Hello Dear Readers!
So Happy 4th for my American Readers and if you are not American, happy Friday! So if you can't tell by the name, I LOVE my country and have a huge sense of pride in it! So here are pictues of me and my family going to some of the greatest places in this country
 |
| When I was 12, my family and I went on a HUGE trip out west, we went to Arches National Park |
 |
| Zion National Park |
 |
| The Grand Canyon! |
 |
| Bryce Canyon (Not pictured, Mesa Verde) |
 |
| When I was 13, we went to Jamestown! |
 |
| Yorktown! |
 |
| And Williamsburg! |
 |
| I tried colonial hot cocoa, it was just melted semisweet chocolate, gross! |
 |
| Goofing off at Jamestown Fort |
 |
| When I was 14, we went Northwest! To Yellowstone! |
 |
| And got soaked by a geyser that only went off every couple of years, later in the trip we got recognized as "that family that smelled like Sulfur!" |
 |
| Grand Tetons! |
 |
| Absolutely gorgeous |
 |
| Even right in my backyard! I grew up going to Gettysburg! |
 |
| Valley Forge! |
 |
| If you don't know, Valley Forge is where the revolutionary American soldiers lived before crossing the Delaware |
 |
| At age 16 my family and I went to Antietam, the bloodiest battle of the Civil War took place there, thousands died in one day! |
 |
| Harper's Ferry (Took this picture in John Brown's wax museum, which was very shady) |
 |
| The White house with (L-R) My dad, my older brother (Tommy), my brother in law (Brandon), my older sister (Amanda), my mom and me (Not pictured) my Aunt Marcie and Uncle Gary. |
 |
| In October, I spoke at the FDA in Silver Springs Maryland |
 |
| These are in the harbor in Baltimore |
 |
| And on Wednesday, I went to Fort McHenry. |
 |
| I guess these ladies were volunteers, I would not want to be them! (ironically, this is my dream job..) |
 |
| Inside a prisoner cell |
 |
| From the Fort Wall |
 |
| Francis Scott Key Bridge! Crosses right over where he was when he started writing our national anthem |
 |
| Original poetry by Francis Scott Key |
 |
| What the telescope he looked through looked like |
 |
| His desk supplies |
 |
| Portable desk |
 |
| Here I am at the fort (Sideways) |
 |
| Right after this was taken, a cannon went off and I literally jumped into my mom's arms |
 |
Merchant Marines ship!!
I have seen a lot of this country, 43 of the states actually! I'm proud to be an American and be free
