First day on the Boat

The boat is cool and it has a spa, a movie theater and two swimming pools. The room has mint chocolates at night and the balcony overlooks the sea. It is so, so beautiful. We are going to be sailing for 12 days. I am looking forward to going to Copenhagen and riding our bikes.

(p.s. We are still having trouble getting pictures on the blog - will try to fix in a few days......)

Visit to Birmingham

We went to Birmingham to visit Grandma’s sister Aunt June. Aunt June knew a lot about WWII and she lived through all the bombing raids. In this picture, I am holding a piece of the incendiary bomb and Matthias is holding shrapnel of a regular bomb. The incendiary bomb would make a fire when it landed then it would blow up. Aunt June found it around her house.

Another cool thing about visiting Birmingham was finding out about when it got bombed and how the sirens sounded. Also, it was fun meeting all our relatives.

Visit to the Chelsea Football Stadium

I like the 5 star dressing room better than the visitors dressing room because it was much bigger and it had a player whose name is Alex! Only one team has beaten Chelsea in the 4 years since they redid the visitors locker room. A weird fact is that if you go on the pitch at Chelsea Stadium you get kicked out of the stadium and all the rest of the stadiums in Europe for the rest of your life. The pitch is another name for field and it is grass not turf. Finally, I thought the stadium looked sort of small.

(pictures are having trouble getting uploaded right now - sorry for that everyone!)

My visit to the Tower of London

This is me with the Ravenmaster at the Tower of London. His name is Ray Stones and he signed my book The Ravenmaster's Secret and gave us two raven feathers. I am going to donate this book to Coleytown Library. The other Ravenmaster helped write the book but he has retired. I asked him why there were only 9 ravens at the Tower but he explained that it was the number picked by King Charles I I so that the kindgom would not crumble to its enemies. There are two baby ravens right now at the Tower. We also saw the crown jewels and they were all amazing. This other picture is of the guards at the Tower who were changing the secret password. We didn't find out what the password was.

My First Day in London

I like London alot because it has all these activities to do. To begin with it has one of the world's largest ferris wheels called the London Eye. Also, it has a bunch of museums and a really interesting past. It reminded me of New York for these reasons:


- pigeons


- lots of people


- lots of cars


- lots of statues


It is different from New York because it has:


- a large ferris wheel


- it has a Queen


- it has a castle


- it has lots of guards


- people speak with a British accent




Today I went on a double decker tour bus to see all of London. My favorite part was seeing Buckingham Palace. Check out some pics from today!

What I look like when I clean up!

Summer Has Kicked Off Right

I had a great time in Ontario visiting my cousins Jake and Julia. Check out the great picture from Great Wolf Lodge!
