Little Journeys

Being able to travel around the world has been a little dream of mine ever since I first got on plane to visit my grandparents in Mexico. I was in around 6 or 7 and I remember the thrill I felt while I was on that plane. The feeling of the turbulence while the plane is taking off excites me to this day. During the flight drowned my mom and dad with questions of Mexico, I wanted to feel a little prepared before I actually stepped foot onto the new territory.

There is a thrill of not knowing what to expect when you're traveling. There are so many questions that bounce back and forth in our minds such as "Are the locals friendly? , Am I going to get lost?, Who will I meet? What will I eat?" As I've gotten older that feeling of wanting to travel never waned. As a matter of fact, it grew much stronger thanks to the internet.

Due to my lack of funds, I haven't been able to travel to the areas that my heart so desires. I have done a little traveling around the east coast of the United States. Recently, I traveled to Washington D.C for the 100th anniversary of the Cherry Blossom Festival, and it was wonderful. The weather wasn't the best but my friends and I made the best of it. While in D.C we did the typical touristy things. We visited the enormous Space and Air Museum, I was like a little girl who wanted to hop on one of the planes and try to fly it out of the museum.

Doesn't the rocket ship with the stars look so awesome?!

Here are some pictures of the colorful cherry blossoms I took at the park:

I would definitely love to go back when the cherry blossom trees are a little bit more bloomed so I can take more pictures.
