The Everglades

I'm almost at Disney and my parents are planning what we are going to do at Disney.  But I'm going to write about the Everglades as I have not written about the yet.

 This is a very weird plant I found in the Everglades.
Sorry it's blurry, it was a windy day. 
This is an Anhinga.

We also saw giant alligators and a crocodile and went on a boat ride.

The ranger said that people think it is dark or dry or marshy but it is actually like a big lake with little bits of land scattered all over the place.


This is an alligator in the wild they're really cool if you see them up close.

We also went to a place called Key West (not in the Everglades) it is the furthest south you can go an there were lots of bridges on the way there and back.

Charleston + Savannah

On the night I did my last post we decided to go for a walk and saw an alligator in the water then the next morning we went to the gardens again to find that there were alligators blocking the path there was one big one smaller one. 
This is an alligator

This is me with some turtles.

Now we are in Savannah, Georgia. The birthplace of Juliette Gordon also known as Daisy. She was very creative as told in the tour we took in her house. It said that there was a painting of her grandfather that looked so bad everybody put it away... Then Daisy took it out one day got out her paints and changed it to a painting of her uncle.

The reason there are tours of her house is because she started girl guides/scouts. I got a badge for brownies to say that  I went there.

After that we went on a hunt for animals that was especially for girl guides/scouts and brownies what we were looking for was concrete animals the you would fill in a word to finish a poem to do with what you had found.

I also got an ice cream from the best ice cream parlour in the U.S.A.

South Carolina

I am in South Carolina (it's on the right side of the map and it's medium sized and it's purple). The dam that I went to was not the Hoover am it was a small dam that does not have a name (the Hoover dam is in Nevada a purple state next to California I went to a dam in Virginia a aqua state on the right above a yellow state). I just went to a place where
1. the Wright brothers did their first flight and
2. the place where the first English baby was born
3.it's yellow and on the right side of the map

The answers are at the bottom

well I am in the USA. Our plane was a rugby world cup plane. The safety video was really funny because it had people that were naked and had painted clothes on. We also went on another plane from LA to DC and we got to my grandparents on a private taxi (my grandma came too) at three in the morning.
This is Kaylen my grandparents dog.

almost gone

I am writing this about 28 hours from when we are going to leave. My dad has ordered a kindle fire and is waiting at my grandparents house. A kindle fire is sort of like an ipad except you can read books on it and it is smaller. I think that my favourite part of the trip is going to be going to Disney world. we are going there for about 4 days. we are also going to visit my Auntie,Uncle and my 4 cousins Arwen,Aidan,Ronan and Kieran.
