The last post...by Paris

Hello, people of the world. We arrived in San Diego on Tuesday. We started school the next day. On our 2nd day of school, we took the bus, which picks us up at 7:05. Really early. Today we had our 4th day of school. I'm ahead in math. My class does IXL(a math website that I absolutely HATE).

I loved our trip. I'm already planning one for next year! You guys should come! And for the last comments I want you to write anything, anything at all, just write something. I'm looking for group participation, people! Even though it only feels like hello, I'm going to have to say the last ever words on this blog:

Byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello, people of the world! Wuz up!

Todays shoutout goes to Mama! Thank you so mush for commenting! The cupcakes were             DE-LISH! (look at her comment, everybody)

Probably the worst thing here is the bugs. I'm being eaten alive! I have 4 bug bites on my left arm, 1 on my right knuckle, and 1 on my knee. They are killing me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Talking about bugs...On Monday night it rained. And you know what likes moisture? Fireflies! I caught two. I saved ones life. I saw it fly into a spider web,  and this big, fat spider came out and did something to it (maybe put venom in it...hopefully not....) and when the spider turned away, I quickly took  the lightning bug out. Look for a new meal, Charlette! 

We are coming to California in 6 days. Miss you all! My school starts tomorrow. Not for me or Audrey, though!

Today I want you to comment about a time you saved something or someone. 

Byyyyyyyeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We just went to Plymouth plantation. It was like a living museum. Here are some  pictures:

 

 

 

We stopped by the beach on the way there. There were huge clams with big squishy thingys.

Byyyyyeeeee!!!!!!!

Hello, people of the world! It's me, Paris(as you probably know). Today's shoutouts are...Alina, Uncle Jens, Aunt Jeniva, and Daddy. Thank you guys for commenting! 

Philly was fun! We had cheese steak(Daddy😀) and went to Independence Hall. We also saw the huge Liberty Bell. 

Sunday was a sad day for the Carter family. It was the day of separation. It was the day Daddy had to go back to San Diego. I miss you!😘

We have kind of been doing a Tour de Cupcake. We have been to 3 shops, two in Washingyton D.C. And one in Boston. Oh, I didn't tell you guys! We took the train to Boston on Sunday night(without Daddy) to Boston. It didn't take long. Mommy messed up and we got off far away from where we were supposed to get off. Oops! Luckily we were able to go on another train. Anyway, back to cupcakes. One of the cupcake places was Georgetown Cupcakes. They have a TV show called DC Capcakes. They were our favorite cakes. The next in D.C. was called Baked and Wired. They had really tall cupcakes. The one in Boston was called SWEET. They had good cakes, but  Mommy thought the frosting was a little waxy. I thought they were fine. Flavors we got at SWEET: lemon, Red, White, and YOU, and Piña Colada. We are one the way to a cupcake place. We might even get macaroons.

Comment topics: What is your favorite cupcake flavor? Where should we go in Pensylvania for cupcakes? Please tell us!

Byyyyyeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

It's impossible to stop thinking about it it's a place where I can feel like year in the 1600s. yesterday went to win on the deck tour and got clam chowder I also went swimming at the YMCA The The YMCA is connected to my hotel I had to do swimming test. I passed it we had to swim to the end and then jumped off and treaded water for one minute.

Philadelphia was fantastic. I cannot believe the weather - it was perfect San Diego weather!

We started off by seeing the Liberty Bell. Then we walked around a bit, got something to eat (duh, it was Cheesesteaks all-around!). Interesting fact: I noticed it was called, "Philly's Cheesesteak". We went on a tour of Independence Hall - which was one of the best tours we've done.

We walked around a little bit more and then we had to run off to catch our train out of town!

I would definitely return, and explore more of the city. But also, it's a good city for the quick pass through, but def. worth the passing through.

Hello, people of the world! Right now I am on a train heading to Philadelphia. We have done 10 things in 3 days: the Library of Congress, the Spy Museum, the Holocaust Museum, the Lincoln Memorial,  the Museum of Native Americans, the Archives, the Air and Space Museum, the Bureau of Printing and Engraving( the money factory), the Capitol Building, and......INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE!!! My favorites where the Library of Congress, the BPE, the Archives, the White House and the Spy Museum. My least favorite was the Holocaust Museum.

I'm super excited for Philly!
Byyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. Comment down below what you think we should do in Philadelphia!

Alex says...

Whoa. So, that was a whirlwind. currently sitting on the train, on our way to Philly for the day.

We packed so very much in during our stay in DC. Our feet are aching, legs sore, and our awe has been maxxed out. I'm sure the kids will wax on about everything we did.

We had amazing meals - every single one of them! There wasn't a bummer meal in the batch! Highlights:

- Finally giving in and letting the kids have Dunkin' Donuts yesterday
- Indian in China Town (heh - it's all Asia, right?)
- Trendy pizza with a great crust, mixed flours of corn & wheat
- A fab. burger joint with the best onion rings I've ever tasted
- Amazing brewery with great eats with friends who'd relocated
- Breakfasts &  tea & cookies at the end of each day at the hotel that were a group affair. It was lovely to chat with so many fellow visitors, and lovelier still to have such kind & caring people running the hotel. I should make a separate post about the hotel experience...

At the end of our day today, the kids and I hop back on the train and head off on our adventure, leaving Nick, who flies home today. Happy about one, sad about the other, obviously.

I'm spending some time contemplating how to do Boston a bit differently - a bit more relaxed. Slowing down a bit more. It really has been exhausting, and I the kids will enjoy the little that we do get to do more.
