Hi everyone. I'm in Rome, Italy where there is a lot of really cool "old stuff." In Rome, there is the Colosseum, which is where they used to have gladiators fights in ancient times. I learned that sometimes the gladiators would fight to the death. The ancient Romans liked to see blood and killing, but that was about two thousand years ago. They are really nice now and the Colosseum was almost completely destroyed because of an earthquake.

Hello everybody. I was just in Seattle, which is one of my Dad's favorite places. It is the home of the Space Needle. The Space Needle is a cool, needle-shaped building that has a room at the top that you can look out of to see the city and the surrounding Puget Sound. Being in Seattle also means that we have now officially traveled across the country from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean! That also means I've spent over 150 hours in the car and have driven more than 7,500 miles since July 2nd.

The first night in Seattle we went to a great place called Via Tribunali, which is a restaurant with really good pizza, but that wasn't the best part. We had Nutella (hazelnut-based sweet spread) pizza for dessert and it was the best! Another highlight of our trip was when we got to see our friends, Simon and Theo, who we met at the dude ranch in Wyoming. We all went to a Mariners baseball game together.

Hello once again. I was just in Chicago and you know what that means ... time for another blog!

In Chicago, my Dad has a friend named Greg and he let us stay in his apartment. His apartment is so cool! He has skulls of different animals, rocks of different sizes and colors, and lots of different globes.

In Chicago, the first thing I did was eat the Chicago pizza (remember my previous post when I said I had eaten pizza in every place we'd been so far?). It is seriously the best pizza I have ever tasted. It was so good ... really good. Did I mention it was really, really good? The cheese was the best part. Chicago pizza is famous because it's made in a deep dish, so it has a really fat crust.

After the pizza, we met up with our friend Greg. He lives in an apartment in Lincoln Park. He is a really funny guy. His apartment is really cool because he collects things like turtle shells, fossils, rocks, old books, and maps.

The best part about visiting with Greg was the ride through the city of Chicago in his open-air Jeep, which felt like a roller coaster ride.

We went to a classical musical performance in Millennium Park. It was an outside concert, so I got to play in the park with some other kids. There was a big fountain we all played in.
