California. Yeahh Buddy!

This summer, my family went on a week long vacation. We went to California. On the morning of June 4, we were up by 3:30 in the morning and we were on the road by 4:00. Our drive was about two hours long and we finally got to Omaha at about 6:15. Our flight didn't fly out until 8:30. I was so mad. While we waited we went and got some breakfast and then we just sat there waiting. We went with some family friends and one of them was in my grade so I figured the plane ride wouldn't be so bad. Finally 8:30 came and we were able to get on the plane. I was really nervous because I had never flown before and I didn't know what it was going to be like. I was really scared of my ears popping because that's what everyone told me happened, but throughout the whole plane ride, my ears didn't pop once. We had to switch planes in Arizona and from there we flew out to California. As soon as we were off the plane and had all of our luggage, we went to get a rental car and were off to the hotel. Our first day we didn't really do much because we just wanted to relax. We just sat by the pool area and hung out. The next day my mom and my friends mom were running a half marathon in the morning, so our activities didn't start until later on that day. When we finally got to do something, we went to the safari. It was actually really cool. The next day we went to Sea World and we got to watch the dolphin show. That was one of the best parts. I never would've thought dolphins could do the things they did. There were a few rides and it was kind of cold that day so the wet rides were not fun at all. On Tuesday we went to Disney World and it was so much fun. The walking around wasn't very fun, but once we got onto the rides, the waiting and walking didn't seem so bad. On Wednesday we went to Universal Studios in Hollywood and personally that was my favorite day. We went on the ride "The Haunted Hotel" and it was so fun. Thursday and Friday we were back at Disney Land and my family got to see some family members that live in California that we don't see very often. On Friday night right before we left we watched the water colors show in Disney Land and the colors showed scenes from The Little Mermaid, Lion King, and many other cartoons. The next night when I finally got home, I was relieved to finally be home, but I wanted to go back to California so bad. That trip was a memory I'll never forget.
