Fun Places to Visit in Washington D.C.

Posted on by
1

Last year, I was finally able to visit Washington D.C. with my family. My 8th grade trip was shut down by COVID, so I finally got to take the long-awaited trip that my parents promised me. There are so many things to do in D.C. that you could literally visit for weeks on end and not get bored, so it’s very important to plan your time wisely and know how to get tickets ahead of time if you need to.

Of course, you want to try to do a tour of the White House if you can. You’ll need to email your representative or house member 90 days in advance of your anticipated arrival date. It’s a lottery system, so I’d recommend sending out an email ahead of time to all of them to see who responds and follow their directions closely, which requires submission of passport or other citizenship documents. I was lucky to get a spot and it was a great tour. I even got to see the president’s dog the day I was there.  You’ll also want to visit the nearby White House Visitor Center that has a museum and lots of information about the history of the White House as well as White House Gifts which is very touristy, but a fun place to shop, nonetheless.

A trip to Washington D.C. wouldn’t be complete without visiting the National Monuments. There are a lot of them to see including the ones we all know about like the Lincoln Memorial, the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, and the World War II Memorial, but there are also a lot of other ones like the George Mason Memorial, Signer’s Memorial, D.C. Memorial, Korean War Veterans Memorial, MLK Memorial, and US Marine Corps War Memorial and more I probably missed. Be prepared to walk for a long, long time if you want to see most of them. Maybe do what we did and stop at Tidal Basin to rent a paddle boat and paddle around to see the Thomas Jefferson and FDR Memorials from the water. That was a great experience! 

Make sure to leave a few days to see some of the exhibits in the Smithsonians as there is so much to see. I especially liked the Natural History Museum, the Air and Space Museum, and the American History Museum.

You’ll also want to visit the current government buildings like the U.S. Capitol (stop by the Capitol Café and grab a white chocolate mold that looks like the Capitol building and is filled with whipped cream and berries – one of the most fun snacks I had the entire trip), the National Archives Research Center, the Supreme Court, and the Library of Congress.  Just a little hint on the Library of Congress. If you are at least 16 years old, you can obtain your own library card and go into the actual library and look around at all of the books. It was a great experience and much more personal experience than being stuck walking through the regular pathways with everyone else. You have to plan ahead and make sure to show up the hours that are stated on their website and have the appropriate documentation, but it is well worth the extra effort. Also, if you stop by your representative’s office ahead of time, be sure to ask for galley passes which are free and allow you to sit high up above the floor and watch our government in action. I was lucky to catch a briefing on some of the upcoming votes while I was there.

After all of this touring, you’ll be really hungry, so you might also want to try out some cool restaurants like Busboys and Poets, Elephant & Castle, Shake Shack, Old Ebbitt Grill, Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips or the original Ben’s Chili Bowl. I didn’t make it to all of these, but Ben’s Chili Bowl was especially good. It was a bit of a long Metro ride there, but was very old and had an original vibe to it. There were lots of famous people’s pictures on the walls and a video loop going showing everyone from famous actors and actresses to singers and musicians, both from a long time ago and more current times enjoying their meal there.

I hope you will find some of these spots to see in Washington D.C. as interesting as I did and that you enjoy your trip. Make sure to check the websites for every place that’s a must do on your list at least a few months before leaving, because you’ll need to make reservations and/or purchase tickets for many of the places listed above well ahead of time. It seems that the guidelines for reservations are always changing since COVID, so I’d recommend checking online for the most up-to-date information.

Happy Travels!

My Favorite Camping Destinations

Posted on by

Throughout my life, I’ve always loved camping with my family and friends over the summer break. During the school year, I look forward to spending time with my loved ones exploring the beautiful sights of nature. My family and close friends started out with local campsites and beach camping, but over the years, we’ve ventured far and wide to see some of the views of a lifetime with our growing camping family.
Following are some of my favorite camping destinations that I would fully recommend!

Jackson Lake, Grand Teton National Park

1. Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming
During the summers of 2022 and 2023, my family and our friends camped in the Tetons for ten nights, and I would say both trips were the highlight of my summer. We camped by Jackson Lake, a beautiful lake with a beautiful view of the mountains, and the scenery was incredible. There are many beautiful lakes and other views nearby, and Yellowstone National Park is only an hour’s drive away. At Grand Teton and in the nearby town of Jackson Hole, there are many fun activities, like paddle boarding and kayaking on the lakes, hiking, sightseeing, horseback riding, river rafting (my favorite!), biking through town, and many more! I also love the unique restaurants, ice cream shops, and souvenir shops in Jackson Hole. Overall, it makes for an exciting experience!

