Visit to Baltimore Inner Harbor on 31-May-2015

Baltimore is one of America's oldest seaports. Baltimore's recently-renewed Inner Harbor is home to some of the city's best attractions, including the National Aquarium, Maryland Science Center, Port Discovery Children's Museum and Harbor place.

A happening tourist place with fantastic walk along the pier street music, historic ships, shops, games, parks, swiftly plying electric scooters, artist showing there skills, cultural events etc. Spent about 2-3 hours on the harbor in the evening. About 2 mile of scenic walk with Myra, Priyanka, Ankit, Sadhana was very refreshing.

Visited the Swaminarayan Temple, Robbinsville Akshardham (Devnagari: स्वामिनारायण अक्षरधाम) in Robbinsville, New Jersey, is a Hindu temple complex. The complex is very big and a lot work is still in progress though the temple is complete. The inspiration to construct this temple came from Pramukh Swami Maharaj President, BAPS.

Visited the Swaminarayan Hindu Temple with the Paliwals which  is built using Italian marble.  The marble is cut and designed by the Rajasthani artists in India and sent to USA with serial number to be directly used in the construction. Very beautiful and delicate design of the pillars, main hall,and passages out side the temple. The temple has Aksharpith Book  & Souvenir Shop  and Shayaona Sweet and Snacks Center. A nice place to spend a day or half with family peacefully.

Visit to Bushkill Waterfalls and Smithfield Beach on 26-May-2019

Bushkill Waterfalls is a series of eight privately owned waterfalls, the tallest of which cascades over 100 feet (30 m), located in Pocono Mountains in the United States. Beginning at the headwaters of the Little Bush Kill, the water descends the mountain, toward the Delaware River, forming Bushkill Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, Bridesmaid Falls, Laurel Glen Falls, Pennell Falls, and three additional, unnamed falls. The place is also  popular for hiking and birdwatching. The area has a variety of trails and bridges that vary in length and difficulty. The fall is also known as "Niagara Falls of Pennsylvania."

Visited Bushkill Waterfalls and Smithfield Beach with Paliwals and Sadhna for 4-5 hours. Completed a trail for about 2 hours enjoying the waterfall and the nature around.

Lake Hopatcong is the largest freshwater body in New Jersey, United States, about 4 square miles (10 km²) in area. Lake Hopatcong was produced by damming and flooding of two ponds, known as the Great Pond and Little Pond, and the Musconetcong River, its natural outlet.

The place is very scenic and a perfect point for spending day out with family and children with sport activities and swimming.
