Summer Break of 2016 Have you wanted to travel almost all of the western US in a single summer? I did it in the summer of 2016 and it changed my perspective on the western U.S. When we got into Wyoming all I saw was rolling hills and plains. Nearby there were small groups of pronghorn eating the grass. In northern California, there were enormous redwoods, seals, and lots of rain. In San Francisco, there were lots of people and busy shops. In Arizona, the Grand Canyon was much bigger than I expected. My mom, dad, brother, sister, and I were getting prepared to head out. I was in my room packing. I couldn’t wait to get on the road, the trip was gonna be around 2000 miles. I was really eager to see the California part and see the cold Pacific

    We started our travels down in Columbus Ohio. The week leading up to the big move we spent at Deer Creek State park, for a family reunion, where my dad and step mom, had the chance to see everyone again, before the journey began. Over all we had taken nine days to get to our destination. First stop, Saint Louis, Missouri, we stopped to see the Gateway Arch. It was a lot bigger than I thought it would be, so of course I was pretty amazed. The first few days were our longest driving days, but sense we broke up the days, our longest day was eight hours. The second day was the worst, Oklahoma is so boring to drive through, and nothing but flat crop farms, and wind turbines everywhere you look. We drove till we got about seventy five miles from the boarder of New Mexico, And Oklahoma. We got up early and began a shorter dive to Albuquerque, New Mexico, where we went to Petroglyph National Monument, yeah it was interesting, but after you see a few hundred, they all start to look the same. The next morning we took a beautiful hike and took many pictures to capture the moment. Other than getting there, my favorite part of the trip, was Arizona, where we stayed four days in Flagstaff, one day in Holbrook, and one day in Phoenix. I wouldn’t mind if I lived in Arizona, it’s a very beautiful state. My family and I stopped by the Petrified Forest National Park, and I