Secret Beach, Oregon

2. Brookings, Oregon
I’ve only been to the Oregon coast once, but I’m hoping to go again many more times. The coast is so beautiful and serene, and the hikes are scenic with breathtaking views and greenery. Camping there really puts my mind at peace because it is so calm and picturesque there. For me, the long drive was completely worth it. There is so much to explore, and I would of course recommend traveling there!

Carpinteria State Beach, California

3. Carpinteria State Beach, California
Carpinteria is a place that will always feel like my home away from home, as I’ve camped there almost every year for a long time. The beach is gorgeous, the waves are perfect for swimming, and there are great trails for hiking as well. It’s also really fun to walk or bike through town, where my favorite places are the ice cream shops, thrift stores, record stores, candy shops, antique stores, and coffee shops. All in all, it’s a beautiful beach not too far away with lots of fun things to do.

Rock Creek Lake, Inyo National Forest

4. Inyo National Forest, California
I’ve camped and sightseen at many places in Inyo National Forest, including Rock Creek Lake, Twin Lakes, Lake Mary, Lake George, and more, all being beautiful places with amazing views and waters great for swimming, paddle boarding, and kayaking. I’ve also biked around and taken the trolley through the town of Mammoth Lakes, where there are excellent restaurants and bakeries. One thing my family loves to do there is hike the trail to Gem Lake from Mosquito Flat. The trail is ten miles, but what I love about it is there are views the whole way there, so you can turn back whenever you want without missing out; there is a lake about every mile on the trail. On the way to Inyo, there is a great bakery in Bishop called Erick Schat’s Bakery, which has amazing breads, jams, sandwiches, pastries, cakes, and fresh-squeezed orange juice. Overall, trips to Inyo National Forest are a great experience.

Hume Lake, Sequoia National Forest

5. Hume Lake, California
Hume Lake is a beautiful lake, perfect for swimming, paddle boarding, and kayaking. The view is amazing, and there are places all around the lake to sit and relax by the water. Something my friends and I love to do there is jump into the water off of the large rocks; it’s always so much fun. There is also a general store by the lake where you can get icees, milkshakes, ice cream, candy, soda, Hume Lake hoodies, and lots of other snacks and appliances you might need while camping. Hume Lake is beautiful and it is so much fun to camp at!

To conclude, these are my favorite places to camp at that I would absolutely recommend if you like camping, or even just traveling or sightseeing. I promise that you’ll have an amazing experience and see some gorgeous views!

A Teen’s Guide to Travel Light

Posted on by

As the excitement of my upcoming three-week trip to the East Coast grows, I am eager to explore its beautiful landscapes and immerse myself in American history. To make the most of my journey, I’ve decided to travel light with just a carry-on bag, inspired by the idea of traveling light and free. Packing efficiently is challenging as I only like to live with many things I’m accustomed to. Determined to conquer this problem, I’ve developed some savvy packing tips for teens like myself to ensure a stress-free and enjoyable experience.

The first thing on traveling light without less is choosing the perfect bag to accompany me on this adventure. After careful consideration, I settle on a compact yet durable carry-on bag that’s roomy enough for at least four outfits and two pajamas, with room for undergarments and a compartment for extra shoes. It must also comply with airline size restrictions and comfortably carry my belongings throughout the trip. Its various compartments and pockets promise to keep me organized, which is essential for someone like me who can be a bit messy. 

As I sit down to create my packing list, I realize that being organized is half the battle won. Pen in hand, I carefully jot down all the essentials I’ll need during my three-week stay. From comfortable clothes to versatile accessories and travel-friendly toiletries, my list serves as a roadmap for my packing adventure, ensuring I will notice all crucial items.

Choosing the right clothes is the most critical part of my packing journey. I opt for neutral-colored pieces that I can easily mix and match, allowing me to create various stylish outfits without lugging around an overloaded bag. Lightweight and wrinkle-resistant fabrics promise comfort and ease throughout my trip, regardless of the East Coast weather throws my way.

As a technology-loving teenager, I can’t leave home without my gadgets. But carrying multiple devices can add unnecessary weight. Inspired by the idea of traveling smart, I decided to rely on my trusty smartphone, a multi-purpose marvel that serves as my camera, music player, and communication hub all in one, making my bag significantly lighter.

