When I go to Worlds of Fun I am going to ride a lot of rides. I am going to eat a lot of junk feed too. I am scared of roller coasters but I just might get on one. I will have to see. I am going to explore the park doing things that I have never done before like getting a temporary tattoo. I think that sounds fun. I am going to get dizzy and wild!!!!!
The park opened in 1973. It was origionally built by Lamar Hunt and Jack Steadman. In 1995 Hunt- Midwest sold Worlds of Fun to Cedar Fair Entertainment Co. It costed 322 Million Dollars to open worlds of Fun. Worlds of fun was built 10 years before Oceans of Fun.

When I go to Houston I want to go see all of my family. I was born there and I go there almost every summer. It is always so hot you want to kill yourself but it never gets old. There is so much to do. I want to go the beach, I go there ever time that I go to Houston, and the salt may hurt my eyes but I still have fun. I also want to go see my aunt Sandi she just got a new house built and it is huge so I want to go stay with her. Someday I plan to move to Houston and reunite with my family.
Houston, Texas is the second largest state in the world. Houston has a population of 1.9 million people. More than 90 Languages are spoken throughout the Houston area. Houston is the fourth largest city in the United States. It is the energy capital of the world.

When I go to Stone Mountain in Georgia I am going to go climb the mountain. I have done it a lot but I used to complain when I did it so now I want to see if I can do it without complaining. When I walk up and back down it usually takes about 45 minutes total. Then I want to go see the Laser Shows they do I was always scared to go there, because I was always scared of fire works I think I still am but I would have to see. I also want to visit my mother she lives there and I live in Iowa because she works a lot.
Stone Mountain is the largest exposed granite dome in North America.It has a summit elevation of 1,683 feet. I have climbed it it is very high. At its base it is more than 5 miles circumference. My mom has walked all five, "she is a very strong woman."It is known for its bas-relief on its north face, it is the largest bas- relief in the world. The large granite dome extends under ground to several surrounding counties.

When I go to see the statue of liberty I want to take a lot of pictures. I went when I was a baby and I don't remember what I saw so I am going to make a new memory. I am going to see it. I am going to read a lot of history about it and I am going to try my best to learn as much as I can while I am at the Statue of Liberty. The rest of the time that I am going to be there I am going to visit all the attractions.
The Statue of Liberty started its birth in France in 1875. Sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi was commissioned to design the sculpture. It was made to commemorate centennial of the American Declaration of Independence. The United Stated lighthouse board had the responsibility for the operation of the Statue of Liberty until 1901, then the War Department took control of responsibility.

This is a blog post about how I prepared for my trip around the world. First, I got together everywhere that I was going to go. Then I got the money together. I booked all of my airplane tickets. I figured about how many clothing items that I will need to bring. And then i checked out the weather to know what kind of clothing I would need to bring.
