The Jersy Side!

Two days ago I went to the Hudson River with my family and saw New Jersy!  It was a bright sunny Friday morning and we scooterd down to the river.  We also walked up on to the dock and saw the river some boats and the edge of New Jersy!  I saw that the dock was closed up on the edge!  How could boats land!  One day I hpoe i'm going to find out!

P.S. My mom wouldn't let me write yesterday because it was time for bed :-(

The MoMA

Today I went to the MoMA with my family and I saw so much cool amasing art.  I saw, Van Gough's Starry Night

Claude Monet's Water Lillies

Pablo Picasso's people (that I though were sort-a wierd), etc. etc.  We also saw some art that we thought was really, really, really cool.  One piece of art looked like a crumpled pice of paper but it was really made out of metal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Can you belive it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

We also saw a couch made out of thin paper that we even sat on!!!!!!!!!!  We also saw some art that we didn't really call art and we didn't think it should have been in the museium.

P.S. I'm so sorry I didn't post anything yesterday because by the time I got back from the MoMA it was to late and I needed to go to bed :(

Good to see you Again New York City!

Today I have to wake up early because our trip to Cape Cod is now sadly over.  Yesterday was our last day here at Cape Cod and today were suprisingly going back to New York!  Same apartment same everything! We packed up quickly and drove off to catch the train that would take us from Providence RH New York City!  WOOOOOOOHOOOOOO!

Summer Fun in Cape Cod

I just left New York City with my family 4 days ago and we took a train to Providence, RI.  While we were on the train we visited the snack car and saw the conductor and train crew.  Finely after a 2 and a half hour ride the train stopped at Providence, RI.  We got off at the station and from there rented  a car and drove the rest of the way to Cape Cod MA.  When we arrived in Cape Cod our grandparents from Washington D.C. and our cousins from Italy were waiting there for us at the house!  Then we found out that we were going to live together!  We had so much fun together!  One day we went to go see a concert, another we went shopping for groceries and made a special dessert, the next day we went to a show, then the following morning we went souveneir shopping and had Fudge!  Today is my last day here in Cape Cod and I hope to enjoy it!

Big City!

10 days ago I went with my family to New York City [the largest most biggest most delightful city] in The United States of America![for 4 days!]  I stayed in an apartment on  Broadway, and our room was on the 18th floor and we had a great view of Central Park on one side and another great view of the city on the other.  The city looked so big!  Last time we came for a month and got to see The Statue of Liberty,The Empire State Building, and a lot of other historical monuments!  But all we did this trip was go to central park every day except for the 3rd day.  On the 3rd day I went with my mom, 2 brothers, and my 1 sister [not my dad] to the Children's Museum to go play with everything it had to offer x2.  Then we packed up and left for Cape Cod.

Coins,Coins,and more Coins!

A few weeks ago I started up coin collecting and I found out that if you take the time to look at it, you can see that there is always so much more to learn about every thing you see and do.  For instance when I asked a coin dealer to tell me how to tell how much a coin is worth he told me one vary surprising fact.  "When a coin dealer tries to find out how much a coin is worth he or she knows that age does not matter one single bit!" [now that was surprising! :].  Most people think that the value of a coin depends on the age [like me! :]. If you web-log viewers want to know what does matter look at this following info.  

1. CONDITION is the thing that matters most. If a coin is in good condition, it might be worth more money. In order for a coin to be worth more than it's original value it must be more than a year old.  If the condition is bad, the coin will be worth it's original value.  
2. MATERIAL also helps determine how much money the coin is worth, BUT, if a coin is gold or silver age does matter. [so for gold and silver coins ignore step 1 :].  For instance, a silver quarter  is worth much more than a normal quarter.DID YOU KNOW that a good conditioned Louisiana silver quarter can be worth up to 10 dollars! For instance, [again] a gold presedental dollar is worth one dollar unless it is old.  But an old presedental dollar can be worth up to like 30 dollars! now you see why material matters.
3. RARENESS matters  because if a coin is really rare, the value on it will rise quickly! 
4. There are much more reasons for a coin to be worth a bunch so I can't list them all. SORRY:{ :{ :{ :{
