Best Vacations I’ve Ever Taken

I have not taken a lot of vacations, but the top 5 vacations I have taken were to Six Flags Magic Mountain, Disneyland when I was 5, Disney's California Adventure, Santa Monica Beach, and my many trips to Mexico.

 

Number 5: Six Flags.

Well I have been to Six Flags Magic Mountain twice in my life, and I LOVED it.

The first time I went was in June 2007, for my 8^th grade Graduation. I have to admit, I did not get on any roller coasters, because I was very scared of them, so I mostly went on Roaring Rapids, Log Jammers, and Tidal Wave (All the Water Ones haha). I was going to get on The Revolution with Veronica, Luis, and Esteban, but I ended up going to Roaring Rapids with Cecilia, Juan, Claudia, and Brittney. Well after we got bored, we decided to go to Superman, and while we were on the line, I was thinking on just waiting for my friends to go on the ride and get on the ride, but since I was causing a big scene right there, and having all those people telling me to get on and not be scared, (Brittney also got mad haha) I ended up just getting on the ride, and turns out, I LOVED it! We went on again and again haha.

The second time I went(with the FFA), I was going to get on Tatsu with my friends Raul, Claudia, and Brittney, but when I got to the ride, I chickened out, and I just waited for everyone to go once and get off. I felt bad for not going on with them, so I waited for the next ride, and I got onto Riddler's Revenge, and while it was going up on the hill, I felt so scared, I just wanted to get off, but once I felt the thrill of the first loop, I loved it. I wanted to get on, but we were on a tight schedule, so we went onto Viper and onto The Revolution, at last, I had no fear of Roller Coasters!!!!

Number 4: Disneyland.

I first went to Disneyland when I was 5. I don't remember much, but I remember that we had a lot of trouble getting to the theme park, because there was some roadwork on the freeway, and I was so sad, because I thought that I was never going to see Donald Duck. But then my dad asked some ladies that were having a Yard Sale, and thanks to them, we finally got there. I remember that when I got on Space Mountain, I actually thought that I flew into space (how childish haha). And also, I remember when we were first entering the park; I thought that it would sprawl on forever. I wanted to go to the Cinderella Castle because it looked so grand and majestic. Ever since that day, I have wanted to live there.

Number 3: Disney's California Adventure.

The first time I went to DCA, I was in seventh grade, and we had just gotten through our AYP and STAR testing. It was a great way to relax after our hard work, and boy was I right. We got on so many rides, including my favorite one, "Twilight Zone: Tower of Terror." That ride is bases on the movie of the same name. I remember being so scared, especially when the elevator got to the top, and we went down so fast, we got lifted off our seats.

Number 2: Santa Monica Beach.

We went to Santa Monica Beach in July 2001, and I absolutely loved it there. I remember looking for shells, and for sand crabs. I remember taking one home in a Gerber jar (it died that night though). I remember going onto the Santa Monica Pier and watching the sunset with my mom and dad and my little brothers. We were so happy that day. We were going to go again in September, but because of the September 11 attacks, we didn't go, because my mom was afraid to public places. But other than that, I think it was a marvelous trip.

Number 1: Mexico.

I love going to Mexico for trips. I enjoy spending time with my family over there. We always do retarded things, but we have so much fun. Last summer in June, we went and we did so many things, we went river swimming, we ate Pitayas, which is a native fruit only to a small area in the state of Zacatecas, and we also went shopping in Villa Hidalgo, were you can get a lot of expensive clothes for very cheap prices, because there are many clothing factories there, including factories that make things like Lacoste, Louis Vuitton, and many other brands. I have so many memories on my several trips to Mexico. I remember the time my mom got stung by a scorpion, and was paralyzed for a week. And also the time were me and my cousins' roasted marshmallows at my grandma's house. I Love Mexico!
