Anyone swim in the warm srping waters at Evans Plunge in the Black Hills?

Ah yes, Haleakela was indeed incredible. As stunning as the sunrise was, I was more impressed with the beautiful night sky filled with stars. The road to Hana was an exciting experience. Also, there is nothing sweeter than tasting fresh pineapple in Hawaii.

If you ever come through Scranton, stop at the Coal Mine Tour at McDade Park. The tour takes you into an old mine and a guide explains how the coal miners lived and worked. At 5 yo, boys were brought into the mines to open and close the doorways for the horse and wagons that carted the coal from the shafts to the car that took it out of the mine. Facinating tour that might be overlooked.

Other things are eating fresh lobster in Maine. Going to the original LL Bean store in Freeport Maine. Eating Thrasher's fries on the boardwalk in Ocean City, MD. Taking the cog railway to the top of Pike's Peak. Touring the Chicago Board of Trade & shopping on the Magnificent Mile. Watching a concert at Trophy Point at West Point. Driving or walking over the Golden Gate Bridge. Swimming in El Yunque Rainforest in Puerto Rico. Seeing the crown jewels and Big Ben in person. Getting your photo taken in front of St. Basil's Cathedral on Red Square & touring inside of the Kremlin.
