=Cincinnati= Dear Journal Febuary 20, 2009

My family and I quickly started the car so that it could get warm because it was cold out. We are leaving to the the Kingsgate Marriot in Cinicinnati. Me and my mom and my dad and my sister Megan where all packed but my sister Claire so we had to wait for a half a hour because she did not know what to pack. Finally she finished packing so we where ready to go. It took us two hours to get to Cinicinnati I fell asleep and my sisters were fighting over the dog. My mom was reading a book and my dad was driving. Finally we where there Claire rushed out of the car and went to the back of the car and took her suit case out of the car and ran to the hotel and the person at the the door opened the door and Claire said thank you and ran inside then the person at the door smiled at my dad and my mom. My mom had to wake me up and Megan dropped our dog on me and my dog nocked the air out to me but I did not blame my dog I blamed sister Megan. All of us went in to the hotel and checked in and went up toare room are room was sweet here is a picture of are room.



Good bye Rachael

Dear Journal July 21, 2009 Today we went to the Cincinnati [|Zoo Botanical Garden] it was so fun I saw animals I never saw before. Izzy our dog barked at every animal there but some of the animals that Izzy was going to bark at well we though that she was going to bark at them but she his behind my dad. We walked around the whole zoo here is one of the animals I saw.

Then we drove home in a car we rented and went back to the hotel and went up to are room and my mom said it was time to go to sleep but we did not want to go to sleep so we went down to the place where we eat and we ate and ate and then Claire got sick so we had to go back up to are room but when Claire and my mom turned there back Megan and I grabbed lots of these tiny chocolates with out my mom knowing and we all went up to the room and why my mom was getting ready to go to sleep I popped one of the chocolate in to my mouth and went to sleep. .

Today we went to the [|Carew Tower] it was so cool there I saw pictures of people that where in the war I am glad that we did not bring Izzy because if we did she would get scared from the big big dogs that were there as a replica so they looked like dogs from a long time ago.We went around the whole Carew Tower and then I saw a big big train that looked like it was real here is a picture of it.

Then we went to the [|Cincinnati Art Museum] and guess who I saw there? I saw Mona Lisa I think it was the real painting by Leonardo da Vinci it was so cool I was kinda nervous around the painting because lots of people want to get there hands on that painting so I thought that people would just barge in and steal the painting but then I thought no body could because there are guards everywhere so people could not steal it and here is a picture of it. We decided to quickly go to the [|Cincinnati Fire Museum]. I saw a big shiny fire truck it had a real dalmatian on it, it was so cute.We had to go back to the hotel because it was dark out so we went back and went to sleep and tomorrow we are going to Columbus, I am so excited.

Good-Night Rachael July 23,2009 =Columbus=

Today we were all packed up to go to Columbus my mom said the first place we are going to is the hotel witch is called [|Embassy suites] hotel so I was so exited to go to there so we all got into the car and drove about 1 hour but it felt like 80 hours to me because I really wanted to get inside the hotel so we finally where there and we all went into the hotel and checked in and went up to are room and unpacked this is what are room looked like.

After we unpacked we went to the [|Columbus zoo and aquriem] it was awsome there because there was a petting zoo and a train that you could go on and you could go on a little boat ride it was awsome there I wanted to stay there longer but Megan got tired so we had to go but it was still light out so we dicited to go to the [|Deer Creek] it is a water park I had so much fun I am glad that I brought my bathing suit so I could swim we had so much fun but we had to leave because we wanted to do more things. My sister Claire wanted to go to [|Zoombezi bay] and my dad did want to go to so we went there and it was so much fun there was this big tube and you get on a float and go around and around till you go down the big hole at the bottom it was so much fun here is a picture of the water slide.

I would want to go again but it was getting dark so we went back to the Columbus zoo and looked at the light they were so pretty but I was falling asleep so we went back to the hotel and went to sleep.
