Florida

     Hey guys! The 2nd state that I'll be talking about is where I came to Washburn from, Florida. I'll be talking about Naples, Florida which is in south west Florida. Naples is on the Gulf of Mexico which is well known for their beaches. Naples is a decent sized beach town with a lot of up scale restaurants. If you go to Naples, you're most likely do spend A LOT of time at the beach.
     The best time to visit Naples is during the summer cause its one of the best times to go to their well-known beaches! Local favorite beaches are Lowdermilk and Clam Pass. The Naples Pier is another popular place to go to especially if you want to catch some of Florida's well known sunsets!        
If you want to go to where all of the upscale restaurants are, 5th Avenue is where to go. A couple of restaurants on 5th Avenue include Bistro 821, Chops City Grill, and more. If you want to go to more casual restaurants but not in 5th Avenue, local favorites are Sushi Thai, Joey D's, California Pizza Kitchen, and more.
      If you want to take a break from the beach or the restaurants, Naples has beautiful nature walks and sanctuaries. A couple of these places are, Corkscrew Swamp, Naples Zoo, and more.
     Overall, Florida is such a beautiful state with a lot of things to do in nature as well as great places to eat. Look forward to spending a lot of time at the beach!

Delaware

Hey guys! The first state that I'm going to talk about is Delaware. The main place that I travel to in Delaware is called Fenwick Island and it's right by the Atlantic Ocean. My grandparents have had our family beach house there for my entire life.
In Fenwick, everything is easy to get to a car isn't necessary! It's a small beach town with a lot of character. Their beaches are decent in size and have volley ball nets too. If you want to take a break from the beach, there are many fun local shops to go to and great restaurants to try. Some of the local shops are geared towards beach shopping but they also have tourist type of restaurants.
One of my favorite places to get breakfast before taking a walk on the beach is called Crepes and Crazes. If you want to have a more upscale kind of dinner, Just Hooked is perfect with a variety of food but mainly focusing on seafood. Other great restaurants are Warrens Station and Jimmy's Kitchen. Overall, Fenwick Island is a fun small beach town with a lot of character that everyone should try to go to!

Post 1

Hey! My name is Caitlin Lee and I'm a freshman at Washburn University. This blog will show and describe 12 states that I've been to and what makes each state so unique.
I am the right person to create this blog because I've been fortunate enough to travel to many states. While being in each state, I've gotten to experience different things that each state has. The audience will most likely get out of this blog is where they would like to travel next. I hope to encourage others to travel the U.S. and see what there is to explore!