Rolling my clothes instead of folding them becomes a packing revelation for me. It saves space and keeps my clothes wrinkle-free, so I can leave the plane looking fresh and ready for the adventures ahead. The simplicity of this packing technique makes me wonder why I hadn’t adopted it sooner.

Organizing my travel documents has become a top priority. My passport, ID, boarding passes, and reservation confirmations find a secure home in a travel organizer, ensuring they are easily accessible whenever needed. This sense of preparedness brings a comforting peace of mind on my journey.

I remind myself to keep my makeup and accessories minimal and versatile. Travel-sized makeup items fit perfectly into my carry-on. I select a few essential accessories that can enhance any outfit I wear, reducing the clutter in my bag to allow me easy travel.

With my carry-on bag carefully packed, I realize ample room for souvenirs and mementos from my adventures to the East Coast. Knowing I won’t have to worry about exceeding weight limits on my way home brings a sense of relief, allowing me to focus on embracing the experiences that await me.

As I eagerly anticipate my carry-on adventure, I feel empowered knowing that I am traveling light and free. With my well-organized backpack and savvy packing choices, I am ready to explore the beauty of the East Coast, create lasting memories, and embrace the joys of travel without the burden of heavy luggage. 

Traveling with a carry-on can be liberating, allowing you to embrace a lighter and more carefree journey. I hope you are inspired to pack light on your next travel. With these packing tips, you can embark on your adventures with ease, organization, and a sense of preparedness, making your trips more enjoyable and enriching. So, pack light, travel smart, and embrace the freedom of carry-on adventures. Here’s to an incredible journey filled with wonder, growth, and traveling light!

Happy travels!

Fuel Your Travels with These Delicious and Nutritious Snack Ideas

Posted on by

Airplane travel can be exciting and tiring, especially for a teen like me. Amidst the anticipation of the journey, hunger pangs can strike unexpectedly. It’s essential to be prepared to ensure a smooth and satisfying trip. Packing the best snacks is crucial-easily accessible, healthy, and delicious snacks that won’t create a mess in the confined space of an airplane cockpit. Here are a few snacks I plan to bring on my upcoming trip. Let’s explore some delectable options that will satisfy my teen’s appetite and energize me throughout my journey.

  1. Fruit Medley: A delightful assortment of fresh fruits is perfect and easy to pack. Wash and cut your favorite fruits, such as apples, grapes, berries, and oranges. Place the cut-up fruits in a resealable container or small zip-lock bags. Not only are fruits rich in vitamins and antioxidants, but they also quench your thirst and provide a refreshing burst of natural sweetness.
  2. Nutty Delights: Nuts are a great source of healthy fats, proteins, and essential nutrients. Create a custom mix of your favorite nut, such as almonds, walnuts, and cashews. Add dried fruits like apricots or cranberries for a savory and crunchy snack. Portion them into small containers for easy snacking during the flight.
  3. Veggie Sticks with Hummus: Cut various veggies into sticks to dip with hummus. Crunchy carrot sticks, celery, cucumber, and bell pepper slices paired with a small container of hummus make for a healthy and delicious snack combo. Vegetables are packed with fiber and vitamins, while hummus adds a creamy and flavorful touch to the snack and provides healthy fat.
  4. Cheese and Whole Grain Crackers: Cheese is an excellent source of calcium and protein, making it a filling and nutritious choice for teens like me. Individually wrapped cheese sticks or small cheese cubes with whole-grain crackers for a satisfying and balanced snack. I have gluten allergies, so I usually pack rice, lentil crackers, and vegan cheese like Daiya. If you have food allergies, be careful to choose the cheese and crackers you like. 
  5. Granola Bars: Preferably homemade or store-bought, granola bars are a convenient option to keep hunger at bay. These are easy to make. Mix the Nutty Delight on #2 with almond or nut butter, roll them into coconut flakes, and have an excellent granola bar. But there are many options if you prefer to buy them. Look for bars that are low in added sugars and high in fiber, providing a quick energy boost during the journey.
  6. Protein-Packed Sandwiches: Prepare sandwiches with whole-grain bread, lean meats like turkey or chicken, or smoke salmon; if you want to be fancy, add lettuce, tomato, and a light spread like mustard or avocado. These protein-packed sandwiches will you satisfied and provide essential nutrients.
  7. Energy Bites: Create homemade energy bites with oats, nut butter, honey, and add-ins like chia seeds, dried fruits, or dark chocolate chips. These bite-sized treats are tasty and provide a great energy source during travel.
  8. Yogurt with Berries: yogurt is rich in protein and calcium, and when paired with fresh berries or a drizzle of honey, it becomes a delectable and nutritious snack.
  9. Rice Cakes with Nut Butter: Rice cakes are a lightweight, mess-free alternative to regular crackers. Spread nut butter (like almond, Macadamia, or cashew butter) on top, and add dry fruits and chocolate chips for a satisfying and healthy snack.
  10. Dark Chocolate: Satisfy a sweet tooth with a small amount of dark chocolate. Dark chocolate is delicious, contains antioxidants, and can boost mood during long flights.

