This week’s blog you have a choice of two topics.
First choice, travel: Write about a place you have visited and let us know how you feel about that particular place. Who did you go with and what made it so special for you. Minimum 4 to 6 sentences.
Second choice, books: Many of you love to read. Write a review of a book you have read recently – within the last year. Give a short synopsis (summary). What did you like about the book, what did you dislike about the book. Who were the main characters? Did you identify with any of the character? If so, why?
One of the most special places in my life is my cottage on my lake. It is where I go on the weekends and bring my friends. When I am there I feel like i am in paradise. It makes me feel calm and relaxes me.
ReplyDeleteI go to Cancun sometimes for Christmas break.Its really nice there and we always get the same hotel when we go.It is called Las Venturas i think.It's always 90+ degrees there and is a beautiful place to go.I always end up getting souvenirs like guitars and sombreros and stuff like that. Its fun to swmim there and i love going there.
ReplyDeleteMy special place is Tennessee I have enjoyed the heat of summer and the cool mornings. I fel at home there. Its very nice and peaceful when my friends go.
ReplyDeletethe most beautiful place i have ever been is virginia beach. the visit was for cheerleading nationals but we also spent some time viewing the city. we had a hotel right on the beach but we went early spring so it was just a little cold. i dont want to mention who i went with but i did have a great time. what makes it so special is that it was my first time traveling back to my home state since i moved when i was a year old
ReplyDeleteThis summer I went to High Peaks Resort in Lake Placid, New York. It’s the coolest place in the world. I feel right at home. They have tons of shops,fancy restaurants, beautiful views of the huge mountains, pools, the lake, and fun activites like kayaking and paddle boating. I went with my mom, my sister and my brother. What made the trip so special was that it took so long to get there, because our flight was delayed a night and we were driving around trying to find it once we got there. It made me appreciate being there a lot more then I would have.

ReplyDeleteEvery other year I go to Florida. I go to a different part every year. We usually stay in a nice condo. Sometimes we'll do day trips. Its a 18 hour car ride, but it's worth it. It's always high 80's when we go. Thats all.
ReplyDeleteOne of the most special places I have ever visited is my Grandfather's house near the Ausable River. My family usually visits there in late Fall, over Thanksgiving break. It is absolutely beautiful, and very tranquil. The thing that makes the place so special is how it lets you forget all of the stress in life and just relax for a few days.
ReplyDeleteI would have to say that the most special place I go is my cottage on Silver Lake in the Irish Hills. I usually go there every weekend with my friends and family. I love taking some of my close friends up, we swim, have bonfires, and just enjoy summer. The memories created there are my favorite part, they'll last a lifetime which makes it worthwhile.
ReplyDeleteI read the book the lord of the rings fellowship of the ring. It was about a group of races joining together to destroy the ring of doom and end the reign of the evil lord sauron. There were 9 persons, 1 dwarf, 1 elf, 4 hobbits, 1 wizard, 1 ranger, and 1 warrior. They had to journey over many perils before the end and eventually destroyed the ring. I did not identify with any characters because it was a fantasy book and I am not a wizard.

ReplyDeleteOne of the most special places I have traveled is the outer banks in South Carolina. I and my family had gone there on vacation about 3 years ago. The Outer bank was special because it was one of the best times my together. We had so much fun we caught crabs and I learned how to skim board it one of the best times I have had.

One of the special places I've been to is Florida. My family has been going there since 1975, the same hotel in Coa-Coa Beach. It's a family tradition. 3 years ago we went to Palm Beach to visit my dads side of the family who I rarley see. We visit with my aunts, uncles, cousins, and my step-grandma who was like my real grandma. 2 years ago we went to Palm Beach again and she was really sick because she had gotten lung cancer, I spent as much time as I could of. She died in November of that year. Every year when we go to Coa-Coa Beach, FL. We still visit my aunts and uncles and cousins and have a fun time. Florida is my second Home.

One of the special places I have ever visited is Destin, Florida. Over summer break my mom side of the family went here. When we arrived after two short plane rides, we all went outside and it was really humid. It was me and my sisters first time on a plane so it was a huge experience. We stayed at a golf resort,and got lost a lot but by the end of the day we all fond our way around town. I loved going to the beach all afternoon and going somewhere new every evening. Destin was a good bonding time my family, which made us all closer.

One of the special places in my life would have to be my grandma’s cottage. I love to go up there with all my friends and hang out. I love to go up and visit her and see the big smile on her face. We try to go up there about once every 2 weeks. I love to go tubing on the back of the Jet Ski. When I go up there it makes me feel free, like I can do anything. I always go up there with my family.
ReplyDeleteTexas, The Lone Star State. Most every summer my family and I go to Paris, Texas. We stay at my Aunt Joie's house. She has a big house with lots of rooms and a long hallway. There is also a swimming pool in the backyard. The swimming pool is always warm and that is where I spend most of my time.
ReplyDeleteNewYork City is a place filled with tons of people, night lights, and the statue of Liberty! NewYork city is the best place for people who like to shop a lot and love to walk around and see artist drawing people. The best time to go walking around in Newyork would be in the night cause that’s when you see all the lights and people just having a blast! It was just so special to go with my family to NewYork city because we just wanted to have a fun time and go visit some family members that we haven’t seen in a while. Seeing the statue of Liberty was so exciting and terrifying at the same time because of how big it was. So Newyork City is the the best place I have ever visited!
ReplyDeleteSometimes i just go to waterparks with my family. We just go and have alot of fun and mess around there. we travel to different states to find different waterparks. I also sometimes bring some of my friends with me. We all have so much fun when we go.
ReplyDeleteI would most likely choose to travel, instead of read a book. One of the special places I have been to in my life would have to be Chillicothe, Ohio. I usually travel there every other weekend during the summer. My cousin recently started going with us, which helps to keep the car ride talkative, and fun. I count this as a special place because it’s a time during the year where my mom’s side of the family can get together and do things that they usually did when they were younger. It’s a time for remembering, and cherishing the little things in life that make us happy. I will probably never forget the times I’ve spent in Chillicothe.
