Happy Weekends
2/11（Sun）
I went to bed at late time on the night before, when TelliLee said to me, “Please sleep as much as you want.” That's why I got up at ten in the morning, and then I went to a supermarket, H-Mart with TelliLee. While we were shopping, TelliLee explained to me patiently. The store building, products and carts were all very big. Then TerriLee drove me to the sea, a school, a library and so on. The buildings and the scenery were beautiful.
We ate American yakisoba for dinner. It had soy sauce taste, and it was very delicious. I was surprised to find soy sauce and vineger in the refrigerator. TerriLee loves cooking and she is conscious about eating balance, so her dish always had many vegetables. We enjoyed talking while eating. They listened to me patiently, and I was very glad about that.

2/17（Sat）
We went to the Museum of Flight with Mai. The museum had many difficult English, but David and TerriLee like airplanes and they know a lot about them. That's why they explaind easily for us to understand. The museum had many real airplanes outside, and they were very impressive. The museum also had the airplane that the American Presidents used to use, and we were able to see its inside. The airplane had a big meeting room inside. We were able to see the precious airplane.
We went to the restaurant at the museum. Mai and I ate hot dog and potato chips. When we came back home, David and TerriLee gave us each a pilot teddy bear they had bought at the museum. We were surprised and we were impressed by the kindness of them.

2/18（Sun）
I drunk green smoothie for breakfast. TerriLee made it with a big blender, and used a lot of fruits and vegetables in it. It was very delicious and fresh.
I went to a shoping mall with TerriLee in the afternoon, and bought a pair of pink sneakers. It was very cute, but it cost only $16. I was surprised, but TerriLee said, “This cost is nomal.” I felt clothes and shoes were a lot cheaper in America than those in Japan. We went to SUBWAY for lunch, and I orderd by myself. They asked me many questions, so TerriLee helped me out.
Next, we went to a stadium to watch a game of ice hockey. Ice hockey is popular in America. We were able to watch it at a seat on the third row from the front. A player hit the wall and almost made a fight. It was very powerful. During the halftime the stadium became dark, and everybody turned on the light of smart phones. Everybody sang and danced. It was a really fun time.

2/24（Sat）
I went to a zoo and aqualium with David and TerriLee. The facilities had a zoo and an aqualium together, so the place was very large. I was able to see a tiger, an elephant, a wolf, a white bear and so on. In the aqualium, I touched starfish. I had expected that starfish was soft because they were moving, but when I touched them, they were very hard like a stone. It was a new discovery for me. We went to a restaurant for lunch in the same facilities. I ate beef and bacon hamburger. It was the most delicious hamburger I had ever had.

2/25（Sun）
I went to Ms. Gracie's house. She is a relative of my host family's. It took us about one hour from our house. The place had many horses and cows, and Ms. Gracy had her own horse and many cows. I was going to ride a horse, but it suddenly started to rain heavily. I was shocked, but they showed me their horses and cows instead, which were very cute. We made sandwiches and tomato soup for lunch. Then we watchd TV and they showed me around the house.
We went to a high quality restaurant in a big casino for dinner. When we arrived at parking, we did not have to park our car by ourselves. They had good service to park the car in the parking lot. And when we returned, they drove our car to the entrance. I was surprised at the service. We joined TerriLee' s niece and her friend Honomi. Honomi is exchange student from Japan. We had dinner together. I was nervous very much, but I was able to have a great experience after all I was glad to meet them.