Use reusable containers or eco-friendly bags to pack healthy snacks to minimize waste and be mindful of potential allergies or dietary restrictions. Remember to stay hydrated by carrying a refillable water bottle and avoid excessive sugary beverages or energy drinks. Also, when you pack many high-water content fruits and veggies, such as cucumbers and watermelon, you can easily stay hydrated and need less water. 

Preparing various easy-to-pack, healthy, and delicious snacks for airplane travel can ensure a satisfying journey without feeling sluggish or hungry. The key is to balance taste and nutrition, making the travel experience enjoyable and stress-free. 

Bon voyage!

Boracay Summer Vacation

Posted on by
1

This may be a little late, but I wanted to share a place that I went to during summer vacation! For those who don’t know, Boracay is a famous island in the Philippines with many smaller islands to visit. There are plenty of fun activities to see and do and one of the most unique beaches because of the beautiful white sand and super clear water. 

During my trip, I went with my family for three days and by the end of it, I was exhausted. We did plenty of things. On the first day, we arrived by a small plane and checked into our hotel after weaving through narrow, busy streets. Our hotel was very nice, with four stories, a pool, a restaurant and a quick way to the beach. Our room was on the third floor and it provided a nice view of the floors underneath. For the most part, the first day, we just swam in the pool and the ocean and ate dinner. Every dinner, we could see a fire dance show, which was really cool to see. It was hard to take my eyes off of the performers and their tricks and it’s something that you should definitely see for yourself.

The second day was the most action-packed day of our trip. With a guide, we planned a day full of activities, starting off with visiting a different island and snorkeling. It was my first time snorkeling and it was very interesting. But we did have a little bit of a scare. If you’re aware of sea snakes, you should also be aware that they are extremely venomous (specifically the black and white striped ones). Unluckily for us, our snorkeling spot happened to have one of those snakes and at some point, we must have startled it as it left its resting spot and began to rise up to where we were snorkeling. Safe to say we left quickly onto our next destination, lunch.

After lunch, we had planned to go back to the hotel and save more activities for tomorrow, but after some convincing, we ended up doing the rest on that day. We changed boats and headed to a floating facility in the ocean that had the rest of our activities for the day. The first one was banana boating. A banana boat is a floating tube with handles on it and is pulled by a motor boat. On a banana boat, the goal is to hold on for the entire ride, but  as easy as it sounds, once you lose your grip, it’s difficult to get back up. My family managed to get through the ride without falling in (even though I almost fell in).

The last thing we did that day was parasailing. Most of my family were not on board with the idea, but I managed to convince my cousin to go with me. When I had first seen other people do it, they didn’t look like they were super high up, but then I got on it and looked down, it was a lot higher than I thought it was. Despite the elevation, the view was spectacular and definitely worth it. My cousin and I got nice and comfortable in the air, taking in the peaceful silence and the view of the ocean and land. 

The third day was much more peaceful. A calm walk down the beach, nice swim in the ocean and pool, and lively night walks on the beach, looking at various vendors to buy from. After that, it was time to go home (being where we stayed with our cousins in the main island of the Philippines). We knocked Boracay out early on the two month trip, but it was definitely a highlight.

I definitely recommend going to Boracay if you ever get the chance. Whether it’s to experience the beautiful beaches morning, midday, or night; or to participate in the various water activities they have, or to look at the culture, it’s undoubtedly a place you’d want to miss going to.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Posted on by
Reply

In mid-July, I had the opportunity to fly across the world to the Middle East and visit Dubai. It was a fascinating experience. In the early 60’s, Dubai was a complete desert with no buildings in sight. Now, just over 50 years later, there are many skyscrapers and towers, making it a beautiful city.

