I visited Alaska because of the beauty of the
scenery. You may see green grass on one side and
white snow on the other. The weather is about the
same there as it is here. The sights you see are
moose, bears, and wolves.

Gould Farm. Our travel plans were to look into a
job in Atkinson, Mass. and a group home in
Waltham, Mass. We went to a coffee shop in
Boston, Mass. On the way home we stopped on the
highway at Burger King and Friendlys. Gould Farm
is in Monterey, Mass.

Mady and I went to Niagara Falls on July 29. We
did a lot of fun things. We took the Maid of the
Mist boat under the falls. We took a walk under
the falls and saw rocks. We went to the museum to
see different things. We saw the barrels and
boats that people used to go over the falls. Then
we went to a restaurant that looks like a
spaceship for lunch and looked at the view. Then
we headed home.

I went to Middleton Connecticut. I liked the
scenic views. We ate lunch with Bobby, Bills
good friend. Then we went riding and shopping all
over. The radio in the car played pretty music. I
also heard birds chirping and crickets singing
peacefully. I did not want to come back from my
journey to Connecticut.

Janes Journal Entry, page 1
My family, all my friends, and I went on a trip
to California to tour a lot of places that are
points of interest to me and everyone on the
trip!!! We went to the theater of the stars
and our next joint venture was to go to Mann's to
see stars hand and foot prints, and signatures.

We also visited the major Hollywood studios of
yesteryear to tour the old movie sets!!! The
thing I liked about Manns is that it is steeped
in the history of a time known as the Golden Era
of Hollywood. Actors and actresses went to see
the movies they made in that particular movie
theater.

I read in a Story recently that when the old
Graumans Chinese Theater was sold, the new
owners searched for a different name. Someone
came up with calling it Mann's Chinese Theater.
They call it Chinese because its built like a
Chinese Pagoda.

I woke up around 5 AM and took a shower,
got Dressed, and watched some TV. Around 7AM I
left my room and went across the street to have
breakfast. I then went to Crater of Diamonds
State Park and started mining for diamonds. By

diamond exchange and sold them for 1,500.

I visited this scenic area while in Montana. It
is the Glacier National Park. I enjoyed my stay
there a lot. I thought it was a breathtaking,
wonderful, and exciting place to be. The
mountains were tall and majestic. I would
recommend this place to anyone visiting Montana.
