My Favorite Places

My favorite place to go in my country is a wonderful place called Ono Island. It is located on the Florida-Alabama border. In other words, it is called the Florabama. My uncle owns a beach house there, right on the beach. We go there every summer, with my entire family. Alabama might not seem like the best place to go on a beach trip, but if you went there, you would agree with me. My uncles house includes a dock, and we take out jet-ski with us as well. One time, my cousin Kyle and I ran aground briefly, it was pretty funny, because we got a lot of crab-grass in the motor!
Some of the things we like to do there are go to the beach,(Duh!) swim at the dock, golf, and tube behind the jet ski. We most enjoy to golf. Because there are a series of great golf courses down there. Such as Lost Key, and Cotton Creek. We like to go to the beach a whole lot too. The only problem is we never get lucky. There are jellyfish a lot of the time, because during the time of the year that we visit there, the jellyfish population is throut the roof. But we get in the water anyway, not matter what sorts of pains we will have all over our bodies afterwords! We have had many of brutal nights after a day at the beach, and wake up the next morning covered in red lines all over us, from the stings. That is my favorite place, and I hope to go there for the rest of my life.

Terrorists in America

Here in America we have had several terrorist attacks. Some of the most brutal have occurred in the last couple years. 7 years ago, in New York, we had attacks on the Twin Towers. These were the tallest towers in America, and were the office place of thousands of Americans. Two air planes that were hijacked by Afghanistan hit the towers, killing over 2000 people.On that same day, there were 2 other planes that were hijacked. One hit in a field in Pennsylvania, and the other hit a building known as the Pentagon. There is also a rumor that another plane tried to hit the White House. This rumor may or may not be true.
We are making strides to try and solve these issues. America is tightening up a ton on air port security. We sent troops over to Afghanistan to try and help the issue. They are trying to track down the man who organized this whole disaster. Osama Bin Laden. Many say that he is the most wanted man on the face of the earth right now. I definately agree with them. I honestly have no idea the motives behind the attacks, maybe the amount of money America has? I really dont know. I'll let you answer that one for me.
