Amazing experience. So on my family's vacation to Hawaii this year we spent 3 days on Oahu. After extensive research, I convinced my dad to go on this hike with me. We woke up at 2AM and parked in a nearby neighborhood around 3AM or so. ...

Went with Captain Don's Fishing Charter for a half day while in Hawaii and had a bunch of fun. I caught about a 20 lb. bluefin tuna but it took me forever to reel it in because I had hooked it in the tail and it fought like a beast. Two ...

 Some friends and I decided to explore the abandoned Peter's Cartridge Company factory in Kings Mills. It is an ammunition factory dating back to the Civil War. Cops regularly stake it out looking for trespassers with the intent to keep ...

 Went with some friends to a drive in movie theater to see Superman v Batman: Dawn of Justice. It was a blast. Took blankets and pillows and the four of us layed together in the back of a pickup truck. We ended up just chatting and takin...

Life changing trip. I was there for 2 weeks. I stayed with a host family the Fuentes'. They lived in a 4th floor apartment in the center of Barcelona. What an amazing trip. Visited La Sagrada Familia, Camp Nou, Park Güell, Montserrat, th...

I had paella while on a trip to Barcelona. I was in Sitges with my host family and they made me try it. It was absolutely disgusting. I was a good sport about it though and suffered through a decent amount of it. Yuck! I will say however...

Today was the start of the shenanigans squad. Me Tyler, Brecka, and Elsa climbed up onto our church roof in the dark and just sat there together talking. It was a lot of fun. While we were respectful and I do not believe going up there w...

 Once upon a time Luke, Michael, and Jonathan were on a run in the snowy woods. It was 11 degrees out. Jonathan stripped as Michael would say, "Bare Ass Naked," except for his shoes and socks, and jumped into the river. This literally to...

I had the opportunity to go on a tour of the Greater Cincinnati area in a helicopter with 3 other guys from my cross country team. We did a run at Lunken Airport on morning, in the bitter cold and then one of my teammates' grandfather to...

Over Christmas break some friends and I went down to the Florida Keys. While down there we went to Robbie's Marina and fed Tarpon straight from our hands. It was awesome! Had some fish tacos after and it was definitely a 5/5 awesome expe...

On my third high adventure with my Boy Scout troop I attended Florida Sea Base. We flew down on Saturday and because of terrible traffic on Highway 1 did not arrive at the base until it was dark. We did our swim tests in the pool and pra...

 I went on my second Boy Scout High Adventure to West Virginia where we did two days of intense hiking and two days of white water rafting. While the hiking was extremely beautiful, it was so hard my friends and I dubbed it "diking" (dum...

Went to visit my great grandma on her 101st birthday in Asheville, North Carolina. We took her on a tour of the Biltmore Estate in a wheelchair. Holy cow what a mansion!!  

I was given the opportunity to go with the youth of my stake (I'm LDS) on a pioneer trek to reenact, for a short period of 3 days, the long trek early saints made across the U.S. We were not permitted to bring cell phones, electronics, o...

I went to the first Raven's game in 2012 in which they played the Cincinnati Bengals. I had this opportunity because Dennis Pitta, the Ravens starting tight end, and his wife had grown quite close to my aunt and her family. The Pitta's o...

When I was 12 years old my dad took my brother and me to the Himalayas in Nepal to hike. We met some of the nicest people we have ever met and built great relationships with many. The poverty found up in those mountains was heartbreaking...

 My dad took me out to Salt Lake City to attend General Conference as a present for my 12th birthday. What an amazing and spiritual experience!!!

Me and my friend and my brother made a video because we were bored. There was an ice storm so the grass was crunchy and the pavement was extremely slippery. I videotaped the whole thing. It was actually really fun. https://youtu.be/AysOQ...
