Disney Land
I saw the snow blowing around when I
looked outside my bedroom window. I did NOT want to go outside but, today was
going to be a miracle. I made my bed up and went downstairs to the kitchen.
"Good morning," I said yawning.
"Hi Aria," my mom had just
flipped a pancake, "So, are you ready to go?
"Go where?"
"Disney Land!” My mother had
put the pancakes on my plate.
"Where's Dyson?" Dyson is
my younger brother.
"Right over here. Morning
Aria!"
Dyson was lying down on the couch so
that I couldn't see him. I soon spotted my baby brother, Payce. He was
about a foot, maybe even less, from the TV. I took one look at their clothes;
they were still in their pajamas.
"We'll be leaving in about 20
minutes. You should get your clothes on. I'll get Payce," she walked over,
got Payce and took him to his room.
I went to my beautiful room and got
my clothes on. I wore pants because I didn't want to be cold while we were
still in Michigan. My hair was braided at the time so I pulled it to the side.
I looked in my mirror and saw myself. I went down the wooden steps and went to
Payce's room. It had been painted yellow and his banner had little monkeys on
it. --My mom pulled his red polo on over his head and stood him on the floor.
"Boo!" I turned around
"Nice try, Dyson" Dyson
giggled a little. My mom came out of Payce's room, we were ready to go. Ding
dong! My mom and Payce rushed to the door.
"Hey!" My mom waved. She
opened the door for them as they stepped in. Dyson and I got our bags from
upstairs in our rooms. I had my duffel bag and my other bag ready to go. Dyson
had a Mario bag while my mom and Payce had two blue bags. We got in the car. It
was black and big! We rented a car with seven seats because our normal car only
had five. We loaded up the trunk and got all the snacks for the ride. It was
going to take us about two days to get there but, I was going to enjoy ALL of
it!
We all got settled in the car. After
all, we were going to be stuck in that death trap for hours!
We soon started driving off our
drive way. I was going to miss our house. Well, for the week we'd be gone.
Day 1
It was slightly cloudy as we drove
by all of the snow. We had a mini-TV in the car. It was probably as small
as an iPad mini... Maybe even smaller! The three movies we brought were Shrek,
Astro Boy and The Letter Factory. The Letter Factory was for Payce and Shrek
and Astro Boy were for us. My mom, my grandma and grandpa were just talking
away!
We had been driving for hours now
but it felt like forever! I remembered my bag had stuff in it! I grabbed my
pink bag, unzipped it and took out my book. Not like a reading book, but a
sketch book. Dyson was on our moms computer, playing Mine-craft while Payce was
sleeping, like a little angle! I started doodling cupcakes and sweets.
It was now noon. It did not seem that we were
driving for maybe 11 or 12 hours. I asked Dyson if I could go on the computer
(wouldn't you?) and at first he said a simple, "no"
I had to ask him over and over to
get him to finally hand over that thing! So, I finally got to go on. I was
wondering what to do but then, it hit me. I knew what I could do! First, I got
a picture of a cartoon tiger. Then I traced it. I really liked it but, it took
a very long time!
We suddenly stopped at a gas
station.
“Mom,” I asked, “why are we
stopping?”
“Dyson needs to use the bathroom”
she replied, “we all should try too so when we get back on the road, we won’t
need any stops for now,”
So the first people to get out were
Dyson, Papi and Mimi (That’s what we call our grandparents). When they got
back, my mom and I got out and inside the gas station. Payce was asleep so, we
didn’t have to worry about bringing him in. That would’ve been hard! Anyway,
after we took a pit stop, we got back on the road. Time goes by when you’re
having fun. Right? Well, not for this car! I was so bored.
It was now like maybe 10:15 we were
now in Tennessee driving into Georgia. It was very late so we stopped at a
hotel. Dyson and Papi slept in the living room while I my mom and Mimi slept in
the actual (and bigger) room.
Day 2
Shhhhhhhhh. The shower was running.
I slowly got up. My mom was putting her hair up as My grandmother was taking a
shower.
“Hey Mom…,” I said almost falling
back asleep.
“Good mornin’ Aria. How’d you
sleep?”
“Great…well, I’m trying to keep
myself from falling over. Other than that, I’m fine,”
“Okay. But, get your clothes on for
hot weather!” I didn’t know what she meant by that but I did as we soon stepped
outside.
“It’s soooo HOT!” my brother moaned
as we walked out of the hotel and into the car.
