| Fort Atkinson, Iowa (United States) | Reoccurring | To Visit Relatives |
Despite its quaint appearance, the northeastern city of Fort Atkinson, Iowa holds a very special place in my heart, and while I do not visit as frequently as I used to, I still try to enjoy every moment. The majority of my extended family reside in Fort Atkinson, therefore, I have made many early and profound childhood memories here.
Here, my sister and I are posing infront of one of the barns that lie
adjacent to my grandparent's house.
This picture truly demonstrates
how capricious and drastic Iowa weather can be, experiencing
blistering summers
and frigid winters.
Often during the Iowa winters, we would
use the heaps of snow to build complex tunnels and
forts.
Pictured is my dog, Teddy, standing on a
gravel road, lined on both sides with
golden corn fields. This is the
dusty road that leads to my grandparent's
house, which is visible in the background.

| Madison, Wisconsin (United States) | Reoccurring | To Visit My Sister |
Another vacation spot of mine is Madison, Wisconsin, which I visit to see my older sister who lives there. It is a wonderful city with several activities to keep yourself busy and forever learning.
Pictured here is the capital
building in Madison, Wisconsin.
My sister loves to go rock-climbing in
her spare time, so when we visit, that is
what we often do. She has actually caused me to grow a love for it myself,
as I enjoy how it challenges me.
In this picture, my sister and I
are exploring the inside of the
capital building.
The architecture was utterly beautiful
and I am so
glad that I was able to see it.

| Fort Worth, Texas (United States) | June 2017 and July, 2020 | To Visit My Brother |
I am able to visit sunny, Fort Worth, Texas because my brother attends school at Texas Christian University. My trips have been shortlived though, simply due to unforeseen obstacles. However, in the year 2020, I was finally able to visit and see more of the campus, but due to the coronavirus pandemic, much of campus was unfortunately off limits. Although, from what I have seen, I have enjoyed greatly and I hope to visit again soon.
On the TCU campus, there is a statue of the
school's mascot, the horned frog, sitting on
a
bench doing the school's
signature gesture. For this picture,
I decided to join him on the bench and do it as well.
One morning in Texas I decided to go for a
run
and I stumbled upon a line of rocks
that traversed a
small stream.
This allowed the water to run
through each stone and cascade down a waterfall like
decline, boding for a stunning photo oppurtunity.
In this picture, my brother is
giving me a tour of
the TCU campus on a warm, Texas day.
