First I woke up at 5:00 am on May, 18 2008 so we could catch my flight. We got to the airport at 6:00am so we had 10 minutes to spare. So the time went by and we got on to our plane, it was awesome because we got to have first class because someone cancelled out, so we got it.
May, 19 2008
So we landed in Rome Italy at 7:45 am the next day I didn’t sleep a lot so I was very tired. First we went and picked up our rental car because that is our main transportation. I wanted to go to the room and go to sleep but my mom said that we had to eat breakfast at Dal Bolognese. It was famous for its homemade pastas and delectable fish recipes. After we got done eating breakfast we went back to the room and put our stuff away. Then to the Galleria Borghese we went which is an art studio. After we looked at all of the beautiful paintings in the gallery we went back to the hotel and took a nap. Then when we got done taking a nap we went and ate at Da Baffetto here I tried the homemade desserts and pizza. Then after we were done eating we went to the San Silvestro in Capite which is a church. We went back to the hotel and went swimming. Then the last thing that we did that day was go to supper. We went to Alfredo which was delectable, because they’re alfredo was awesome.

The next was also really busy because we went to a lot of places. First we ate breakfast at Archetto was very good. At their place they have stuff like stuffed mushrooms and sausages that were very tasty. Then we went home and waited until the pantheon opened. So while we were waiting we went swimming but my mom went to the hot tub. Then we were off to the Pantheon it was awesome because it has a very tall ceiling. Then ate at Quinzi Gabrielli which is a very highly recommended restaurant for people to They have very good Fish and Shellfish. Then after the very appetizing lunch we went home and watched a movie which was August Rush in which we had brought from home. Then we went to Fontana di Trevi which a very famous fountain in which we threw pennies in. We went back to the hotel and went to the spa because we won a free spa day! Then after the spa we went to dinner which was at the Der Pallaro which was very good. There I tried some cheese and their desserts.
May 21 2008
We woke up kind of late so we went to breakfast late. But that was ok because the owner of the Arnaldo ai Satiri said that it was very busy before we had gotten there. I tried some of their Diced beef with bananas and it was ok but it wasn’t the best I had had.Then since we were late we were almost late going to the Trastevere. Which is another church that was meant to be a warehouse is now a church. So after that we went to lunch at Cicala e la Formica which was good. Then we went back to the hotel because there was a very bad storm so we were late for the Coliseum but that was ok because it seemed like a lot of people were late. Then that was only like a half an hour because we were late so that didn’t take long. But then we went back to the hotel and I went on to the internet and played a few games (that was fun!). Then we went to supper, we had supper at Valentino dell’Hotel Valadier. It seems like they put barbeque sauce on everything. Then we went to the hotel and went to sleep.

Today felt like a good day when I woke up because my mom was still sleeping so I went to the computer and checked my email because I was bored. So when I checked my email. I had seen that I haven’t checked my email in like 3 days (that was a long time for me because I liked checked it like everyday.)Then finally I woke my mom up because I was very hungry. So we went to a restaurant called Maccheroni I tried their famous spaghetti with bacon and onion. Then I wanted to go to Piazza Navona is a huge nativity scene that also maintains a fountain. Then we got back to the hotel and I went back to sleep because I guess I got up to early. I don’t remember when I got up I just know that we went straight to lunch. We went to lunch at Ristorante Alla Rampa I tried Ravioli stuffed with spinach and ricotta cheese ( it was gross.) We went back to the hotel and I went swimming with my mom. We were then off to go to Galleria Borghese which is a museum that had a renewed Daphne and Apollo. Then we went to supper so we could get home and pack because we had to leave tomorrow night. So we went and ate at Porto di Ripetta which was a very good restaurant then off we were to the hotel to go to bed.

Today was the day that we had to leave we left the room at 4:30am so we could get there and not be accidentally late. Finally we were headed home, I mean that I liked Italy but I also missed my home so that was my trip.

My favorite teachers!!!

My favorite teachers are Mrs. Zhukov, Ms.Bush, and Ms. Kleven.I like Mrs. Zhukov because she is always so hyper and I like that in a teacher. Mrs. Zhukov is the seventh grade Life Science teacher. She is a very good teacher she said " I like teaching the seventh grade." She also says that we are very smart for seventh grade.

I like Ms.Bush because she is also a very energetic teacher. She is the Computer/ Craft and Culture teacher she is very good because she explains stuff very well. In Craft and Culture we are making this blog. Also we are talking about online stuff. I like Craft and Culture because I like blogging it is fun. When my other classmates had this class they were telling me about it and it didn't sound like fun but when you actually do it , its fun.

My third favorite teacher is Ms. Kleven she is our Gym and health teacher. The first part of my schedule of school I had health but now I have gym. Today we played pillow polo it is very fun. Also I like gym because we very rarely have homework in that class. In health we had homework like everyday it was dreadful!! Those are all of my favorite teachers!!! : )

Summer!...

This summer I want to go to Florida. In Florida I want to go to Disney World because I have been there once before but I want to go there again. My family also wants to go again because it was so fun.In Florida I also want to go to sea world, because my friend went there and said it was very fun.Those are the reasons why I want to go to Florida.

Also this summer I want to go fishing and swimming because those are the things in the summer that you can not go without.I usually go swimming in my neighbors pool, it is about 4 feet deep it is awesome. I go fishing in a river we (my family) call the "horseshoe" because there is like an island that the river goes around it and it looks like a horseshoe.Otherwise we go to a lake and we barbecue in our little grill.

I also like to stay at home in the summer time like we have bonfires, grilling parties etc... but I also like camping to sometimes it is fun to camp in my backyard it is also scary because it is dark and there is skunks. When I do go camping in my backyard some of my friends come with me. Some of my friends go to this school but some of my friends go to a different school.When I do stay home I like to play outside with my friends and family.Those are my plans for this summer I hope everyone else is going to have a great summer! : )

My hero...

My hero is someone that is very close to me. My hero has been with me all my life and I hope she will be here all my life.My hero is very kind, strong and is very encouraging.My hero encourages me to do good things and that makes me motivated.My hero is also very strong because she has been through many things that may put her down but she is always there for me when I am feeling down.

My hero is my Mother she is the best she has always been there for me and she is just so wonderful. My Mom is always encouraging me to always to do good in school because someday I want to go to college. So she has been encouraging me to do many good things and get good grades in school so I can go to college.My mom not just encourages me she says that she doesn't know what she would do if she didn't have me because I love to take care of my littlest brother his name is Jesse he is 5 years old.

That is why my mom is my hero because I know she needs me and she knows I need her. I have another little hero and he is my youngest brother Jesse he makes me smile everyday that is why he is my hero, Because he makes me smile everyday.My mom is still my main hero though because she is "my lifeline." My mom is one of the most nicest people I know. She will always be my hero even when she is dead. :)
