A Visit to Doctor's Park

I visited Doctor's Park, in Foxpoint, Wisconsin, along Lake Michigan. It was very beautiful. Lots of cool rocks to collect, sand to walk in, and shady spots to stop and rest in. Built a neat zen pile of flat, black rocks like you see in those photos of someone having a hot stone massage. You can take your lighter-colored, flat rocks home and paint, color, etc. And put them around the base of your plants you have in containers.

A Visit To Chinatown in Chicago

I visited Chinatown for the first time a few years ago. It was really cool, like stepping into another country for a few hours. I had bubble tea (tea with large black tapioca pearls), got to see lots of cute Japanese toys, beautiful art, and ate dim sum. One shop had lots of smaller treasures that were reasonably priced. I also sampled some cake from a bakery, very light and fluffy, like and very airy.

A Walk by the Lake

I live near a lake. It's so large that it feels like an ocean, because you cannot see across it (Lake Michigan). I visited around noon on a weekday, and it was perfect. Just a few people near the parking lot, but once I journeyed further, there was no one. It gave me the feeling i've always wanted to have, to live on my own private island. I pretended I was all alone, and I looked for cool stones and beach glass. Above is a picture of some of my treasures that I found.

A Walk in a Nearby Park

On my last adventure, I drove a short distance to a botanical gardens. I didn't actually go into it, but I walked near it, as there were many trails. After my walk, I stopped in the main building (free to go in) and got to check out displays and information on local wildflowers, composting, rain gardens, and other things. Their gift shop was open, so I meandered through there as well. I thought it was neat, as they had seed packets you could buy of local wildflowers (purple coneflower, etc). The above picture was of some flowers in front of the main building.

My Adventures by Myself

In case you're wondering, I really do adventures by myself. :)

I try to do them twice a week, sometimes more, and if life gets in the way, sometimes I only get to do once a week.

I have a bunch more ideas to post, but i'm afraid that maybe they might be overlapping each others.

So, I had an idea. I will post my own adventures here and there, and also post a picture from it as well. Pictures are always nice, right?

Thanks for reading.

Try Out a Jung Typology Test

A month ago I visited the college from my undergrad, and found out that I could take a free Myers-Briggs Type Indicator evaluation. There weren't a ton of questions, so it didn't take too long. I then scheduled a meeting to go over my results. The person gave me some additional questions to clarify my answers, as some choices were very close in total to others.

I found the below fun online test, a Jung Typology Test. You might find it fun to see what type you are. You could borrow a book from your library on explaining the different types. My person gave me hard copies of my type, so I took them to a nice tree in the woods and read through them.

By the way, i'm an ISTJ (that was what was on my Myers-Briggs result, as well as the one above, so it looks to be pretty consistent).

Visit a Bead Store

Check out a bead store in the area. If you've already done that, visit one you've never been to before. Or take a class. Explore all of the different shapes, colors, and sizes of beads. If you get inspired, ask for a "bead board" to borrow while you're in the store, and pick out ones to make a simple bracelet, necklace, or earrings.
