Hi guys, now I know I may not be known for big stories, but I think what I wrote here is good, it started off as a Writing project, but then turned into a huge story. And I was putting a lot of effort into it, so I decided to share it with the forums. But just incase you may get confused during the story, this is an accurate reinvention of my vacation to Disney world. Enjoy! Prologue I was sitting at my computer, browsing the JerryAndHarry forums like I did every day, but i knew i wouldn't be here tomorrow, tomorrow we would all be driving on the road, gazing at the tree covered mountains of Tennesee, And trust me, that's just the beginning of the vacation I'd be on tomorrow. I didn't know my mom was in the room untill she tapped my shoulder, I took my headphones off. "Quinton, Riley, Ady, I need your help packing clothes." Our mom Charlotte said. Oh, and I almost forgot, you need an introduction to my family. Quinton is my big brother, Adysen is my little sister (Yeah, I'm in the middle, it's not easy.) Charlotte is my mom, and Scott is my dad. Now, where was I? Ugh, do I really have to pack now? It's only, -I looked at the clock on the corner of my computer screen- 5:13 PM. "Yeah, but you're gonna have to go to sleep earlier than usual, we're waking you up really early tomorrow." Charlotte said. I thought about that, if I went to sleep late I wouldn't have a fun time waking up. "Okay, Fine." I said. But once I was done packing my clothes for the trip, I decided I'd go to sleep early, since I'd wake up at 5:30 AM tomorrow. The next morning I had woken up earlier than my alarm clock had planned. I sat up with my eyes still heavy, but eventually made my way down my ladder. I had just gotten some clothes on when my alarm clock went off and made me jump so high my foot nearly landed in one of my Lego boxes. "About time." I said to my self as i walked over to the alarm clock, turned it off and went downstairs. I walked across the through the loft outside of my room and looked down at our living room below to see everyone already awake. Dad was walking through the living room holding a neck pillow, and our dog Jake was following him. Quinton was sitting on the couch with his headphones on, and mom was trying to talk to him, Adysen tapping her shoulder as if she wanted something, which i figured she probably did. And our cat El wood was laying down on the floor. "Good morning." I said. Dad turned and said hi. Quinton suddenly took off his headphones and said hi, which I found weird since he could hear me, but not mom, who had taken her oppurtunity to tell him to help dad, Adysen turned toward me and yelled "Hug!" Jake stopped following dad and ran toward me with his tail wagging, and El wood woke up and trotted off into the dining room. "Bye El wood!" i said with the same high voice I always talked to family pets with, I didn't know why, i just did. "So what time are we gonna be on the road?" I asked. "Hmm." dad hesitated, probably trying to estimate when. "Probably by 6:00 or 6:30 AM." Dad said. "Are grandma and grandpa gonna be staying at the same hotel as us?" I asked. "Yeah, they sure are." Dad said. "No riley, when you're done with that cereal can you help us with the suitcases?" Dad asked. "Sure." I replied, and opened the cabinet in the kitchen, looking at the wide selection of cereal, then a red cereal box caught my eye. Is that what i think it is? I thought. I pulled out the box and- Yes! Froot loops! Then got a Bowl, spoon and milk, and eventually wolfed down all of my cereal. Then I had gotten my iPod and Headphones and helped haul suitcases from our house to our car in the driveway, and me and Quinton were now sitting in the car, waiting for the last of the suitcases. I was looking out the window, watching the sun rise, and i remembered something. "What time is it?" I asked Quinton. he turned on his iPod and looked at his screen. "6:35, why?" Quinton asked. I was just about to get out of the car and tell dad we were running late when I saw him, my mom, and Adysen walking out of the garage with a large green suitcase, which, if I remembered correctly, was all of their stuff. Dad went to the back of the car and opened the trunk while mom and Adysen got in the car with me and Quinton, "Is that the last suitcase?" I asked, practically jumping with joy. "Yep, and once dad puts that in the trunk then we're gonna be on the road." Mom smiled. I heard a thump that told me the trunk had been shut, then dad hopped into the drivers seat, he started the car, but before backing out of the driveway he looked back at us, "Kids?" He said. Yeah, what is it?" We all said in unison. "We're going to Disney world." So that is the beginning of my journey! I hope you enjoyed. And tell me if you think I should make another one of these.
There will be a delay for the 2nd chapter. I'm nearly done with chapter 2, but my computer broke, so I won't be able to post the next chapter until my computer is fixed.
