Road Trip Across America

Hello everyone and welcome to my new blog! Thank you so much for taking your time to read this post and I hope you enjoy it. I will be doing different subjects such as my travels around the world and in the states and my reviews about various books and movies. but today I will be sharing about my amazing cross-country road trip!

I've always wanted to visit all 50 states and now at a total of 30 I'm closer than ever. A few weeks ago we left our home in Washington to move to the East Coast. Because we were moving, a lot of our belongings were jam-packed into the car for our huge road trip ahead where we were about to see some of America's famous landmarks!!! Here are some of the highlights of our trip

                                                                                                                       
1. Yellowstone National Park
         Here we got to see a beautiful sunset in the park, as well as go camping for the first time under the stars. Of course it isn't a visit to Yellowstone without seeing the spectacular geyser, Old Faithful! And the magnificent Prismatic Springs with it's vibrant colors. And last of all we got to witness a huge bison herd crossing the plains!









 2. Cody, Wyoming-The Rodeo Show
      At the rodeo we got to see many amazing feats. And I even got to be apart of it in the kids competition.
 3. Mount Rushmore
      Then we got to see the incredible statues of our former presidents. George Washington,Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. A place I have wanted to visit since forever.
 

 4. Bear Country USA, South Dakota
       Kind of like an American safari, this place has tons of animals walking right next to your car such as caribou,wolves, and of course bears. Then we got to see another enclosed section for all the smaller animals including the cutest baby bearsπŸ’–



 5. Laura Ingalls Homestead (from "On the Shores of Silver Lake" and "The Long Winter")
       From the beloved books that were published in the 1930's. Now I got to experience the real thing. I got to see the real house and do lots of fun activities like pony rides and a wagon ride that you get to drive! That leads you to a schoolhouse where I learn't a lot about Laura and her family.



 6. Memphis, Tennessee
      Here in Memphis I got to walk around this wonderful city. And at the fancy Peabody Hotel I got to experience the March of the Ducks. The ducks are led out of an elevator by the Duck Master, down a red carpet and into the fountain. This has been going on for the past 80 years and people from all over the world come to witness this interesting phenomenon. Of course these were newer ducks and didn't listen to directions very well.




And that was my cross-country road trip!
        And we finally arrived at our destination in Georgia. now of course I didn't document everything cause that would take awhile! But I hope you have enjoyed this post and please comment down below and tell me what's your favorite landmark in America? 
                          Thanks for reading!!!!!!!

    1. Thank you I will definitely be doing more blog posts. I think my favorite place out of this whole trip was Yellowstone. And my favorite place in all of America is San Diago or really anywhere in California.😎
