This exact statement has been brewing in my head for months now. Ever since i put my transfer request in to move all the way to the other side of the country. At first it was all brand new, exciting and fun adventures. Like a new book in a library with a lonely Character in a novel in his own adventure land. Finding these things in my surroundings that will be entertaining and fulfilling were easy at first. However after the first few times of going on these "adventures". They did lose their flair fairly fast! Be it because most of those new-comings were food places that my taste buds had yet to experience. FOR example
Hardees (carls jr in disguise!)
There are a few however i have not tried yet. Which i will wait on because i'm running out of places and do not wish to run out of ideas too quickly.
However other then food (mostly fast food type joints) There is not a whole lot to do; Especially in the winter time. Theme parks close (can't see this being a fun time riding around past 60-70mph on a roller coaster when it's below 30*) BBQ's can't be performed fun and easy because of the literally freezing temperatures that plummet after September. Hiking and camping are very much not going to happen; Comfortably at least! No Kayaking, Canoeing, All done for! This leaves room for more food joints, Maybe some clubs, Live music, Scenic drives (that being said, if it does not ice over which happens frequently) which aren't always fun around here.. it's relatively flat with almost nothing but farm land once you get outside of the city limits.
However, to answer my original question of "whats your favorite thing about your current city?". I will give 2 answers! Summer and winter.
Summer/Autumn : I've always been very much into photography through my youth and very much now a days. it's still a great passion that i have in my life. And even thought i only have a lowly PnS (point and shoot) camera, it still does it's job decently and gracefully. Photography is especially great around the mid-west and the east coast areas because of the gorgeous autumn times going right into fall. Everything turns dark hues of brandy and burgundy with a touch of bright orange. Reminds me of a sunset over the pacific in the great pacific northwest coast line after a huge storm clears up most of the way, but there is still a good amount of clouds in the sky to catch all the hues.
to show the comparison
Pacific sunsets
Midwest type autumn.
Spring/Summer : This one indefinitely is harder to give a straight forward answer to. For the reason being i had just moved here in the spring. Never really had enough of a chance or excess time to really open my eyes to what is considered fun within this realm of my new city. However some of the "adventures" i did throw myself in revolved somewhat around what i enjoy so much about Autumn/Winter. As the colors are not as great during that time frame, It is a great time to go a little bit outside of the city and walk around on the trails to see the wildlife, the scenery. Breathe in the fresh air. Blowing across the sweet scent of the flowers and the trees surrounding you. With that light breeze mixed with the warmer weather and the shade, It is a wonderful time to be had!
One thing i would like to Experience over here is more of the outdoors. more kayaking, canoeing, Camping, fishing etc. I Have a feeling they will be overwhelmingly amazing, Especially if mixed and meshed with the correct set of people. I Think this may be tempting to plan over the summer of this year! so stay tuned! :)
