5 solo trips

I came up with a list of ideas to do when  you're  feeling bored and alone. I follow this advice often, after I have a long day at work or when I just want some me time. Go on a hike or bike a trail           Nothing clears my mind than a nice hike through the woods next to the river. So soothing! To spice things up I recommend bringing a snack finding a fallen tree or a rock and enjoy the great outdoors. Amusement park           Granted you  won't  be alone at an amusement park but, it’s the thought that counts. The perks of going alone are getting to the front of the line. I find that single passengers get on the rides quicker than groups. Dinner or lunch            Nothing says relaxing like getting the corner booth next to the window and having time to read that novel that has been on your list fo...

Trip to Philadelphia

I started my day at the Amtrak station in Harrisburg. It took about an hour and forty or forty five minutes to get to thirtieth street station (far left). There I took the subway to Old city block. (Far right) To obtain information about surrounding sights to see I went to the Independence Hall Visitor Center. There I got tickets for Betsy Ross house , and the national constitution center .

As you enter the home, its a tight squeeze, you read about how she becomes known as the famous lady who sewed the first flag. The tour also included a reenactor portraying Betsy herself. Located outside is Betsey's gr...

Gettysburg

Welcome to my first traveling post.  Today I'll be talking about a few things to do in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.  Hunt's battlefield fries   - A bucket of fries, who wouldn't love this! These are the best fries I have ever tried. I recommend getting an Appalachian Brewery rootbeer to go along with the fries, the drink has a hint of honey making it taste absolutely devine. The cafe is located on Steinwehr Avenue.  The sign of Hunt's Cafe. A large container of fries.  The divine Root Beer with a hint of honey.  Sunset on little round top Nothing is more romantic than overlooking the fields and into the mountains while watching the sun go down. Also, if you can't catch the sunset it's really nice to just enjoy the view.     Cyclorama painting This magnificent painting is a stunningly beautiful work of art. It is a truly must see painting. The painting is located in the Gettysburg...
