Heading back home

Today I waked up finished my luggage and went upstairs to drink just a plain coffee, I had a trip to face ahead, the time passed really fast.
We had our last lunch, something special, meatloaf and macaroni & cheese!

Here are some pictures.

After our lunch, we were getting ready for the airport.

Ashburn is a 14min drive to Dulles International Airport.



Every time is so hard for goodbyes. Very upseting and the only thing that left to say is until next time.
I must say that I visit USA every 4 years, me and the Olympic Games.

Here are some pictures approaching Athens International Airport. 

Until next time...

Last Day

So today it is our last day. I always enjoy visiting USA. I have to say that every time you feel very welcome and most of the people are very polite and very helpful.
I really enjoyed seen my family for one more time and do everyday things with them.
To be honest I do not visit USA as a tourist, because always I am staying at my family houses. So you see things from different eyes, than to book a trip for 15 days and stay to a hotel and just do and see specific things that a tourist guide will saw you.
All those years I have been travelling to USA, I had the opportunity to do all kind of stuff every time.
Lucky for me I have been to the West Coast, to Los Angeles, I have seen Beverly Hills and walked on the most famous road Hollywood Boulevard. Twice at Disneyland. I have been to Reno, Nevada. My favorite of all Santa Cruz and we stayed at a lovely place called Costanoa.
Is an excellent resort and spa!
I stayed for a weekend and had the best time of my life. On the one side you have the view of the mountains and on the other the wild beauty of the sea. Costanoa is a remarlable place, which combines relaxation and sports.

On my next trip, I would love to go to Memphis, Tennessee, Las Vegas and of course New York, I have been only at the John F. Kennedy International Airport and we stayed there for one night because our flight was canceled. 

So today we went for lunch again at Cracker Barrel!

I had meatloaf for lunch.

Our last stop was at a local supermarket to buy food materials for our dinner. I was cooking Carbonara!

And special dessert, Oreo Cake!



Then we head back home, I played a little..

Dinner was ready and voilà!

After our meal, I had an ice cone with syrup... Yummy

I have to say that there is a magical room in the house, it called Pantry!

Later on we made pocporn, getting ready for a last movie night!

Another fun day

Cupcakes for breakfast.
I have to say that when you are on vacation, everything is all about food.

Another relaxing day by eating and watching movies.

For dinner we had plans to go at Buffalo Wing Factory.

When we came back it was time to watch a movie from NETFLIX at the home movie theater room.

Relaxing day

After a one week at the beach, we wanted to relax by staying home and literally do absolutely nothing, but later on we decided to go for dinner at Johnny Rockets and watch a movie at Brambleton Movie Theater.

A bisquick sausage, donut and coffee for breakfast.

Here are some pictures.

Johnny Rockets is an American restaurant franchise whose themed decor is based upon 1950s diner-style restaurants.

After we finished our lovely meal, we went to Regal Cinemas Fox 16 & IMAX to watch a movie.

Located in Brambleton Plaza, where Johnny Rockets is as well, very close from Ashburn.
5 min drive.  

Ocean city

One week at the beach!

Ocean City is a resort town in the U.S. state of Maryland between the Atlantic Ocean and Isle of Wight Bay. It features miles of beach and a wooden boardwalk lined with restaurants, shops and hotels. At the boardwalk's southern end, Trimper’s Rides has hosted theme-park attractions for decades. The surrounding waters are active with kayaks and tour boats, some of which journey to popular Assateague Island nearby.

From Asburn to Ocean City is a 3h 17min drive.



We where staying at a house not close to the beach but it is less than 10min walk. The swimming pool was very close from the house.

The fun part is hickling with a bike around the area from the one side you can see houses close to the river and from the other side tall residential buildings and beach houses close to the atlactic ocean.

Here are somethings you can do while you are in Ocean city.

Go for mini golf.

Plenty of places to play miniature golf.

Here is a list of them.
