  1. Hi! This is LuLu from Connecticut. I'm Cheney Parkhills aunt. I love your travel diary! I put lots of information in the diary anout Fairfield, Connecticut, including our state song. Yankee Doodle Dandy.

    The diary is headed off today to Cheney's cousin Sofia in Tennessee- she's in vet school there (and then after that to Donald her other cousin in North Carolina - after that I dont know where it's headed but I'm sure some more fun and interesting places!)

    Love LuLu

  2. Hi Cheney and 4th grade class. This is Lulu again. I just took the train to New York city. It's about 45 minutes from Fairfield, so an easy ride. I go to Grand Central Station to pick up yummy cupcakes!

    Did you know New York City was our country's first capital? And that before it was called New York city it was called New Amsterdam?

    And that the Statue of Liberty is in New York Harbor? The plaque on the statue says:

    "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore."

    Love LuLu

  4. Good Morning! This is Crosby. Porter Cook's aunt from Connecticut. Do you know what Cheney and Porter have in common? (Hint: where is LuLu from?)

    Here are three fun facts about Connecticut:
    Connecticut is the 3rd smallest state by area.
    Connecticut ranks 3rd in the density of horses nationwide.
    Connecticut is home to Yale University, founded in 1701, and the 3rd oldest institution of higher education in the U.S.

    Wishing all of you a fun journey with your travel diaries!

  6. Good morning. This is Henry's aunt Sarah, writing from Salt Point, NY. There are no postcards of my hamlet because it only has four businesses; a post office, fire station, deli and restaurant. I will send instead a postcard from the college where I work.

  7. Hi Cheney and class! This is Hannah, Cheney's god sister. Aunt Beth and I just wrote all about Dallas, Texas, Cheney's old home. Next the diary will head north to Illinois, where Cheney and I both used to live! Can't wait to hear all about the awesome places it goes after.
