Riley fun blog

My favorite resturante is ESPN Zone. I have been to many over the United states like, LA,Anehiem, DC, Flourida, and now New York. Only a couple more to go. I love the ESPN Zone because it's all sports. Games and fun is what it's all about! I even have a ESPN Zone jacket. I love this resturante and can't wait to visit the others I haven't been to. The ESPN Zone rocks!

Today we visited the liberty bell across from Independence Hall. Did you know that Washington turned his presidency over to Adams at Independence Hall? We also learned that the Liberty Bell was originally in Independence Hall, but after it cracked they moved it across the street to save it. We also toured the Constitution buliding. "WE THE PEOPLE," that is how the Constitution begins. We learned what it was for, what It did, and what it always will do. The Constitution was ratified from the Articles of Confederation. Philly is very historical!

When the statue of liberty was created in France, I'm sure it took a while to plan. They would have to make sketches, measurements, and drawings. The person that would create this would probably be a civil engineer or a artistic engineer. Our biggest symbol as Americans, was made with science.

Grant fun. Today we went to the top of the rock. It was amazing to see the view from the top of the rock. The elevator ride up and down was cool because you could see the elevator shaft. At the top you could see the empire state building. You could also see central park that looked like a huge rectangle. I dont want to
leave new york but i guess we have to.

Heading to Broadway

The New York stock exchange is responsible for most of the American money some may even say the worlds money. The way stock exchanges work is that a company sells part of it but they still keep the biggest percent of the company. For example if i made it so my company was able to buy stocks in it i would offer 40% of my company so i still had 60% of my company.
