Going to the State Aquarium: A few years ago, I went to the aquarium in Corpus Christi. It was great seeing all the animals up close. We saw dolphins, sea otters and turtles, just to name a few of them. We went there to explore the island and to see the aquarium they had there. Before anything else that happened that day, we had to get there, so we drove about 2-3 hours to get to Corpus Christi. We first had to situate ourselves in the hotel. It was late that day so we decided to sleep. We decided that same night that we would explore the beaches and the aquarium the next day. On the next day, we woke up kind of late since we had that long drive the other day before started to get ready. We ate for free at the hotel since they had had free breakfast and my brothers also woke up as well, to the surprise of my mother and me. Also, we had decided that we would go to the aquarium first before anything else (after eating breakfast of course). After the aquarium, we would go to the beach and after that go back to the hotel and to relax there. After all this was done, we finally went to the aquarium. They had otters, dolphins, sea turtles, sharks; they had a lot of animals, there. What took my breath away more than anything was the size of the inside of the exhibit in the aquarium called, "The Coral Reef". It was easily more than twenty feet in diameter and ten to fifteen feet high. It was majestic and beautiful because one could see all the animals that were swimming in that
We went to Sea World when we first got down to Florida. The first day we were at Sea World we went and saw all the animals they had in the exhibits. We saw whales, fish, dolphins, birds, bears, and so much more. The second day we were there we went on the other side of the park and rode rides. Later in the evening we went and
“ ‘Cheer up my friend, the game’s not over. You can still win. I hope you do. ’Those were the last words Sandy had said to her” (Raskin pg.185). The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin is about a game that if you win, you get 200 million dollars. This book is filled with mystery and adventure. The Westing Game movie is more exciting than the book and is also filled with mystery. The Westing Game book and movie contain many similarities and differences that are worth 200 million dollars.
Once we got to San Antonio we got lost for about 15 minutes because of a road contruction. It was fun with my girls we were singing, talking about there school and we saw diffrent park attractions and all kinds of other places. Finally at around 11:30 a.m we got to Harlingen, Texas at my sisters house safe and sound. But that didn't stop us , once we got there we just picked up my sister and my nephew and we headed to the beach of South Padre Island. We were almost there because you can start to smell the fresh salt water and see the big 2 mile stretch of the bridge. Once we arrived we parked right by the water on the sand. My girls just got off my car and started running towards the waves of water. Me and my sister watched while my nephew and my girls were splashing in the water. We really enjoyed that day. We had a barbeque and played volley ball, relaxed on top of a float in the
Mr. Kovach was far from the most liked teacher at Fort Osage High School. In fact, before joining one of his classes my senior year, I remember a friend of mine telling me, “I had him last semester. It was a really hard class.” Still, having been told to not give in to “senioritis,” I entered into his college credit english class with a determined mindset. I still remember the first day: him standing imposingly across the hall from his domain, seemingly trying to weed out the poor unfortunates that may wander into his trap of a classroom. When the door closes behind him after passing time, so did my means of escape.
Site the next day we spent most of the day in downtown San Diego just to sightsee. After we got
Just about everyone slept the rest of the night until morning. Once we woke up, the bus stopped. Bus drivers are required to stop the bus every four hours. We got off the bus and got ourselves some breakfast. Most of us went to McDonalds and the rest got whatever seemed good to them. We got back on the bus and drove another four hours. Even though the bus ride was long, we enjoyed ourselves the best we could. Our bus probably watched every movie we brought along
The Audubon Aquarium of the Americas houses thousands of aquatic animals, as well as sea otters and penguins. You can get up close and personal in the Caribbean Reef tunnel, which gives an underwater view of various creatures. You’ll also have the opportunity to see a white alligator, pet a shark, view seahorses and visit the Amazon rain forest exhibit featuring anaconda snakes, frogs and colorful birds.
We all woke up that morning early so we could get all packed and ready to go. We had to take two separate cars because of how many people we had to take. The car ride was eccentric and ready to jump out of the car and into the lake at any moment. Finally both of the cars made it to the destination, my parents and my friends parents both rented all of the things we could use for today. Throughout the whole day we used the water bikes, kayaks and paddleboards for how
I’d like to regale you with stories of the day and a photo-log of the happenings but honestly, it was a heads-down, do-nothing-but-pedal kind of day. We got started a half-hour earlier than usual (a 5:00 a.m. wake-up instead
The next day we went to Pleasant Lake we go there at 12 and we stayed there until about 4. My Uncle Chuck has a pontoon boat so we like to go tubing all day. The first time we went that day Chuck
As any other vacation day we all went to the beach to start. Then after that my younger siblings, whom at the time were three and five, wanted to go to the pool. We all went and stayed for a little while, then my mom and I went back to the beach to spend quality time together. It was very nice getting to spend some alone time with her until……
We also ate lunch and we had a lot of fun and I was really happy because it was our first day there and I really like going on vacation . When I was there I saw really pretty things like animals, trees and many other things. Also I had ice cream, pizza and many different things to eat that I love.
When we got to the airport our plane got delayed because of bad wind. We ended up staying at the airport overnight. Then we made it home and dropped our parents off at the funeral home.
It was the summer of 1977, and my father decided to pack the station wagon and drive from Fort Worth to Tampa, Florida. Besides my parents in the vehicle, my two sisters and brother also joined us for the long journey. I was young and excited and did not realize the distance my father would be driving on this trip. We made two stops on the way down and the first one was in Mississippi at a Holiday Inn. My first time spending the night the night at a hotel occurred on this vacation, and I was excited. We had adjoining rooms with my parents, and we spent the evening in the pool and watching television all night. I was never aware of my parents’ finances but I know now, we did not have a lot of money. From Mississippi, we stopped again in Tallahassee, Florida and we swam in the ocean during the afternoon and hit the hotel pool in the
