March 6, 2007 Dear Grandma, I had a great
time in Disneyworld. We saw so many different
rides, shows, and characters. My favorite ride
was Space Mountain. It was a roller coaster in
the dark. It looked like we were riding in
space. I wish you could have gone with us. It
was a great vacation. Your grandson, Luke
