Last week my family went on vacation. We went to Alderbrook Resort and Spa. It was a long drive but worth it. Here is were we went.

When we finally got there me and my brother looked at the huge building while my parents took out the bags and then we went in the building . It was a beautiful setting.

When my parents got our card for the room we went to the elevator. We went to floor 4 and we ran to our room. Soon we found out the there was only one bed??? And then my parents told me that I get to sleep on the window view sofa with a gorgeous view and my brother gets to sleep on the couch. There was plenty of room for all of us.  I loved my view and my brother loved his very bouncy and cozy bed.  We unpacked.  

When we got back my parents made dinner, and I set my parents alarm clock to 6:00 AM and then we had dinner and went to sleep.

The following day we had breakfast and got dressed and then we went for a walk on the pier and then to the swimming pool. We played in the swimming pool and my dad snuck up on me and my brother by swimming under us and popping up.  When we got back to our room, while my parents made lunch, I was looking out my window and saw a seal. (We were lucky to see seals a few times). After lunch we had a rest in the room and went back to the swimming pool. My brother tried to swim without his life jacket. Then we went to our room to eat diner and then we went to sleep.

After we went to the pool we continued the geocache. We got to see the mountains and we learned that one of their names is Mount Washington. After a lot of time we finally found the box. It was full of bands. We also went on a kayaking adventure. After our second swim we got ready to go roast marshmallows. (I accidentally put one on fire.) Then we had a bath a went to sleep.

I had a great time at this beautiful location. We had lots of good family time in nature. I hope you liked hearing about my vacation.  If you liked my vacation here is the link to the website.

Every Friday we pretend to fly to different places to learn about it and experience the culture. We call it "Fly Away Friday". We started doing this at the beginning of the quarantine and have learnt about so many places. This week we traveled to London. Scroll down to find out how you can experience London right from home.  

We started our journey by pretending to fly on a plane to London. We looked at a map to understand where we were going.

After "checking in" to our hotel, (our bedroom), we took a "tour" of London. We did this by watching a video by Kids National Geographic. The video was about kids pretending to be detectives and they had to find buildings in London using clues. We learnt about Big Ben and the London Eye.

We then drew pictures of London double decker buses. We learnt how to draw them using this video. ​

We love that buses in London are red. 

We ended off the afternoon by making and enjoying an afternoon tea party. We decorated the table with flowers and butterflies. We made delicious food. We got dressed up in fancy clothes and listened to classical music from London. My mom told us about the royal family and manners you have to have when meeting the Queen. 

Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoy your visit to London.
