Our Travels | Through My Lens

Going to places, seeing different faces, different culture, tasting all kinds of food, and listening to music are the things I love best in traveling. My favorite is trying out different kinds of food while listening to a great music in the background. It would be such a fun thing to do for me, specially if they will entertain you with a sweet balad music using the lucero acoustic guitar and maybe some funky music from the 80′s, and make you dance all night long. That would be awesome right? I cant wait to warm up a bit so my family and I can visit the southern part of US.

Mothers Day in 2009 was extra special for me, aside from the new bundle of joy that God gave us, I got the chance to celebrate that special day with my Mom in Hersheys Gardens. It was my Moms first vacation here in US. She visited us to be with me when I delivered my little one. I was feeling so lucky that time, because she was there to assist me when I was recuperating.Without her, I sure dont know what to do, cause I have nobody here to rely on.  I was the happiest. I will surely never forget that day when my Mom was with me, and I cant wait for her next visit, and this time with my dad, and that would be next week! Yay! I cant wait to see my old folks again.

Anyhow, below are our photos of our first visit in this beautiful Gardens of Hersheys. Admission was free for all Mom.

The little one was only 3 weeks old here. He is so tiny isnt he? My bad, I forgot to bring the baby carrier. But my Mom was very happy to hold him as we look around. Of course, the little one feel so contented with her warm.

Sweetest Photo ever of my two boys and my Mom.

Tuesday Travels | Green Monday

If you are planning to go for a trip never forget your basic essentials such as hands sanitizer, facial tissues, body soap, toothbrush, lotion and the eb5 face cream, to protect your face from the ultra violet rays, and from chapping. It also makes your skin younger looking and softer.  These are the things that should be always in your backpack or luggage whenever you go for a trip.

What I love about going to the city is seeing the tall buildings and magnificent structures, old and new. It always interest me on how could somebody build such a magnificent structures such as the Lincoln Monument in DC and the Lincoln Memorial. My mom and I went there a couple of years ago and was able to look around the city for the first time. The tall buildings awes me so much. I bet they have a lot of manpower and a complete  industrial supply to build such magnificent structure. I wish to visit the City again this year and take my time to look around and enjoy its majestic beauty.

Photos below are some of my favorite trees that I took at Hershey Gardens, PA. Im not sure the name of the trees but I just find them so amazing and so beautiful, specially the first one. I so love its branches as it twirls and curve out. The white and pink blossom trees are so relaxing to look at, which made me love Spring Season even more. The last photo is a Weeping Beech, my fave of all specially in summer season, cause its so beautiful, so big and very luscious green . I feel sad that their are crazy people out there who lacks attention by curving their names and initials on this beautiful tree. I wish they would just do something productive instead of destroying this beauty.

Photos are SOOC

It’s mothers day tomorrow, and I want to give something for my mom to show my appreciation to her for taking good care of me since I was a baby, and for all the good morals and good characters that she teach me. And since she is far away from home, my only option is to buy her something online and have it sent to her door step. Now I am looking for discount jewelry online that has some beautiful pieces, that is perfect for my mom. I have found a couple that I think she would really like. A diamond stud earrings from rubywallet.com would be a perfect gift for her. So if you are looking for a mothers day gift too you should check out rubywallet.com, they have the best deal in jewelries online.

This is the Conservatory of Longwood Gardens that shelters 5,500 types of plants and 20 indoor gardens. Wow imagine how big this Conservatory is. Its 4.5 acres of covered display, production, and research greenhouses. (source LongwoodGardens.com )

We visited this place twice already, and we never get tired of the display inside because every season is different.Last year Spring Season was our second time to visit. The inside was full of beautiful Spring flowers from all over the world. Yes, I say all over the world because this Conservatory is a Giant Greenhouse, so it conserves any plants from around the world. Their last year display was so beautiful, it was breathtaking. How I wish I had a better camera that time, still I got some really good shots of the place. Below is us by their display.

This conservatory is divided to 3 sections, namely the West Conservatory Complex, Main Conservatory, and the East Conservatory Complex.

Photo below is the East Conservatory Complex, where the Indoor Children Garden is located. I will just share it on my next post.

Below is the  West Conservatory area that displays gray and silver-foliaged plants adapted to the dry, arid landscape of the Mediterranean and desert regions. Dont you wanna have these plants in your yard? Pretty isnt it? specially the model? hehe =P

And below is the Main Conservatory

And guess what is my favorite part inside the Conservatory?Their Family Rest Room!!! woot!! So spacious and very clean! If you look at the photo above, it look like an elevator. hehe

Below is what is inside.

There you go! Thats all I can share for now. There’s more in this conservatory that I havent showed you. I will just share it to you some other time.

Going to different places is my family’s favorite thing to do, specially now that Winter is over, fun places like amusement parks, Gardens, and Zoos are now open for the Season. We also love to try new things that the place has to offer, like food, and beverages, but of course it depends on whats in it. You cant just eat and drink anything right? You have to know whats in it. As for hubby, he likes to try the cigars from different places. His fave is the la gloria cubana a product of Cuba. He find this cigar  so mild and taste so wonderful that its hard to put down. Its a perfect gift for people who loves to smoke at home. Im sure this cigar would be something different for their taste buds.

Anyhow, I have to do some planning on where to go next, that way, we will not missed a thing.

Whenever we go to far places, I always look closely at how they landscape the place. Specially places like the garden. I look at what kind of accents and decors they put in their garden so that I have an idea on what to put mine.

On our new place, hubby and I are planning to build a courtyard with water fountain in the middle, a lovely wooden gazebo and very pretty accents that matches everything. Its gonna be beautiful I tell ya. I sure cant to start making it.  So far all we have right now is a plan. But pretty sure it wont be that long.
