Hello! Day 12 was good. We got up at a normal time, had breakfast, and I did a workout. It was really normal, again. nothing big happened, besides . Sorry about how little I’ve been blogging, we haven’t had very much happen. That’s all for now. Bye!

Hello! Sorry I got behind on posting, I forgot to do it! Day 11 was another pretty normal day. I got up at 8:30 and had breakfast. A little while later, I went for a run, which I increased in distance from the last run I went on. As usual, we did chores most of the day. We all had lunch at different times. The next chapter of Deltarune, a game I’ve been enjoying, released on this day at noon so I played that for a little while. We kept doing chores for a while and then had supper. I played some more games for a bit, and then we all went to bed. That’s all for now. Bye!

Hello! Day 10 was busy. I got up at 9 and had breakfast. Then I went and did a workout downstairs because it was raining. The past couple of days have been very chore heavy, and this day wasn’t that different. We vacuumed, I did the dishes and did the dishwasher, and I also helped to put out the birdfeeders. We all had lunch and continued to work on our chores. Laura did some weeding in the driveway, and Mum went for a run and got very wet. We had meatloaf for supper and then we played cribbage together. That’s all I can remember for now. Bye!

Hello! Day 9 of our road trip was very busy. I got up at 10, had breakfast, and went for a mile run in the morning. I started to build a LEGO Pikachu I got at the field museum. We all made a list of chores for us to do and got working on it, and that took the majority of the day. I vacuumed the house and cleaned up my room. It wasn’t a very exciting day. We had lunch around 1:30 and kept working on our chores. I finished building the LEGO, and we had supper. Laura and I played some Minecraft together, and we went to bed. That’s all for today. Bye!

Hello! Day 8 of our road trip was long again. We got up at 7 to get breakfast from the hotel and pack up. Laura and I walked around the hotel for a while to get some steps in. We then started our drive. It was pretty normal. I listened to music and played some games. The view was really nice again, like the last day. After 3 ish hours of driving, we crossed into Canada! We stopped in a town for lunch and to visit a chocolate shop. We kept driving for a while, and Laura and I played a Wii emulator on her laptop. We all stopped at a Tim Horton’s for supper and then drove the last 2 1/2 hours to our house in Nova Scotia. We unpacked our stuff and went to bed. That’s all for now. Bye!

Hello! Day 7 of our road trip was great. We got up at 5:30, which was very annoying. We packed everything up and then left because the hotel wasn’t offering breakfast at that time yet. We drove for a while in daylight, which felt very strange at 6 in the morning. We drove for two hours and then stopped at a rest stop to get some breakfast from Starbucks. We kept on going and the area became a lot hillier as we went on. We were in some really spotty connection for a while, but my phone connected to the internet this time! We drove through New York and went to the King Arthur Baking Company in Vermont to pick up Mom and Laura from a baking class they were doing. We had lunch at the cafe in the baking company, which was really good as could be expected from a baking company. We’ve now driven through some of New Hampshire and we’re in our hotel. We’re going to have the bread that Mom and Laura made in their baking class with our supper. While we got up really early, that means that we’ve made it to the hotel at a reasonable time! 🙂 On a random note, the clouds and sky today looked really cool because of the long sunrise and sunset. The area we were driving through was also really, really nice to look at because of how green it was. That’s all for today. Bye!

Hello! Day 6 of our road trip was long and boring. We got up in the morning and had breakfast at the hotel, as usual. Then we got in the car and drove for a while. The weather was less rainy today. We stopped at Burger King for lunch and then kept going. I saw some deer on the side of the road. We went through Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and into New York. We spent the evening repacking the car so that we can pick up Mum and Laura. Since there wasn’t much today, I figure I should mention some stuff I forgot on day 4. The moon that night was an incredible crescent, and Venus was really visible next to it. Also, along the side of the road were loads of fireflies, which made the end of the drive way more interesting. That’s all for today. Bye!

Hello! Day 5 was really busy. We got up at 8, as usual, and had breakfast at the hotel. I got a bacon and cheese omelet, and dad got a Full English Breakfast. After we were done, we went out to the Chicago Field Museum, meeting with one of Dad’s friends and her kids. We started at the gems exhibit, and then went to meteorites. After that, we went to the DNA section for a little while before going to a prehistoric fossil timeline! It tracked from the really early beginning of life in the ocean with simple lifeforms, and ended on the evolution of modern humans. It was really detailed, and included eras not normally mentioned by most museums I’ve been to, like the early human period, and the Cambrian Period, which is my favorite. It has a bunch of really weird sea life, like the Anomalocaris, a very strange creature which was the apex predator of that time period, please look it up since I don’t know how to describe it; Trilobites, which are the ancestors of the horseshoe crab; the Hallucigenia, a worm-like thing with long spindly legs and spikes on its back; and the opabinia, a really funny creature with 5 eyes, a worm like body, and a mouth on the end of a trunk on its face. Also in the Evolution section was Sue, the most complete and best-preserved T. Rex fossil ever found. After that, we went downstairs to the café for lunch and then went to an exhibit about the creatures that live in soil. Once we were done, Dad’s friend and her kids left and we went to an exhibit comparing the fossils of Pokémon to the fossils they were based on. It was really cool, since the Pokémon “fossils” were created at accurate size to their size in-game. We got an exclusive, really cute Pikachu plush from the gift shop and left at about 4. We went back to the car and hung around for a while before walking to a sandwich shop for supper. After that, we went to a live recording of Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me! It was really funny and went on for over 2 hours because of the retakes that the people had to do. Afterwards, we walked bac to our car and drove to the hotel for the night. That’s all for today. Bye!

Hello! day 4 of our road trip felt very long, for some reason. We got up at 8:00 and went to have breakfast and then did a workout in the hotel’s gym. After that, we got packed up and headed out for the day. The drive was shorter and very rainy the whole way through. at around 3:30, we got to our friends’ house and stayed over for supper. After that, we drove to our hotel in Chicago. the sky was really blank because of the sheer amount of light pollution that there was. However, there was still the moon which looked really cool. We’re at the hotel now, and we’re about to go to bed. That’s all for today. Bye!

Hello again! I forgot to mention this yesterday, but we saw a barn owl while we were driving on the highway. It wasn’t doing anything interesting, just hanging out. Day 3 of our road trip was shorter than some, but we spent the morning at Graceland, which is where Elvis Presley lived. It’s now a museum dedicated to his life and work. It was really long and took our whole morning. we got there at 10 and only left at 2:15. The major parts we saw were his mansion, a museum specifically dedicated to his shows, and a timeline of different parts of his life. My favorite part, however, was his airplanes. We had lunch at the diner in Graceland, and we continued with our trip. The weather has gotten a lot cooler than it was in Texas, and the skies were nice and clear. We didn’t do very much over the drive, and we stopped at a truck stop for dinner. We’re now at the hotel for the night. We went through Tennessee, Arkansas, and Illinois. That’s all for today. Bye!
