“Wake up” Mom yelled, all the way from downstairs I could hear her. I checked on the time and it was already 6:00 am when we were supposed to leave. I jumped out of bed, ran to my closet and started getting ready for our road trip to Chicago. When I got down stairs, everyone was running around the house, trying to get ready. Mom was getting her makeup on, Dad was taking a shower, Alyssa was getting dressed and Garrett and I were the only ones ready. Until everyone was ready we rushed out the door slamming our bags in the back of the car and drove away into the sunrise. As we were on the road, it was silent. But Alyssa brought her Tablet so we could watch movies, We were observing the movie, Beastly. The movie was great, that kept us busy for at least two hours. But we still had at least two more …show more content…
Then we rushed back to the car, not even checking out the hotel room. Now we had to get the Shedd Aquarium but it was close by. It was at least 11:00 am and I was still tired. But it 's worth it for looking at sea animals, I 've never really seen. We finally get to the Shedd Aquarium, just in time. Everyone got their wristbands, but first we got to see a part of Happy Feet in 3D. After it was over we walked through the aquarium gazing at the penguins, turtles, dolphins, seals etc. Later on we walked into the starfish sanctuary, a worker let me touch a freezing starfish, I was shivering after just a few seconds. After that we headed toward the dolphin show, the dolphins were trained so well, it was exotic. After the dolphin show was over, we were over with this trip to the Shedd Aquarium. We managed to get out of there, it was really busy. The family decided to go back to hotel and get some rest, since we were all exhausted. We took the car and drove to the hotel, All of us climbed into the elevator and waited until we got on our floor. I ran to the king size bed and belly flopped onto the bed. I closed my eyes and fell
I did not see any dolphins in the morning but my grandparents told me that we were going to go see some dolphins on a dolphin cruise. Because Gulf Shores is on the Gulf of Mexico dolphins like to ride the waves when boats go out. We drove to the dolphin cruise place and we got on the boat. There were lots of old people on the boat. My sisters and I were the only kids on the boat.
In my mind’s eye, I can still picture driving from Seagraves, Texas to Orlando, Florida in a brand new Kia that we just got. I remember driving on the overpass above the Mississippi River and how far out of sight it went. We took two long, dreadful days to get to Orlando, but when we got there it was totally worth it. On the first day we got in Orlando my family
When I got there I was very surprised that there was a camera. It felt like I was on live television. I was not, but I was on a web site. It’s not as cool, but still is. My dad came over to give me a water
impatiently waiting on the tour guide to speak to our group. “Girls you are dismissed, have fun”, She said. I ran into the place and saw a bunch of amazing
The Keys never disappoints as the water was crystal clear and looked like a scene out of a movie. We spent the whole day fishing as a family and got to see many different fish of all shapes in sizes. An experience like that truly makes you appreciate the wildlife that roams this earth. The next memorable part of the trip involved us going snorkeling and checking out the reefs.
Rushing to brush our teeth, brush our hair, and get our bags all waiting by the door. Her grandparents were running behind a little, arriving at her house at 6:20 am. It was still pitch black outside with not even a little sunrise. We rushed out to the
Nor, did I see big fish, but I did see small like bass fish. During the walking and the picking up of the trash, I got talking with my floormates. I got to learn what they like to do,and just interesting things about them. This learning service allowed me to get to know the people that I now considered to be “the
As we went on, there was more astonishing animals like seals and prairie dogs. We were separated into groups, so different groups got to explore more or less and so they don’t have so many kids to worry about. Our group got to get some ice cream after a few paths. The cones were huge and extremely delicious. Then after lunch we had to go back to school.
Bahamas My family and I went to the Bahamas on April 19, 2015. The Bahamas is an island located of the coast of Florida. We flew into the Nassau, Bahamas and stayed at the Atlantis Resort. We went because my Dad was getting honored for being with the Principal Financial Group for 20 years, but that was only two days out of the trip and we went for eight.
I jumped in, and immediately began scrambling to make sure everything was alright. Once I finally got down to the reef, I was anything but scared. The reef was like its own underwater city; everything was so alive. The vibrant corals waving through the current, the schools of fish swimming around like they were performing some sort of dance, and the occasional turtle or ray that sparked
Once we got to the resort, we wandered around for a good ten minutes. We finally found the banquet hall after our aimless wandering. We then checked in with the D.V.C cast members. The banquet hall was magnificent.
We stopped at Starbucks and got breakfast and something to drink. Shortly we pulled into the hotel. The hotel was one of Disney’s. It’s called the Swan and Dolphin. We were only staying there one day, because we had made arrangements to go to a different hotel, the one that we’ve always gone to.
The day came it was early morning, bird singing, warm temperature, and a beautiful blue sky perfect weather. I woke up and it was fishing time, I was so excited. I remember my room being so messy and my parents told me to clean before we left, so I did. I was so excited that I cleaned my room and did some other chores around the house so fast cause I just wanted to go fishing. We got to the car and left to rocky mountain at our fishing spot and I was just being like most annoying kid would say, "Where are we?", "Are we lost?", and "Are we there yet?
My little nine-year-old brother was jumping up and down like a kangaroo shouting “Los Angeles Los Angeles. “ I helped my father to put all the suitcases in the back of the Range Rover. I went and sat at the back with my twin sister and younger brother on my left. The sunlight through the window made my black hair look like honey. My eyelids felt like lead and I fell asleep.
When we finally got to the Loveland Aquarium, and our group went straight to the tropical area of the museum and went and saw some types of fish. One of the fish were huge and the smallest ones there were about 1 1/2 feet long! We also saw some birds that started yelling at us, just because we were trying to talk to it. That was the most fun part of the Loveland Aquarium! Going up the stairs to the second part of the exhibit, we saw some more birds some poison dart frogs.
