I'm Annie and I went to Maine this summer. I go to Maine every year because my mom grew up there. We drove one year from Des Monies, Iowa with my mom and dog Sikou (C-Koo). We drove through Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, New Hampshire, and Maine for five days. One night I got food poisoning and it wasn't fun. I felt like I was puking out my guts. On the way we saw swimming snakes, open roads, and a lot of wind turbines. When we finally were there we met up with my grandparents in a small cabin on the side of a lake that they had built when my mom was about 4 or 5. we stayed out there for a week. We went kayaking with my mom and Sikou, we swam in the lake, Green Lake, and when Sikou got wet, he looked like a wet mop because he was all white and is really fluffy. We stopped by one of my moms good friends, and we brought Sikou, which wasn't a good idea, and put him in a fence at my moms friends house. They had a small dog and Sikou isn't good with other dogs. So we left to go out to eat leaving Sikou in the fence. When we got back he was gone. He had dug under the fence. We called a whole bunch of people in the area and somebody found him. They poor guy had "done his business" all over himself. So we had to hose him down. After all this we had to go back. We were sad but we had to go home sometime. So we said goodbye to my grandparents and we headed back. It was good to be back home. Our cats were happy to see us and we were happy to see them. That was my vacation to Maine.
