MY family trip

Today is January 4th, 2016. 

I hope all of you had a wonderful and exciting holidays and a great start to the new year~! 

It's been such a long time since I've posted any blogs and photos from the places I visited. 

2016 is a great year already and will continue to be~! 

I'll keep you up to date more frequently about the food I make and more hot spot reviews~!

In my last post I mentioned posting photos from my trip to NYC. I'm so sorry that this is so late~!

I had a wonderful time with my family that came to visit from South Korea. I was very fortunate that I was able to take some short time off from work and go to NYC with them and also got the chance to visit Niagara Falls and Toronto. 

Everyone who knows me personally knows that I despise driving but oh my the driving in NYC was so horrible. 

I happened to get really sick as soon as I got there and the whole time I felt pretty miserable. But since I was the tour guide I had to move on and be cheery. Besides, how many times will I get the chance to visit NYC again? :)

After being there for two days, we drove up to Niagara Falls.  If you ever get the chance to go I highly recommend it. It might seem like nothing but the falls are so beautiful and powerful. It puts you in awe of what God has created for us to see. It was beautiful~! I would love to go there again but this time take the helicopter ride over the falls. There is a boat option as well. 

Next stop was Toronto. The quiet city looked so peaceful. The weather was gorgeous and sunny. We couldn't stay long, only a few hours but it put a lasting impression on me. I would love to live there just not during the winter. 

We drove back to the city to catch our flight back home. The drive through the Catskills was awesome. It was during May so it wasn't hot and there mountains and streams and sun. I think they got me too~! I want to go there again~! The drive and the views were amazing ~!!! 

The next destination was the Outer Banks. I've never been out that far to the east coast. I've been lucky to visit the beaches in NC but it was the farthest east I've ever gone. 
Our first destination was Kitty Hawk, where Orville and Wilbur Wright flew the first plane. There is a memorial and museum which tells you of the exact points where the flight was tested and resulted in success. 
The sand dunes were piled high and the ocean water was ice cold. It was such a beautiful day to be at the beach, seeing the ocean but not swimming in it. The water was too cold~! We also visited the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. It is the tallest brick lighthouse in the United States. 

Hope you enjoy~!
I'll be posting my food recipe real soon~!
