San Diego Attractions.

The first Attraction I would like to bring up is Whale Watching. Its a fun family thing to do. Going on this adventure is allowing you to get up close and personal to the Whales. Seeing nature first hand. Its a great thing for the family.

The next one is the San Diego Zoo. This Zoo is A one-of-a-kind. They will let you go backstage and see what they do to keep the animals nice and well taken care of. They have a sleepover so you can really get up close with the animals, although this kind of reward comes with a fea of $119–$149 per person.

The next on the agenda is The Sea World. At this particular place, they have so many exhibits from sharks to flamingos. Its a place to explore. Even see the famous Shamo. Its a all day trip but worth all of it.

At the San Diego Wild Animal Park, guests can view more than 3,200 animals on a guided tour, from The Heart of African Safari, or the Mombasa Lagoon its a fun family place.

Last but not least, if you are just traveling to keep a calm beat try Old Town San Diego State Historic Park. It has been there for over 30 years. It is good for seeing nature. Its the best for just looking around.

Creative Writing 8.

It was the start of summer 2010. Penn had dreaded going to summer camp. It wasn't the people so much as it was the ooie gooie-love-birds that made her just hate summer. You know those people who have one of those love-you-'till-i-leave kind of way, then when summer is over they get totally sad and go on with life.

Penn never really cared for people like that, she was a person whom all the "preps" hated. Summer camp was just a way to detain her to a area where she could see how messed up her life was. She was short but not a dwarf, she had long black hair that looked beautiful all on its own. Boys usually fell for her, but then realized that Penn was different, she could see things, they drove her crazy and knowing they were there she had to react.

All these thoughts and more rushed around in my head. Is that what I will be known for? Yuck. Her small station wagon pulled into a parking lot where all the other kids were showing up. She shoved her last pack of brand-new gum into her pocket and popped the trunk. She got her bag and slammed the door to the trunk. Her usual cabin was empty like every summer. she sat the bag on her bed that had her name engraved in it from three summers ago.

They were having a meeting in the main hall. It was just the usual one to tell you to give them your phone and to go over all the rules. It was something she could skip. She put on her black swim suit on and got her towel and went to the dock. She sat on the dock with her feet in the water, it was probably the best time she would have this whole summer.

She missed Bricen, her guy friend, he was the sweetest thing ever. He looked like your average skater, long blond-brown hair. The dock shook a little and Penn could hear foot steps. She figured it was just some know-it-all instructor. "Pennyweather!" Bricen called out. "BRICEN! what are you doing here?" "I wanted to go to summer camp, hey there are no other rooms so looks like I am bunking with you." he grinned.

It was about to turn dark so they lit a fire on the bank. Almost no one was there accept a few girls drooling over Bricen, and the few boys drooling over Penn. "So are you two summer lovers?" a girl finally blurted out "n-" before Penn had time to say no Bricen interupted "oh yeah! She's my crush." Penn blushed and before she had time to move, Bricen gave her the Summer Lovers kiss. "So summer crushes really cant be that bad." She pulled the pack of gum out of her pocket and slipped a piece in her mouth and gave Bricen another kiss.

Creative Writing 7.

there was a someone,
no one knew this man.
he always sat alone,
and stare as the animals ran.
the children were afraid too talk to him,
for he was the silent type.
with his jumbo hat,
and smoking pipe.

Everything around him was a bloom,
it was better than locked inside a room.
he saw many people pass,
and the people tending to the grass.
only morning in this park,
he would stay 'till dark.
it smelt of a sweet summer day,
the kind for a lay.

in his stare,
with his long facial hair.
alone,
no one to share his pity.
