Today I woke up all jazzed and ready to go, accomplished my morning routine and the teacher reminded us today was the day for Muir Woods!

On the third day, our class ventured to Jamestown and Colombia, California. First stop – Jamestown. The first thing we did to kick off the day’s journey was panning for gold!

I am a total periodic table geek, so when I heard that scientists had found four new elements I went crazy! Can you believe it? Scientists found FOUR new elements!
