Los Angeles day 3

On the third day my family didn't have too much in the schedule so we had a relaxing day on the beach. We drove to a beach called Huntington Beach. It was really fun.

The first thing I did was to build a sand castle. I built it on dry sand far away from the sea. Then I went closer to the waves and collected lots of shells to put inside my sand castle.

My sand castle was like a big mountain of sand, but it was hollow inside. After I finished with the first wall, I started on my second wall. When I was just finishing my third wall, A big wave came and just washed away the 2 of the walls. After that, I made my first wall really big and thick, so thick that when I punched the wall, it did not break. When I finished with my 1st wall, I made my second.

This time I really thought my wall was invincible. So I took a break to go to the bathroom. When I came back guess what? The 2 outer walls broke down again! It seemed like the waves only struck my castle when I'm either not ready or gone. I gave up trying to fix the castle over and over.

This time I went further to the waves where I picked up shells. I picked up many colored shells, small ones and big. My sister was really funny because when the waves got into her imaginary circle of 15 feet, she would run away as fast as she could. We played for three hours until we could play no more. Finally, we drove back to our hotel.

Los Angeles day 2

On the second day my family drove to Sea World. It was really fun to go there. I will tell you about this amazing trip.

The first thing I did was watch the Shamu show. My mom told me a pretty funny thing about the killer whales. Every time they whales did a trick, they ate some fish. Those whales were huge!

The next thing we did was to watch the sea lions and otters. The show was really funny and the sea lions were awesome! 2 otters swam with a ball on their nose. Next the went to a bamboo stick and the the ball into the air, catching the ball on the other side of the bamboo.

I wanted to go to the shark place, so we went there the was an underwater tube so we could see the fish from beneath it. The largest shark they had was not very large.

My favorite ride was a ride called the Shipwreck Rapids. That one makes you get completely soaked though. You ride in a little round boat. Then you go down in a huge rapid so the waves go all over and into the ship. Since nobody was doing the ride, I did it 3 times in a row.

I had a really fun day at Sea world, it was one of the best places I have ever been to!

Los Angeles Day 1

Last Saturday at 7:00 I started my trip to Los Angeles. On the way the my sister and I played some games. We drove for 2 hours and then stopped at a gas station and all went to the bathroom.

When we got to Los Angeles my dad drove to the hotel and went straight to the bed I sat on the bed and watched TV. We came with another family. Since they were not tired they went to look at the ship Queen Mary that ship fought in world war 2. When we got up the told us that you had to pay a lot to get in the ship.

That night my family went to eat a Chinese restraunt. It was pretty good. Every morning, no matter how much I ate last night, I wake up hungry. Very, Very hungry!That day was fun but I didn't sleep well the first day. I was to excited thinking about tomorrow.

Review of Camp Shoreline

Camp Shoreline is a good camp because you can row boats, kayaks, sailboats, and paddle boats.

The only thing I do not like is the goose poop. Every foot there is a disgusting glob of white and green poop. In the morning when I go the grass field there are flocks of Canadian geese pooping and eating grass. That is the annoying problem.

You need to bring Bags but since the ground is covered in goose poo its hard to find a good space to put your bag.The place where you put your bags is not as much covered in goose poo so it is easier to walk around.

On Monday the 7-8 year olds go paddle boating for about 30 minutes. Then they Go in the art tent to Make things. On Wednesday They make tie die shirts. But on Thursday it is cowboy day all the students dress up as a cowboy or cowgirl.

Kayaking is really fun. One thing I learned was capsizing. Capsizing is when you flip a one man kayak upside down with you in it. Once I tried it I kept on doing it because it was really fun. On Friday Bring your water gun and water clothes because the campers go on paddle boats and have a water war. But beware you get super super soaked. All the campers were completely covered in saltwater after the water war.

My cruise the next day.

On the fifth day of my cruise, I went to Juneau pronounced Juno Alaskans capital city. Amazingly , the biggest city is anchorage not Juneau. At Juneau I went to a salmon hatchery. in the salmon hatchery the tank was filled filled with salmon the salmon were actually leaping out of the water! There my family and I bought salmon jerky and saw salmon eggs. I saw a huge king crab at first I thought it was a rock but then I saw it move. There was a hands on tank where you can touch king crab, sea cucumber and all kinds of things . We went out of the hatchery and drove to a giant glacier. There I climbed lots off tall rocks and many pictures that was the end of our day in Juneau

My Cruise to Alaska

My cruise was the best 10 day cruise ever! When I looked at the ship it looked like a city on water! The first day on the cruise was only a half day so I did nothing much except for swimming and relaxing in the hot tubs the cruise had. The nest day was proper day you had to dress up and get your pictures taken. That day I went to the restraunt that I had to go every day. In the restraunt my family and I had our own private table! first you appetizers, then soups or salads, main course, and desert. For the appetizers I almost all ways got fruit. I also liked the artisan cheeses with walnut bread and grapes. My ships company was the princess cruises. The ships name was Sea princess. On deck 14 there is a all you can eat buffet. There I eat so much food I eat five plates full of food ever time I go to the buffet. On the the 3 day of the cruise we went to Victoria, Canada and my mom and my friends family then we agreed to go on a limo tour around the city. In the limo there were glass cups and wine also there were light on the roof that changed color. He gave us a tour and explained why the buildings in Victoria looked so much like San Fran. He told us that all the materialist and the people that built the buildings were from San Fran ! On the road there were a lot of horse carriages. there even was a Chinatown! Then we went to the Buchart gardens and the limo driver said he would be back in 2 hours. At 4:00 we went to the restraunt called the Travita. In the Travita who had your own waiters and all kinds of food. For one thing the menu changes everyday. They have everything you can imagine. They have lobsters and king prawn, chicken, smoothies, clam chowder, salads, spaghetti, everything. On the fourth day it was a day at the sea but after my mom watched a show 9:00 the sun was still up ! It was just setting ! In my state room I got on the bunk and started watching Alvin and the chipmunks the squeakul. The movie was pretty funny and Alvin and his brothers went to school there Alvin sang a lot of songs. Then my family went to sleep and it was a whole new day tomorrow.
