Cheerful California

Thanksgiving break is a wonderful holiday. You just be thankful for what you have, and you get a lot of time to do so. Last Thanksgiving break, I got to meet my second cousin who lives in Australia. What we did together was worth a lot of thanking.

It took a lot of traveling to get together. My cousin came to California, and my family and I flew to California. It took earplugs, many packs of gum, and mind exercises  to overcome boredom to get there safely. We stayed in Los Angeles. It was super cool. Unlike Hesston, all the things were big and beautiful. Not everything, though. Somethings were hideously sad. Either way, we had a lot of fun there that was crammed into three days. It was kind of hectic, but at least we never got bored that much.

The first place we went to was Disneyland. It was seriously amazing! They had all these amazing rides and the castle was surprisingly different from the pictures. It sparkled in the sun, and was lit up during the night. At the end of the day, there was this beautiful firework show related to some Disney
movie songs. Everything was in such a rush that I don't remember every amazing detail, but I do remember that we saw places dedicated to each movie with characters from them too. Sadly, we only had one day there, so we didn't get to do a lot of things.

The next day, we went to Universal Studios. We didn't see a movie in the making, but we saw how and what they used when they make a movie. Then we saw the amusement park park. It had Harry Potter, Minions, Transformers, and a lot of other big hits. Like Disneyland, though, we only had one day, so we explored very little of this incredible paradise. It was definitely worth going to.

On the last day we spent in California, we went shopping. It was endless malls, manikins, and money. Absolutely boring. The next day, we went to Arkansas, where we chilled with my cousins. It involved a lot of running, laughing and playing. This vacation was amazing!
