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, don’t you remember?” My mother had put
the pancakes on my plate.
"Where's Dyson?" Dyson is my younger brother.
"Right over here, good 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. As we all walked in, Dyson and I walked like zombies. Once we got in our
pajamas, we fell fast asleep….
Day 2
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 morning Aria. How did 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 is soooo HOT!” my brother moaned as we walked out of the
hotel and into the car.
‘If it was that hot in Georgia, then I wonder how hot it is
in Florida,’ I thought to myself shading my eyes from the sun. We all got into
the car and my grandfather started driving. We were about 1 hour and 30 minutes
away from Florida. I got my doodle/sketch (whatever you call it) books out and
started drawing.
“Mom, are we there yet?” I asked, even though I knew the
answer to that silly question.
“No sweetie, in about thirty minutes,” she replied.
Payce was singing his version of a “song”
20 minutes later…
“Well, ladies…and gentleman… I present to you….FLORIDA!!!”
Payce whirled around to his mother and started chanting with her!
In about ten minutes later, we were there, at the hotel and
ready to unload!
I grabbed my belongings and one of my mom’s bags because she
had the baby and I was helping out…like I always do. We all got our stuff out
and went into the beautiful hotel.
