Diary+Entry

Dear Diary,

Today, my mom told me that we are going to find a place to get away from this New York summer rush. She said we will come back in two months, when summer is over. What if we can't find anywhere to stay? I think it will be fun, but I don't really want to leave all my friends and things here all summer. At least we are going with our family friends, the Woolmans, but I am still the only girl. Mom said that we will ride until we can find a place that is hidden in the woods around a lake. I have never been to a place that is hidden before. She says that we will camp in the woods all summer and hopefully find someone to help us buy the land. I am just a little nervous for this trip, but I guess I will go anyway. Wish me luck!