Sorry for the huge delay... and the bump...... and the double post, oh god.. But I am done with the entire chapter one but this is not it, this is a part of it, now the reason i didn't put the entire chapter on this post is because it's super long, too much charectors, but this is the first part of chapter 1, Enjoy! Chapter 1. The Journey Begins. I was watching the houses of our neighborhood go by, the houses that I saw every day. We had just pulled out of the driveway, and we were now driving through the neighborhood, toward the bigger streets. I was sure excited about the trip long before it happened, but now, watching the city go by, knowing that the next stop certainly wouldn't be in Kansas city, in fact it would be in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the halfway point until Orlando, I finally felt truly confident until my mom gasped. "I Forgot my purse!" I sighed. "Really mom, really?" We turned into a QuickTrip gas station and turned around back toward our house to retrieve mom's purse After mom's missing purse mishap, we had gotten back on the road, and we were now on the highway, "It's gonna be a while until we see this again." I said, looking out the window. "Yeah, but we're gonna see some stuff that is a lot cooler." Dad said. "True" I replied. A few minutes later, we were officially in the Urban core, this was by far my favorite part of the city. We entered it on a highway that ran in the middle of a small valley. I looked at the rocks of the small cliff next to the highway and thought for a while. "I just realized something." I said. "What's that?" Dad asked. "The cliff next to the highway is kind of like a Mini Tennessee." I replied. Quinton let out a small laugh. "Ha, you're right." After a bit more driving, the Skyline of Kansas city came into view, Normally there wasn't anything special about the Kansas city skyline, Just another major city that no one really pays attention to. But to me it seemed beautiful, especially in the morning, when the early sun reflected off the glass buildings, And then the highway turned into a maze of roads, we took one that went below all the other ones, and into a tunnel, We were now under the city, for now. After we passed the city, we went through the suburban area, and soon we were driving through the country of Missouri If you think the country is beautiful, you're wrong, unless you find endless cornfields, abandoned farms, and lots of billboards beautiful. "Better than western Kansas though, right?" I said. "Yep." Quinton replied. "But still boring." After a bit (okay, a lot) of boring countryside, I finally heard some good news since we left. "We're stopping at a restaurant for breakfast." Dad announced. "Do you know what restaurant we're eating at?" I asked. "This place called The Cracker Barrel, I think, and grandma and grandpa are going to be eating there with us." dad said. “Yay.” I said calmly. “Really!?” Adysen said. Quinton pulled off his headphones and said “What?” Then I thought about something. “Wait, is it gonna be in St. Louis?” I asked. “No, its gonna be in Columbia, St. Louis is still two hours away” Dad said. After about fifteen more minutes of driving, we got off of the highway and drove on a smaller road, until we drove into a parking lot and stopped. “We’re He-e-ere!” Dad announced. “At the hotel already?” Adysen asked. “No, Ady we’re eating breakfast with grandma and grandpa.” I replied. “Oh right, I forgot.” Adysen said. We piled out of the car, walked into the restaurant and ate breakfast. Breakfast at the Cracker Barrel was great, to say the least, but the only thing I got was pancakes, I don’t know what everyone else thought. “See you guys at Chattonooga!” our grandpa Jerry shouted from across the parking lot, we all said out goodbyes and piled back into the car. “Next stop will be our hotel.”
Here's This is part 2 of chapter 1! Now I'm sorry if this is particular chapter is a bit boring, but this is supposed to be an accurate depiction of my actual Vacation to disney world, as said in my first post, but before i get to carried away, here's part 2 of chapter 1! Another 2 hours of driving and it was obvious we were in St. Louis, because why would a small town have huge office complexes, busy freeways, and not to mention an over six hundred foot high arch. When downtown St. Louis came into view, that seemed to be the first thing that caught everyone’s eye, except for Adysen, who was still watching SpongeBob on the TV in our car. Quinton got out his iPod and started taking photo’s, I got out my iPod and started taking a video. “Ady look!” I pointed to the Arch, which made the other Skyscrapers look like small houses next to the high landmark. There are all sorts of larger landmarks around the world in America alone, Anyway… “What is it?” Adysen asked. “The Arch!” I pointed out the window again. “What? What arch- Oh wow!” She looked up at the shining structure as we were now driving right past it. Then we turned onto a bridge that went across the Mississippi River, which meant we were now in Illinois. Before we left for our vacation, I thought driving through Missouri would be the most boring part, And I’d know because every year we take a 5 hour drive through Missouri to this place called Current river, and driving there is boring, to say the least, but I hadn’t been to Illinois yet, It’s like the Missouri countryside, but worse. “So which is worse?” I asked Quinton, who was doing the best he could not to fall asleep. “Western Kansas? Or this?” He looked up from his iPod and out the window. “Hmm, probably this actually.” he said. “And Why is that?” I asked. “Because Kansas was actually cool at some parts, like the green hills after Topeka, and there were a lot dust devil's (small tornadoes made up of dust.) in western Kansas, and not to mention that huge wind power plant we passed.” he said. And then I thought about that for a few seconds. “So the overall conclusion is, Kansas has green hills, the wind power plant, and dust devils.” I said. “and Illinois has, well...” I looked out the window just to see another farmhouse. “Nothing.” I said. “Exactly.” Quinton replied. After more driving, we got off the highway. “Where are we going?” I asked. “We're gonna eat at McDonald's for lunch.” Dad said. After we ate lunch at McDonald's I was so bored I started looking at the clouds, and eventually fell asleep. “Hey, Riley.” A voice interrupted. I opened one eye. “What is it?” I asked. Quinton simply gestured to the window. “I looked out the window to see, well, water. “Where is this?” I asked. “Ohio river.” He said. “I paid more attention to our surroundings outside of our car and I realized it actually was a river, just really wide That is one big river.” I said In awe. Then dad spoke up, “after we cross this river we'll be in Kentucky.” At first I wasn't that excited, just crossing into yet another state, then I realized something. “Hey guys.” I said. Dad said “Hm?” and mom looked back at me from the the passenger seat, but Ady was sleeping, and Quinton couldn't hear us through his headphones. “If we're crossing the state line of Kentucky, then that means that we're halfway to Chattanooga.” and after we spenc the night there, then it's a drive straight to our hotel at Disney world.
