Sea Glass Kids: Sailing in Oregon [James Burke]

We have been sailing around the world on a sixty foot aero rig. An aero rig is a special type of boat with a mast that can spin backwards over one hundred eighty degrees. We are currently sailing in Oregon with two Guinea pigs and a dwarf hamster. All of those pets are cared for by my brother Jacob.

First we went to Scappoose. We went there to see my family. They had gotten a new house that was just one mile from the marina we stayed in. There house was humongous. We stayed in the marina for about three days. The next place we went to was Portland. My mom introduced me to her friend Carolyn. She had two cats Sadie and Sophie.

We went to the beauty and the beast musical. Carolyn said her nieces were coming over Nanami and Raina. The beauty and the beast musical was great. We met Carolyn's friend Alyce and Alyce's son Adam and Carolyn's friend Tom. Adam tought me an awesome and tricky card trick. We next went to the nutcracker ballet. We spent Christmas in the marina and in Carolyn's apartment where we got the Lego deathstar. There were tons of Christmas boats we even got to walk down the dock and see them all. It was very fun. We also went over to my moms cousins house. Her name was Rachel we saw her husband Cori.

Carolyn had to leave her apartment so my grandma came over and stayed at her apartment. She took care of the cats. We all got to spend some time over with my grandma. When it was my turn we played lots and lots and lots of games. We saw the seventh starwars movie it was awesome. After adventuring around in Portland we sailed to Coos bay. We heard that Carolyn was up in Newport so we rented a car and drove up. We stayed in the hotel she was staying in for one day. The hotel was very interesting because all the rooms in the hotel represented different authors. My dad and my mom stayed in the Mark Twain room while Jacob, Joshua and I stayed in the dr. Seuss room.
