The State of Things- October 17-24, 2008

So, the country of the United States of America is made of 50 states. It is a really, really big place. I have been to 14 of them now. I went on a trip to New England from October17-24, 2008. We went to 7 states in one week. That is one a day, plus we also went to Canada. This entry serves as highlights from the trip. Details to come soon.

Love you, Baby Addyson

This is French Canada. We went to a town called Sherbrook. They all sounded so different up there.

All of us girls in New Hampshire! We stayed in the white mountains here. They had white on the top! Mama says that is called snow. It snows there in October! See me in my fur lined Elmo hoddie!!

The green mountains were mostly orange, red and yellow. Apparently, that is why we came. To see the rainbow trees- at home our trees are green all year round until they have no leaves at all!

Grammy, Mama and I are in Massachusetts.You can't even see my face because they are hugging me so tightly!

The sign says that Rhode Island is the 'ocean state', but I didn't see any water! We went to a place called Brown University. Mama says there would never be enough money in my 529 to cover one semester! Can you believe it is almost 48,000 a year!

Mama and I in Maine!! I know we are on the wrong side of the sign, but we are actually in Maine as we crossed the bridge from New Hampshire into Maine about a mile before this sign!

Here we are in Ohio! The Cleveland airport specifically. Dad says it counts as I saw the city from above and even one of the Great Lakes!! Lake Erie!! It looked like the ocean.
