Favorite Place in the U.S.

There are several places in the U.S. that I love to be. First of all I love Austin, Texas. Not only because it is my hometown, but I also love all the wonderful things that make Austin unique. Austin is one of those cities where you can live there for your whole life and you still find things and places you've never seen before. I love all the people, places, festivals, etc. that make Austin the fabulous place that it is today.
I also love going to Florida every summer with my sister and my daddy. We always go to the same, small town, and stay in the same place. We go to the same restaurants and do the same activities, we sometimes even hang out with the same people. The town that we go to is called Seagrove. Its located about an hour outside of Destin, and is in a row of tiny towns such as Seaside and Watercolor. I always enjoy going down there and being on the beach.
The last, but certainly not the least, favorite place of mine in the U.S. is Jeromesville, Ohio. This is where my grandparents live and where my mom grew up. Every time we go up to visit we always see the ENTIRE family. We're a crazy bunch, but we always have so much fun. All of the cousins are really close, my sister and one of my cousins even have the same name. And they're only six months apart in age.
Although there are lots of places in the U.S. these are by far my favorites.

Terrorists

There have been a few terrorist attacks in America. The biggest and one that caused the most trauma and damage would be 9/11, the attack of the World Trade Center. There have also been attacks on the Pentagon and some plans to attack the White House. I guess the terrorists motives are that America is a threat to them. I suppose they think that our government is going to try to destroy thier country or maybe some of the customs we have in the U.S. are against their religion. What our country does to protect itself is start wars with the countries that we think might be a threat to us. I dont think that it is a very efficiant way of protection but the government does, so thats how we protect ourselves.
