I absolutely love to travel and this summer I went to California for the first time. My two best Mary and Kaylie and I decided that we all wanted to o on a trip together after graduation so we decided to go to San Diego. I was really excited to go but as our trip grew closer I became nervous because I don’t like airplanes and I’ve never been on a plane without my parents before but the plane trip ended up being very smooth and quick.
Our vacation ended up being the best vacation I’ve ever went on. The weather was perfect the whole time that we were there. We went to the beach almost every day which was great because I love the ocean. We also did a lot of shopping. We went to Fashion Valley Mall which was a huge outdoor mall that had tons of stores that I have never even heard of before. It also had lots of stores by top designers that I can’t find around home, so that was a lot of fun.
While we were in San Diego, the Padres were playing the Cubs. My friends and I are all huge Cubs fans so we bought tickets and went to one of the games. Petco Park ended up being really nice and the game was a good one. On our last day in San Diego we went to the San Diego Zoo. The zoo was cool because we were able to get really close to all of the animals. We even got see Panda bears which was cool because none of us have ever seen them before.
Once it was time to go home, none of us wanted to go. We loved our trip so much and we didn’t want to go back to Illinois. Even worse our plane ended up being delayed because of bad weather in Chicago. It turned out that the whole time we were gone there was bad thunderstorms at home, but luckily we missed them. There was a little turbulence on the ride home which was kind of scary so I was really glad to get off of the plane. Even though I didn’t enjoy the plane ride, I can’t wait to go back to California again.
