Note: I wrote this like a month and a half ago in study hall. I just didn't feel like typing it, lazy ass, I know. And the next chapter, too. So if you want it…review it. Oh yeah! Happy belated new year! This year I got champagne)Oh, and the last time I was in Philadelphia was back in, like, 2003..no…2004, Gah, I dunno. I was nine. So, some of this info might be a bit outdated. It's just kind of hard to research Philadelphia in study hall when your study hall teacher is a freaking tyrant.

Dear Joe,
Nice, eat all the chicken nuggets why don't you? Anyways, I know your not a big fan of history, so I'm not going to go into that stuff. In fact, you probably stopped reading at the word history! But, nonetheless, I'm pressing on. We spent yesterday in Philadelphia. It was truly fascinating. My mom and I got kicked out of the liberty bell area, though. Just because my mom had a serious tourist moment and pretty much climbed under the liberty bell to take pictures of the inside! They take security very very VERY seriously here. I mean, they literally threw us out. I also saw Betsy Ross's house, First Post Office, and Independence Hall. Plus, you know, a lot of other things you won't remember from history. Earlier today, though, my mom decided that for our last day here we should go to a 'super cool museum.' We also learned never to trust the internet.
You see, my mom looked up 'Cool Museums in Philadelphia' on goggle. We chose one at random, that seemed ok, but we emend up going to the Please Touch museum. It's a children's museum. I'm 16, my mom is 39. Somehow, I don't see us as children. But it was actually pretty cool. They had this igloo made out of old milk jugs( which my mother and I got STUCK in with a five year old who did not speak English. I'm pretty sure he was cussing us out in Chinese.) A water play area, which mass chaos ensued at. A grocery store that was like a real live mini one. Boxes and boxes of food, freakishly real checkout lines, stock carts, freezers, everything! There was even an Alice In Wonderland play area. We played crochet with flamingo's and dressed up like cards. Despite the fact that the costumes were six sizes too small. They had free stickers at the museum, so I'm sending you one. It had an elephant on it. AN ELEPHANT!
But, now, I'm currently back at our current Holiday Inn, sitting by the pool, watching my mom and some huge buff biker boys play poker with my mom. I think we've won 200 dollars and a watch. No…200 dollars, a watch…and some corn chips. I think I'll go eat the corn chips.
Your internet betrayed friend,
Iola.
P.S. Lock Callie and Frank in a closet, much more original.
