2008 christmas

The last blog that I wrote about was about my Christmas in 2004 but I want to write about my Christmas last year when I went to Tahoe, Nevada. For this trip I went with my family and for the first time my friend went with us. We had to drive to Tahoe which was a slightly long car ride, about four hours. We stayed at a place called Harris which was a hotel and a casino. Our hotel room was really, nice it had two bathrooms. I thought that was really cool. The first full day the weather was nice so we went down the road to Virginia City. It is like an old western town that has shops and restaurants’ to look at. When we got back to the hotel it was later in the day so my friend and I went to play in the snow out side of the hotel. We had a snow ball fight, made a huge snow ball and one night we bought a plastic sled and made a ramp out of snow . By the end my toes were frozen. Since we were there for a week my friend and I started to get bored, so we went to the arcade every night until 2 or 3 in the morning. We must have spent at least $50 each on video games. It was really fun because my parent let us wonder around freely. One time we went to a small shop that was in the hotel. We must have been in there for an hour trying on really weird hats.

One day my dad took us snowboarding it was a good experience except when my friend took the wrong path and we could not find him. Luckily, he got back to the hotel safely. One night we went to this real fancy restaurant and we had escargot which is one of my favorite things to eat. I remember this one day we went outside and there was a blizzard you could even see 10 feet in front of you. It was crazy.

This trip was probably the most fun I had on a vacation just because I had someone there with me to hang out with. I cannot wait for this years’ vacation when I go to Las Vegas with my family and the same friend. I have a feeling that its going to be even better.
