Our next stop was to Burlington, Massachusetts. When we got there, we
asked them why people should visit their state, and they said that there
are history museums and zoos. They also told us about Martha’s
Vineyard, a popular summer tourist destination. The sandy beaches of
Cape Cod are another beautiful site to see. Massachusetts sounds like a
wonderful place to visit.
After all of those wonderful reasons to visit their state, we asked
them about some facts. They told us that they had a state cookie, the
chocolate chip cookie! That is a state fact we haven’t heard before.
They also told us that there state flower was the Mayflower. Do you
know why it’s their state flower? The Mayflower, the ship, landed in
Massachusetts. They have some other interesting state facts like the
Morgan Horse as their state horse and the cranberry as the state berry.
Those are some very clever state facts.
They told us some fun things to do when you visit. You can take a swan
boat ride, explore to the Boston Children’s Museum, and visit to the
Museum of Science, Boston. They also told us that the Boston Tea Party
took place there. Many historical events have taken place around the
Boston area. Can you believe all of those places are in Massachusetts?
When we asked them what they like to do at recess, all of the kids
wanted to answer. When some of the kids came up, they said that they
like to jump rope, play tag, play hopscotch, and to go on the swings.
Massachusetts loves their sports teams, too. Go, Red Sox! See you in
New Mexico!