The most famous and well-known building in Dubai is the Burj Khalifa. With its 163 floors, it happens to be the tallest building in the world at a staggering 2716.5 feet (or 828m). Visitors are able to go to the top and see the city from above. The sandy origins of Dubai are still visible from the top, but the added buildings make for a fantastic view. Underneath the skyscraper, there is a giant area of water that somewhat resembles a pool. This place contains what is known as the Dubai Fountain. Each day, from 6pm-11pm, the Dubai Fountain show takes place every 30 minutes. It is a spectacular event with its bright lights and unique water movements.

Right beside the Burj Khalifa is the Dubai Mall, which is the largest mall in the world. In fact, the only entrance to the Burj Khalifa is through the Dubai Mall, which is why construction for both places began around the same time. The way the mall was built from the inside and outside is outstanding. The architecture was unlike any other mall I had ever seen. There are over 1200 retail stores and 200+ food and beverage outlets, making the mall worth approximately $20 million. Unfortunately, this also causes the item prices to be far higher than just shopping at Amazon.

All in all, Dubai is a wonderful city and I would highly recommend visiting it. It is a very tourist-friendly place and has some magnificent locations for families to visit. I greatly enjoyed my 9-day stay and would hope for other travelers to do so as well.

Niagara Falls

I visited Niagara Falls, Canada this summer for the first time, and let me tell you, the experience was more exciting than I ever expected. Despite all the hype surrounding the infamous Niagara Falls, my initial impression before arriving was that the falls would be the only attraction, and even that would be meant to be viewed from afar. I was proven wrong, to say the least. Here are just a few of the fascinating attractions that Niagara Falls has to offer:

Niagara Falls | Quality Hotel Fallsview Cascade

Before heading to the falls themselves, we took a stop at the nearby amusement park in Clifton Hill. The park featured thrilling rides, a fun arcade, and a towering ferris wheel that gives you a jaw-dropping view of both the park and the waterfalls. Other than entertainment, Clifton Hill also had a wide variety of mouthwatering dining options.

Our next stop was the long-awaited waterfalls. I was blown away by the picturesque view of the falls, and even more so when discovering that the tour would be given through a boat ride, titled the Maid of the Mist, that travels into the falls themselves. The Maid of the Mist blew me away — almost literally — as the feeling of the wind and water rushing towards you while traversing the falls is like none other. This was by far my favorite part of the visit.

Ziplining – Niagara Falls Canada Attractions | ToNiagara

Other than the tour by boat,  adjacent to the falls is an exhilarating zip line that presents both the thrill and outstanding view of Niagara Falls. Though watching other riders fly past the crystalline falls in front of you is exciting, experiencing the rush of the zipline on your own is an even greater thrill.

After experiencing all that Niagara Falls has to offer, the ideal next stop is the souvenir shop on your way out from the boat ride. The Top of the Falls Gift Shop even operates a green screen to take a photograph of your group in front of a background of the waterfalls. I personally love getting souvenirs and taking photos of the places I visit so I can preserve the memories, so this was the perfect conclusion to my visit.

After witnessing the wonders of Niagara Falls, I can confidently say it’s a must-see for anyone planning a trip to Canada. With an endless amount of entertainment and sight-seeing opportunities, Niagara Falls definitely lives up to its name.

Sydney, Australia

Recently, I went on a two-week-long trip to Australia and New Zealand. I visited many different cities, each having its own unique activities, which made me greatly enjoy the vacation. The first city we went to, which was my personal favorite, was Sydney, Australia.

Sydney is a beautiful place that features a mixture of buildings in the downtown area to an abundance of nature on the outskirts of the city. An example of this is Vivid Sydney. Vivid Sydney is a major event where the city is essentially covered with projections of light. It creates an aesthetic scenery for people to watch and take photographs. There are other ways to view this, such as by cruise. The cruise can take you across the Sydney Harbour to explore the city and view different structures. One important structure includes the Sydney Opera House, which is a performing arts center that is famous around the world. The building has a beautiful and unique design, which is what makes it so special and is the reason it took about 14 years to build. The total cost was also around $102 million in 1973, which is around $670 million today. Both Vivid Sydney and the Sydney Opera House are relatively close to the downtown area. The Blue Mountains, however, are 37 miles west of the city but are still an exceptional place to visit. The location features an outstanding view as it is almost 4000 feet above sea level. There are cable cars, trains, and skyways, which all allow people to look at the mountains from an even greater distance, adding an element of entertainment while also including the view.


