Lauren, K-man, and, I were having a discussion at dinner tonight, and this topic came up... Your favorite places in the world, where the atmosphere brings true peace and happiness... I feel it's a topic definitely worth having in the blog... So as I ran through the many memorable destinations I have been to, these five locations shined above the rest...
5. San Diego
I spent only three days in San Diego in the summer of 08, and to this day it remains one of my favorite cities in the country. Philip was working an internship that summer, and we decided to fly out and visit him. I remember everything about the city inspired me. The tropical warm air, the sparkling blue bay, the cultural night-life, and the very beautiful people! In my three days there I experienced a great vibe of positive energy & tranquility.
4. Bloomington
Spent four years going to college in this beautiful campus town. In Southern Indiana, this hilly town of Bloomington, is very inspiring and relaxing. The campus is quite large, full of incredible landscaping, fountains, creeks, trees, and the works... On the outskirts of the campus, are numerous forests and lakes, such as Lake Monroe, and Lake Griffey, which I got to experience firsthand with my outdoorsy friend, Crumble... To add to the overall atmosphere, were the many memorable times I had with my friends, making it an even more happy place. It's a place that I will always continue to visit, whether to party at tailgates, Little Five, or just go on a cruise through the town....
3. Lake Michigan
There is no better place to swim than Lake Michigan. Sure the oceans are nice, yet they are also far away, very cold, and very salty... Lake Michigan has always been our shining jewel of the Midwest, home to many of my greatest memories. Such as camping at the Sand Dunes of Silver Lake Park, or the cabin at Muskegon with Aunt Lori and my cousins, or living in Chicago and swimming in Rogers Park. What amazing refreshing water, with the softest of sands, and even at times the waves can be mighty as the ocean. Hands down one of my favorite places to swim!
2. Chicago
My birth-town, and home-town for a year, it is to this day my favorite city in the country. I could probably say it was Bloomington where I began to discover myself, and then Chicago where I finally became myself! In the year that I lived here, I became drawn to the cities modern appeal, so full of culture, and adventure, bringing something new each day. People there are different; they are enlightened, diverse, and extremely open-minded. It's a very modern city, full of art, music, parks, and good spirit. Perhaps it's in the wind that makes this city such an inspiring place to be.
1. Kekionga Shores
I think it's no secret, that I 'm not a big fan of my home-town of Fort Wayne, yet my family's home at Keikionga Shores is without question my favorite place to be. Its in the outskirts of Fort Wayne, where my parents reside in this neighborhood, off Liberty Mills, where a small hidden lake lays in our backyard. I love everything about this place. The front-yard with that annoying crab-apple tree, the ridiculous painting my dad did last summer, the music room; home to some great jam sessions, the living room with a red couch that will suck you right in; the kitchen, where all the cooking madness takes place, the patio in the back, the firepit, the garden, the soccer-net in the backyard, the weeping-willow tree, the dock, the crappy pontoon, and of course the lake itself... I could go on for hours and hours, writing about my love of this place, yet I will keep it plain and simple, by saying that it is a place I hope to never lose....
