Traveling

I really want to go on a trip this summer. Last summer we went to Seattle. It was so much fun. My favorite times were with my mom and brother in the car on the way to Baker City or in the hotel, people watching from above. I also liked going on the pier and eating ice cream and shopping. The alki beach was fun as well. 

We also went to Las Vegas this summer and it was enjoyable. My grandpa lives in Mesquite and we went there to visit. We went to the rainforest cafe in the MGM hotel. We saw lions from the ceiling. Their paws were so cute. It was so cool. Then we went to the M&M world and Coke factory. We had a lot of fun shopping there. 

We went to Denver last month and it was alright. The drive was really scenic. My cousin had a MET competition and she didn't win, but we were still proud. The funnest thing about the Denver trip was being able to walk to the candy store with mom and andy. The weather was so nice and perfect. We also went to a really good pizza place and had a melt down about how we wanted to go home because of the stress of the dogs. We almost got kicked out of the hotel because the dogs were barking all night. We tried to take them to a doggie hotel, but their shots weren't updated. 

Since gas is so high, my mom doesn't think we will be able to go on a trip this year. But I don't think so. I think that we will be able to go somewhere close like the Grand Canyon or the Oregon Coast. 

There is a Switchfoot concert in Denver, my mom really, really wants to go, but is worried about the gas situation. I just hope that the gas goes down so that we can go. She is also stressed about Andy and the dogs. I hope that we can go soon. 

If you want to know about some really awesome songs, check out Switchfoot. They are one of the greatest bands known to man. My favorite song at the moment is Yesterdays. It talks about funerals and death. 

So if you read this blog I would really like to know what your favorite state is and what your best experience was in that state. My favorite state is Virginia, because I was born there. Coming in 2nd would have to be New York because my parents are from there. :)
