Spring Break - April 11




By Kristen

We finally got to swim for the first time. We all got up early to swim. James and I played around for a little while in the pool. Then we sadly had to leave and be on our way home. But first, we had to stop and see my great-grandpa, Elmer Bloomer, who is 93 years old.

When we got to Colonial Harbor Retirement Living, Yorktown, VA, we all headed to lunch, which was a salad, Italian steak, garlic mashed potatoes, and orange cake for dessert. While we waited, we talked about what was new about our lives. It was so much fun to talk with him and to see him so alert. After some time, we walked around to see the place. Then we sadly had to leave so we could get on our way home.

But before our trip could end, we had to visit one more place, Shenandoah National Park. We saw 15 deer and 2 turkeys. Also, one of the deer was a doe with her two yearlings. We drove to tons of overlooks, but didn't get out because it was really cold. After that, we had to endure hours of driving to get home. We got home at 4 AM on Easter.
