So now I am coming back to the piece I wrote two weeks ago -- my first family trip in the States. Traveling around the east coast was a lot of fun, and here is more about the scenery, food, and my family!

The Love Statue in Philly

I have seen so many Instagram photos featuring LOVE around the world. Anyhow, I just learned that it was first designed by the Philadelphia city planner Edmund Bacon and architect Vincent Kling in 1965. (The original park is under construction, so the statue has been moved to a nearby park.)

Then we went to the Franklin Institute, which is my brother's favorite haunt of science and models, but I feel that kids love it much more than grown-ups do.

One Night At Yale

We went to Shake Shack and had our first American burgers for dinner. My parents had the Angus beef while I had the mushroom burger. The juicy mouthfeel actually worked really well with the mix of fresh salad.

I was so happy to find the free decaf at the New Haven Hotel, and I am particularly fond of adding a lot of milk into the cafe.

A Week In Boston

In season lobster is definitely the best thing we had! Starting from lobster bisque, lobster roll, to all kinds of lobster feast, we devoured all the best through Boston!

This is how my breakfast looked during the days at Cambridge. I actually have a similar set of breakfast in college too. (Buffet accelerates the achievement of freshmen 15!)

Sunset always captures the best view from the top of the hub. I love the river in Boston as well as the one with mesmerizing water fire.

And our vacation ended in Providence!
