Have you ever been on a trip that you knew from the start it would be the best? I have been on many trips in my life, but one has stood out to me and I am sure you will understand why after you hear about it. The start of the day was just like any other, wake up, go to school, come home from school, but then the ned was different. I was in fourth grade and after dinner my parents surprised my brother and I with a trip to Alaska! It would be a cruise, the first ever cruise I would be on. When my mom and dad told me about this trip a smile popped on my face and I jumped a little as I mumbled, “Really”? My family was going to go on the cruise with my Grandpa, grammie, Aunt Alice and Uncle Jerry, these people were from my mom’s side of the family. …show more content…

Inside our room was a short bunk bed, for Jacob and I, a bed, for mom and dad, a tiny bathroom, with a small shower, sink and toilet, A dresser with drawers and A small T.V. and finally, a big door that opened up to a balcony outside. We walked around on the cruise ship, there were so many stores and rooms, I was afraid I would get lost. My mom took me to Camp carnival, which was where your kids could go during the day to meet other kids and do activities. There were lots of kids in the room, that looked around my age, there was a bathroom, a T.V. and a large area to play in. My mom signed me up, so I could go to Camp carnival tomorrow or any day if I wanted to. My brother and I explored all day until dinner time.

We had reservations for 6 at the sit down dinner place. Our whole family, mom, dad, Jacob, grandpa, grammie, Aunt Alice, Uncle Jerry and I, all sat at one table. Our reserved table was in the back so our view was of the white and blue ocean water being squirted up from the motor. After dinner my mom and dad went to the crowded casino and gave Jacob and I money to go play at the kids arcade.

The next day was already here. When we got off the cruise ship we got straight on a bus. After driving in the bus for what felt like forever we pulled up to a little store. As soon as the bus stopped I jumped out. The first thing I saw was dust, everywhere, in my face, mouth, and on my shoes. As the dust cloud cleared I saw what I wanted to see, the dogs. With a giant smile on my face, I jumped again and ran over to them! All the dogs were tied to a string and the dogs in the back were tied to what looked almost like a big sled. I picked the dog I liked best, just drugging it by it’s color and tail wagging, and stood next to it, begging for a picture. The workers told my family to get into the big sled. There were two rows, each row fitting two people. I was the first to get in with Jacob shortly after, so we sat in the front. Then my mom and dad sat in the row behind us. The dogs pulled us around on their practice track. The blue sky was only slightly showed as we curved around tall green trees and the I felt a big cold breeze against my arm. After what only felt like a couple of minutes we were already back at where we started. As a frown came on my face I thought It couldn’t be over already, could it but no wait
