8280 Yorkshire Dr Chagrin Falls OH, November 13, 2009 Dear Ellye, Hey it’s me. I’m going to ride a horse to travel across America for three months. Then I will leave home and start heading to New York City because when I’m there I’ll be looking around for two days. Then the next place I’ll be going to is Pennsylvania because I can stay there for a couple of days. The other place that I will go to is North Carolina because I can stay at my cousin’s house for three days. Then the next place I’ll be going to is Florida because I can stay with my Grandparents for four days and be hanging out with them. Then the next place I will go to is California because in that place I will be staying with my cousins for three days. Finally the last place I’ll be going to is Michigan because I can stay there for four days. These are the six places that I am going to travel. I think I will have a good time at these places. This is why I’m going on this trip because I want to stay at some hotels at my places. I can go to see new people, some new places on my trip that would be okay to look around. This is what I want to do on my trip. The equipment that I’m taking with me is a canteen with water, a compass, a map to tell where I’m going and even some food. I’m going to be leaving on my trip in about 3 months. I’m having a good time going to my places and staying there because when I am at the place that I’m at is going to be really hard to find away to get to those places. I’m having a fun time but I really miss you and I hope you miss me too. Then I hope you can write back to me and then I will write back to you what I am doing on my trip. Sincerely, Katie Marks

While I was there I saw some restaurants, stores, and even a museum that was called the Ripley Believe or Not. Then they had a theatre that has plays that I can go and see.

Erie, Pennsylvania Erie, Pennsylvania I was drenched by a waterfall as soon as you enter the Big Kahuna. Then it’s an exciting ride of twists and turns that will even take you outside the building! Don’t worry – all rides end inside! I was blasted through the tube at 40 mph until you torpedo into a huge bowl, circle around feet-first three times, then get “funneled” through the Hurricane Hole into over 6ft. of water I was launched into a mammoth bowl of spinning water, where the Cyclone will whirl you around four times before hurling you into a pool!
