Nashville,TN

My dad went to Nashville for a conference. Nashville is the capital of Tennessee. It sits on the Cumberland River.

 It was Veteran's Day and there was a parade.

He went to see The Johnny Cash Museum. He had fancy plates.

Part 6. Hike in the Desert

We drove to the desert and saw lots of tall mountains. We saw lots of rocky waterfalls.

We saw some flowers and cacti too. And just so you know I ate cactus tacos in San Diego too! The best part about the hike was when I stopped complaining. The worst part of the hike was when I heard a swarm of bees. It made me nervous. I tried not to be nervous because I know bees would try to kill me because they can smell people's fear.

The hike was on the Pacific Crest Trail. Here are some pictures of the falls.

The Pacific Crest Trail is 2659 miles long. (From Mexico to Canada). We only hiked a couple of miles.






Part 5. La Jolla Beach and the Seals

On Thursday we drove from San Diego to La Jolla, CA. (pronounced La Hoya because it's Spanish). There are a bunch of seals on the beach. One of them hated us. It stood on a rock like it was the king of the world and hissed at me. "You are not the king of this rock, seal." I said. "Geez"


Some seals looked like a rock and they like to sleep in big piles.

They smell real bad because of their you know what. There is also a cave and it was full of water.

Seals have cute whiskers.



I also went exploring in a tidal pool and cut my foot on a barnacle. It didn't hurt until I saw it. I saw a sea anemone. It looks like a flower but really it is an animal. When I touched it, it curled up an hid inside itself.

Part 4. USS Midway Aircraft Carrier

The next day we went to see the USS Midway aircraft carrier. I did not want to go. When I saw it I saw a video game simulator that I did a million times last year at the Kalamazoo Air Zoo with Deacon. And I was sad because my Dad was too stubborn to pay $16 to do the simulator another million times.  I did get to see the airplanes on the boat and never felt the boat floating. It was that big! We got to see the bridge where the captain drives the ship. It was way up high. I got to turn the wheel and sat in the captain's seat (sneakily).
