Happy and Sad Times

After an eleven hour drive to Denver from El Paso and an eleven hour nap, my dad, my mom, and I went to see the rest of downtown Denver, Colorado. The downtown area is HUGE and CLEAN, there are skyscrapers everywhere! El Paso’s downtown is NOTHING compared to Denver’s, okay let’s cut the chit-chat and start on our little adventure, shall we?

“Oh, my God!” my mom said as she saw the little Johnny Rockets (a restaurant with a specialty of burgers). We were about to go straight to Hot Topic (a music store), when… sccccrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeech! went the brakes of my dad’s car.

“Dad, why are we turning back?” I asked.

“I’m not just going to say ‘bye-bye’ to our most favorite restaurant in the whole world!” he responded.

We paid for parking and ran to it! The burgers were the best, the patty was juicy, the lettuce was fresh, and best of all the fries had cheese!

We had finally left and were on our way to Hot Topic. Over-there I bought some rock band shirts. That was the best place I’ve ever been to. I recommend that you go sometime, just don’t drive.

In Los Angeles, California there’s this amusement park called Knotts Berry Farm. It’s not a real farm, but it’s supposed to be an old fashioned park with roller-coasters. It’s fun and a lot like Disneyland, but instead a lot of things are made of wood except for some roller-coasters when my family and I went we didn’t know what to do first because it was so enormous! Finally we decided the first thing we went to were the roller-coasters our first ride was ghost rider. It was fast, but bumpy,I loved it but my parents got a head ache and my mom usually likes rides. Next we went to the golden bullet it was awesome, because it had two loops and when you get to the end you go backwards and through the loops again. Finally we went to big foot rapids, we got socked! We even went under a water fall. “Ahhhhh!” we screamed as we went under the waterfall. Lastly we went to shops . The shops were awesome! They had slingshots, ancient flutes and other ancient stuff. Well, that was the end of our trip to Knotts Berry Farm but later I’ll tell you more about my trip to California.
