George and Shelby travel to Venice Beach, FL!

Hello friends! It's me, George! I am so excited to tell you all about my trip to Venice Beach , FL over Spring Break with my friend Shelby. For the week of Spring Break, I traveled with the Pearson's to Orlando, FL for a family vacation. While we were there in Florida, on Thursday, March 13th, we went to the city of Venice for a relaxing day on the beach. While we were in Venice, next to the beach, we saw the Florida Flight Training Center. It was there that we learned about the historical significance of the city of Venice and this Flight school. On September 12, 2001, the day after the 9/11 attack, national news and the FBI descended on Venice as it was discovered that 3 of the hijackers in the September 11 attacks, Mohamed Atta, Marwan al-Shehhi, and Ziad Jarrah, had all lived in Venice for the purpose of taking flight training lessons at the Venice Municipal Airport. The trio had all enrolled in the Florida Flight Training center there in Venice. Before traveling to Venice, I did not know that such a small town had such recent historical significance. On our drive home from Florida I thought about all I had learned about the small city of Venice and how much fun I had on vacation! I can't wait to go on my next adventure!
