Pinewood Lodge Campground / Boston (by Caleb)

-
We arrived to Pinewood Lodge late at night so we went to bed quickly.

In the morning we heard a loud noise. It was the sound of rain, and it was really coming down. After it turned to a drizzle, I got my raincoat and went for a walk. After walking for a while, I realized the campground was big. It had the lodge, a lake, pavillions, two playgrounds, a big piece of land for the RVs, and some bathrooms. The campground was nice but you had to pay to take a shower: a quarter for three minutes.

Later we went to Boston. On the way, we stopped at Plymouth Rock and ate Cape Cod chips looking over Cape Cod.

When we got to Boston we stopped in a parking deck then we went out onto a big grassy field. We then waited for something, but I didn't know what. Then we got a surprise. Sophia our cousin was there! Mom and dad arranged for us to be there when Sophia came to visit her aunt in Boston for vacation.


While in Boston we went to a number of fountains. For food, we went to a building with a bunch of restaurants inside and had lunch. Then we had ice cream and we went to an Italian restraunt and got pasta. Then we went to a bakery and got two cupcakes and a cookie.



But in all we mostly did a bunch of walking and less seeing stuff. We did go and see Paul Revere's house and the Boston Tea Party ship. We also went to Swan Pond, where we rode on a swan boat and saw a bunch of ducks and geese and even a few gosslings.


Then we went back to the parking deck and went home.

Later that week we left for a campground in Maine. On the way we stopped at the world's first Dunkin' Donuts and had some donuts as a good snack.

Food

As we traveled the country, we tried to experience local culture. We didn't have much time in each location, so we thought that one of the best ways to do this quickly was to partake of local foods. Therefore, in addition to our National Park theme , we also had a "local food" theme. As we hit each state, we ate a food famous in that state. Just an example; we didn't go off of this map We quickly came to realize that this is a very subjective endeavor. Before we started, I ignorantly assumed that each state would have one or two "famous" foods, making the selection process easy. Not true. First of all, most of what shows up on lists of foods by state is hardly "famous." It's more like "foods you will definitely find in this state and may or may not find elsewhere." Some states have a dozen such foods or more. Many states have the same "famous" foods (there is a lot of crossover with fruit and beef). Second, much of this food...

My Family's House (by Jordan)

-
It all started out with our adoption. We've been waiting for about 3 years to adopt a child. When my dad put the house on Zillow someone's wife wanted to buy it in 10 minutes. But the husband promised his wife a pool. So they didn't buy the house. There were a few others that I can't remember. But finally Melissa and Tim stepped up! They bought the house. We left March fifth. Tim and Melissa have a daughter named Brook. We are on March sixth now and we are enjoying our time at Poinsett State Park!

Lassen Volcanic National Park

We have officially entered the Pacific Ring of Fire. Well, we've technically been in it for the past few months while in California, but none of the parks we've been to have been related... until now. Starting with Lassen, we're about to hit multiple parks built around volcanos. Other than Mt. Saint Helens and that one in Hawaii that never stops, I would have been hard pressed to name another volcano that erupted in this country... ever. But sure enough, Mount Lassen erupted numerous times between 1915 and 1921, doing quite a bit of damage to the surrounding area (there is a section near the mountain called "the devastated area," which is humorous because it's all grown back and looks perfectly normal now). We've had remarkably good weather for our park days, but as you can probably tell from the picture above, that luck ran out at Lassen. I'm guessing a lot of it had to do with us being at elevation, but the entire day was chilly and foggy. If we look...
