My Trip To Seaside

It was the summer break, and no summer is complete without a trip to the beach. It was pretty last minute, but we managed to book a lovely Hotel room with a view of the sea, and this is the story of my trip. Hope you enjoy reading this.

It was a nice sunny morning on August 2, and I was super excited to go to Seaside!!!, So we packed our bags and had some breakfast and left for our first stop The Astoria Column. It was a total 3 hours drive. As we were crossing through SeaTac my brother and I saw four Alaska Airlines and two Deltas as well as a Southwest. The Deltas were a a330 neo and a 737 and the Southwest and Alaska planes were just 737s. After a few hours later we entered Oregon through this super cool and long bridge, and I saw some long container ships.

                                       
                       



                


 Few minutes later we pulled into the Astoria Column it was so tall and had some historical pictures on it. After purchasing a $1 wooden airplane that is used to be thrown off the column, we decided to climb the 140 stairs all the way to the top of the column. After climbing the 140 steps we finally reached the top. The view from the top was absolutely breathtaking. We could see the Washington-Oregon bridge and after throwing the plane off the column we headed downstairs to have our picnic. As we reached our picnic table, I noticed that the view from the picnic table was fantastic it had a view of the bridge.






After having a yummy picnic, we decided to head for Cannon Beach. After another hours' time we arrived at the beach. We had so much fun playing in the water and building sandcastles. 

Then as evening time was around the corner me and my family decided to go to our hotel Inn of the four winds. After reaching the hotel we freshened up while my parents decided to get Fish N Chips from a nearby restaurant. We tucked in for the night and enjoyed the view of the marvelous sunset on the pacific coast from the comfort of our hotel.

The next day I woke up and then my dad walked through the door with Sand Dollars. He told me he had found them in the nearby beach so that's where we decided to go. After the beach, we had breakfast freshened up and left for Captain kid amusement park. I had so much fun riding the go karts. Then it was time to head home. We picked up some food on the way then we went home and that was the story of my trip to Seaside.

A road trip to remember

Image
This is my story of my family's first road trip in US we planned in just 2 days, covering 4 National Parks and 5 states where we will be travelling a total distance of 2200 miles in 8 days. Our trip to India we had planned all summer was cancelled at the very last moment, due to some visa issues. All our bags were packed and the mood in the house was gloomy to put it mildly. My father was planning to go extreme on the road trip. His idea of the road trip was to travel the breadth of America from West to East, starting from Seattle in Washington to Boston in  Massachusetts. To put it into perspective that would mean a distance of 3,045 miles one way and then back. That would be just 6 days one way drive even if we drove like 500 miles per day with my younger brother who is just 4 years old. Thankfully some sense got into him, and we decided to abandon the plan. So, what actually ended up happening was a more planned trip, where we covered 250 miles per day and enjoyed the  rest of t

A Visit to Palm springs

It was early in the morning, and I woke up to the sound of my mom's footsteps going to the kitchen. I tried to go back to sleep but I just couldn't because I was too excited to go to Palm Springs, California. We had already packed our bags the night before and our uncle was coming to drop us off to the airport, where we will be meeting our friends and fly together. It was the middle of December and departures were all backed up, like the Wall Street had just closed for the trading day.  After 40 minutes we arrived a SeaTac international airport and I hugged my uncle, and we went into the Alaska airlines section. The SeaTac airport is spread in an area of 2500 acres and has 3 runways. The airport entered service in 1949 and is owned by port of Seattle.  There we checked in for our flight and we waited for our other friend's family to come. Once they arrived, they checked in and we all went to security check and then we went on a tram to the N gates, our gate was n11. Once
