famous tour
We are going to a historical place.We are going to the Gold Rush.It is one of our historical stops.We have some info to tell you about this place.
Weird ways west
An California-bound airline in 1849!? Don't laugh; it almost happened. Rufus Porter, founder of Scientific American, planned to fly 49ers west on propeller-driven balloons powered by steam engines. He went to far as to advertise the expedition, and 200 brave souls signed up for the trip. But the "airline" never got off the ground.
Then there was the "wind wagon," sort of a cross between a sailboat and a wagon. It seemed like a good idea on paper; after all, it can be very windy in the West. A prototype was built and for a brief moment it barreled across the plains at the advertised 15 miles-per-hour. Then it went out of control and crashed. The inventor--Wind-wagon Thomas--kept trying for years, but never succeeded.
Others took a more low-tech approach, making the trip with only a simple wheelbarrow. It's hard to imagine pushing a fully-loaded wheelbarrow for 2,000 miles, but several dozen attempted the trip. For a time, they could outpace everything on the Trail, but human endurance has its limits. No one is quite sure if any of them made it all the way with their wheelbarrows.
Why all the weird contraptions? Everyone was in a big hurry to get west--to strike it rich.
Well we are also going to the Oregon Trail.Here are these facts.
The first emigrants to Oregon came by ship before the Trail was established. Ships continued to to travel to Oregon even after the overland migrations began, but they were not popular among the pioneers. First, the fare for a sea journey to Oregon was quite expensive--few pioneer families could afford it. Second, most Oregon-bound pioneers came from the central states--far from any sea port. Lastly, the sea journey often took up to full year--versus 4-6 months by wagon.
The Oregon Trail (more correctly, the Oregon-California Trail) generally follows the Platte River to its headwaters; and then crosses the mountains. In southern Idaho, the California Trail splits off (until this point, the Oregon Trail and the California Trail are one in the same). The Oregon Trail then follows the Snake River until it reached the Columbia--which flows into the Pacific. For a detailed look at the route, visit Historic Sites Along the Trail.
Well this is are last blog for the our city .
We are going to the math.We are each gong to use $80.Hen we are going to the Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles.It cost $594 for each of us.We multiply it by 4 we get $2372.
Math Time
$80 times 4 since that is how many people we have =320. We multiply $594 by 4=$2379.We add it together it = $2692.

world of history

Day:5/28/09-6/5/09
TIME:6:30-6:40
CITY:Helena
STATE:Montana
Well hello this is Ye-ye I am just going to write the first paragraph,and I will find some one to write the rest of the things.Well we called the title World of History because we saw a lot of thing that happened in this fantastic place.Who ever will write this will tell you more I hope.O.K I gave you a intro of what we will be doing.
We went to the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail.It is located on a bluff overlooking the Missouri River in Giant Springs. Heritage State Park.The 25,000 square foot building includes 5,500 square feet of permanent exhibit hall ,a 158-seat theater,an education room for hand-on activities,retail store,administrative area, and 1,600 square foot traveling exhibit hall. Hi my name is Diamond and I am going to be talking to you how much the Wingate By Wydham Helena it cost $1,517.It is a joy of having a trip like this.
Remeber the reason we are doing this is to try to help people with there math so hope you've learned. This is what I called learning experince. Helena is the time we all had a rest for a while. So here is the math time. Now read it and find if this confusing and than tou can make a comment.
MATH TIME
Well First the Lewis and Clark National Trail is FREE I know, I evan couldn't believe my own big, green, and clear eyes. The Wingate By
Wydham Helena. You already know how much that cost. This cost $1,517.00 cash, this is not only for the hotel. This is for everything. We all decided to spend $350.00 together so for all that this trip cost or =$1,867.00. Now before we go to the airport. I am going to buy some salad. If you round that it cost $6.00 cash. (Son this really cost $1873.00) P.S. PLEASE DON'T TELL YEYE. Now she might flipped, and I mean flipped. And Jaylavia might sneak some things too.

Mall of America
City:Minneapolis
State:Minnesota
Hello everyone we are at Minneapolis,Minnesota.It is very special because of one big thing I'll tell you later.Probably at the last paragraph.
Well let me tell you were we are going to.Well you can see by our Title it is the famous Mall of America.It is the biggest Mall in America.It has a Zoo,Nickelodeon Universal, Aquariums, Lego, and a lot more.
Well we have just started a new thing.it is called the Wiki. It shows ways that we can talk,but It is like talking on the phone without using a phone and it is by using a computer.
Well a hotel is in the Mall and it is called Mystic Hotel.That is one of the coolest things I have ever heared.We chose to do that so that we won't be using a car.That way we won't have to pay as much as we usually do.So that would help with our our project and you will be surprise to see how much less we spent.Thinking about that I think it is almost time for the math time.
We are going to do our pre-time math time.Well the Mystic Hotel cost a total of $630 and the Big Ticket,which is like a ticket to go to any of the attractions and museums and all those stuff including a coupon book that cost $171 and the flight cost a total of $117,and add $200 for food and add $200 for each of us which is $600 for all.
Math Time:
OK the way we got $630 was by multiplying $210 by three and that is how we got that.The way we got $171 was by multiplying $53 by 3 since there are three people,and we add those two $171 +630=$801.And the way we got $117 was by multiplying $39 by 3=$117.Then we ad 117 +801=$918.Then we already told all of you how we got $600 so we add that $918+600=$1518.Then we add the $200 for food that would give us $1518+200=$1718.O.K
by the time we go to Hawaii we will have a new kind of old member Diamond.O.K. bye for now.
