Kaleb’s Travels The life and times of Kaleb Guard

The next day, Pop and I went to the science museum in London. On our way, we went past a playground that had “Princess Diana Memorial Playground” on the gate it also said “Opens 10:00AM”. Poppa said “We should come back later” and I said “Yay!”. So we kept walking to the museum.

The museum turned out to be only half-way down the street from the playground. We went in and it was pretty big and I will admit it was really cool. We saw the spy exhibit first and we went in. It was so cool, we were given swipecards to access the different activities. In each activity we had to find clues. There was one activity where we had to search through a suspect's bin and find clues. We found three clues in that activity. We had to find something that the man had thrown away containing his DNA. We found that there was a toothbrush in the bin – that was a clue!

We went to the dynamite activity next, where you had to try and get some dynamite out of a box that the suspect kept secret. It was hard because you had to get the dynamite out of the box without it touching the sides or it would explode! Poppa and I managed to get it all out and a screen told us that we had succeeded so we went on to the next activity.

We saw a booth which contained the next activity. There were clothes in the booth and you had to change into them so you would look different. We were getting into a disguise so that the suspect would recognise us so we would not be caught. On the inside of the booth, there was a picture of the suspect and it's eyes keep looking around for spies. Again, we succeeded, so we went on to the next activity.

The next room was fun because it was an x-ray room. We used our cards to open the x-ray machine activity and lights came on and took an x-ray of us. Then we swiped our cards again and saw our x-rays. We passed the test so I got a SPY badge.

We left the spy exhibit and went to see a 3D movie about the sea. It was really fun because we got to see all these cool fish and sharks and I really liked that because it was 3D and because it was about two of my favorite subjects the sea and fish.

After the movie, we left the museum and went to the Princess Diana Memorial Playground that we had seen on the way to the musem and we went in. I saw a massive ship that had a crow's nest and everything. It was just so amazing. The ropes were strong so I was pretending to be Captain Jack Sparrow by swinging on them.

I met a boy name John who was about six and we made friends! We played dirty pirates which was a game we made up where we put sand on our arms and legs and pretended to be priates. We also played “Jumping John” – another game we made up where I would say “Jump John Jump!” and then he would jump. Then we went below decks and we played hide and seek and I keeped finding John but he couldn't find me. After that, we both played normal pirates (not dirty pirates), and I was captain Jack sparow and John was Mr. Gibbs. That was fun because we found the treasure that Captain Jack wanted. Then we met a new boy named Will and we played together. John and Will couldn't find me when we were playing hide and seek but then they saw me in a corner where I had climbed up into a cell below decks – and I can admit that was pretty difficult. Then we played pirates and because Will was named Will he was Will Turner. That was good fun because we all really were really good actors. Then I noticed that Pop had fallen asleep so I told John and Will that I had to leave and went over to Poppa and woke him up. I told him that we should go now so we left.

We went back to the hotel had dinner and went to bed. But the next day...

“there was much more to come and much more fun!!!”
