Boston

       This summer I went on a trip with my school to Boston, Massacutts. We drove up on a coach bus and it took 6 hours. On the way up there we watch Forest Gump:), Blindside, and anothor movie that I don't know cuz i fell asleep. We had to wake up at 5:00 in the morning and get on the bus at school. As you might know i am NOT a morning person! And i think you can tell from camp i am not an easy person to wake up. I am the  type of person who likes to sleep in. Anyway we drove there and it took a while. We stopped 2 times once for lunch (i got chicken nuggets, fries, and a pop) and another for a break. they were both about 15 mins to a half hour. Then we were back on the road again! We were there 5 days and we did a lot.It was only $600. 
          The First day we went to the Old Sterbrige Village. It was what Boston was like 'back in the olden days'. Then we went to this awesome resteraunt called Fire and Ice. It was like a buffet you could get what ever you wanted and they would cook it in the middle and joke around. It was really funny and really cool.

This is a picture of me and some of my friends at Fire and Ice.

The second day we went on the freedom trail. which was really where we got a tour of Boston. This was really cool because I got to learn a lot of new things that I never would have known. I got to see Samuel Adams grave and all the people who died in the boston massacures grave. Boston is a really historical city and I love it. The next thing we did was we went on a whale watch. we got to see a bunch of whales (like 3). We saw the full tail of one, the head of one and the body of another so really we saw a whole whale. I was one of the only people who didnt get sea sick. I was prepared and had  a sea band which prevents you from getting sea sick. The boat was very windy but very fun. We have specail boston t-shirts and they all have a whale on them from the whale watch.
         The 3rd day we were there we went to the pruditual tower where we could see all of boston from a very tall building. We could even see that there were pools on top of buildings.It is a big city and people want pools. They dont have room for them so they put pools on there roof. Next we went to Fenway park where the red socks play.we got a  tour of the whole place and it was really cool. To know that you where at a place where really famous baseball players play is really cool. The last thing we did that day was we went on a duck tour. We traveled the city and went from land to water. Once we were in the water we all got to drive the boat.

          Finally, on the last day we went to the Boston Aquarium and saw penguins and a lot of other animals.It was interesting. Then we went to see a movie at the IMAX theater. I cant remember what it was called but it was some movie about animals. After that on our last night we went on a dinner cruise and danced, sang ate, and watched fireworks.I loved the boston trip.

Here is a picture of the penguins at the aquarium 
         On the last day we drove home and watched more movies. We stopped and saw the New York State senator Cathy Young and walked on the million dollar stair case. Boston was a very memerable and exciting trip. On the way home it was really fun. I sat by my friend Nicole and she was really funny. If you have any questions feel free to ask me! I really reqremend you going
  Love,
