Steve Jobs' House

We went and saw Steve Jobs' House. We got to see the garage he worked in. We got to see his neighbor hood. It was amazing to see where the famous entrepreneur worked at when he made his first apple product. It looked like a normal house and blended in perfectly. Over all I think it was a great experience even though it was a short experience.

Bucks Wood Side

We went to Buck's Wood Side and learned some things about the place. Many entrepreneurs went there. It had many different scupltures and paintings that were very artistic. The food there was really good. There were a lot of people coming in and out of the place, every time I looked out the window there was someone coming to eat. It took a little wait to get your food, because of all the customers being served, but the service was still great.

Honesty

My mom and I talked about the subject of honesty. We talked about if it's ok to hurt someone's feelings by being honest or lying to avoid hurting their feelings. I thought it was ok to lie if you were doing it to avoid someone from being hurt, but my mom said eventually that the person would find out you were lying. My mom said you would only be buying time for yourself. So I thought about it and I said how would they find out you were lying if it bought you time?

And we came to the conclusion that honesty was the best answer, even though you would hurt someone's feelings.

Hiller Aviation Museum San Carlos, CA

We went to the Aviation museum to learn and see the different planes. We saw the Wright Brothers plane, which looked uncomfortable and hard to steer. Then we went around and looked around at the many different planes, helicopters, and other things that fly. There was a flight simulated we tried it was hard at first but then it got easier. We saw many planes we thought some of them wouldn't fly at all. There was some that could fly but we thought it couldn't. Then we went to see the cockpit of a plane but there was too many people. We saw some jetpacks and a vertical flying model. There was a plane where you had to push yourself off by running.

My First Broadway Show - Rocky

We went to see the broadway production of "Rocky". It was exciting when the fights started. Even when there was no fight it had a good story. There was only two fights in the whole show but when you see the fights they look as if they are actually fighting. It has a lot of drama set up to its story.When fights start it would put you on the edge of your seat waiting to find out the next move. There were many songs that played during the movie. It was very thrilling and unpredictable of what would happen next.

The Lick Observatory @San Jose CA

When we were coming up the mountain to the Lick Observatory I got dizzy and sick, I almost threw up.  

Once we got to the top I was happy to be out of the car. I learned that James Lick the man who had the observatory named from is buried  under the telescope. It was a 36-inch refracting telescope, and was the worlds largest at the time they made it. The way they got it up the mountain was with the use of horses

and mules carrying wagons. I had hot chocolate to help me not throw up and we looked around. We could see many people biking or driving up the mountain. In the museum we could see some of the pictures the telescope took.

Empire State Building

We took an audio tour and learned about the different sights we could see at the top of the Empire State Building, there was a lot of sights. The line to go to the top was really long it took us 30 minutes to an hour just to get to the top. Once we gone to the top we took some pictures. It was really cool to see all the buildings. At the top it was crowded with people but we stil made the most of our trip. We got to take many photos from the top with some of the buildings. We got to see many things at the top and going to the top. When I first got to the top I was a bit nervous since I'm afraid of heights but I was able to last. Then we went back down and went back to the hotel we were staying in. It was so fun I would comeback again.
