HAWAII

I have been to Hawaii with my family many times. Probably about 7 or 8 times we haven’t gone lately because it has been really expensive. The most fun part of going to Hawaii to me is the weather. The weather in Hawaii just makes you want to be happy, even when it rains the water is warm. The environment in Hawaii feels like everybody is in a good mood. I love walking on the beach when the sand is way to hot and you can barely stand on it. Snorkeling in Hawaii is an amazing thing to do. There are so many colorful fish in all different shapes and sizes. One time my dad took the left over bread that we had from the night before and went out snorkeling. I didn’t know what was going to happen. Then my dad gave me the bread to feed to the fish and right when I pulled out the bread a swarm of fish surrounded me. It was insane but it was a sight to see. The hotels in Hawaii or at least the ones that I have stayed at really make you feel like you are at home, which I really like. When I am older I would really like to move to Hawaii, maybe go to college there. If I can’t move there then I will for sure go back and visit. I have not been to all the islands but I have been to most. I would say my favorite island would have to Maui. Maui has such beautiful scenery’s. I can remember along time ago my parents and I went on a hike. There was this tree that was HUGE. It looked like the trunk of the tree was made out of giant vines. I think on this hike we went to go see a water fall. But I might be getting confused with another hike I went on. But the waterfall that I am thinking of seems like it was straight out of a movie; it was so amazing to be there and see. On the end of the hike we went down this hill that had so many guava trees. And they were very delicious too. One of the coolest parts of being in Hawaii is seeing all the geckos running around.

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.
