The last four days I went on a camping trip. We went with another family with 3 people (1 adult, two children) We had 6 people. The first day we went to Las Vegas. Normally, when we go to Las Vegas we go early (around 9:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M.) The drive from where we live takes 4 hrs in ideal circumstances and 5-7 hrs with traffic. Once we arrived at 2 pm. This time however, we took off at 5:00 P.M. and with the traffic we arrived around midnight. On the ride it was a fight until my sisters fell asleep. We slept at the Stratosphere Hotel. We went to the top of the hotel ( maybe) the tower is said to be 871 feet up from floor 108 the observation deck and a bit higher is 109 the roof assess deck with telescopes and 2 thrill rides. One where a roller coaster goes at high speed across a see-saw ramp. Another is an extreme version of a spinning seat ride which is very high up. Another on a higher floor where people ride up and down at almost double the height of the original floor. My dad tended to figure out how things worked by looking at it as he did with the Sky diving thrill ride. We didn't want to go on any of the rides. (well, my sister wasn't too scared) We slept at 1:30 A.M. and woke up at 6:15 A.M. We also played with the luxury jacuzzi.
At 7 we went on the car. This trip was from Las Vegas, NV to Page, AZ. We went from I-15 to cross Arizona and Utah border respectively. We then transferred to highway 9 at St. George and US 89-A at Hurricane. We crossed the border a couple times before transferring to US 89 (the GPS called it 89 loop for some reason) after that we crossed the border to UT again. Then back to AZ at the Colorado river bridge. We took a tour of the Upper Antelope Canyon which had many cool takeable photos because cameras distorted distance and light. We slept at Wahweap Campsite. I played chess with my friend and I lost the first game and drawed on the second with a neat trick.
We then left and drove to Antelope Canyon Marina. We rented a boat that could seat 10 people. I learned how to drive a boat and swim with a lifejacket. We looked at the view and swam from time to time.We also played chess we were tied at the end of the day.We camped at a very spiky area with very uncomfortable conditions. The next day we hiked at Rainbow natural bridge national monument. I learned much about it. We then played chess he beat me 2-1. So he won one game more than me in the total course of the vacation. After returning the boat we told jokes and ate at Burger King before sleeping at home at 2 am.
