I am quickly falling in love with New
Jersey . It is a wonderful place to live. I love New Jersey
even though there are a lot of 500 pound bears. New
Jersey is called the Garden
State . They call it the Garden
State because they grow a lot of crops
in southern New Jersey . There are
so many interesting facts about New Jersey .
One fact I love is ….
“The first set of twins to have both flown space are
Mark and Scott Kelly, identical twins born in West Orange , NJ . In March 2011, the Kelly
brothers became the first set of blood relatives to meet in space. In October
2010, Scott Kelly started his 5 1/2 month mission to the International Space
Station, and Mark Kelly blasted off in February and reached the Space Station
on March 1, 2011” (www.njeha.org/njfacts.html).
That’s a wonderful fact, isn’t it? Then I researched another fact that said that
there are more horses in New Jersey than Kentucky ! (www.njeha.org/njfacts.html)
Then I found another fact that made me almost faint of
excitement!!! (By the way, it has to do with shopping):
I love shopping so much that I was so excited when I
found this fact. I’ve been to a couple of shopping malls since we’ve gotten
here. Our family has been to Rockaway Mall, NYC shopping-of course- and two
other malls that I don’t remember the names.
That’s about all about New Jersey . But there are a lot more facts
about New Jersey so maybe you could look up some
more. And that is just some reasons why I love New Jersey .
That was a neat fact about the twins being the first blood relatives to meet in space. I'll bet there are not many people who know that--unless they have read your blog!! I love to shop, too! When Aunt Kelly visits, we always try to have a shopping day--and we don't seem to get as tired shopping as doing other things!! lol
ReplyDeleteI love reading your blogs, Kelsie!
