James’ Pressbox

A look at life through the eyes of an 12-year-old boy.

On our vacation one place we stopped was Fredericksburg,

Virginia. I got to see the auction block where they bought and sold people. I

bought a Civil War spoon and two bullets. One was Union and one was Confederate.

When we went to D.C., we saw Ford’s Theater. Lincoln was shot

by Booth during a play. We saw the White House from the black fence. I did

not get to see Bill Clinton. The flight museum was three times bigger than

the one in Seattle.

New York is a very busy place. The taxi drivers are impatient. We

stayed with Aunt Sonia and Uncle Jim in Maryland. Thank you. Thank

you Kathy for letting us stay in your apartment.
