Feeling the Sky!!! @Pilot Mountain

Exploring new places is a beautiful experience and a refreshing one.

So on one of the weekends , I decided to visit Pilot mountain State Park.

Its at a height of 2000 ft and offers scenic look with camping , hiking.

                      On top of the mountain, feeling the deep blue sky.

                      As this visit is in December, it’s pretty cold up there. But the view is worth it.

There are three picnic areas at Pilot Mountain State Park. One picnic area is near the summit parking lot and two are near the Yadkin River. The area has many picnic tables and grills. As I had carried food for lunch, we spent couple of hours at the state park enjoying the nature.

And it was time to go home for a hot cup of tea

The Magic of Niagara

The thought of a waterfall will bring in Radiant rainbows, whooshing water, and a lot of  mist to the mind’s imagination.
Yes , with these thoughts I was holding the boarding pass in one hand and with my lil one on the other. I boarded the plane with my lil one and my parents destined towards New-York city.

From the altitude As I clicked  the clouds:

After an exhausting tour around New-York city, my journey towards Niagara continued but this time , I boarded a bus from New York to Niagara.

After about 8 hours of bus travel , here I was in Niagara.

First stop was at Niagara Fort. It was originally built by French but now serves as a museum.The restored fort provides a glimpse of  18th century battles that took place on the site, as well as period dances, fundraisers and other special events.

Walking through the Niagara State Park.

And Finally , breath taking beautiful NIAGARA

There are cave of the winds, Maid of the Mist, Trails ,I-MAX theater and few other activities at Niagara State park.

I-MAX -> One of the good places to hear the stories surrounding Niagara falls over the centuries.

With fear, mystery and Magic , Niagara will definitely cast her spell on everyone for the rest of our lives. Although the waterfall is shrinking by 12 inches each year, which means it will disappear in about 10000 years from now , 
, N-I-A-G-A-R-A is a miracle and MAGIC!!!
