A Trip To The Lexington Museum
On a trip to Boston, Massachusetts, my mom, my sister, and I went to the Lexington Museum in Lexington, of course. In the opening room there was a beautiful glass window. In that same big room, there paintings, a big cabinet (I think it was from around the 1800’s), and a collection of clocks, all different kinds of clocks. We went into one big room which was full of pictures, one for each National Park in the U.S.! The pictures were amazing, and they told about each national park, like what state it was in and when it was founded.
After a quick snack, we went into the second section of the museum. The first part was a hallway in which there were big silver coins, one for each state, and each told when the state was admitted in to the Union, and the coins were put in order, from 1st -50th state. Then we went into a room that was all about Freemasonry, which dates back to Egyptian times, and how it ties into the roots of the United States. I also learned that almost all the U.S. presidents were freemasons. The next section was the museum of the founder’s favorite things, which had almost everything you could think of, some things included paintings and American Revolution things. The last section was about the battles of Lexington and Concord and how the American Revolution began.
Before we left, we looked at old antiques, furniture, and a large collection of clocks. It was sort of scary, however because the freemason symbol was on most of the furniture. Even though it wasn’t as good as the Peabody Museum, we learned a few things, and had fun!
A Trip To The Peabody Museum
Last week, my family and I went on a trip to Boston, Massachusetts. We went to Harvard. After finally finding parking and eating lunch, we headed to the Peabody museum. On the outside, it didn’t look very big, but it definitely was inside. On the first floor, there was a section on how kids in […]
A thrilling playoff series for UConn Hockey
This past weekend, my dad and I watched both UConn’s first round playoff games on the computer. The first game was the best and the most exciting game I’ve ever seen. The game didn’t start off promising, because Canisius, UConn’s opponent, scored only four minutes into the game. A Golden Griffin player took the puck […]
The Last Battle – Spoiler ALERT
Recently, I read the last book of the Chronicles of Narnia, The Last Battle and it was by far the best book of the series. The book started when two “friends”, an ape named Shift, and a donkey named Puzzle, saw something floating down the river by the waterfall. Puzzle waded into the river to […]

A Tough Loss at UConn
On Tuesday, February 7, 2012, my Dad and I went to a UConn Hockey game, to see them play the Army Black Knights. UConn got on the board early with a 5-on-3 goal from Miles Winters, his 3rd in as many games, to give UConn a 1-0 lead. The puck was passed to Winters who […]
A Televised game for UConn Hockey!
On January 28th, my Dad, my sister and I watched UConn’s first televised game since 2010. They were playing the Holy Cross Crusaders, and it was their 100th meeting with the team. Half way through the first period UConn got a 1-0 lead on the Power Play. From the faceoff Cole Schneider took the puck […]
A Fun Night At UConn Hockey!
On January 6, 2012, my Dad, his friends Angelo and Mr. Wearne, and my friend Alex and I went to see UConn play Niagara, in the first time ever that they played this team at home. Alex and I sat down by the glass next to the penalty box and they were great seats. UConn […]
A Shutout Win at UConn!
On December 29, 2011, my Mom, Dad, sister, Rachel and I went to see UConn play Army in the first round of the Toyota UConn Hockey Classic. It was my sister’s first game and she was very excited. I was excited also because my Mom hadn’t come in a while. UConn got on the board […]
My First Time Seeing the King’s Singers
On March 17, 2011, St. Patrick’s Day, my family and I went to see The King’s Singers perform at the Jorgenson Theater, on the University of Connecticut. We got to sit in the front row! It was my and my sister’s first time seeing them perform, my mom’s fourth time and my dad’s sixth. In […]
