes the city’s cool-toned glass facades in gold, creating a stunning warm-cool contrast. · 🪨 Wavy Wooden Boardwalk · Highlight: A genius design by architect Thomas Heatherwick, with strong linear aesthetics. · Winter Tip: With leaves fallen, the geometric beauty of the structure is fully revealed. Wear a bright coat to maximize the atmosphere. · 💡 Nighttime Light Trail · Highlight: After dark, embedded LED ground lights turn the walkway into a flowing band of light. · Winter Tip: It gets dark early in winter, so around 4:30 PM you can capture the magical Blue Hour, where city lights and ground lights shine together. 🚶 Efficient Winter Walking Route (1-2 Hour Highlights) As a small park, visiting in winter can follow an “indoor-outdoor-indoor” rhythm to stay warm and enjoy fully. Route: Enter from the south entrance → head straight to The Overlook → stroll along the west side wavy boardwalk → cross the central hill → briefly stop at the open-air theater → exit from the north side, seamlessly connecting to Chelsea Market for warmth and food. 📍 Transportation Tips · Subway: A/C/E/L lines to 14th St/8th Ave; 1/2/3 lines to 14th St/7th Ave; F/M lines to 14th St/6th Ave. · Walking: Recommended to walk along Hudson River Park from the subway station; the scenery along the way is excellent. 💡 Final Tips 1. Warmth is key: It’s windy by the river, so hats, gloves, and warm shoes are more important than looking good. 2. Catch the golden hours: Arrive in the afternoon before sunset to enjoy daytime, sunset, and nighttime views all at once. 3. Keep your expectations: Winter at Little Island is calm and sparse with a Nordic vibe, a completely different flavor from the blooming spring and summer.

#springtravel They say if you can make it in New York City, you can make it anywhere. The city stands as the ultimate symbol of ambition, opportunity, and the timeless American Dream. But here’s the truth many travelers discover: the best way to experience New York isn’t by following a strict itinerary—it’s by letting the city write your story. Walk through the endless energy of Manhattan and you’ll quickly realize that magic happens in the unplanned moments. One minute you’re enjoying the calm green escape of Central Park, and the next you’re standing beneath the electrifying lights of Times Square. Cross the legendary Brooklyn Bridge at sunset, watch the skyline glow, and feel the pulse of a city that inspires millions. New York teaches travelers that dreams don’t always follow a schedule. Sometimes the best adventure is wandering through neighborhoods, discovering hidden cafés, street performances, rooftop views, and unforgettable city stories along the way. In the city that never sleeps, the ultimate American dream is simply living the moment. ✨ Travel Tips for Your NYC Adventure 🚇 Transportation: Use the subway and walk—NYC’s public transit connects every major neighborhood. 🌤 Best Time to Travel: April–June and September–October offer pleasant weather for exploring. 📍 Must-Visit Hot Spots: • Central Park • Times Square • Brooklyn Bridge • Statue of Liberty • High Line 🗓 Suggested “No-Itinerary” Day: Morning coffee in Manhattan → Central Park stroll → SoHo wandering → sunset Brooklyn Bridge → spontaneous dinner in Chinatown. 🌟 Do’s & Don’ts: • Do explore beyond the main tourist spots. • Do try iconic NYC foods like pizza and bagels. • Do keep your camera ready. • Don’t rush through the city. • Don’t overplan every moment. #newyorkcity #americandream #nyctravel #concretejungle #wanderlust 🗽✨

🚖Transportation: Our starting point is near Hollywood Hills. I recommend leaving around 9 am; it takes about 30-45 minutes to get there. 🚇Subway: If you don't have a car, you can take the Los Angeles Metro Line E. The last stop is Santa Monica Station, about a 10-minute walk from the station. 1️⃣ Stop: 3rd Street Pedestrian Street This is a pedestrian street in downtown Santa Monica. After parking, you can start exploring. This roughly one-kilometer-long pedestrian area has many well-known restaurants, bookstores, cafes, and handicraft shops, along with wonderful street musicians. The atmosphere is fantastic, and I recommend having lunch here. 2️⃣ Stop: Santa Monica Beach After lunch, head straight to the beach. This is one of the closest beaches to Los Angeles, so it's very crowded. Compared to other beaches, it's safer here, so you can play with peace of mind. 3️⃣ Stop: Santa Monica Pier Around sunset, be sure to rush to Santa Monica! Pier, this was the stop I was most looking forward to. Santa Monica Pier was built in 1909. The Route 66 terminus sign at the pier entrance is perfect for capturing the California atmosphere. Besides the sunset views, the pier also boasts classic attractions like a Ferris wheel and roller coaster. The roller coaster costs $15 for two rides, and the colors of the sky and the lights at sunset create a truly magical atmosphere! 🍴Dinner For dinner, I chose a seafood restaurant on the pier called The Albright. The seafood was very fresh, and the lobster rolls and fish and chips were delicious. You can enjoy dinner while watching the sunset. The average price per person is around $40! -🏠Airbnb Although we could have returned to Los Angeles immediately after dinner, we decided to stay overnight by the sea and found an Airbnb near Santa Monica Beach. ✨Name: Panoramic Ocean View with Balcony & Cal King Bed ✨Rating: 4.90 ✨Price: 3000 RMB/2 people 📍Location: Within a 10-minute walk of all Santa Monica attractions 🛁Stay Experience The host, Mike, was very welcoming and promptly helped us with any problems. He also recommended good local restaurants. The main reason we loved this Airbnb was the living room's window facing the ocean, which was truly beautiful and created a wonderful atmosphere. The room was fully equipped and very clean.
