Life Journey
I planned a long driving journey to Niagara-Toronto-Pittsburgh. First, we went to the US side of Niagara Falls. We decided to go for the Cave of the winds walking experience instead of the ship because we tried the ship like 10 years ago. If you …
This day was really hot. I had to walk a lot to get to one of the best view spots from early on because the traffic gets really harsh, hard to find a parking lot and the streets are blocked later. Finally managed to get …
Such a great place to take a walk on a sunny day. The sunset seen with the great falls was so beautiful. The path to the lookout is well organized with wooden decks and stairs. I prefer to access from the Great falls tavern visitor …

One of the decent Korean style Spas in the Northern Virginia area. Don’t forget to bring your own swimsuit to enjoy the outdoor pools. Many jjimjilbang rooms and warm resting areas. Outdoor sunloungers, pools and jacuzzis are very much enjoyable. There are separate woman and …
No restrooms inside so make sure you drop by one before entering the tower. Small observatory on the top level and a tiny museum downstairs. Made a reservation in advance and had a self-guided tour which took about an hour. It’s quite narrow inside but …
