College Road Trip To USC By: aflack8

I thought my road trip to South Californa would be boring but it was'nt. Listen to my story about my family and I going South Californa. We traveled for many hours before we made our first stop. When we finley stoped we were in Indianapolis Indiana. My parents had surprised us by bringing our skate boards and taking us to th Major Talor Skate Park. This park was built in 1999 and is 15,300 square feet of cement and rails for grinding. Awesome! I love to skate board so this was great after sitting for hours. Then as I came up out of the bowl and there was the legend himself, Tony Hawk. No way I said whats the bird man doing in Indiana ? He said he was here to visit his sick grandma. He showed Caleb and I some cool moves. The sun went down and it was time to hit the road. It was almost morning and we ended up in Kentucky. My dad said he had a stop to make. He did'nt want to tell us what we were doing today, it was another surprise. We ended up at a horse track called Churchill Downs. Caleb and I thought this was going to be BORING! My dad loves horses so we did'nt complain too much. When it was all over my dad had bet money on a winning race horse named Sonic Flash. Man was he fast, fast enough to win us $50,000.00 .We took our money and ran. We were almost to South Carolina but we had one more stop my mom said. My mom loves camping so we stopped in Knoxwille Tennessee to visit the Great Smoky Mountains. We had a great day of canoing, hiking, and bike riding. It was another long ,tiring day but it was really fun. Oh I almost forgot we left our lunch on the picnic table and when we came back from bike riding there was a bear eating our food. Caleb was not happy, because he loves food. The ranger came and delt with the bear. It turns out the local zoo was looking for BoBo the Bear and we recieved another $50,000.00 for a reward. We were ready to get on the road. We finally get to South Californa. We toured the college and set up to stay at the college dorm rooms for the night. All of the campus staff were very nice. The college was also clean, my mom said. We had breakfast at the cafeteia, it tasted like school food. I decided this was'nt the right college for me. It was too far from home. We drove stright home we were so tired from our great adventure. At least we made some money on this trip.
