Visit to Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial


This morning my family and I got up early to go and see the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor. When we arrived, there was a long line of people waiting to get into the building. We finally did get in and went to the store there. I bought 3 magnets and something else too. There is also a museum there too but we didn't go this time. Then we went to the line to see the movie in the theater. The movie was great. As soon as the movie was done we went out the exit to the boat that takes us to the USS Arizona Memorial. The boat ride was fun. We got to the Memorial and looked at the USS Arizona in the water. You should go see it for yourself sometime. There were many men that died on the ship. Only a few survivors. It is interesting to walk around the Memorial and see the different views of the ship and other parts of Pearl Harbor. We had another fun boat ride back to the building and then we went all the way back home. I had a Blast! I'm sure the rest of the family did too!

Entering The Year 2008


On the last day of the year 2007 my family and I were invited to go to a friends beach house to spend New Years with them. We swam in the pool, threw a foot ball and rugby ball, shot firecrackers, swam at the beach, ate food, and did a lot of other fun stuff too. My favorite part was shooting firecrackers. We shot firecrackers from sometime after 8:00 pm to after 1:00 am. When 12:00 midnight came the electricity went off. We started shooting the bigger firecrackers. I went to bed sometime after 1:00 am or early 2:00 am. I slept very well and got up the next morning, ate breakfast, and then went swimming at the beach. I had a blast!
