this was part of a prompt i was doing..it may seem boring becuase this isn't done either(i started like 5 stories and never finished it)..but hope you enjoy anyways :)

Day 1:

My name is Annika Miller and I am 13 years old. I live in a small villiage in Zambia. No im not Zambian,I’m acutally American. Correction:No By American standards im NOT American,I was born in Hong Kong.But I’m white and everything. My parents are missionarys for our church,That I’ve never been too,Back in New york. I have a older brother named Kyle,he’s 19 and he was born in Rome,Italy, and a little sister named Clair,shes 7 and was born in New york. I’ve been to America maybe 2 times? We have been in Zambia for one year. It’s hot and sticky here,I wish we could move but dad said not anytime soon. I gotta go to dinner call(I’ll tell you about that later!)

--Annika

Day 2:

So I guess I will start off and tell you about Dinner call. At 5 every evening we eat dinner,Not anything fancy,Just food. My friend,Belle,and I went to climb the hills behind the villiage. It was the weirdest thing,we got up about half way up and it started pouring..although that itsn’t the werid part..we saw a man staring at us..so werid! I was drenched and my boots stuck in the mud back at the villiage. Mom was really mad that I ruined my brand new boots. Dad just gave me one of those stern preaches. Kyle and I went picking fruits in the villiage garden. Kyle didn’t say much..he felt bad I got in trouble considering he lost his boots a week ago and have yet to tell anyone.

….

Random short story-not done-

I sat in the back of the familys small little White van,lisening to dad go on and on about the familys history. I was on my way to Aunt Milli,shes really mu great aunt. She lived 2 hours from the biggest city,St.Louis,which is quite a fre hours from our home in Miami Florida.

“Son,our names connor has been in the family since your great grandpa!...” My dad said as he trailed off into random family facts about how our family has been living in Aunt milli’s house since before the civil war. We drove along a bumpy gravel road intertwining with trees. My dad braked and yelled in a cheerful voice,”We’re here!”

I stepped out,My Blue backpack hanged on my shoulder. The house was creepy looking,Large plants along the porch,chipped paint. It looked like it was haunted.

“My goodness! Look at you connor!.” I Herd a old lady cry. It was my aunt milli. I hugged her quickly,then she left with my luggage. My dad bent down to my level,and said in a soft voice. “Now son,be good this summer,as soon as we get to Germany we will call you okay?”

Tears stung my eyes,”Dad,mom! Don’t leaveee!” I cried.

“Connor,you could have went to Camp Mohawk this summer but you said no.” My mom said. It was true,I could have went but I didn’t want to deal with Paul one of the kids there. He always made fun of me cause I was chubbier then everyone else.

I cried and ran into the dark,cool house. I went into a random room,which looked like a office. I slouched against the door and cried. Suddenly,a book probably my age popped up behind a bookcase.

“Who are YOU?” he asked.

“Wha-huh? I..I’m Connor.” I stammerd.

“Hiya connor. Your aunt millie told me about you coming. I’m Josh! She took me in a few months ago after my parents split and left for England.”

A dream come trueee!

We are back!! The trip was just amazing from start to finish so lest start at the begining of the trip :)


DAY ONE:Day started bright and early at 3:00 AM! we were all very anxious to get to the Limo and get on the plane. The limo arrived and we drove in style :) It was a long day with secruity lines and the flight but we got to Dulles about 6:30 on the road at 7(rental car.) We got lost on the way To DC,of course XD haha. We checked in and guess what? We were treated like VIP! like they were expecting us and everything. :D We then went and attempted to find somewhere to eat found a subway and called it a night.


DAY TWO:Our day started early by WALKING to Madame Tussaud's musuem..such a long walk in the humid weather they have.We then went to Ford's theater. Such a amazing site,so Earie though. Lunch involed Hard Rock,and we watched Taylor's Opening band,Hunter Hays,Perform. Our Mid-Atlantic Wish person met us at the Hotel to drive us in the Limo to Clyde's for a early dinner. They were really good! We then walked to Verizon..yes more walking this time wasn't as much XD We had some Major issues with tickets that wasn't so Major afterwards but it cut our meet and greet short and just the fact we were with contest winner -_____________- BUT! We met Taylor Swift! She was reallllly cool,and totally nice. It was short,but amazing. She is super cool too! We then watched the concert and let me say! SHE is AMAZING,okay i'm sure you knew that but her concerts are just SO cool. Then we drove back to the hotel after the exciting night :D

DAY THREE:I'm getting tired so this is short and sweet and will be more dtaild but it involve..walking in the capitol mall getting soaked and Arlington..
TO BE CONTINUED!

Continued:So we started our morning by going to Arlington..that was quite the adventure. It was SUPER humid that day so we were all hot but it was just crazy being there. We saw JFK's Grave,The tomb of the unknown Soldier, and Misc. graves and memorials. After that we Drove to Maryland for lunch at Bugaboo creek. They were pretty good(totally forgot what i got o.o) We were gonna go to American History Museum but we ran out of time. So we wnt to out hotel and rested untill like 6 when we left to go to Captiol Mall. It was really cool being there and then it started pouring! haha it was actually nice though becuase it was really humid before. Then we got straned with No cab to go home in and i was starting to feel sick so that was interesting(we needed a Van cab which is not exactly easy to get)..like a hour later we got one though and went back to the hotel to pack and shower!

DAY 4:this is short..last day long flight..lost baggage..ya know the usual ;) haha we did get Anna's carseat back(went on wrong plane in LAX go figure:P )

And das ist alles!

It was really amazing trip,It was just SO cool to be in DC and i love it there..even if it is humid. ;)
