We walked to school today! It was truly and exciting experience and went much more smoothly than I imagine. My friend spent the night at my house and we left in the morning at 7 AM. We reached the school an hour and a half later at 8:30 AM. The beginning of the journey was tedious and a little hopeless because we ventured down an incredibly long road and we did not have a conversation going. Our backpacks were gradually growing heavier and making our shoulders more sore. After crossing the first stoplight, things started looking up because we realized we had made more progress than we thought and we started distracting ourselves with music and conversation. Before we knew it, we were in Friendly Center, which is only a few minutes from Grimsley. We stopped to take a few pictures of the gardens near us and we grew slightly sad because our adventure was almost over. We had so much fun on this walk and it was an exciting learning experience.
