Story teller

Dear Journal,

With school I don’t have much time to catalog our adventures, but as it is my turn I will proceed with the story. We all assembled in the time machine “So when did the Revolutionary War start?” asked Patience. “April 19, 1775, but we aren’t going there,” I replied. “Where are we going?” Mercy asked. “I think I’ll show you,” I said. I typed in 1748 Shenandoah Valley, Virginia. We climbed out of the time machine. “Wow! This is cool.” Bethany said. Mountains, rivers, and forests, all untouched by man spread out in front of us. “I didn’t know it would be so amazing.” For a while we marveled in God’s creation until I saw George. “Look over there,” I said pointing at George. “That is the official surveyor for Virginia.” “Who is that and how old is he?” Bethany asked. “That is George Washington and he is 18 years old.” I answered. “This is probably great training to know the land for future,” Patience remarked as we climbed in to the time machine. I typed "Great Meadows, Pennsylvania May 28, 1754" in. We heard gunshots and there were some French men surrounded by some men some wearing British uniforms, some just the coats, and others just normal cloths. “Is that George Washington?” Mercy asked. “And if it is, why is he wearing a British uniform?” “That is George and he is wearing a British uniform because he is the commander of the Virginia militia and this is before the Revolutionary War.” I answered. “But this is in Pennsylvania, not Virginia,” Patience said. “This is in land that was claimed by multiple colonies,” I replied. The battle was over and only one of George Washington’s men were wounded. “We won,” Patience said. “And we need to get moving,” I said as we climbed in the time machine. “I think I’ll skip his time serving under General Braddock, his marriage and go to his time in the house of burgesses after the stamp act.” I said typing in "May 29, 1765, Williamsburg, Virginia." Then we climbed out and in front of us was a nice two-story building. The lower story had round windows. It's rectangular shape with two tower jut outs we entered. A man was talking. I recognized him as Patrick Henry and he was talking about the stamp act. After the speech we returned home. “We need to go back to the Revolutionary War,” Patience said. “Yeah, I want to see George in action,” Mercy agreed.
