I was a tv star for a day!

I got a FREE Sony Tablet from a new talk show!  It is more than awesome!  I wouldn't trade all of the world's libraries for it!  I was also a star in the talk show! 

I got to be on four airplanes!  It was neat!

That means that I got to go to four airports, which was pretty cool, too! 

It's Summer.CherrySeason.Now!

I got lots of cherries here and had some for lunch today !  It's summer, so they are good!  There are  cherry doughnuts that were good here too. 

The Breakers (A Mansion) And The Green Animals Topiary Gardens For Today, Sir!

 Here I am, looking out at the land of Rhode Island.  I'm in a helicopter.  I saw the following picture: 

This is The Breakers. 

I went to a house called the Breakers.  It is extremely expensive and nice.  There is a room for ladies  that has platinum on the walls and mirrors and flowery curtains. 

This is The Green Animals Topiary Gardens.  It has lots of pretty flowers... as well as lots of pretty bees. 

It's the Math Kangaroo!

I got all this from the Math Kangaroo for winning 1st statewide for third graders, and in addition I did win 11th place nationally in terms of third grade!  I'm a math aficionado, if I could say so myself! 

Day 8: The Last Day of Our Vacation

At the water park in Hershey, I went to the Sand Castle.  I also went to a slide in the baby pool!  Wa wa!  You may see it below: 

This is the Falcon, the ride and me. 

Have you ever seen a seal do this in Hershey?  It's amazing to me, but I don't know about you. I loved this trip, and it is my second/third favorite overall. 

Day 7 with Longwood Gardens, Julius Sturgis' shop, and Hershey Park

The above is a nice tree house in Longwood Gardens. 

Isn't this a beautiful water scene that changes? 

This is more pretty water scenery in a conservatory in Longwood Gardens. 

It's raining... tiny water droplet-shaped lights into the pool! 

In the past, machines would twist pretzels like this lots of times per day.  I did this in the Julius Sturgis shop's tour. 

I went on the Frog Hopper, which is for kids.  The Frog Hopper is in Hershey Park.  It isn't too bad for your stomach, but it isn't perfectly calm, either.  I'd certainly rather ride this than nothing, but I would definitely rather ride this than the Tower of Terror.  The Tower of Terror is (and I wish was) in Hollywood Studios, which is in Disney World, Orlando, Florida. 

Day 6 with the Hershey Company

The above is probably the best light-fixture I've ever seen! 

This is the Reese's bar man! 

I'm making a box full of kisses! 

It's a a pound of peanut butter and chocolate at Hampton Inn! 

Day 5 at the Magic Gardens and QVC studio

I went to the Magic Gardens and dad took a few pictures... like this one! 

Would you like a patio with a super-fancy chandelier in the Magic Gardens? 

Ta da!  I also went to QVC, as you can c.  I liked this tour a lot. 

Day 4 with Benjamin Franklin

Hello, Benjamin Franklin!  This was at the Franklin Institute.

This is a two-story model of an enlarged heart behind my head! 

This is a funny show that I was in! 

I am at the top of the stairs that Rocky went on!  There is also quite a view of Philadelphia, which I have spent a few days of my vacation in.  The Franklin Institute is in Philadelphia as well!

Day 3 is owned by Frank Lloyd Wright

This is Fallingwater, which was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.  I have wanted to see it for about one and a half years! 

There are skylights above my head at Kentuck Knob, which was also designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. It is a very fancy but tight place, and so overall I like it. 

Eww!  Anyone for a gigantic rotten apple at Kentuck Knob?

Day 2 at the Turkey Hill Experience and a jail!

Welcome to the wacky ice cream me!  Here I am at the Turkey Hill Experience. 

I'm currently opening a jail door like a guard would at the ruins of the Eastern State Penitentiary, which was a jail.  Now you may see that it is rotting away, though...

Day 1 of our Pennsylvania Vacation

I went to a Crayola factory building and saw a crayon Eiffel tower that has a light on top. 

I was at the coal mine tour, which was about 250 feet below ground.  You may see a map of the coal mine below: 

It was a little scary, hearing the story about the flood in mines while they were in business(and not sealed up, ) and then later hearing, maybe even seeing drops of water falling to the "ground".
