Maine

Well today we are in Bangor Maine and tomorrow we will be heading to Prince Edward Island. We got to Bangor around 2:30 and we have been hanging out at the camper since then, we did go to wally world and the pool though. There isnt much to do here so I have spent my time playing games with my grandma like scrabble and my dads favorite game Farkel.

Niagara Falls


Ok so I haven't updated my blog in about well 2 months but I will definitely try and keep up on it especially for the next couple weeks because I am on a 3 week vacation with my grandparents. So far we have been to Niagara Falls in Ontario Canada and right now we are in Massachusetts and tomorrow we are heading to Maine for a day. On Wednesday we will be heading back to Canada to Prince Edward Island (PEI). We will be staying in PEI for about 5-6 days, and then we will be headed towards Nova Scotia. We will eventually be home home either the 15 or 16 of August. The first two days we were in Canada we spent it at Niagara Falls in Ontario. The falls were breathtaking they were so beautiful, I've never seen anything so beautiful in my life. While we were at the falls we took the Maid of the Mist boat ride into the Canadian falls. I had a blast on the boat, we all got pretty wet but it was totally worth it and the water was very refreshing after being in the sun. After the boat ride we took a people mover bus around town and saw the rapids, the whirlpool and we saw the Floral Clock. The Floral Clock was amazing every year it is different, and it is an actual working clock made of flowers and plants! Niagara Falls was beautiful and there was so much to do in such little time! I feel like I have been on vacation for weeks already with everything I have gotten to do. If you ever think about taking a vacation just to get away and you want to see something beautiful I highly recommend the falls, I would go back in a heart beat!

Last Friday, June 13 my friend Emily invited me to go to Michigan International Speedway to watch the time trials for Nascar. I was so excited that she invited me... I had a blast getting to see my favorite race car drivers! (well technically not the drivers but there cars) I got some pictures of Jimmy Johnson and Jeff Gordon's race cars when they were lining up to start thetime trials, and I tried to get a few pictures of some cars that were passing by, but it is prettyimpossible because they are going soooo fast. I had a lot of fun Friday, except the cars areREALLY loud. After the time trials there was supposed to be an ARCA race, however it got cancelled due to the rainy weather, the track was very wet. Since the ARCA race was cancelled emily and I went over to the SPEED booth to see what was going on over there and it turns out that they were doing a broadcast and we happened to get up right to the front row, so we were on TV several times! On one of the broadcasts SPEED interviewed Jimmy Johnson's crew chief, which I happened to get an autograph from. Here are some pictures from my fun day at MIS!!

Dinner at Kobe's

On Saturday night my dad took my mom and I to Kobe's a Japanese Steakhouse. I really enjoyed my meal, and it was very entertaining! The chef comes to your table, and cooks your meal right in front of you on a grill that is built into your table. The food was delicious, my mom and I both got jumbo sea scallops and my dad ordered tuna. I had a blast!

Dinner at Hoggy's

On Friday night my mom, dad and I went to dinner at Hoggy's BBQ. My mom and I ordered pulled pork, but my dad on the otherhand ordered a 1/2 rack of ribs and a 1/2 of chicken. I couldn't believe my eyes when his dinner came out, so all weekend he has been joking with me that we can snack on leftover chicken!
