Hey school is finally got out. I haven't posted in awhile and we got out on June 13th. That same week there was a heatwave in Rhode Island, and our school had no air conditioning. It was 100 degrees and in June, it is mostly around 80. So, on the last week of school, we got out of school early.

High honors all 4 quarters (not being a showoff, but hey, it happened.

And:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I went to Virginia on June 20th. I was in the Fredricksburg area in Locusts grove. It was a pretty big town and had everything we needed.

The layout was:

Friday: We woke up at 3:16 in the morning and left at 4 for Virginia. Stopped at seven at a New Jersey reststop and since Burger Kind wasn't open yet, we got Dunkin Donuts. Me and Kyle (my brother) got two chocolate donuts and a coffee colatta. We got at the hotel at 2:00 but the pool closed at the hotel we were at, so we went to the Ramada across the street. It had an indoor pool, really nice rooms, a gameroom, and a resturant. We ate and it took two hours just to get through it (took one hour for appetizers and one for the meal) That resturant wasn't ready for the order my family was gonna give so they only had one waitress and maybe 1 cook! But it was good, and wasn't the Ramadas fault. We went to the gameroom, then the pool and the hottub and then got a snack from the snack machine at like nine while watching a mix of Camp Rock and Jericho on the portable DVD player. The music was so loud in the room I could barely hear the movie that i was listening to when I had earbuds for it in my ear. Then I went to sleep.

Saturday: Go to the house (we rent houses every summer) and then unpack, and go in the lake, while the parents go shopping. The lake was really murky, so it was gross at first going in it, but in the end I had fun. We had a beach across the street from our house (same lake, we were on a peninsula) but we decided to just stay at that one. Then we went to church, ate. It rained, then all the boring stuff.

Sunday: There was a sixty percent chance of rain that day in Doswell, where we were going to go to Kings Dominion. We took a chance and had so much fun. It only drizzled for about 5 minutes. We went on a lot of rides and I was the only one to go on the Crypt. Its a scary ride. Once we left the parking lot it began raining so much.

Monday: Relaxed.

Tuesday: We went to Washington D.C. We took a train from Fredricksburg and then we got off at L'Enfant, I think it was called. From there we took a Subway (first time I ever went on a subway!) to Arlington National Cemertary. I saw the tombstones of the Kenedys and witnessed the changing of the guards. Took the subway and got off at the Smithsonian (no resturants around there) so we ate in the cafetaria they had (it had really good food) Then we visited the mall, including the Lincoln Memorial, and the Vietnam Memorial. We did see the White House from far away but we never got close to it. We took the Subway over 10 stops to get back to a train station, and went home.

Wednesday: We did nothing during the day but at night we did a fredricksburg Ghost tour. Ghosts are not real, but i did take pictures and my brother and mom saw orbs on the pictures we took (I didn't see them) It was very hot at night, but we cooled off with ice cream and cake when we got home.

Thursday: We relaxed all day, went in the pond and relaxed. At around 5, we went to The Country Buffet (pretty popular place in Rhode Island/Massachusetts and happened to be in Locusts Grove), and then we went to Walmart, which was huge there compared to the one I go to in Cranston RI which still is big to walk through. At night we went into the big yard and played Manhunt. I hid in the beach across the street near the porta potty thing. It said it was occupied, which freaked me out and I ran into the cover of the trees in the yard. I made it 2/3 times. We went in at ten and watched TV and played Ping Pong.

Friday: The last day! We left at 12 noon and then for a nine hour drive to New Jersey. There was a ton of traffic at 5, so we were stuck in it for hours. We arrived at the hotel and swam in the pool then went to bed after watching Norbit on HBO

Saturday: Nothing to do that morning, so I went back on HBO and watched Hairsray (hey, I was bored) and then went to IHOP and then went home after stopping at a Dunkin Donuts, where I got the best thing there: a coffee colada. Went home unpacked; that sort of things

Bye
