The fourteen hour drive was a killer. I still can not believe that I was in the car for twenty-eight hours! My mom, dad, brother, and my brother’s girlfriend got up at two A.M. and left at three A.M. I read for an hour and then slept for two hours. We then watch Star Wars the Force Awakens, a two hour movie. We had a stop at a gas station and got some food. I read for another hour, then I slept the rest of the way there. We got there and saw the hotel and we were awestruck. The hotel was fifteen stories tall and was right on the ocean, as we got off the elevator on the fourteenth floor, we were stunned by the killer view of the ocean. Not counting when we got to our room which had two bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, and a porch that had a stellar view of the ocean and of Destin. The first morning we woke up we had to decide what to do. Eventually we decided to go …show more content…
In Laser Tag you have a laser pointer and you have to hit a small target on the other person’s vest to give them a ‘respawn’ mechanic, unfortunately I got last place with 5,000 points. My dad got first with over 10,000 points. I got scared a few times because my brother would sneak up on me. As the last thing on our trip after Laser Tag we went to the same place and played mini golf almost in pitch black. The only light was black light which makes things glow. Our clothes were glowing and in general blacklight mini golf was a fun experience. I came tied for second, while my brother and dad tied for first. Look up pictures of blacklight mini golf it is fantastic! We ate out at the Irish Pub for our last meal of Florida. It was amazing! The root beer was good and came with a hint of cherry, but even better, the food was five star quality. While a band was setting up to play on stage it started to rain and get on their instruments. Luckily they recovered and played some fantastic, relaxing music to get us ready to go on our fourteen hour drive
Fortunately, there were not many other guests. Blanche took one room with the kids, and we slept in the other room in one single bed, almost like camping out. The next morning we woke and went to the lobby for breakfast. I looked at the menu and was aghast at the prices.
I got out of bed and grabbed some breakfast pancakes, bacon, and some orange juice. It was delicious. After breakfast, my uncle, grandpa, brother and I loaded up the boat and got on the road. We were headed for Mille Lacs Lake. After about an hour of driving, we pulled into the boat launch and backed the boat in, then my grandpa got bait from the bait store by the launch.
The burger wasn’t amazing though. I didn’t really sleep at all on the way to Union Station. Once we got to Union Station I was pretty tired, but it was really cool in there. We got to walk through the city to get to our hotel. It was pretty cool seeing all of the skyscrapers.
The food in Washinton D.C is amazing i had this meat skillet with over easy eggs on the top. After we enjoyed our delicious breakfast we headed to the memorial. I couldnt believe my eyes when we got there.
I decided to talk about how I 've never been out of the state. I have been able to go somewhere many times and it never happens. Everyone in my family has been out of the state many times but me. Everyone always talks about how they went out of the state for vacation but I can talk about going out of the state because I haven 't ever been out of the state.
Especially, my dad who had been driving the whole time. So we pulled off of I-75 onto an exit and went to a gas station. It was like a restaurant and gas station mixed. It was really big and everyone was allowed to grab one snack and a drink. I went with the usual teriyaki beef jerky and strawberry gatorade.
My weekend was as awesome as riding a lion. I went to my aunt and uncles for Thanksgiving. It was as fun as going to Michigan Adventure. I went with my mom, dad, brother, sister, her husband, and my niece. It was awesome.
You could hear some people snoring, and others giggling. We knew it was going to be a long 12 hours, but we knew it would be worth it in the end. Our first stop was in Salina, Kansas to stretch our legs, and use the restroom, and get snacks
It all started with the fourteen hour drive there. Sleeping, listening to music, and blocking out the complaining of my brothers. “Mommm, Carissa’s foot is touching me!” This was all I heard the whole ride there. I continue to turn up my music as loud as it will go and force my eyes shut.
For me, cross country isn’t just a sport to add to your extra curricular activities, nor is it an “easy” sport to join just because you want to be considered an athlete. Cross country is way more than that. It is a lifestyle. It is waking up every morning at 5 a.m., running countless miles until you can’t feel your legs anymore, having no days off, and having to sacrifice plans with your best friends because you have practices and races every weekend. I saw dedication every time I saw my sister grit her face with determination as she forced herself through the finish line.
Next to the roads, where the sidewalks should be, sit large gutters overflowing from the week’s heavy rains. Often covered with plants and weeds or even entirely submerged, the ditches can be treacherous. One missed step and one of us might find ourselves deep inside a drainage canal. As a competitive cross-country runner in Costa Rica, conditions can be perilous on any given day and on any given run. While “cross country” implies running beyond the comforts of a high school track or gymnasium, I doubt that my peers on the Varsity teams in Fairfax, Virginia, where I lived before moving to Costa Rica, regularly dodge crater-sized potholes or run through tropical downpours for months on end.
To begin, there are many time periods of my life I would love to write about, but the time my family and I went on our four day cruise to the Bahamas is by far the greatest experience in my life so far. I 'm writing about our family 's four day cruise because it was one of the best four days of my entire life with all sorts of food, unlimited pop and coffee,and unlimited ice cream with unlimited ice cream cones. During the cruise ship there was a nice pool with an awesome slide, a few different restaurants, an arcade room, youth clubs for almost all age groups, in the kid clubs we made a movie, basketball courts and mini golf, theaters and movies to watch, fireworks, work out rooms, shuffleboards, there was a nice balcony with a great view, many elevators with 11
We headed out to the car. We had about an hour drive to get to our hotel. During the drive, I either listened to music and
I buckle myself into my cousin Grace 's car after eating a wonderful dinner at the Cellar in Geneseo,IL. I got settled into the car with Grace (my cousin) getting ready for a 30 minute car ride to her house in the Quad Cities. Grace and I were acting crazy, as usual. After some time, the car pulled into the steep driveway, and then we arrived at Grace 's house. "So, do you girls want to go swimming now?"
I went home that day with a broken heart and a young boy being disappoint with no fish. Also, the road trip was probably the most annoying one, but one to
