My Top Favorite Trips on the RV Adventure (by Elias)

The adventure began in Florida at Walt Disney World in Orlando. The first place we went to was an awesome breakfast buffet. The next day we went to Animal Kingdom and then Epcot. We saw many animals and went on all of the cool rides.

Ther next exciting state we went to was Georgia. In Georgia there was a stream running through our campground and we played in it a bunch (I'm using the word "bunch" because my mom won't let me use "a lot"). Once we even found a crawfish, but we let it go.

Another place we went was Mystic, Connecticut where we went trick-or-treating. I was a Ninja with a sword, Gabe was a bleeding skeleton and Julian was Buzz Lightyear. When we were done we had full baskets, so we got in the car to get something to eat. We picked up calzones to take home.

My favorite place so far was Searsport Shores campground in Maine. It had rocky beaches with many sea creatures like starfish, crabs, fish and eels. My brothers and I caught all of these creatures.

Now I'll tell you about some sights we've been to see so far. When we went to New York City we saw many places like the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Chinatown, Rockefeller Center and Little Italy all in New York! We had to take a boat to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. When we got off the boat at Ellis Island there was a museum with over a million interesting things like pictures and movies of immigrants. When we were done we went to the Statue of Liberty which was super tall, but we didn't go in it. Instead we took pictures. After that we went to the city and went to Chinatown. We at lunch at Dim Sum and then we walked far!

The next sights we saw were in Washington D.C. We went to National Archives building and saw the original Declaration of Independence. Another sight we saw was the Washington Monument. It was so tall it would take a million children stacked up to reach the top.

Another sight I saw was Plymouth Rock. We saw many things in Plymouth. After that we went to Jamestown and Yorktown in Virginia. There were Native Americans there in a village. They made stuff like leather and knives. The leather was for their houses and the knives were for carving. Their houses were made out of sticks and palm fronds. Some houses were sleeping houses and some were meeting rooms.

These are my top favorite places I've been to so far on this RV trip. I've had sooooo much fun traveling in the RV. I wonder what exciting place we're going to next?

Where I've Been So Far (by Gabriel)

I am going to tell you about some of the fun, exciting and cool sights I've seen and places I've been on our RV adventure. There is no way I could tell you evertything, so I will just share some of my favorites. Are you ready?

My first favorite place is Searsport Shores campground in Maine. We had an awesome view of a rocky beach with thousands of tidepools. We found squid, crabs, hermit crabs, starfish, eels, shrimp, baby lobsters, sea urchins, sand dollars and fish. The campground also had a huge lobster bake on the beach with lobsters, mussels, corn on the cob and bread.

My second favorite place was Mystic, Connecticut. It makes my list because the RV campground had a miniature golf course, a bouncing pillow and a great playground. We also spent halloween there.

My third favorite place was Enota in Georgia. We had a spot right on a fish hatchery river. That was nice to play in every day. My brother and I built a dam to make a deep pool for the fish. While we were building it we found a crawfish and a trout.

Now it's time to tell you about my favorite sights. There are so many, but my first is Chinatown in New York City. It was so much fun to walk around and see all the markets and smell all the awesome food! My family and I went to a fantastic restaurant called Dim Sum and I had the best chicken noodle soup ever! The soup had noodles, chicken, water chestnuts, carrots and bok choy.

Another of my favorite sights was Fort Knox is Bucksport, Maine. It had dark tunnels, huge cannons that rotated and high towers. We could see all the way across the harbor from them. The dungeons were kind of scary, but it was fun.

The last sight to tell you about here is The Museum of Natural History in Washington DC. It was so much fun. We saw dinosaur bones, prehistoric fish, cavemen and Ice Age animals. We also explored a coral reef, saw the biggest blue diamond and learned about outer space all in one museum!

I hope you enjoyed reading about myy favorite places and sights. Where will we go next, I wonder?
