Trip to the Freemont Troll
















So my cousins kept telling me about a troll under the bridge - I of course thought of the story of the 3 Billy Goats and the troll under the bridge - but I was not prepared to see how big he was. Four artists built the Troll under the bridge in 1990 for the Freemont City Arts Council. Boy is he big! You can crawl all over him. And guess what? While I was there I actually ran into Flat Stanley from Ohio! I was really excited because he was riding in a motorcycle with a dog named Lucy (she actually had goggles on!) Well we talked about everything we had seen in Washington - and surprisingly we had visited a lot of the same spots! After visiting the Troll we decided we needed something sweet to eat - so we went to a chocolate factory! You could actually walk through and eat as much chocolate as you wanted - but this was no ordinary chocolate - there was hot pepper chocolate, lavender chocolate, vanilla bean chocolate - boy was it yummy! I really like Washington! Oh, by the way - it has been sunny everyday since Saturday! No raincoat needed yet!
