One time, about 5 years ago, my mom took my friends and I on a trip to Disney World. “Aahh!” I yawn as I wake up in the morning.  A few minutes later, my mom said  “Let’s go to Disney World with your friends because all your siblings have gone places with their friends but you haven’t.” So on that day, we begged our friends, the Freemans, to go to Disney World with us and they said yes to going. We were going next week on Friday and staying for a week! I was so eager to go on the rides. I jumped up and down and up and down!  Once it was Friday morning at 4:00 am, we got on the plane to Disney World.  

We arrived at 7 am and we saw an alligator at a pond near the airport. Then, it walked toward us, we backed up, and it stayed.  Finally  we got in our rental car and drove to our hotel in Disney. We arrived at 8:00 am and settled in at an inn in Disney World. We showered and watched some tv and at 9:00, we went to meet our friends .

First, we went on the Pirates of the Caribbean. I was so thrilled when we first got on the ride that I screamed “woohoo!”  Before we got on the ride, one of the Freemans said they were too scared to go on the ride so they were going to wait for us while my mom and I were on the ride. Then,when I got on the ride it smelled like fresh water.  I saw pirates and a mountain of gold coins and jewels. For a minute, I was a little scared, but I thought it was kind of funny. Later we got lunch at a bakery and got sweets, after which we went on some other rides.  Finally, at night we went back to the hotel and got ready for bed.

The next morning, we slept in late because we had a big day the day before. When we actually got up, we went to the door of the Freemans hotel room, and knocked on the door. It was time for breakfast. Eventually the Freemans got out of their hotel room and we were on our way.  Later after breakfast, we went on our first rides of the day. The first ride we went on was Avatar. We had to wait for 1 hour and 30 minutes in a very long line. When we finally got on the ride, I was very excited. By lunch time, we were very tired and by the end of the day, we went back to the hotel for bed. 

Finally, we had to go home but I didn’t want to.  I wished to stay but that did not work so I gave up. So I packed up my things, and got ready to go. When we got to the airport, I was a little sad but I was a little happy to be going home. I couldn’t wait to go back to Disney World again!

Do you like beautiful sights, art, and monuments? If so, Paris is the place for you.  In my opinion, Paris, France is one of the best places to visit for your vacation. It has many amazing monuments, you can buy lots of awesome souvenirs, and there are lots of great places to take photos. 

Firstly, Paris has amazing monuments, like the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower is the most well known monument in Paris. The Eiffel Tower was supposed to be a temporary installation, intended to stand for 20 years, after being built for the 1889 World Fair. According to https://www.toureiffel.paris/, it took 2 years, 2 months, and 5 days to build.  That is amazing, considering they did not have modern tools. Looking at the monument, you can imagine how hard people worked to create the beautiful sight. The Sainte Chapelle is one of many pretty monuments from Paris. The Sainte Chapelle is a church with beautiful stained glass windows.  If you ever visit Paris you should visit the Sainte Chappelle because it has beautiful architecture, such as a dome ceiling and it’s very tall. One of my favorite things to do would be re-imagining the monuments and drawing them.

Next, you can buy lots of awesome souvenirs in Paris.  Souvenirs include snow globes, music boxes, and keychains. One example is, my mom bought my little sister a plastic snow globe and it was beautiful. Plastic snow globes are easier to transport because they are made out of plastic. We brought it on many trips and have made lots of memories with it. You can also collect fallen parts of monuments, like a shard of glass from the Sainte Chappelle or a scrap of metal from the Eiffel Tower. Other things you can buy are clothes. According to https://www.encyclopedia.com/fashion/, Paris is the land of fashion! You can buy clothes at different stores including Christian Dior and Yves Saint Laurent.

Lastly, there are lots of beautiful places to take photos. This is important because photos are things you can look at from the past, you can use them for Christmas cards, or any type of card.  For example, you can take pictures at the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, and the Sainte Chapelle. These places are beautiful day or night. For example, during the day, the Eiffel Tower casts a beautiful shadow, and in the night it is lit up.  I’ve never been there but my mom has. She said it looked like the Eiffel Tower was made out of sparkly, shiny gold. Cool right?! For the Sainte Chappelle, during the day, you can watch the light shine through the stained glass. During the night it is closed, but you can still look at it from the outside. The Arc De Triomphe has beautiful statues and there is a road underneath so you can drive under it.

Paris is one of the best places for your vacation. Some people say that Paris is too expensive. However, it’s worth the memories and fun you have when you’re there. Paris is the prime place for your vacation because it has many amazing monuments, you can buy lots of awesome souvenirs, and there are lots of beautiful places to take photos.
