On Saturday, July 17th, 2021, I made the trip to Whiting, Iowa to watch the film right by the infamous flag pole, where some major scenes in the original "Children of the Corn" movie were filmed. The above image is some of the original "children" reuniting at the flag pole itself.

Marvel's Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. Exhibit - Las Vegas, NV

My family and I visited this exhibit in June of 2021. I highly recommend it, especially if you have younger children. The whole experience is VERY interactive and appropriate for all ages. The cost is reasonable (and even more so if you use Groupon).

 

Great Salt Lake - Salt Lake City, UT

 

The infamous Great Salt Lake. These photos are from June of 2021. Yes, the water levels were low...but I will never forget about the grotesque smell. AND THE FLIES! Between the smell and getting attacked by MILLIONS of flies, I wish I would have skipped visiting this lake.

The Actual Sandlot - "The Sandlot" Filming Location - Salt Lake City, UT

It's hard to believe, but this is where the boys in the hit film "The Sandlot" played baseball in the movie. The was the field where they hit the ball over the fence and lost it to THE BEAST! It's unrecognizable, I know. It's fenced off and on private property, but you can find it near Glenrose Drive in the Glendale neighborhood of Salt Lake City, Utah.
