To Tennessee
By: Elizabeth Schmeling
My family and I were on our usual trip to Tennessee by car. We were in the car, almost 4 hours into the 11-12 hour car ride. For the last couple hours, I had been listening to music. Since our entire family was in the car, David was being really annoying, and he was bothering everyone. I found that it works best to simply ignore him by reading, even if you have to read the same sentence over 5 times because he’s so loud. Finally, we arrive at my grandparent’s house. Because we had been sitting for 11-12 hours, everyone’s legs were sore. Quickly, we put our bags away in the rooms we would be sleeping in. Then we talked with Grandma and Grandpa for almost half an hour about everything that had happened to us in the last 5 months since we had seen them last. The next day, it was off to Dollywood. That’s right; we were in the car again for another 2 hours. Once we arrived, we walked around the park, and we looked in shops. Finally, it was time for my favorite part, the roller coasters. My grandpa, David, and me went on the Mystery Mine, our favorite roller coaster, 3 times in a row. Lucky for us, we got the front row every time. After we had stayed at my grandparent's house a few more days, it was time to leave again. It was time for the long trip home.
