Dear Reader

    Well I made it to California in one piece. The Seattle airport was not the most exciting place to spend 3 hours. They had many shops and places to eat but the shops were much to expensive to shop at and I just did not feel hungry. I could not bring myself to spend eight and a half dollars for a small box of tea or twelve dollars for a jar of raw honey, so I decided to forego the shopping and looked around for my gate.

    I had to follow many signs down a long corridor to a flight of stairs that I had to desend and came to an underground train that traveled very fast and was not easy to stand up since all six seats were taken. When I got off the train I had another flight of stairs to climb. I found my gate, but still had almost two hours before departure so I sat and read for a while until I started to feel a bit hungry.

   All resturants on this floor were packed and I only had half an hour to eat so I did quick and easy and decided to eat "Buger King" (which, in my family we call this revolting place "Booger King"). I got my food rather quickly and I sat down to eat. In the middle of my meal the intercom boomed out " San Jose will be boarding early in ten minutes." S I threw away the rest of my meal went to the bathroom and by the time I was down trying to find my gate again it was time to board.

   I boarded the plane just to find that half of creation was also flying to San Jose, most were head down to San Diego for vacation and had to board a connecting flight in San Jose. I sat next to a family that was headed to San Diego and their children had never been on a plane before so they all wanted to look out the window (I had the window seat, of course). I really just wanted to close the blind on the window and fall asleep but I did not want to be rude so I left it open and endured the headache from these three children that argued over video games and books for an hour and a half.

   Finally the plane landed and I met up with my Grandmother. We went and did the shopping for the week and around six we made to their house. We ate dinner and Morgan begged me to watch "Ghost Busters" with him. I Finally gave in an we watched almost all of it when Morgan fell asleep. I carried him to bed and stayed up to watch the rest since I was waiting for my other nephew, Theron, to come back from his Father's. I was so tired that I fell asleep before the movie was over just for my Garndmother to wake me up to help her tuck in Theron who had just arrived.

   Finally I got to sleep.

   In the words of Herman Melville, "A man thinks by mouthing hard words he understands hard things."

Sincerely,
