Personal Narrative: My Trip To Scottsdale Arizona

When ever you’re traveling, you dont really have an adventure if you dont try new things and go to new places then youre not having an adventure. I am going to share some of my favorite activities that I have tried when I went traveling

We also had the chance to do some shopping before leaving and to me, that was the highlight of my trip. The Nashville mall was so big it man little Augusta, Ga mall look like a broom closet. In the mall I stopped at a shoe store, where I bought some sandals I had been wanting for the longest but could never find in the mall at home. The trip was very rewarding to me because I got a chance to spend quality time with a part of my family that I only get the chance to see during the Holidays. The trip brought a lifetime of memories that I will never forget. We ended our trip with a birthday celebration for my two nieces whose birthdays were a few days apart. The colorful pink party for the girls included; crown shaped cake, ice-cream, and lots of smiles from the two birthday girls. Furthermore, the three-day trip was over and it was back to the hotel to pack for the drive home. The drive home needless to say was not very exciting. I would have loved to stay in Nashville visiting my aunt for a few more days I was happy to be home. My family does not get together that often, we are a happy family but we also have our differences like any other

Compared to most days, it was pretty pleasant out. Porsha, my best friend, was over at my house for the day. Like most times when we hung out,  we needed something to do. There wasn't really much to do in Lake Havasu, Arizona. Both of us enjoy spending a lot of time outside, you can tell by our tan skin. Swimming was the best thing to do as it was so blazing hot here, but I did not have a pool.

Scottsdale is where I grew up. It’s where I dressed up and had tea parties with my little brothers. It’s where Hannah Montana taught me how to sing and where Troy Bolton gave me unrealistic expectations of how boys would act in high school. It’s where my two best friends and I decided that we were all going to go to the same college and then we would move into houses that were right next door to each other. We were going to be best friends until the day we die. It’s where I spent the summers swimming and constantly looking like a lobster. Scottsdale is where I fell in love reading thanks to Harry Potter, Tris Prior, and America Singer. It’s where Deal Night was the only thing on my mind and I could not wait to stay up until 3am playing Wii bowling with my whole family. It’s where I learned how to bake with my mom and my brothers. It’s where the sun shines all the time which lead me to get a third degree sunburn while on a Boy Scout camping trip. It’s where I became claustrophobic because of long division at Catalina Island. It’s where my room was covered from floor to ceiling in One Direction posters and where I danced all night to the best song ever.

Ever since I found out my softball team could make it to California for Nationals I knew this would be our goal for the summer. Now here is where the challenging part came in, we only had three chances to make it to California. We made it, we were lucky enough to make our goal in the third chance.

My story began on September 12, 2000, in Phoenix, Arizona. I was born to my mother, a faithful member of the gospel, and my father, an alcoholic. These two traits did not function well together and they ended up getting a divorce in 2001. This would start a new chapter that took my mother, three sisters and I to Elko, Nevada. Nearby was the reservation of my Native American (NA) tribe, the Western Shoshone. My NA heritage came from my father, so when he left my life, he took the culture with him. My grandmother did all she could to include me in the tribe by making me traditional NA items such as moccasins and shawls.

Hidden away in Lake Powell, Arizona, is Lone Rock Canyon, a blue diamond in the desert. Go on a paddle boarding adventure, and experience beautiful contrasts of stark desert rocks and crystal blue water. Along the way, step on the shores for a hike, watch the bighorn sheep and enjoy the breathtaking views. After a dip in the cool clear water, you will head home feeling amazed by your memorable

When people would talk about deja vu all i could say was lies. I didn't really think that was true and it was something that couldn't happen. Until it actually happened and i was in total shock. When i used to hear people talk about all I could say that was crazy that it was just your mind. I could exactly remember everything that has happened and until now i am in total shock about it.

After snorkeling we went back to the hotel and finished the night off in a warm Jacuzzi reminiscing about all the adventures we had on this trip. I think my favorite experience was snorkeling but soon the snorkeling gear began to chafe at my skin which will make an uncomfortable plane ride home. I can't believe we have to be up at 9:00 in the morning to catch our plane home. I had such an amazing time visiting The National Park of American Samoa and I will never forget the great experience I had

Waking up at midnight on a cloudy monday night, I walked outside and looked at the moon. Look at how far I have come. Living in hillbilly hick Iowa, to traveling all over the world. Listening to my mother has been one of the greatest things I have ever done. Without her I would have stayed in Iowa and probably married a ugly overweight farmer. Graduating from highschool I decided that I was going to go straight to college and get my masters in Biological Anthropology. Since I already had 20 credits completed at Iowa Central, I decided to stay for one more year. The money I would save would go into my traveling “fund”. Planning on living with my mother still, to me was not a bad decision. She fed me, clothed me, and loved me even though I can

A week before spring break my dad proposed that we go to Las Vegas. So that following Tuesday we boarded a red eye out of Dallas, Texas and headed to the city of entertainment. First, we checked into the New York-New York Hotel & Casino. As we walked throughout the hotel I was in sensory overload: there were lights flashing, people yelling, and cigarettes burning. From then on I identified Las Vegas as a fascinating place.

It was a hot summer day in Arizona me and my cousin were outside playing football when his dog Jack managed to open the backyard gate and get out.When we noticed we ask everyone in the house if they had seen him everyone in the house gave us the same depressing answer we were afraid of they said no so the first thing we did was open the front gate and take off using our feet and try to catch Jack.The first place we saw jack was in between a street called E.Jefferson as soon as my cousin saw him he bolted to try to catch him but he got cut off by the passing traffic jack also bolted and ran into the alley we used the fact that jack was in the alley to our advantage we ran him into a corner and trapped him,but jack was quicker and ran right through

The green of the plants and the blue of mountain and sky are cool colors, and they show the coolness of the environment. It’s a little ironic that the man-made buildings are all warm colors (yellow, orange, red, brown), which emphasizes that Tucson is a desert and it does become hot during the summer. Although this is the case, the photo make the environment look like one that people would want to be outside in! The use of light makes Tucson look bright, but not so bright that it conveys hotness or heat. The lines in this photo are also interesting, as they are all straight except for the slight angle that they’re at the camera-man. The most emphasized part of this is the highway, which cuts across the photo at a diagonal angle. This emphasizes the contrasting landscapes even

The hospitality was first class! We stayed at the Desert Sands Resort. This is where I met Julie, a member of the staff where

I am the youngest cousin on my mom’s side of the family. Older than me there are two boys, not including my brother, and six girls. Since there aren’t very many of us, I am very close with all of them, but I have always been extra close with one of my oldest girl cousins Michelle. I am about fifteen years younger than Michelle, but she always somehow knew how to include me in everything the “big kids” were doing when I was younger. When I found out she was getting married, I was so incredibly excited. Not only did this mean a trip to Arizona for ten year old me, but also a big party with all my family. So after saying all this you can only imagine my excitement when she asked me to be a Junior Bridesmaid in her wedding. I was ten and she was
