My Blog about my Trip and Time to Massachusetts

I never thought I'd say all this to you, but I went to Massachusetts for three days a long time ago! First, Dad took me and Sierra to the General Ford Airport and waited for someone to call to us to head to the gate to our plane. While we were waiting, we saw the screens that showed the flight times and places, and Dad spotted the one that represented ours. When we were told to get on the plane, we did so, and sat in the plane. Someone who worked on the plane was named Katie, and she was very nice to me! Then a few minutes later, the plane was about to take off! Once the plane took off, I looked down from the window and saw that everything outside the plane looked like a miniature set from a VERY HIGH VIEW! I looked down on Lake Michigan, and white dots I saw there turned out to be boats, I was told by Dad. Then almost an hour later, the plane went to a jet way near another airport and landed and stopped at the gate and we exited the plane and we waited there for the next plane. That next plane took us to Massachusetts. While we were waiting at THAT airport, we bought food from the Wendy's area in the airport so we'd have food before going on the plane. When we were called to get on the next plane, there were two rows of seats that stretched from the back of the plane toward the cockpit! Each row had three seats after three seats, so we sat together, and the plane ride took 2 1/2 hours! I wish I saw the inside of the cockpit! I saw everything outside the flying airplane were like a miniature diorama on a table! I wish I had a diorama of the stuff I saw from on the plane! At the end of the ride, the plane landed on the jet way and touched down! We saw our cousins Uncle Thom, Aunt Katherine, Sybille, Alex, and Brom waiting for us to see them! We slept at their house for three nights. During the stay in Massachusetts, one day, Dad was driving somewhere, and by mistake, we ended up in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, but anyway, we thought it was cool and pretty, like an oasis island! One other day, we went to a park in a little city, and it had a playground and an area with water shooting out of the smooth, rocky surface! And during that day we left for New Hampshire, and we swam in the salty, wavy Atlantic Ocean on a beach! Then, on the third day, we all went to a train station and waited for a train to pick us up. It probably took us a half hour for the train to arrive. We walked on the empty train tracks and waited on a bench. Finally, the train came! We rode for a whole hour on that express train, and finally, the final stop was our stop, South Station. A loudspeaker announcer said, "This is the final stop. Thank you for riding!", so we got off, and sure enough, we were in Boston! We explored old places and public urban places in Boston, and we even ate, I think. And we went to a park with such a big fountain! I dipped my feet in, and walked in it, but then I slipped and my pants got all wet! Yuck! Cold! But no need for me to worry, my pants dried in no time! Then when it was time to leave, we went to an underground parking area and, since our cousins lived in Massachusetts, they waved goodbye as we walked past a gate to the parking area. The doors swung up when we payed with the card, and when they did, we waved goodbye back to them, and went to the other side through the exit, waiting for a city bus to come by and take us back to the airport where we were dropped off in Massachusetts three days ago! It drove to us, we got on, and the bus's inside looked COOL because it was a CITY bus! Then it came to the airport, the doors opened, we walked out, and into the airport and waited for our flight to start. The plane took us to Cleveland, Ohio! When we reached Cleveland, we waited for the flight that took us home. We found a payphone, and called Mom, and told her about our trip! She said it was excellent! We talked for a while, and we and Mom hung up, and kept waiting. Finally, our flight was ready! And so the plane took us back home! I saw the sunset out the window, and Mom was waiting out the airport! We went through the gate and hit the exit, and met Mom! It was a fun stay in Massachusetts!