All in all, this vacation was very enjoyable. There are many great parts of the city of Sydney that I would recommend. If you are to visit Sydney at any point in your life, make sure to make the most of it.

Fun Weekend Trips in California

Posted on by

California has an incredible diversity of experiences, from breathtaking natural wonders and great hikes to buzzing urban centers and famous museums. With so much to do and see, planning is the key to utilizing this majestic state, so you don’t feel overwhelmed. But fear not. A short weekend trip to California is still possible. You can take a few days packed with adventure and fun. Here are a few ideas for a quick getaway that will refresh and inspire your senses.

Let’s start with my favorite place Universal Studio. It’s located in Hollywood, an amusement park perfect for all ages, even adults. The park features rip-roaring rides, exciting shows, and attractions based on the most popular movies and TV shows, such as Harry Potter, The Simpsons, and Jurassic World. Everyone will love the adrenaline rush of roller coaster rides like Jurassic World and The Revenge of the Mummy. Growing up reading all the Harry Potter series, my favorite is the Harry Potter attraction.

After a fun morning at the park, head to Santa Monica Pier, a historic landmark that has much entertainment and had been entertained visitors for over 100 years. The attractions include an amusement park, an aquarium, and an arcade. The Ferris wheel or the roller coaster rides are electrifying. If rides are not your thing, try your luck at one of the carnival games. Beware, set a budget, and stop playing if you’re not winning. They tend to hook you in, so you’ll lose more than win.

End your day with a stroll along Venice Beach, a lively and diverse neighborhood famous for its colorful street performers, artists, and vendors. Stop and take a breather while watching the sunset over the Pacific Ocean and enjoy dinner at one of the many restaurants with ocean views in the area.

Another favorite of mine is Legoland. This park is all about kids and fun. It has over 60 rides, shows, attractions, a water park, and an aquarium. Everything is built with Legos. And who doesn’t like Legos.

My favorite ride is Lego Technic, and Lego Mind Storm is my favorite attraction.
If you are still up for traveling north of California. I suggest San Francisco, City by the Bay. This is a must-see destination. The unique culture, history, and natural beauty mix is eye candy for everyone.

You can experience the city’s most well-known and iconic sites like the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman’s Wharf, and Alcatraz Island. While you’re there, remember to stop by and sample some of the most famous sourdough bread in the city. If you have time, take a scenic ferry ride to Sausalito, a charming town across the Bay with impressive views of San Francisco.

With so many more options and destinations, you will be satisfied if you choose any of the above. But those aren’t your cup of tea; visit your family destination guide online for more quick trips in California.

Here’s to the adventure ahead!

Las Vegas

Posted on by

I have got to confess here: Every time I go to Las Vegas, I go for two things, food, and shows. Last month, I went to a show in Las Vegas known as “Circus du Solei”. It was very fun!

The plotline (pardon me if I’m wrong, some parts I didn’t get) was about a brother and a sister on a boat. The brother is a prince, and the other a princess. They lived happily together, until bandits raided their ship and captured both prince and the princess. Along the way, the prince falls in love with the head bandit’s daughter, and both escape. At the same time, the sister is stuck on an island with unknown creatures. She, and with the help of the friends she has left, must venture out to find her brother.

The scenes were so cool! The graphics were top-notch, and they had fireworks and everything. My favorite scene was when the prince and princess finally see each other again, but the bandits start shooting at them with wooden arrows. ACTUAL bow and wooden arrows, while the prince and princess were climbing a mountain. The whole time I was wondering how the heck they actually manage to do that without actually shooting the characters on stage??!! But, I guess that’s why we paid over $600 for this show.

Overall, I really enjoyed this experience! If you are thinking about going to Las Vegas anytime soon, this would be a great place to relax and watch a show! (If you can handle the pricing).

Another exciting moment we had in Las Vegas was when my family and I went to the Wynn Buffet. The food was amazing! The only problem was that we had to wait in line for 2 hours! I was starving by the time we finally made it to the front of the line. The food there was unimaginable! There were even people making crepes for you! To be completely honest, none of the food tasted bad there. They had heaps of food, crab legs, sushi, all types of meat, pork chops, turkey, all sorts! In conclusion, I really enjoyed my time here in Las Vegas!
