One day we went to a river, The Housatonic River. It was a nice river, very wide, nice for canoeing and rafting. We noticed something and it was a raft store. We made decisions. Could we go rafting now or should we wait until the next time we come to The Housatonic River. We decided to not go, but the next time we came back to the rafting store we would. It was 4 weeks later that we went. When we got there we talked to the person who was running the shop, and she said, “Sorry, but the river isn’t high enough for rafting, but you may go on a canoe or kayak”. So we were very disappointed, we thought that the raft would be really fun. When we went into the canoe we all took back what we said, because this canoe was very fun. It made you tired and you started to fall asleep. It was a great experience, then a couple hours later we got out of the boat. We were at the end, the man was here to bring us back to the little shop, but sadly we missed him because we wondered off. Then, a few girls come in from their boats and asked us, “How long have you been waiting?” “1 hour and ½.” We answered, then finally the man comes, he puts our canoes in the back and we were on our way. That was a great day for us, although we didn’t go rafting we still had great fun.

Philadelphia is a great place. I had to wake up at 4:00 o’clock in the morning, which is not too early for me since I wake up around 5:45 every morning. It was a very long and restless drive, it seemed to me that it took around a day to get there, but it was only 3 and ½ hours. Finally when we got through New Jersey we got into Pennsylvania then it took around another hour to find Philly. We had to arrive at the Betsy Ross House so then the Tom Tom, which was the device that led us to Philadelphia, sent us the wrong way. It told us to stop on the highway, which we did not do, and told us to go on an exit, which was the wrong one. Then, finally after all that drama we arrived at the Betsy Ross House in Philly.
When we got there we went into the house and my Cub master asked, “Have you checked into the hotel yet?” We said “No.” That made us aware that we had to check into the hotel, fast!!! It took 15 minutes to get there and back. We were just in time, we went into the house again and went through the tour, it was very interesting.. The only place I heard about Betsy Ross was in my school. I was shocked to hear that the house was deserted for more than 150 years and was built nearly 210 years ago. “That was amazing” I said when we started to leave the house.
The next thing on the list was Franklin’s Court. We got lost and got there late we still got to do the things everybody else was doing, but we had to do it faster. Well, next, we went into The Printing Office, which was very cool. They had a machine that made copies of the Declaration Of Independence, the actual Declaration we did not see. The next room we went into was The Phone Room. Which was also cool they had loads of phones in there and they had them set up to call Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Betsy Ross and everybody else who was famous in that time. That concluded my visit in Franklin’s Court.
It was now 12:00AM. It was time for lunch, I thought it was good timing because I was starving!!! We went out of Franklin’s Court, and by the time we walked all the way to the plaza, it was already 12:15AM. We had lunch and enjoyed it, and it took around 45 minutes. Then we started walking over to the Liberty Bell, which was so cool. We had to read a bunch of stories first, and then we finally got to see the Liberty Bell, which was huge, it was the size of my 4-year-old brother. It was 2:00AM when we left it was time for our tour of the Courtroom. When that was done we went back to our Hotel we had a sleep. It was now time for supper; we walked to the pizza place and had a large pizza.
When we went to Lights of Liberty it was 9:00 PM. Lights of Liberty is an organized tour with headsets through Benjamin’s lawn. The website link is on my link box. It was 10:30PM when we were done with everything. We were back at the hotel, we slept, and when we woke up the next morning I started packing to go back home and when we walked out to the car it was time for us to go get a breakfast. We didn’t eat in the hotel we went over to a bakery and had a even better breakfast. After breakfast it was time to leave we went to the car and drove away home 3 and ½ hours later we got home and I said these two days were AMAZING!!!!!!

The Empire State Building is very big!!! I walked through New York City once, it was a nice and large city. I nearly passed out when I looked up above me, everthing was so tall!!! I couldn’t believe it, but it was true I saw my first skyscrapers. I guessed they were around 400 feet long. It was later that me and my family discovered the Empire State Building, it was around twice the of the other skyscrapers I saw King Kong was the 50 ft ape that stood on the top of it but that was only a movie.I never went to the top of the Empire state building it has 102 floors 14 times the size of my my apartment.I would love to be on the top of the Empire state building. The biggest tower of U.S.A is in Chicago the biggest of the sky scrapers is in Debai it was starting to build in 2005 and that would take a long time to build.

New york is huge first i woke up on 6.00 in the morning i was exited and then i went on the train from connecticut to New york city and then after the hour on the train i was in the subway not resturaunt the underground subway and then i saw it the grand central station it was fantastic and the how big it was if i lived there i would be rich but that does not matter if your rich or not rich you allways have to be happy with what you are getting and the big trains i love the park called central park and the toy shop and all the other things the toy shop was cool fao schwartz it was BIG and all the toys and all the animals i loved the tiger and the dolphin those are my favorite animals and then central park the really cool park there was a carnival running there and then we went to the subway and it was cool and the and then we went to macdonalds we had some chips to eat and a burger and then we went in to the empire state building but i made a separate blog for the empire state building it is big and then we went home.
