Adventures of flat Jake

I've ben living in Chappaqua, NY for two and a half weeks now and I have been loving it.  I really like the family I live with and the kids are good listeners... for seven year olds :).  Recently, my nephew Jake sent me his flat Jake (like flat Stanley) for me to take around and show him the area.  First stop, Ted's Restaurant to try the famous steamed cheeseburgers!!!  My mouth is melting just thinking about them now. The workers put the burgers in these trays and stick them in a steamer.  The burger was so juicy and cooked all the way through.  But the cheese.  The Cheese!!  I could write a song about the cheese.  It's a white chedder cheese with a sharp taste to it.  But this cheese isn't just melted on the burger.  No, it's steamed in it's own dish and poured over the juicy burger place a a perfect bun.  Amazing!  

  Flat Jake liked them so much he passed out from being so full.

After a perfect lunch Shilo, Jake, and I took a drive to Hartford to visit Mark Twain's house.  The tour guide gave so much interesting information about Twain or Samuel Clemens.  Up on the mantle in their library were small trinkets and pictures and his daughters would ask him to make up stories involving all those trinkets displayed on the mantle.  The trick was that he had to go from left to right and chnge the story everytime, involving all the items.  

At the end of the tour the guide said that throughout the whole house is where Samuel Clemens existed, but upstairs in the Billard room where the writing desk was is where Mark Twain existed.  It was at that desk in the corner where he created some of the most beloved novels from American Literature such as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. 

Our day in Connecticutt wasn't the last of the adventures of flat Jake.
