    Day 12

    From Crescent City to Portland, Oregon

    May 9 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    Today we drove again. Today was a really big driving day. We had Taco Bell for the first time. I had a grilled cheese burrito, Mama had a chicken quesadilla, and Papa had a spicy burrito. Papa and I also shared a dragon fruit slushy. We all had a nacho flavoured fries. When we left Taco Bell, we got onto the highway. On the highway we saw snowcapped volcanos. At around 8pm we got to Portland. We tried to get sit down dinner but everything was closed, so we had chicken nuggets from MacDonalds.
    When we got back to the hotel, I posted a letter to Bungendore High School using the hotel's fancy letter chute.

    Portland, Oregon

    May 10 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    Today we explored Portland. We tried to get tickets to the tram but it would not take our credit card. So we went to the tourist help place and a nice man called Dez came and helped us. He took us to a other ticket machine which worked. We then had brunch at a place called Cheryl's went to a bookshop called Powell's City of Books, which is the biggest bookshop in the world. It sells new and used books. We bought 2 books. We then got on the tram, to take us to an 'Aerial Tram' . It took us up over the city and to a hospital. We got food at the hospital then went back. We then went to a rose garden but the roses were not out. We got back on the tram and went to a place called Mucca which sold pizza. After dinner I had a gelato, which was really nice. We then went back to the hotel and went to sleep.
    see you next time

    Portland, Oregon to Seattle, Washington

    May 11 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    Today while we were driving along the highway we saw lots of volcanos. They were all snow capped. When we got to Seattle we had to say goodbye to our rental car. We took a uber from the rental place at the airport which was called SEA-TAC, which stands for Seattle Tacoma, to our hotel, The Maxwell which is pineapple themed. They had pineapple water bottles, cookies, dogs, and toilet paper! I then started watching The 3 Stooges, in which the Stooges were being Indians and a hunter married one of them, and The Unexplained Files, which was all about weird stuff like aliens, other earths and killer space-suits.Read more

    The Baseball Experience

    May 12 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

    Today we went to a baseball game, The Seattle Mariners VS The Oakland Athletics. On the way there we met a lady called Marianne who told us about the team so we chose to go for the Mariners. At the gates I asked a man where he got something and then the kind man gave me the inflatable trident, the team logo and I bought a giant foam finger. At around the third inning we had some photos with the team mascot, The Mariners Moose. There were lots of home runs and outs, and there were lots of breaks with funny things in them like Go Fish, which was a race between people in fish costumes, and a boat race. Towards the end it got really tense, but the final score was 8-4 to Seattle. We had won! We were leaving when I started talking to a guard. I told him that it was my first game ever, he asked if we got a certificate. He showed us that we could get a certificate saying it was my first game. We got it printed and another guard gave me some baseball cards. After that we went onto the tram that took us back to the Maxwell. I really liked my first baseball game and am really looking forward to Wednesday when we get to go to a other game.

    See you soon

    Day 16

    Pike pier market

    May 13 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    Today we went to the Pike Pier Market. We had a slow start but we ended up having a good day. First we had to go on a little walk to get to a monorail, at a park. The park had a Labyrinth which I did, and some climbing stuff, and a big slide. When we got onto the monorail we found out that it went really fast. We then had to walk to the market. Along the way we found a shop that was purple themed, which was called The Purple Store. After we looked in there, we went to a fish and chip shop. It had the best tomato sauce I've ever had. It had roasted onions in it. We then walked along the market. After we walked the market, we went to a Target shop. It had one of the coolest things ever, an escalator for shopping trollies! You had to push it through a gate and then a ski lift took it up! After target, we went back to the market and bought some giant prawns. On the way there we saw some people throwing a fish around. We tried to have another look around the market, but everything was basically closed. So we headed back to the hotel. We had to wait forty five minutes in the cold for a bus!

    Adios

    Day 17

    Space needle and Bainbridge island

    May 14 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    Today we went to the Space Needle. It was really clear so you could see a long way. We got tickets and went up the lift which took 43 seconds. When we got to the top we had an amazing view. On the way around the building there is a lot of information about how and when it was built. We found out that it was built for the Seattle World's Fair of 1962. It took 400 days to construct. It was completed in December 1961, and opened in April 1962. By July 1962 they had already welcomed their one millionth visitor!!
    There were sloped benches that you could stand on and lean back. But don't worry, they were in front of very thick glass. We went down some stairs and into a revolving room. It had a glass bottom, and slowly spun. I tried to do a really cool hyperlapse video but it didn't really turn out like what I wanted. There were several places around the observation desk to have free souvenir photos taken.
    After lunch we caught a ferry to Bainbridge island. The ferry was huge and was 3 stories tall with cars underneath. We sat at the very front where there were lots of seats inside behind glass so you still had a good view. I sat in the very front row. Mama and Papa were standing out on the front of the ferry taking photos awesome view of Seattle. The crossing took around 45mins. On the island we walked up the main road. It had lots of little shops. We discovered that Bainbridge Island is the birthplace of Pickleball. Pickleball is game like tennis and squash. We had some Teriyaki chicken for an early dinner and then caught the ferry back to Seattle and headed back to The Maxwell.

    Au revue everyone

    Baseball game 2. Mariners VS Kansas City

    May 15 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    Baseball time again! Today our home team played the Kansas City Royals. We saw lots of good plays, and a home run. We also saw a lot of sneaking. We thought that we had lost because we made a silly mistake. After a really tight and nerve-racking game, we won by two runs! The final score was 4-2 to us. When we got back to the Maxwell, we had to start packing because we leave the US tomorrow, taking a train to Vancouver, Canada.
    See you then

    Seattle, USA to Vancouver, Canada

    May 16 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    Today was a disappointment. We were supposed to go on "one of the best train rides in the world." I did not really notice because I was on my Nintendo Switch playing Pokémon Violet. On the way though we saw a seal, and our first bald eagle!! But what I heard from Mama and Papa, let's just say they were not singing praises of the train ride. Now we are in Vancouver, Canada. There was an important ice hockey game in town, bringing in lots of crazy fans. It was a NHL play-off game between the Vancouver Canucks and the Edmonton Oilers. Vancouver Canucks won!

    Au revoir

    Richmond, British Columbia, Canada

    May 18 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    Today we moved to our apartment in Richmond, which is a suburb of Vancouver in the province of British Columbia in Canada. We are well positioned because we are next to a big shopping mall. We went shopping and had our hair cut. We went to Walmart because I had a sofa bed that was really uncomfortable, so we had to get a mattress topper.
    Bonsoir

    Day 21

    Vancouver

    May 18 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

    Today we went to go see Mama's cousin Thomas. He is also my second cousin. We rode on the metro which was called Transit. It was like a Roller-coaster. It went really fast and went above, and below ground. When we met up with Thomas at the Water Front Station, we went to a cafe. On the way we saw a steam clock. It had the wrong time, but every hour it went PARP PARP PARP PARP. I had a lasagna and a milkshake at the spaghetti factory. On the way back I had a donut. It was called the Go Canucks donut. We did this cool VR thing that was called Fly Over Canada. We did it twice. The first one was with Thomas, but we flew over Iceland! For the VR you sat in a chair that moves around like a plane, and the screen in front of us showed a movie. We then had to say goodbye to Thomas Thistlethwaite. He had to go home to watch the Canucks hockey game with friends. We thought it would be nice to see him again on Wednesday. When he left, we did the VR thing again, and this time we flew over the Canadian Rockies.Read more
