Universal Studios Hollywood

Wed 8th July

we have just walked into universal and been given our front of the line passes. we look ahead and see a giant shark hanging. who out of all of you reading this have seen JAWS, thats bruce the shark that destroys everything. Of course you have all seen the simpsons. whats the name of the place homer always goes to ? -here is the answer-

the simpsons 3d ride is a like a roller coaster with a giant 3d screen and is simulated. it has you flying around springfield on loose tracks while sideshow bob tries to kill you.

we saw an animal show and some of the dogs from hotel for dogs were in the show.

we also saw shrek 4D and a waterworld show as well as the jurassic park ride which was like a log flume but massive, and raptors squirted you!

its a great place to visit.

10pm apple shop 5th avenue NYC

We are outside the apple store and walking to central park along the way I notice horse & carriage ride so we ask if we can ride on it then we sit on the man's carriage and of we go, our horses name is Gallagher while sitting in the carriage I look to my left and see a little figure walking along the top of a fence "is that a possum that I see" I think to myself, no it isn't "OMG Look it's a raccoon over there". At about 10pm we go to the M&M'S WORLD IT is HUGE filled with souvenirs and of course M&Ms yum the lights were amazing. we got back at about 2am.

30th June '09

Today we went to the smithsonian museums well two of them out of thirteen we went to the new american indian museum witch was really really really boring so we left early. we walked along until we reached the air & space museum that was boring at first then we saw the simulators oh man josh, kenny and jordan you would love that, if you pay $8 each and you go into one you can do 360s and you will want to kill the person who is driving afterwards, we also went to an art museum witch was really cool and weird, also I tried my first hotdog from a sidewalk shop there are hundreds of them around DC with a clothes one next door, I bet that NY will be ten times better and louder at night when we are in bed at night there is always one or to police cars, one fire truck and 3 ambulance vans it is so annoying speaking of NY we are going there tomorrow ahhhh i'll miss DC quite badly

laters hear from me tomorrow

two days in DC

We have arrived in Washington DC finally! its 3am...
after a nine hour sleep we went shopping.
The taxi driver on the way to this mall got lost so we got the cab cheaper. I got a whole bag full of clothes and a pair of sneakers.
there is an ice cream shop down the road from our hotel it is called Larrys homemade icecream, it is delicious. I reccomend it if you go to DC.
Today we went to Lincoln Memorial, the Museum of Natural History and we saw the Hope Diamond the biggest diamond in the world. This guy cut it to be smaller when it was way bigger, who would do that?
We went on a boring tour that mum and dad liked.
I liked it when we went out to see the whitehouse, that was awesome.
check out our photos here. I got a giant pretzel and saw a squirrel on the whitehouse lawn.
