The Christmas Fountain in Dallas

By Hailey

One day we chose to go to a park. It was unique because it was on top of a highway. We stayed in the city for a whole day, and later that day we saw a fountain show. There were kids playing in the fountain! After a whole 30-minute fountain show we asked our mom if we could dance in the fountain, and she said yes. As our vacation came to an end, we finally did it. It was fun! We played and we played and played some more it was one of the best times in Dallas! And at the beginning I got drenched because of this thick water spinning in circles. The water was very cold, and I think part of that reason is because it was 74 degrees out, but it was worth it. Max Brooke and Alisa and I loved it. the only sound you can hear was either the water splashing everywhere or the awesome Christmas music. The first half of the show my shirt wasn’t wet. The second half my shirt was drenched. Guess why. Max was splashing me a lot. I know the show was only 30 minutes long, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t still a blast!

Hollywood

By Hailey

We were in Hollywood for 1 day and while we were there we went to Hollywood walk of fame, wax museum, Guinness world records museum, and we heard and saw protesters. We also saw the Hollywood sign then we went to Rodeo Drive and tried to have lunch at Beverly Hills Hotel but there was a rule no shorts after 4:00 it was 3:45 and Max and Dad were wearing shorts, but they could only take us at 4:00 at the pool so we left and didn’t eat lunch. At Rodeo Drive we saw 5 Lamborghinis, 8 Mercedes, and 6 Maclaren’s. Then me, Brooke, and Mom went to Chanel but couldn’t get in because you need an appointment to get in. Soon after we hungrily went to dinner at Spago’s and it was the best restaurant I’ve ever been to. Zagat restaurant by my rating. We got to go behind the scenes because we went in the kitchen to meet the chefs and pastry chefs after dinner, we got a lot of deserts and a surprise cookie. After Spago’s we went to the Griffith observatory and looked at Saturn and it was crystal clear.

Dillon Beach

By Hailey

Dillon beach is where my parents got engaged and started a new family. So, mom told us about her CRAZY day. First my dad woke my mom at about 5:00am for a sunrise hot air balloon ride and then a really long bike ride and got home at 4:00 or so. Once they were done Dad told Mom to get ready for dinner. Once she was ready, they started walking to the car. Before they got in, a limo pulled up and the driver said, “are you coming or what?” then they got in. My Mom had NO idea what Dad was planning. There was a deep fog, but the driver was careful and successfully brought them to the beach. Once they were there the driver made them mojitos. Then Dad brought Mom to a huge boulder and got down on one knee and asked, “will you marry me?” then mom clearly said, “YES!” the end… and that’s why we went.

deep in love with each other
