I had been looking forward to today because we went to Daniel Boone's Homestead. I did a gigantic ancestor report last year in Mrs. Sontag's class. I am a direct descendant of Daniel Boone. He is my great, great, great, great, great, great, grandfather.
At the Homestead there were two barn cats. We took a guided tour of the house. We saw the spinning wheel room, the dining room. kitchen and bedrooms. We also saw the basement that had a cold spring that always stays 40 degrees year round. It never freezes over. They used it as their refrigerator. It had been there since Daniel Boone lived there when he was a boy. I bought a leather pouch as a souvenir.
After that we went to a fancy McDonald's. It had a big fancy playground we played on. We played there for about an hour. It was in Reading, Pennsylvania. Then we went to Valley Forge. We took a driving tour. We saw where George Washington stayed during the winter. We also saw small log cabins the soldiers stayed in. I got a small stuffed animal owl, I named Fred, as a souvenir.
It was a long day. We were glad to get back to the hotel.
