Today we went on the best trip ever. First, we went by the American Girl store and it’s almost done. We think the upstairs is all done. Then, we went on a Metro ride. We started at Union Station then got off the Gold Line on Del Mar and went past the Apple Store and went to Johnny Rockets for lunch. We saw a theatre and Nanny McPhee and the Pink Panther were playing. The real goal was to go to the American Girl store and to a Metro ride but we ended up going all over town. We went to a Mexico place where things were on sale and to a China place that also had things on sale.

When we got to Union Station we were just looking around.

Once we were coming back from a little walk, Dante started running down this path to go to our next Metro stop. Swooooosh!

At the end, Dante got yawning tired.

Meet Samantha
Samantha is my favorite American Girl. She has a friend named Nellie. Nellie is a maid. She has two little sisters Jenny and Bridget. Her mom died and then her dad died. Samantha’s parents both died at the same time in an accident at the river.

There are other American Girls. I’m starting to read Kit and Josephina. I’ve also read a little about Addy. Samantha is my favorite still. Maybe because I started reading her books first. Samantha is just so my favorite.

I got a new computer. The one that they’re selling at the Apple store for kids. It’s so cool because it comes with a mouse and the mouse has a dot that you can scroll up and down and when you click it, it is a shortcut to your widgets.

My computer is also cool because you can take pictures of yourself and you have a camera right on your computer.

Now I can play Lego Star Wars. Star Wars is my favorite movie and now I get to play my favorite movie game almost all the time.

And with the remote control, when you hold pause it can turn your computer on and off.
