Family Trip to Canada

Aug 27
{Bangor, Maine}
Oh Boy!
We are now in our new, gorgeus car!
Its a Buick 'Le Sabre', (that's the model name)
I did have a headache before, but now its gone.
The first thing Dad said when we got in the car is
"What do you want to do now?"
"Eat" I said
"Go sightseeing" said Ellie
"Go to Canada" said Robert
We decided on eating.
Then Dad said, "What do you wanna eat?"
"Anything" said Ellie
"Like What" said Dad
"Anything that won't bite back" I said
"Well, I don't know what will happen here, then!" said Mom
(Maine is famous for lobsters)
We all laughed except Robert, who just fell asleep.
Well, Talk to you later! Bye!

{still Bangor, Maine}
My parents are so great.
We were driving along the hiway and then we saw this mini-amusement park.
(It's called....Oh, I can't remember)
And I asked if we could stop, but I never expected for Mom and dad to say yes.
But dad pulled into the driveway!
I said "Is this a joke?"
he said "We're on vacation aren't we?"
We went in, looked around, and decided there was one ride we really wanted to go on, and that was the go-carts.
We went on them, and they are scary!
You go really fast.
We are now going to an oceanarium.
Tell you about it later!
Bye.
