Ellicott City, Maryland

    When we located this school, they said that we could Skype with each other.  When we called them, we asked them why people should go to their state. They said there are professional sport teams, like the Baltimore Ravens and Orioles. They have all four seasons, which is different from here. They have the water park called Ocean City, which sounds like a fun place to play. The Chesapeake Bay is beautiful, and they have wonderful landforms. They also have Old Ellicott City, which reminds us of the fact that they are a colonial state. Did you know Babe Ruth was married there too, and they have Triple Crown races?

    After all those reasons to go there, we asked them some facts and they said their nickname is the Old Line State. They also have many civil war battlefields, but they don’t have any natural lakes. Edgar Allen Poe, a famous poet, died there, so the Ravens, the football team, took their name from his poem. Their state drink is milk, and the state food is the Smith Island Cake.

    Next, they said that you should go crab catching, polar bear plunge, which is to jump into a lake in the winter, and go to the Science Aquarium. They also have historical things in Annapolis. When we asked them what kids like to do at recess, they all were raising their hands. When they were picked to come up, they said they like to play basketball, kickball, four square, and jump rope. That was our big adventure in Ellicott City, Maryland. I hope you join us next time. We enjoyed having you!
