Today, we got to go to the house of Mark Twain and the house of Harriet Beecher Stowe. Two seperate houses, of course.
We started off with Mark Twain's house. It's a quite an enormous house, and believe it or not he built it even before he published his hits Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. The house has 11,000 square feet, 3 floors and beautifully exquisite decorations. Unfortunately, he lost his fortune and had to move out when he made a bad financial investment. Ah, too bad.
After the Twain house, we decided to go to Taco Bell for my first time! I got a burrito! It was awesome!
The next destination was the Harriet Beecher Stowe house. Stowe's house sits probably no more than 100 feet apart from Twain's, and it's less than half the size. We had a funny and informative tour guide, and we listened while we filled out the scavenger tour sheet that was given to us. It consisted of around a dozen pictures of objects in the house, and Greta and I found all of them. Actually, I found all but one and stole the answer off of Greta's answer sheet. Classic me.... =P
The day was wrapped up with Luna's Pizza at our second night at Sara's house. Greta ended up sleeping over there, to Dad and my delight.

Not that you care...:) but I got food poisoning once at taco bell. I have never forgiven them (it was that bad!). After a day in the hospital, I decided that a taco bell taco will probably be the most expensive thing I'll ever eat.
ReplyDeleteAdded info: I bet $10 Harriett Beecher Stowe never ate a taco.
