The Dolphin Room (Mark S, Carter S, Jeremy D)

The place we wan to visit is the Smithsonian Museum. We would like to visit the Smithsonian because it has a variety of different exhibits. Friday 5/20/11 Today most of the day was spent on the air pane. Our flight from St. Louis, Carter's home town, was delayed 1 hour and about 2 minutes. Some of us watched movies while others listened to music. When we got of the plane in Boston, we got in a big fancy bus with comfy seats. The fancy bus took us to the Quincy Marketplace where we ran free for and hour and bought souvenirs. One of which was a Boston Bruins hockey team Pennant that I (Carter) bought. Then we walked to Mike's Pastry and ate some yummy cannolis. YUM YUM. After that we came to the hotel, figured out how to get on the balcony, and Jeremy read the Holy Bible. That is what we did today. -Carter

Saturday 5/21/11 Today is a pretty brilliant day for all of us. First, we went to the Plimoth Plantation where we took a tour through a recreated Pilgrim village of 1627. At that place, we learned about the life of the Pilgrims who came on the Mayflower from England and found the Plymouth Colony. We also learned about the Pilgrims' cautious relationship with the Native Indians. Then, we went to Quincy Marketplace for lunch. After that, we rode the bus to the super special awesome Harvard University which is named by many people as the best university in the world. Next, we quickly drove to the important battle site of Lexington and Concord where we learned about the history of the battle. For dinner, we went to have a delicious meal at the Boston Hard Rock Cafe. We spent about 30 minutes walking around and shopping at the Quincy Marketplace. We arrived back at the hotel by 8 o'clock. Then, most of us enjoyed ourselves and had a lot of fun in an indoor swimming pool and gym. That were all we did today. -Mark

Sunday 5/22/11 We had a pretty good day today. We took a walk on the Boston Freedom trail, and saw many cool places and things. One of our stops was the Old North Church where Paul Revere saw the two latetens out the window to warn that the British were moving. We also saw the Boston Massacre site We saw other historic sites along the way. After the walk, the bus picked us up and we left for New York City. After arriving, we checked into our hotel and then left to have dinner in time square, we had pizza,after which, we went back to the hotel and went to bed. -Jeremy

Monday 5/23/11 Today we woke up and walked to a breakfast buffet at the same place we had dinner in Times Square last night. Then we went to the Top of the Rock. This was a very tall building that you could usually see most of New york from. Unfortunately when we went their was lots of clouds. I bought a big pencil and some post cards in their gift shop. After that we took our subway/walking tour of New York. We went places like Times square and Central Park. After the tour we had an early dinner. Then we went back to our room to change into our fancy clothes for the Phantom of the Opera play. I had to teach Jeremy had to use an iron and after I showed him he did great. After the play we went to our second dinner and had pizza. Then a small group of others, including me went and did some last minute shopping in New York since we were leaving the next day. I bought some magnetic flip-flop clips that had I <3 NY on them. After that we went to our rooms and packed our bags. That is what we did today. -Carter

Thursday 5/26/11 Today we went on our all day walking tour of Washington DC. First we took the subway to breakfast. Then we took a tour of the Capitol Building and saw a hand full of the marble and bronze statues. After that I walked around the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum where I took lots of pictures. When my group was done at the Air and Space Museum we went to the American History Museum to go with another small group on a tour of the U.S. mint. Their were only seven students, including me, and two teachers on this tour. It was really cool to see how the money was printed and made and all of it's different steps. I bought some postcards and then we went to the Arlington National Cemetery. Here we watched four classmates lay a wreath on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier and saw other grave sites. Then we went and had dinner and went back to the hotel. That is what we did today. -Carter
