Adventures











When I was younger, one of my favorite computer games was Myst. I loved exploring and seeing the neat places they had in the game. The graphics were really good. Now that I'm older, life has gotten busier. I never even got around to beating Myst IV. Maybe I will in a couple of weeks when I have a week off... Anyway, today instead of exploring in games, I go exploring in real life. I love hopping on my bicycle and exploring a neighborhood or a trail I've never been on. This summer I explored the University of Maryland campus (which I have yet to take pictures of), my new neighborhood, a few biking trails next to the Washington DC lds temple, some neat bike trails in a neighborhood nearby my apartment until it dead ended, a nice neighborhood nearby with and artificial blue lake and stream, and I explored a little hiking trail through the forest, on foot. It's all been really enjoyable. I wish I had more time to go exploring around here because there is so much to see! I guess I'll have to find more places by school to explore. I haven't really done that yet. Enjoy the pictures. It really is beautiful out here. I love the green trees and the natural water sources that you don't see very often back home.

I love the pictures! Did ride on that roller coaster?

I did ride that roller coaster as well as many others. We even road some pretty neat slides at the water park!

I never played Myst, but we grew up on its predecessors in the genre. Namely King's Quest and Space Quest. King's Quest 1 was probably the original "adventure game", and you had to manually type in all the commands.
