Celebration, USA


A couple of weeks ago my family and I took a vacation to Disney World in Florida. It was a great trip...well is Disney ever bad? Lol. So while we were down there, we thought we should check out the own town that Disney created, called Celebration. Now, Disney sold the town a little while ago, but it was still great to see. When Disney had created the town, they had in mind that they wanted all the neighbors to be friendly and to make it a great walk able town. Well, they defiantly hit those two goals spot on. The town of Celebration is a great walk able town! We walked along the main street and in some of the "villages" as they call them there. Some of the houses are HUGE! The picture above is a picture I took of some of the big houses and I thought the picture turned out well lol. I heard the houses were also pretty expensive in Celebration. The town also had many parks. It was nice to see people just talking a good old walk instead of driving anywhere. They have an elementary, middle, and high school in Celebration too. If your ever down in Disney World make sure you check out Celebration...because it is worth it, and it's only a 10 minute cab ride. If you have ever been to Celebration, comment down below and tell me what you thought of it.

Secluded in Nature

This picture makes me calm. It makes me forget about the world, about life. It makes me feel like there is somewhere out there that i can go and just forget about all the stress of what's going on. I like the way it is so open with the yellow field, yet so secluded as the mountains stand around it. This place is a place that every time I think of it, I feel stress free. You know that place you picture to relax you when life has you down? This seems like a great picture to use for that. This picture is amazing.

Cape May Sunsets

This is a picture I took of a Sunset going on in Cape May, NJ. I went there with my family for a week this summer and I had a great time. This picture was taken in the bay area. I liked this picture because the clouds make the sunset even better and it makes the water a cool shade of blue. The sunsets down in Cape May are great because they are so colorful every night. Purple, red, orange, yellow many colors blended together to make an amazing sunset. The funny thing is that after the sun is gone, the sky is even more colorful than when the sun was in the sky. This is one of the many pictures I took of the awesome sunsets on the beaches of Cape May.

The Season of Color


*I do not own this photo, I found it on this person Flickr. The link is below.

I stumbled upon this picture on google and once I saw it, I knew that I had to make a post about it on the blog haha. I really like fall and this picture looks like it was taken in the fall by looking at the color of the leaves. Fall is my favorite season, so any picture of it really stands out to me and I think "Wow, I wish I could be there" There is something about this picture, and fall in general that is very warm. I like the colors and how there is that stretch of water right by the one lane road lined with trees. This place looks like it would be a great place to take a long walk.

Results of Rain


This picture stood out to me because it looks like it just rained in this picture. After there is a rain storm I always notice that outside, the area around me looks more colorful. I notice the same thing in this picture. It seems as though the colors are more defined...or more bright. That is one of the reasons why I like rain so much is because of the colors that result from it.

Carlo's Bakery Shop in Hoboken

* I took this picture

Yes, yes, yes...I know I haven't posted on the blog in awhile but yet again I got caught up in life and what not. So now that thats cleared up, lets talk about my trip to the bakery down the road. Just kidding, I don't live down the road from Carlo's Bakery....sadly. Recently me and three other friends traveled to Hoboken in North Jersey to visit this Carlo's Bakery as I have mentioned. Now if you don't know already, this bakery is where they film the show "Cake Boss" on TLC(But between you and me, I don't watch the show too much). I've still seen some episodes of it though. It was an amazing trip and even got some good sweets there...along with a t-shirt. Even though the wait was like...5 hours just to get in the bakery...we still explored a little bit in the town of Hoboken while we weren't waiting in line. We even found a "nifty" park that has a great view of NYC and was a good place to be.

This is a picture I took of the park we went to.

Thats what so cool about traveling...you may be traveling somewhere to go to something specific...but you can always can find things you weren't even looking for.
