In Michigan one of the best places to visit is Pictured Rocks National Park in Munising. It's in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and along Lake Superior. You can even rent a kayak and kayak along the colored rocks in the summer! There's a campground and even nearby hotels. There's even a boat tour to go on if you want to get a close-up view of the colored rocks.

One of my favorite landmarks is the statue of Lincoln in D.C. He is so big and looks so powerful. You can even go on a paddle boat across the lake to see other sweet things!

I love to go to Flordia Keys. It is so beautiful with the palm trees, to the salt water beaches, and hotels are luxurios. The beaches are my favorite to go to because I always get sea shells for my collection and once I found a dead sea ray on the beach! From outside my hotel room I could see dolphins! The keys are a amazing sight so go to the Keys!!!!

[Hope]

They have the biggest drop zone or demond drop in the world. my favorite ride is most likely the Vortex!!! They also have the fastes rollercoster ever. i really like going there!!!

[Abigail]

One of my favorite places to go in Michigan is Greenfield villiage. It has a bunch of old things like a carosel, Modle T's, and carreges. It has a farm and train and the Eagle Tavern, with old time food. It ROCKS!

[Lance]

My favorite park is Fenway park it is in Boston Massachusetts. It opened in 1920! Many famous baseball players played for the Red Sox. including my favorite Babe Ruth. And that is why Fenway park is my favorite park.

I like the statue of liberty the most because it symblizes freedom liberty and friendship between france and america

[Emileigh]

I love the Shliterbaun in Gaviston. Texas. This fun filled large water park is the size of 3 big water parks in one. It has over 25 different rides and a nine story body slide called THE MASTER BLASTER it shoots you down a straight down, long, speedy slide at a speed of almost 50 miles per hour! The have a have pool and more. Also hotels down the street.

[Kaitlyn]

My favorite place is the mt. rushmore national memorial in South dakota. You can do many things there like kayaking down rivers by there and stuff like that. At the fourth of july, they put fireworks on the top of mt. rushmore! it's soooo cool!

[joseph]

I love going to the Great Smokey Mountains National Park in Tennnesse. it is so fun there. I like seeing the exotic waterfalls comming from the mountain. The water feels very cold but refreshing. there are all sorts of different types of animals like black bears, and mountain lions. I have seen a mother black bear and its cubs. it was cute. ther are many trails like the appalation trail. it stretches from Main to the tip of South Carolina.

[Elizabeth]

In New Hampshire you can stay at The Grand View Motel. It is right next to Hampton Beach and it is fun! You can do a bunch of contest's and swim, you can even surf. I like it because you can do so much there.

I like going to the Statue of Liberty on July 4 because it looks cool to see things from the crown. I have been to the Statue of Liberty twice (once with school, the other with my parents,) but I've never been in the crown because it was late and the staircases were long.

[shlome17]

I think that its really cool that there opening the Statues crown. I learnd that only 10 people can go on the crown. one day i want to go to the Satue of Liberty and go in the crown. I think that the fier works will look great with the Satue.

[xiomara]
