Scotland

Hello Class,

Cici and I just got back from Scotland. It is a wonderful place and we had a great time traveling around Edinburgh. We went to a lot of different places. Edinburgh castle was Cici's favorite and Ms. Usrey like Greyfriars bobby. Before we left for Scotland we had a night to celebrate a famous poet and we both tried Haggis. It is yummy and made from some interesting things :) We then left on a tour bus to go to Scotland. It was a 7 hour trip but worth every single minute on the bus. We then got to Edinburgh and toured the city as the sun was setting it was really pretty. The next day is when we did all of our sightseeing. The castle was up first. We then went to a cathedral, a museum, greyfriars bobby, the North Sea, and Scott Monument. Enjoy looking at the pictures

Welcome to Scotland

Edinburgh Castle

St. Giles Cathedral

this is Greyfriars Bobby. This statue is tells the story of a dog who was very loyal to his owner. Legend says that when this dogs owner died, the dog stood guard over his owners grave every day and night until the dog passed away as well. A monument had been constructed to honor this very special dog. It was Ms. Usrey's favorite spot.

North Sea

Scott Monument

York and it's Just and Adventure

Hello,

It's been another weekend, so more traveling for Cici and Ms. Usrey, this weekend we went to York. York is a wonderful town that has a lot of history. My friend Ms. Hays and I were the only ones who went to York in our group. We did a lot of deciding where to go was just a spur of the moment decision. The fist place that we stopped was Clifford Tower. It was really cool to see so much history in one place. The tower was built by Normans. We then just walked around York to Betty's Tea Cafe. It is the place to have English Tea. It was amazing. Cici love the tea. We then walked around to the Shambles which is just a bunch of small shops. We then went to the Minster. We climbed 275 stairs to get to the top. It was a lot of stairs, but the view was amazing. we then just walked around the Minster. We had some time left so we went to a Viking Museum. Cici had her picture taken with a Viking. Overall we had a wonderful day.

London!

Hello Mrs. Usrey's Class,

I just got back from London and I had a wonderful time visiting the City. I hope that you enjoy the pictures that Ms. Usrey took of me sightseeing. I also met some traveling buddies. They are traveling with Ms. Usrey's friends. I think that we are going to get along really well. They are a sock monkey and a Hello Kitty, we all three took a picture in front of the British Museum. I really loved looking at all the artifacts that where in the Museum. I got to see the Olympic medals. That was really awesome.
