Starved Rock State Park

*

Starved Rock State Park is located just southwest of Chicago  along the south bank of the Illinois River. 

*

What an easy drive. Two hours later leaving chicago, voila! we are already here, yay!

*

*

This park is characterized by the many canyons like this. 

*

The trails aren't too difficult, before you know it you will find yourself way up here looking down at people and waving at them. 

*

Oh~~ Poor Adam....

Roadside America - #1

*

Last weekend me and my husband drove to St. Louis for our twin nieces' baptism.

We live in the Midwest, so driving through the flat land of corn fields about 5~6 hours will get us there, but how can I make this travel more interesting? 

So I decided to keep my camera very close to me all time, and started recording things that I saw (somewhat) interesting.

Beautiful Clouds

The World's Largest Cross

*

Dragon - First I thought it was a dinosaur! Sorry dragon.

The World's Largest Ketchup (Catsup) Bottle

Kids being fascinated by a cat hole. I wish I was that easily entertained.

Figuring out there is candy in the bag even though you already told him (or lied to him:) It's not candy.

DORIDORI BABY #2 - Annabelle

*
To be honest, I don't really remember enjoying going to zoos or even amusement parks as a kid. 
It wasn't all that pleasing to me to see those cute little animals 'trapped' in the cages and that just didn't make sense to me.
 I know... oh.. silly old me. I mean... silly young me:)

  Why didn't I like going to the amusement parks? 
 It's just plain and simple. Too hot and too crowded. Yes, I was that kid.... A party pooper.

*

*

My cute little niece Annabelle's first zoo visit!  I hope that she doesn't become a party pooper like me.

*

Hi sweetie, I can't wait to hear you say CHEESE!

I remember us sitting at one of our favorite cafes, Intelligentsia , fussing around with our small and big:) ideas. Her little one was only 3 months old, and my sister was expecting a baby girl then!

*

Oh~ we love you Intelligentsia!

Yes, we still use DELL
