Personal Narrative-Lincoln Memorials

After security we went to ghost town. Then we did the pledge of allegiance, pretty wierd starting off with the pledge of allegiance. When we finished it was time for the first fun thing we did, We went to a replica of a train station and train. The train station was fun until a robber came I was so scared I face was pale as a marshmallow. At first I thought it was real, but it was fake. Our class got to see how people made candle in the 1800s. So first you get a rope then you dip it in wax and let it cool in a bucket of cold water, pretty simple, but here’s the hard part you have to dip it in that about one billion times. That's an exaggeration but you know what I mean. Next our class went to find out how to make a horseshoe if you don’t know what’s a horseshoe search it

After visiting all of the extra credit historical sites I can confidently say that the place that I enjoyed the most was Fort Point. I enjoyed Fort point the most because it consist of history from multiple time periods. The fort was originally a Spanish one that they constructed to defend the newly occupied San Francisco bay. After the Spanish abandoned the fort the Americans would eventually take it over and use it all the way onto the civil war. I think this fort is quite interesting because as a resident of the bay area I never think of another country sailing into San Francisco bay and trying to take it. But back in the early days of California that was a constant threat to the people that lived here and that is why Fort point was so important.

It was the best place I had ever been and it came and left. I wanted more to time. I wanted to spend more time at the Steven F. Udvar Hazy Center. That was one of my favorites because there was so much to see, especially the plane that bombed Hiroshima. Also at the Arlington National Cemetery, I truly wanted to walk around more and see the graves of those who have fallen. One the first day I was given the opportunity to visit the Jefferson Memorial. I already knew about Thomas Jefferson, so I didn’t expect to be surprised. I soon found out that I was wrong. Jefferson was a man of mystery, I figured out that he wanted an agricultural nation, were we farm. His statue was standing in front of

One was the journey Sal took with Gram and Gramps throughout the United States to get to Lewiston, Idaho in one week. They traveled to Lexington, Mount Rushmore, and then to Old Faithful. These tourist attractions are some of the few places Sal, Gram, and Gramps visited on their road trip.

Unfortunately, the two day trip had to come to an end. Being born and raised in a town where Walmart is like a mall and gas stations serve as a hangout spot, Nashville opened my eyes so I could see that the world is much bigger than what my mind set it to be. Because Waynesboro provides little to no excitement, everything that I laid my eyes on was very unusual yet thrilling. I have only seen pictures of busy and bright cities, but I never really experienced what it’s like to amble around in one. I did not visit the wonders of the world, but I did visit a city that showed me a portion of the diverse types of amusement the world has to

Afterwards, we went on the scavenger hunt, that part was my favorite part of the trip, because we broke up into our groups to look for information around the museum. The scavenger hunt was the most enjoyable part of the trip because of the group was in, we all got along well and worked great together. I was lucky to be in a group with some of my best friends.

After our brief but rewarding visit we return to the road as we travel to our next destination. I would have to say, the most interesting memorial before dinner had to be the Jefferson memorial, its size and grace were quite amazing. After the mesmerizing trip to the memorial, we return to the road again to go to dinner at the mall. My partner and I end up going to a cinnabun for some very rich cinnamon rolls. After our short but enjoyable dinner, we return to our tour and start our small night tour. We first stop at the beautiful and grand Iwo Jima memorial, I took one of the grandest of pictures while we were stationed at the memorial. Afterwards we head to arguably one of the most amazing memorials, the Lincoln memorial. Arguably one of

The Mall of America was a new experience for me since I have never been in a mall as big as it. I had also never been to Minnesota, so it was a nice experience. The first thing I remember us doing was getting grouped together by a cartoon themed shop. We then planned out who would do what and where

After everyone were sent on their own to investigate she went back to her desk as everyone else did. Since she wasn’t paying attention, she thought she’d ask her desk pod buddy, Melissa, what the meeting was about after she told her that she was sort of off track during the whole thing. She felt close to Melissa as she was a good listener and she gave good advice, like they were real and close friends. Melissa being the good listener, she understood her situation and decided to help her with what was going on as they were going to be partners after all.

The Highlight of the trip was probably my trip right outside Zion National Park, In the morning we planned to just hike and be by ourselves. The thought of a plethora of people, mostly tourists scares me, all I wanted that day was to be surrounded by my friends and my dog. Initially, we planned on hiking Angels Landing in Zion National Park, but since pets are not allowed we had to change our itinerary for the day. Therefore, we asked a local for close hiking places nearby that was secluded and allowed dogs, we were told to visit and hike Eagle Crags. Eagle Crags turned out to be a perfect match for my trip, it was about twenty-five minutes away on almost inaccessible dirt roads from Zion, but it was well worth it, there were no one else on

During the trip, the train stopped several times at tourist sites, called Girdwood, Portage Glacier, Spencer Glacier, and Grandview. All the passengers would take pictures of the sites. We were on the train for approximately five hours, and arrived at Seward Railroad Train Station around 11:00 am. We had to wait for our luggage to be unloaded and picked it up from the East entrance. Then it sent to The Sea Life Center. Because we slepped there that night.

Tricia and Justin brought their little boy, Lincoln, in for his very first session in my newborn photographer studio. He was born on July 27, which made him 8 days new when I met him. Lincoln was a tiny little guy weighing 5 pounds 13 ounces at birth.

I am writing about two museums that I would like to visit someday. The two museums are the Smithsonian and the American Museum of Natural History. I learned about the museums from their websites: http://www.si.edu/ and http://www.amnh.org/ , which offer a vast array of activities and information about the museums. The Smithsonian actually has several museums. Some of them are located in Washington DC, and some of the others are in New York.

Last summer I visited to Golden Spike National Historic Site where they completed the Transcontinental Railroad. I hiked along the abandoned grade of the railroad which went through large cuts and over giant fills. Another location that I have visited is Steamtown where they repair and run old trains. It was fascinating to walk around the yard, watch the locomotives move around, and to see what they would have looked and sounded like to see them in their hay day. Gettysburg was another interesting location I have been to. Walking on Little Round Top and exploring the Devil’s Den really make the descriptions in books and textbooks more vivid. Visiting historical locations helps bring them to life and make a persons experience more

The we went to the Ripley’s Believe it or Not Museum. (As a matter of fact I really enjoy their book they put out every year!) Which was quite interesting if I do say myself. There were some crazy things in that quirky
