Today we went to an airplane museum. My brother and sister had already seen it but I had not because I was at summer camp when they went. The first thing we did when we got there was to see a really big 747 plane. Then we went to look at planes from World War I and World War II. We got to stand inside a plane that people would've jumped out during World War II. After that we went to look at a bunch of helicopters. At that point we were getting hungry so we ate some lunch. When we had finished lunch we got to go see some Concords. They were the fastest passenger plane ever. We got to walk through two of them. Then we went to see some models of very old planes. Finished with that we went to see some Paintings of hot air balloons. Then we went to see the space section. That part wasn't super interesting. Then since we were all tired we went home.

Today we went to buttes chaumont. We had a picnic with some of my parents friends. It was fun but not very interesting so there Is nothing I need to say about it. One of my parent's friends had a baby who was  very cute.

Today we tried to go to the Jardin de Luxembourg because it has a cool playground. However the playground was closed so it was boring. Then we had some cookies and walked to a playground that was for little kids like really designed for 6 year olds.

Today we went to le chateau de Chantilly. After a really long train ride we finally got breakfast. Then we went to church at a church called Notre dame (not the big cathedral in paris this one was smaller). The priest's homily was 40 minutes long. After that we went to see the castle. It wasn't a whole lot different than any other castle I've been in. It had rooms with lots of paintings on the walls and rooms lined with mirrors. When we were done with the castle we went to get lunch. We had sandwiches. Then we went to the English garden. We saw some baby ducks with their mom. Then we looked around the garden a little more. After we were done we discovered that it was already 4:00 and the last bus to the gare was at 2:30!. Then we had to walk all the way back to the gare to catch a train. It was a mile! We were all tierd after that.

Today we went to a veterinary museum. There were bones from different animals. There were also models of organs. After we looked at that we went to a different part of the museum. In this part of the museum they had animals skeletons and stuffed animals with something genetically wrong that would affect their appearance a lot. There was a stuffed cow with two heads.

Today we went to basilica saint Denis. Saint Denis was born in Italy but came to Gaul ( which is now France ) as a missionary. There he converted a lot of people to Christianity. The pagan priests were upset because of all of the people converted so they had him killed by being beheaded. After that he picked up his his head, and walked 6 miles to the spot of the st. Denis basilica. He said a sermon the entire way. This made him one of around 120 cephalophore saints. 

All but three kings since Clovis are buried there. One king of France was born as king and died 5 days later this making him the youngest king of France ever. We also saw the king robe.
