Well, my trip got off to a great start. First I started in Chicago. Then I went to St.Louis and boy, I had fun there. I also went to the Gateway Arch. Did you know the Gateway Arch symbolizes westwerd expansion? While I was in Missouri I decided I should also see the Mississippi River. Man, it was dirty! I can't believe people would ruin such a big fresh water source. I can only hope that not all of the river is like that. What a waste!
After that I headed to the Crazy Horse Memorial in South Dakota. I saw one of the biggest mountain carvings in the world there. It was of a great Native American. Then I went to the museum. It had many Native American artifacts and artwork. I had learned that they set up the memorial to keep Native American culture alive.
Then after that I decided to go to the Dunes of Duluth in Minnesota. The reason I went there was because it was a big tourist attraction because of its activities and its beach.And tourists = MONEY$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
After that I went to the Ozarks. I loved it! I went there to learn why it was important in the Midwest. I learned that it was a big tourist attraction and as I said before tourists = MONEY$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. while I was there I went kayaking and did many other activities.
Well thats the end of my second Midwest journal so BYE!
PS: I hope everyones trip is so far great.

The Begining of my Road Trip
I already know a lot about the Midwest( because I live there ),but I would certainly like to learn more. One of the things I would like to learn is more about its history. Did countries fight over who gets to have the land that now is the Midwest?
The region I will most like to learn about will be the Northeast because I find it the most interesting. I especially find Boston, New York City, and Philadelphia. I find them most interesting because they are very historic and many interesting things have happened in those cities. I have been to New York City and Boston but I have not ever been to Philadelphia so I have MANY questions about Philadelphia like has it ever been used as a battleground in a war?
And the West, I have LOTS of questions about it. This is because I have only been there once and that was for two days so I do not know a whole lot about the West. I would especially like to learn a lot about the gold rush. How did people find out about the gold and how did people get to the gold?
And all those other regions, I do not not really care about them because they are not as interesting. I still do have SOME questions about them but not nearly as much as the West and the Northeast.
Well, this is the end of my first journal so to end it off I will say one thing. I hope I have a great time on this road trip!
