In this paper I will tell you about a vacation my family and I too before school was out for the summer. My family and I went to Colorado. The ride in the car wasn't fun, but when we got there it was fun and exciting!

I havent been to very many big cities in my existance, so bieng in Colarado was pretty crazy. I have a picture and in this picture my older sister Susanne, my younger sister Erin and I were in a photo booth at Six Flags. I am personaly not big on having my picture taken, but guess what I lived.

Six Flags is a great vacation spot especcialy when it is hot out, because they have a very cool water park. I have desisded that the big city isn't for me. I plan to move away from hotsprings, but not out of Montana.

Also in Colarado people drive like psycotic maniacs. The only plausible comparison is to that of Washington-ers driving abilities, or their lack there of. Mabye they are just in a hurry but still I would rather be safe then sorry. Plus the traffic in Colarado Springs is horrific, Denver traffic is the worst of all.

The real reason for our trip was to visit Marci my eldest sister. Another reason I don't like the trip to Colarado is the passing through of "the land of roadkill" also known as Wyoming. There was about 127 rabbits and 36 antelope at last tally.

In closing it was a great trip with a few speed bumps along the way.
