I recently went on a trip to Maryland to see my Uncle Terry, Aunt Barb, and my five cousins. We had lots of fun. We went to the zoo together and got to see the baby panda. We also went to the National Archives and saw the Declaration of Independence. On our way to Philadelphia we went and saw a really cool play called Ruth, which everyone liked. In Philidelphia we got to see Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, Benjamin Franklin's post office and house, and Betsy Ross's house. When we were at Betsy Ross's house it started to rain really hard and we had to buy three dollar ponchos which looked like trashbags. We got a lot of laughs out of that. I forgot to mention that we went to the National Aquarium and Valley Forge. Beccah, Noelle, and Elaine always kept things interesting. Our last day there we got to see a movie called Zoom and we got to eat at the Stone Cold Creamery. That place has the best ice cream in the world. We played soccer a lot and we played Lord of the Rings Risk. Overall it was a great vacation and I really enjoyed spending time with my cousins (Beccah, Noelle, Elaine, Cory, Annalee) and my Uncle Terry and Aunt Barb.
