Hartford, CT, USA

We left Gabriella's house on the second day to go to Hartford to see Maddie, Jack, and Elizabeth. When we got there, we went sledding outside in the snow. It was really fun. First we had to shovel up show and put into the gaps where there was grass. After that we had hot chocolate. Then we had dinner which was pasta. Next we lit the menorah because they are Jewish. It was Ania's first Channukah. We went to their living room to open presents. I got a one direction book, a knot-a-quilt, and a world atlas. Then we went to bed.

The next day, Maddie, Jack, and Elizabeth had to go to school. So when Maddie woke up, I woke up too and we had breakfast. When they left I went to my dad and Ania's room. When we were all ready to go, we went to two museums. The first one was Harriet Beecher Stowe House, which was my favorite. Harriet Beecher Stowe was someone who did not like slavery and she wrote about it in a bunch of books. We took a tour of the house where she used to live. She died a long time ago.

The second museum, was Samuel Clemens House or better known as Mark Twain's House. His most famous books were, "Tom Sawyer", and "The Adventures of Hucklerberry Finn". The house was very big and fancy. My favorite part was the little indoor garden and his daughters' room.

We then drove back to Gabriella's house.

I hope to see Maddie, Jack, and Elizabeth again soon.
