Today we also got into the park an hour early but it was a Saturday so of course it was crazy busy (about double the people). So we left when everybody else started coming. Then we went to Lansing (#12). My aunt Teri is the secretary of state of michigan, but she was in her grand rapids office that day. We continued to Grand Rapids where my aunt teri and uncle dan live so we stayed with them that night.

Day 14-22

For the past week or so we stayed at my aunt,uncle,and cousins house so i decided to put it into one post.

The first full day we were there we went to the play out in the country under a tent "A Midsummers Night" by Shakespeare a comedy it was hilarious i give it *****. The dunkin' donuts guy from the commercials "time to make the donuts" was one of the actors and was really funny. .

Of course, we visited Nashville (#8), the capitol of Tennessee.

The next day we went to the Loveless Cafe, a restaurant in our Goodfoods book and we Had to wait for an hour but it was worth it for their barbecue. Then we went to a replica of The Parthenon in Greece but this one was in Tennessee. then to end the day we went on a ghost tour where there was this crazy looking lady telling us very believable ghost storys *scary.

first we went to Merilees a breakfast place in our good roadfoods book we've been doing good on those.We also went to the carter house where the battle of Franklin took place it was very authentic.

And then of course Franklin has a big fourth of July celebration with booths and music. And my dad and uncle bought lots of fireworks and my dad went all out and bought the "whole nine yards" but we also went to fireworks at franklin high school it took us about 45 min. to get out of the parking lot afterwards but me,chrissy, and liz made some funny videos and got some good pics.
