Florida

The summer after I was in 11th grade, I was in marching band for the school and every year when it's over you go on a trip, and that was the year they were going to Florida and I went with. We took a bus and it was the longest ride I had ever been on. We made stops on the way and got to see different states. When we got there, we got to go to MGM and Disney World. We also got to go to the ocean and the hotel we stayed in was a really nice one. I was gone for about a week and it was beautiful and warm and the ocean was amazing.

Halloween

I have pictures, which is probably another reason I remember it. Either way, it was fun.
