Utah 2019

      Our family and friends were finally able to go on a vacation. We could not  travel because we had harsh winter but, the winter went away and now we could travel.  We went to Utah to see three National Parks.

     We started on Wednesday to a hotel in Mesquite. The hotel was Holiday Inn. The hotel had a swimming pool and a water park. We all had a lot of fun at the pool and water park. Sadly after a few minutes, we had to leave to eat dinner. We ate at an Italian restaurant. The food there was very good. They had good pasta and amazing bread. The pasta was very hot and the bread had a lot of garlic and was very crispy. After we had dinner we came back to the hotel and went to sleep. 

      The next day we woke up very early to get started to Capitol reef National Park. We had a good breakfast at the hotel. I had bread and muffins. After everyone ate, all the kids wanted to go to the gym. We exercised for some time to get ready for the hikes we will do later. Subsequently we left the hotel and me and Kapish played Mario kart in my car. When we reached Capitol Reef National Park we did the Junior Ranger Program and went on a little hike. After we left Capitol Reef, me, Rushil, Kapish, Nihitha, and Aditya played Mario Kart all the way to the vacation house we booked in Moab.

 We had a lot of fun that evening in the vacation house. All the kids wanted to play Fortinite on my nintendo switch. We played until dinner time. We had a fun time playing and we all took turns. While other kids were taking turns, Abhay showed me this funny video where a man pronounced the NBA Players’ names incorrectly. It was very funny. Later we had to stop playing games and eat dinner. Dinner was delicious. There was crispy potato fry and dhal with chips. We slept early because the next day we had to go to two National Parks. 

            On Friday we ate breakfast and left to Arches National Park. There was a huge line of cars trying to enter the park. Me and Nanna got bored so we jumped off the car and walked to the visitor center. It was worth jumping off the car and walking to visitor center instead of waiting in line. We got the things we needed at the visitor center such as the junior ranger books. Me and Nanna waited until Amma showed up.  Soon after Amma came with the car we left for the hiking spot. Afterwards we got to the trail and we hiked up to the Delicate Arch. The hike was very long and dangerous. There was a lot of wind at the arch and there were many slippery rocks to climb but, the hike was worth it. Soon we left the trail and started towards Canyonlands National Park. There we hiked up to the Whale Rock. At the top of the rock, Joshi Uncle wanted us to meditate. All the kids made funny noises to make other people laugh. After Joshi Uncle gave up we hiked back down to our car. We returned to the house and played Mario Kart until dinner time. Dinner was pasta. After we had pasta we went to bed.

        Everyone was pretty upset to go home the next day but we had to because we had school or work. In the morning me and my friends played on the hammock outside the house. Abhay and Kapish came in our car and we watched Tom & Jerry episodes and Despicable Me 2. Later Kapish’s family and Abhay’s family left to Los Angeles while our family stayed back in Las Vegas to watch the show Mystere. The show was spectacular. I liked the characters Einstein and the Red Man, they were both funny! The show also had acrobats, which seemed impossible to do. For example, one of the performers carried one man with only one hand. After the show, we left Las Vegas to home. Me and Nihitha slept while our parents drove. 

In conclusion, we had a pretty fun and exciting trip but next time I plan on staying longer.
