CALIFORNIA By NS​

​  I am going to California also known as The golden state. Some interesting facts are that it applied for statehood in 1800. It joined the union in 1850. Also California's motto is "We have found it!". Lastly the state flower is the golden Poppy and the state bird is the California Quail(shown above). As you can see i am going to California which has some vary interesting facts. California has also had a vary interesting history! One thing is that in 1769 Captain Gas pardertola led an expedition that made the first military force in San Deigo.(He was the governer of Baja California.) Also in 1848 gold was discovered in California.(Right before a peace tready!)another thing is that IN september 1850 California joined the union.(It was the 31st state to join.) Also in 1906 a huge earthquake shook San Fransico.( It destroyed most of the city.) Lastly in 1963 California became the largest populated state in the U.S. As you can see California has had a vary interesting past.

I choose the state California because of all the amazing places to go. One of these places is legoland.this place has sculptures made out of legos.Also I would like to go to Balboa Island.This island is beautiful and perfect for a vacation spot. Another place and one of my favorite places is Hollywood. Hollywood is the home of all the vary famous people.But,there is more then just celebs.Acually Hollywood is more of a torist spot not a celebrities backyard. Also I want to go to Los Angles. I would want to go there because there are some vary nice hotels and i want it to be mostly at or my home for the vacation. Last but not least I would like to go to The Hearst Castle. This castle is wonderful and around 1000 years old.It has been changed so it doesnt fall apart and so more people will come. As you can see I choose California because it has many vary interesting places to go.
