Favorite places in America


Every summer my mom and I try to take a road trip. We have been to Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Tennese, Georgia, Mississippi,Washington DC, Florida, Alabama, and this summer we are going to go to Missouri, Kentucky, and Illinois. I ahve been to alot of attraction and seen alot of countryside, but I do have my favorites. I really loved seeing car henge. It is like stone henge, but they are cars spray painted grey. Mount Rushmore was really cool, because the weather was nice and it seemed like we were posing for postcards.In New Mexico and Tennese we went white water river rafting, and that was alot of fun. Also in Tennese I went to Graceland, Elvis' house, we rode horses, we saw the grand ol' oprey, and went to the wild horse saloon. I am really looking forward to going to Chicago this summer!!

P.S. we usually take our dog

Terrorist Attacks


In 2001 the World Trade Center in New York was attacked by Al Qaeda. Very many people had their futures taken from them that day, and many people lost loved ones.It is a day that will forever stand out in my mind. I was 7 years old when it happened, and I just remember that everywhere you went there was the footage. The planes crashe into those towers for days. That was all that was on the nes. And the news was pretty much the only thing that ever played on televisions. The pentagon was also attacked. Since then we have tightened security. It was a wake up call, and I hope that no one anywhere ever has to go through something like that ever again.
