5/4/09 Dear Journal, Yesterday our parents told us to pack up because we were going to go on a ROAD TRIP ALL AROUND OHIO as a suprise vacation. Today was our last day of school so we are leaving for akron (which is were we are going first) sorry but I have to go get in the car for our first roadtrip northeast to Akron. Were staying in the Courtyard by Marriot hotel for the next two nights. Bye grace

5/5/09 Dear Journal We got to Akron last night. Right now is the only time today I was able to write because we had to do so much. First, we went to the Akron Zoo and saw more animals then I have ever seen in my life. My favorite animal I saw was the red panda. Here is this awesome picture I got of the cutest one.

After the zoo my Mom took Chloe and I to see the play Annie at the Carousal Dinner Theater while my Dad, Abby and Allie watched a movie at the hotel. I personaly just got in the hotel room and took off my scratchy dress I had to wear for the play to write to you about my exciting day.

p.s. Oh yeah by the way tomorrow were going to the great wolf lodge for a day of fun at the water park yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5/6/09 Dear Journal I am super excited because we are getting in the car with all of our stuff ready for the hour ride to the Great Wolf Lodge. After a day of playing in the water park we are going to stay for the night. Here's a picture of our room. Got to go. Grace

5/6/09 Dear Journal Today was as fun as ever because for one my sisters actually played with me and two we had the funnest time at the great wolf lodge. Allie and Abby went on all of the slides but I was to scared and I only went on two. I took this picture before we started playing because I insisted we do.



Abby was so mean because she told me that the blue slide was not even dark just to get me to go on it. Well I went on and it was pitch black so I ended up saying prayers on the way down.

Grace

5/7/09 Dear Journal Right now I'm on my way to the car carrying all my stuff well I guess I left my watch with my dad but still. We are going to Lake Erie where we are going to go to see a Lighthouse, go to Water World and go to the beach for a while. Write later

Grace

5/7/09 Dear Journal We just finished walking all the way up the Lighthouse I'm tired... the Lighthouse was built in 1822 so Chloe and I got super scared that it would collapse plus I just don't like that type of feeling. We are finally at Waldameer Water World for our funnest time yet. Bye Grace

5/7/09 Dear Journal It was fun so fun we went on so many roller coasters. I did not want to go on any but my dad made me and I had a blast. My favorite part was when we got to ride in the lazy river. We all had to hold tubes so we were like a big circle, now this did not help us get through any faster but we were all safe and happy. Good night Grace

5/7/09 Dear Journal Right now we're at the beach, well Lake Erie's beach. My sisters are all doing the obstacle course my dad made. The waves are huge and I just got washed under the water. I've decided that at least for now I will stay out of the water. Abby has come to join me on the peer oh yeah I'm actually sitting on the peer feeding the fish. Well I have to go. Grace

5/10/09 Dear Journal I learned so much about Harriet but I only have time to talk about the importants of Harriet. Harriet Beacher wrote the book __Uncle Toms Cabin__. This book opened up the eyes of people all around the world about slaves. This book was trying to stop slavery and had a part in why they started the civil war. Grace 5/11/09 Dear Journal We just got in the car from the Ohio Caverns. The Ohio Caverns is this really cool place were you can search for gems and look at all the different landforms.

Boca is so fancy, I'm eating this dish that is really yummy but I dont know what its called though. I know it had a egg on the bottom and I think it has spinach on top.
