Period: to
Naples, Florida
My vacation started in Naples, Florida. My girlfriend Caitlin and I enjoyed amazing weather, sandy beaches, clear water, and great food. We saw lots of wildlife including dolphins, birds, snakes, and lizards. We stayed at a very nice condo that looked out over the beach. It was beautiful to see the sunset over the beach. It was a very relaxing and pleasant experience! -
Beach!
We spent every day on the beaches of Naples which were practically empty. -
Nature Safari
This is an Eastern Indigo Snake found in Florida, one of many reptiles we saw in Florida. -
Shell Hunting
There are a ton of seashells all over. When the tide went out late in the evening we went up and down the beach collecting in tact and gorgeous shells. -
A visit to the Mormon Church
Salt Lake City revolves around the Mormon Church, so we took a visit! It was beautiful and much larger than I thought it was going to be. -
Period: to
Salt Lake City, Utah
I went to Salt Lake City, Utah to visit one of my very good friends, Jon Vanvranken. Jon is getting his PhD in molecular biology at the University of Utah. I can't describe the beauty of the mountain landscape or the freshness of the air. -
Hike up to Red Pine Lake
We went on a 6 mile hike up to Red Pine Lake. Through rough trails, slippery snow, and dangerous cliffs, we made it to the top. It was the first mountain that I've ever climbed. -
Period: to
Las Vegas, Nevada
After Salt Lake City, I met my friends Dave and Nick in Las Vegas. We stayed at the Tropicana on the strip. You see lots of interesting people and things in Las Vegas! -
