London

When I was about seven years old, my family went to London. I was so young and couldn't quite appreciate all the landmarks or art. If I could go back again I would. I thought that the trip would be a drag because there was almost nothing that interested me.

One of the days, my mother took both of my sisters shopping in Paris, while I stayed in London with my father. That day, my Dad and I went to this place called Sega World. It's basically the worlds largest arcade, towering over most of the other buildings. So I guess there is something for everyone in London.

Mexico


A few years ago, my family and I left Texas to go on a cruise through the Gulf of Mexico. At first I didn't notice the ship rocking back and forth, but once we started drinking it was bad news. After a few days, I finally grew my sea legs. In Mexico, there were plenty of activities.

Whether it was snorkeling, shopping, or just sitting on the beach, it was a great time. My favorite thing was zip-lining through the jungle with my sister. While we were doing that, the rest of my family went to a "petting" zoo where monkeys would just sit on your shoulder. If I had known there would be monkeys, I would have chosen that instead.

Park City, Utah


This winter break, I am going on a snowboarding getaway to Park City, Utah. I'll be leaving with one of my best friends, Chris, and his entire family. I've been snowboarding since I was in middle school, but never have I been to a place like this before. Park City is probably one of the most well known mountains to urban styled snowboarders, so it should be packed.
I love the rails and jumps, but the thing I'm looking forward to the most is the fresh powder. There's no feeling like it, but powder is hard to come by in New Jersey. Mountain Creek is where I usually reside, but with all the expenses of going to Utah, I shouldn't be there much this winter. I'm perfectly fine with that because Utah will be the trip of a lifetime.

Traveling


My family and I love to travel all over the world. We've been to London, The Cayman Islands, St. John, Spain, Mexico, Belize, Honduras, St. Martin, Turks and Caicos, Hawaii, and Canada. Traveling interests us because we love to see other people and their cultures. Mostly, we like to travel for the weather.

We will go anywhere that has the temperature of at least 75 degrees with a beach. I went to Madrid, Spain and ate the most phenomenal food I've ever ate. It's hard to believe that Hawaii is part of the United States of America with the weather and the different culture. Hawaii was great and the surf was even better.
