My Summer Vacation

:

My Summer Vacation

The best part of my summer was when I went to Anchorage with my parents, sister and brother. When we got to the hotel where we stayed I saw this cool game called" Pit Fighter." I asked my dad for a quarter and I played the game. It was pretty cool, then we went to our room and I asked my dad for a dollar and I got a can of pop. When I went back I asked if we could go to the mall. My mom said it's late and we went to Carrs and bought some food. Then we went to our room where I asked my dad for a dollar, and he gave me ten dollars. He said to give some of the money to my brother and sister. Then I teased them about it on the way to the lounge, saying I wouldn't give them any. Then my sister said she would tell, so I said O.K., I'll give you kids some. After that, I went to the front desk and got change and I played a couple games, and after that I got a can of pop in the pop machine and went over to our room and started watching T.V. My mom and dad ordered hamburgers and french fries while my brother and I watched the movie. Then we got our burger and fries. After the movie I went to bed. When got up my brother was watching cartoons. Then me, my sister, brother and dad went to the Steak House where we ate breakfast. When we got back my mom was still sleeping so we went to the mall and looked around. When got we got back my mom was awake.

For the last six or seven days we went to every mall in Anchorage. On the fourth day my parents brought my brother to the ANS hospital. After 3 or 4 hours waiting in the hospital, my sister and my dad and I went to the 5th Avenue mall.

During our last three days in Anchorage we went to every mall there and bought lots of things. Then on the fifth day we went home.
