spring break 3rd grade US MINT

Today I will be blogging the US MINT.

So first of all the US MINT is actually were coins are made from penny's to 1$ coins
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So the first thing we did was go up stairs we saw some spacial boxes that are awarded when you retire but you needed to be a good worker. Cool fact my grandpa earned one.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When we turned the corner there were humongous windows. We looked throw them and saw gigantic machines hard at work. Men were driving fork lifts that were caring huge roles of different  metals. The roles would  go in to machines that would punch different sized holes. Cool fact there was a silver role on display to touch it felt smooth and strong
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  We got to create our own coin but i didn't come out so you cant take them home for a souvenir.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would rate this place four and a half stars don,t for get to comment if you have any questions thank you.

PA coal mine Today we went to the caverns to learn and explore the coal mine. I took some pictures going down the mine. We had to travel in a spacial car because the mine was 300 below the surface. As we got further in to the mine it got darker and darker. When we got out we followed the light then the man told us about the mine. he let us feel the smooth coal however the coal had been in water so we ended up with black fingers for the rest of the tour. We heard the dripping of water. And he let us here the sound of the dynamite because vary frequently people working in the mine would here the dynamite explode .  I was wearing two jackets because if i did not i would get cold we had to where hard hats for safety reasons i was OK with that so i stay safe but it was not comfortable. My favorite part was felling the soft coal . I would rate this place as 4 stars out of 5 stars.

Hello everyone I have been bad and going to Alcatraz. FOR A  VISIT! First of all have any of you been to Alcatraz? Or really want to go? Well I really wanted to go. My dad said he could not get online tickets because it was booked☹. So the only option was to get up really early and wait in line for 3 hours buy the tickets then wait one more hour. But it was really worth it! So Alcatraz prison was a prison for the most dangerous inmates. They were people who kidnapped, murdered, robbed banks, or didn't pay taxes. John coy was the first to almost escape. He killed guards while in prison then was killed by the military during a escape.   Prisoners who misbehaved would go to solitary confinement. This was a dark room the size of a normal cell but had a special extra door. the inmate would only be let out once a week to take a shower. They started playing music at a certain hour. Everyone who wanted to play music would need to wait till then. Since Alcatraz was 2 mile

Day 1 summer break

Hello everyone I am finally in California, where are you? any way lets get down to business. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ So my uncle lives here in California and he works on military drones. They are  turbo-prop and they are big but you don't drive them from in the airplane you drive it from other places. It was so cool. I can't tell you so much about it because it is top secret. I cant show you a picture of anything there because no phones allowed. Some other military branches  like air force and army were also making those drones. Don't fight the US or you will go down. Some drones  are almost finished. They have lasers to guide the bombs which  can weigh up to 500 pounds! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I would rate this place sixty out of five stars. I loved it. So please comment if
