Personal Narrative: My Trip To Lake Tahoe

Alaska is one of two states not connected to the U.S. mainland. A lot of people don’t get the opportunity to visit Alaska because they believe it is either too far away, too cold, or too undeveloped. People think that is a place where you have to hunt, fish, or catch your food because there are no Walmarts or Targets. My trip destroyed my belief that it was an unexplored land with no opportunity for development, but on the contrary, it has a lot of potential and is already a great place to visit. Throughout my trip I visited Denali National Park, went on a Holland America cruise, and went to Seattle.

My trip to the Grand Canyon was the best experience I ever had so far in my life. My grandparents from Korea came along with us. Even though I saw them last year it was still an enjoyable moment that I had. Grand Canyon is located in Arizona so what our family did was fly to Las Vegas early in the morning and arrive in Nevada around 9 o’clock am. Driving to Grand Canyon was also five hours with heavy traffic. Driving and stopping every hour was hard to do but at the end it was all worth it. It was good that I had couple electronic devices and my family to keep me in company.

I also wrote about "Once More to the Lake", but I enjoy long descriptive sentences. When you read your chosen sentence, did it give you a feeling or, bring you back to a moment in your past? When I read that sentence, it brings me back to laying on the beach smelling the the salty air and listening to the

One summer day in July , Me and my friend Carol went to an amusement park called Cedar Point . Cedar Point is located in Sandusky , Ohio and two and a half hours away . My mom and me wanted to go on a ride called the Maverick . The Maverick is Cedar Point’s steepest roller coaster and its speed is 70 miles per hour . The Maverick also has a 95 degree drop ! Then we went in line and waited for about an hour and a half . It was about eleven o'clock when we got close to the front of the line . When we finally got to the roller coaster I regretted going on because it was very dark and I couldn't see where the drop was and I don’t like steep roller coasters . Because of that me and Carol where panicking the whole way up . As soon as we got to the

The conditions were perfect three feet of fluffy white gold, the groomers were out grooming the trails so they were flat and fast. Although every real snowmobiler knows the fun starts once you leave the hard pack and get into the deep snow that is untouched. So that is exactly what I did. The group and I are were coming through a large field with what we call rollers. Rollers are large snow drifts that form like waves and have the same shape as one. We were coming through and I was busting through the powder but I looked up ahead and there was on drift that was way bigger than the rest. So I went full throttle Larry Enticer style and sent my snowmobile flying through the air, I must have been 10-15 feet in the air minimum. Once I came down i landed hard and my snowmobile sunk deep into the snow like a golfer when he lays a ball up on the green, the snowmobile just stuck there. I came in hot and once the sled stuck in place I was trying to keep my forward motion but with there being such a large change in speed I flipped over the handlebars. As i was laying there completely stunned I look back and see my brother coming over a smaller drift heading right for me. He was traveling too close to me and he smacked right into the back of my snowmobile. I was beyond livid I got up as fast as I could so when he hit me I didn't get run over by my own snowmobile. I got up looked and saw that My brother hit me so hard he had smashed his snowmobile in between the tunnel and the track of my brand new snowmobile. Everyone came back to make sure that we were okay which thankfully we both were and to try and dislodge his snowmobile from mine. After a few tries we got them unstuck from each other and checked the sleds to make sure they were rideable, which they both were. From there we put on another 20-30 miles and then we stopped for dinner at the Candle Light. Then we road back to the trailer and home with only

o you remember the first time you broke your arm or leg? Or have had a brother or sister broke a bone? It was cold outside. With just a few inches of snow on the ground to go sledding. So my step sisters and I were bored and thought it would be fun to go sledding. So we grabbed three sleds and headed outside, to a hill we have in the back yard. Then because the hill the the back yard got boring, we went to the front yard and pulled each other around on the sleds.

It was a normal day I got home and my mom was there. “She told me are you ready?” “I said for what?” She exclaimed “You’re going to Norris Lake!” I was super excited because I was going with my friend from my soccer team Trey. I got packed as fast I can and they picked me up. The only problem was it was 101 degrees and a 8 hour drive. About halfway to the lake we stop at a restaurant and get food. We went to Wendys. After that we would drive and get gas and about 10 minutes before we get there we stop at Walmart and get food for the entire week.

