Hedgehogs
I love hedgehogs. One day I want to own one as a pet. (http://hedgehogcentral.com/). Hedgehogs are spiny mammals indigenous to Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. They are nocturnal and insectivorous. In recent years many people have started domesticating hedgehogs.
Luray Caverns
Luray Caverns is located in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. It is currently the most popular cave in eastern America and the site of my cousin's upcoming wedding. This underground cave system is filled with stalagmites, stalactites, and mirrored pools. Its most famous feature is a Great Stalacpipe Organ. This is a very important natural landmark in Virginia.
First Landing State Park
I chose this park because I grew up in Northern Virginia and I was able to visit this park when I was in elementary school. This park has plenty of history - it is the site where the colonists who went on to found Jamestown first landed! This is the most visited park in the state of Virginia.
The Vero Beach Marine Laboratory (VBML)
The Vero Beach Marine Laboratory is located in Vero Beach, Florida. This laboratory provides access to various subtropical habitats like an open coast sand beach, subtidal sand bottom habitats, and coquina reefs. The research at VBML is concentrated on aquaculture, marine biology, and the ecological/physical processes of the coastal zone. VBML is affiliated with Florida Technical Institute. I chose this laboratory because my family vacations in Vero Beach, Florida.

The is a view of the south end of Skaneateles Lake in upstate New York. Skaneateles Lake is one of the Finger Lakes and it is noted for its fresh water. The red marking represents The Glen Haven, the restaurant that my aunt runs. The yellow pinpoint marks the spot where my family held its big reunion several years ago. The two green paths mark the two ways to get from the Glen Haven to my family's cottage.
