I love being in my car because it is like a second home for me. If you put a bed and food in it, I could live there. Every time I hop in the car I feel an adventure coming. When my family and I are going on a trip, it makes it ten times better. The thing that is better about my car, is that you can see the buildings passing by out the window. My car is a grey Toyota.
One time my Dad, Jane, and I went to Martha’s Vineyard. The trip was seven hours of sitting in the car, I loved it. When we got to the ferry terminal they said that our boat was not arriving until tomorrow. As much as I loved Martha’s Vineyard I also was happy that we got more time in the car.
If I could do anything again, I would do my spring break car trip. It might be the most fun thing I have ever done with my family. It was so long that I can not remember all the details but my favorite part was Nashville.
It was two in the afternoon and I just got back from Dollywood. We were headed for Nashville. It was a long and nice drive, when we finally got there it was about six o’clock southern time. We check into our hotel and were going to the grocery store. When we were in my car, we said we just wanted grapes. Although when we got there my dad said that we should get a little more food. So I went of to the chips section, but my mom did not let me have any. So I went with my dad down an aisle and something spotted my eye. It was a pack of Jell-O. I knew that I was not going to be able to get it but I had an idea. I left my dad saying “I am going to mom.” I turned the corner and waited. Later I got the Jell-O and said to dad, “ Mom said she waited this Jell-O.” pointing to the box in my hand. Dad said okay and my plan worked. When we got back I told them what I did. Fortunately I didn’t get in trouble. Getting lunch in Nashville is like saying, catch a wild boar in the middle of New York City. We drove in a bunch of circles for a while until we found this place that was supposed to be the best Nashville fried chicken, Hattie B’s hot chicken was the name. I had to stay in my car (I wanted to do that) and sit with my dog Walter. The final time was somewhere in between 3-4 hours. So I got to play ten games of Life and beat my high score in Flappy Bird. It was fun to look out the window at the block long line, it felt like I was at home until my dad got take out, and we got it in no time. We drove to a park, it was nice to see a new city with the building shorter than New York. I felt like I was at home, I wanted to stay in the car, but I was not allowed to so I came with them. The chicken was worth it when I took a bite out of my wing. I got level one for spice but I wish I got level three. I tried my Dad’s and when the spice went into my mouth, I felt like I ruled the world. I slurped up my lemonade and finished off my chicken. We got back into the car and drove back to our hotel. We relaxed for a while then went to dinner. My dad saw his friend that he hadn’t seen since college (his friend didn’t know it was my dad). After we went to the new Grand Ole Opry. It was from 7:00 – 8:30. At one point I got so bored that I fell asleep on my mom’s lap. My favorite part was the car ride there because, the driver finish every sentence with a song from his phone. The next day we set off for Memphis.
That was the best part of my spring break, but not the driving part. The last two days were non-stop driving back to New York from Alabama. I played a lot of Pocket Frogs, on the ipad, but mostly looked out the window. We stopped for food in a bunch of places, but my favorite was a place called Flora-Bama, on the border of Florida and Alabama. However cool my trip was, it was so much better driving.