I used to be the type of person that needed my life planned out; I needed a routine or a schedule. I was going on an amazing trip to Catalina Island with my closest friends. We had a plan; take a bus to LA and get on a boat that would take us to Catalina from there. When we arrived to LA the weather was so bad we couldn't get on the boat. We had to wait until the next day. Having to go off schedule we ended up making more memories, we went to a huge aquarium and spent the night on a boat. After that trip I realized things happen and you need to be willing to make the best of things or you will not have the opportunity for new experiences.

Once we arrived at the mountain, I can remember feeling nothing but joy, not because I couldn't wait to go sledding, but because for 40 straight minutes we had to Indore my friend Sophia's older brother Danny yell "are we there yet", over and over and over, you would think that an 11-year-old would be more mature than that, but then again we were talking about the boy who spends his days playing video games in his dad's basement. As we stepped out of the car we all put our snow gear on, and headed up the mountain, caring are sleds behind us. The mountain was quite steep and it seemed with every step higher we got the more bone chilling it became but at least we have a magnificent 360 view of the glistening snow covered mountains. We were about

Their house was on a large hill, so the driveway had a long downhill slope, making it extremely icy in the winter weather. This wasn’t the best for driving, but it was absolutely fantastic for sledding. Every year that the driveway iced over, Lauri’s parents would get out the sleds. Lauri and her siblings invited a couple of their friends over to sled down the massive hill, and that’s where my sister and I came in. We all took turns going down the hill, and afterwards we were driven back up to the top by Lauri’s dad with his truck or by her oldest brother in his four-wheeler. One year, Lauri’s older brother connected a sled to the back of his four-wheeler with a rope and towed me and Lauri around the snow-covered yard. We made sure to shield our faces with scarves to protect them from the stinging cold winds, but our sled wiped out into snow piles a couple of times when he took turns too

“Are we there yet are we there yet?” My brother screamed into my ear. I turned around half awake and quickly said “no”. For some reason I was completely freezing and I looked out my window and saw snow. Finally the little cogs in my brain started turning and I realized that I was in Lake Tahoe. My family takes a trip to Lake Tahoe every winter and we were almost there. My brother turning five this year it would probably be the first trip he remembers. What seemed like an eternity later we finally arrived at our hotel. Just like every 10 year old I was pretending to be asleep when we arrived so my dad would carry me into our room. Unfortunately it was about -100000 degrees and I was only wearing a pair of pants and short sleeves. My dad was carrying me for so long I actually fell asleep and then awoke the next day.

I can’t believe that it is finally July 27, 2018! My mom and I are going to Las Vegas to see the Backstreet Boys in concert. My mom and I can’t wait to get to the Airport. It would be our first time going to Las Vegas. Our plane was to leave from Gerald R. Ford International Airport at 9:00 AM.

I woke up and was excited to go skiing with Porter and Brigham and Cannon. We were in Utah going to go to Snow Basin. The night before, we skied a lot and did rails. I had a ton of fun and got ready really early so we could ski longer. We drove to the resort and got our stuff out. We went on a run before Logan, Landon and Luke got there. It was very icy and scary to ski, so I took it slow the first run. When we got to the bottom, we caught up with Logan, Landon and Luke. We all rode up in a gondola. We got off and went to the terrain park to practice rails. I was doing good, and knowing me I started tucking the long gaps between the different parks. We had just gone through the last park, and I tucked the groomer to the bottom. One of my Logan’s

For all my life, I had known Justin. In 2008, when I was 7, we decided to go up to his family’s cabin in Tahoe. My experiences there were the most memorable of anything in my life, and I wish I could relive it. The earliest thing I remember was sitting in the back of his dad’s Ford, and driving in the middle of the night. We had so many blankets, we could barely even fit in the back. I remember that we were listening to the beatles on an iPod he had. This wasn’t one of the new ones though, this was the old 3rd generation iPod, with the FireWire connector and the glowing orange buttons. After 6 hours of driving, most of which were spent sleeping, we finally arrived.

Here we go we all where in are starting positions. “Three, two, one” Emily shouted. We all went racing down one by one. I was in second, I was so focused on being first That I didn't see the tree in front of me. Until Riley screamed “ LOOK OUT”. My first reaction was to put my hands in the snow and since the snow was jagged at the bottom of the hill It hurt so bad. I was a couple of feet away from the tree. Next I came to a ruff stop. Once I came to a stop all I could feel was pain in my hand a nose. Then Riley,Emily, and my aunt came running to me. They asked me if i was ok and i said yes. At that instant they told me that they told me my nose was bleeding. I also noticed my nose was bleeding. So we had to go home. But it wasn't that bad because we were kinda done sledding any way, and we also got to have hot
