What we did in Reno,Nevada

When we got off the plain we went strait to the Grand Sierra Resort.
This hotel is awesome it serves meals at any time of the day. And it includes attractions like shows and other things. The next night we went to the National Bowling Stadium Reno.
It was fun, Kathy won the first game, I won the second game, and Lizette won the third game. Unfotunately Bethany didn't win any games, she didn't even play, she was too eager on winning that teddy bear in that stuffed animal game, it was fun, after she won that teddy bear, she wanted to win the other teddy bear, so we couldn't leave. Bethany won three teddy bears that day. When we got back to the hotel we went to the lounge for a cup of hot chocolate. The next day we woke up at 8:00 in the morning. After breakfast at Papa Johns we went to Nevada Museum of Art. It was really cool. We saw some awesome stuff, it was hilarious when Lizette got scared of the skeleton painting with the rose in its mouth. After that we went to get ice cream at Braums. I got a Strawberry Sundae, Bethany got a Chocolate Sundae, Kathy got a Chocolate Cookie, and Lizette got a Strawberry Sundae. It was delicious. The Strawberry was the best part, of course. After that we went to a Jewelry Shop called Horseshoe Jewelry & Loan.
Bethany wanted this one necklace so bad that she almost wanted to kiss it. We saw some fantastic jewelry. I loved the stuff with that diamond shape. Katherine Lainez got some earings 22.00$, and Lizette got a necklace for 10.50$ and I got a bracelet with diamonds for 77.00$, Bethany didn't get anything because wanted to save her money for more important things.
The next day we stopped at the Chili's Restaurant by our hotel before we left to eat. We went straight to the airport to go to Minneapolis, Minnessota.

What we did in Honolulu, Hawaii

When we flew in from San, Francisco we went strate to the Aston Kaanapali Shores Formely Resourt Quest to get ready for the Cruise called the Royal Carribean. We have ordered to be on there for one day and they will have to bring us back from where we came from for 50.00 more. The actuall cruise was for 239.00 but sence we have to pay 50.00 more our total was 289.00. We had lots of fun, we saved some money becuase there was a contest that Lizette joined, and she won a prize of free dinner for all of there friends/family.

Once we got back from the cruise it was 9:15 in the morning. So we decided to go to our next activity, which was the Sea Life Park Admission which costed 92.60 all together. We learned about the many species of marine wild life, we saw exhibites that were all very interesting, we also saw videos about the marine wild life, we even got to see what some wierd looking fish were about. We also learned on how the park is helping to ensure the survival of the beloved birds. When we learned about the park helping situation we went to see a Sea Lion. It included a Hawaii Reef Aquarium that has over 2,000 reef species and organisims. It had sharks, stingrays, and schools of fish. We were covered becuase we got free food as long as we went to see at least three videos, which we did. It was cool, we had a ton of fun. Now I don't have to watch that boring discovery stuff anymore to learn about the fish. After that we went to the Deluxe Dolphin and Snorkel for 112.12 each. We got to swim with the dolphins and other sea creatures for an hour, it was so much fun. One of the dolphins shot out water on Kathy, it was lol. It was hilarious!!! But, she didn't think so.

What we did in San Fransisco, California

When we drove to San Fransisco, we were all about to faint when we saw how much money it cost for a gallon of gas. {2.36} That was alot of money. Once we got there we were very tired, so we just unpacked our suitcases and checked in to the Metro Hotel.We got into bed and calmed down by watching a video called Beauty and the Beast. I know that is a little childish, but that was the only appropriate movie on. That morning we all slept-in till 10:30. After we ate at the hotel for 20.00 for all of us, we went straight to the Admission to the Young Museum and Legion of Honor, and then we went to eat at a restuarant called Jeff's Cafe for 9.99 each. Then we went on and went to The Aquarium of the Bay, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and then we went to a gas station for a snack. it all costed 5.98, after that we went to the Exploratorium & the California Academy of Sciences, we stayed there for 1 day, so we would be able to have more time for more fun. It was for 38.00 each, so we ended up spending 155.99. It was very fun. That night me and Abril had to share a room, and Lizette and Kathy had to share a room. After we got back we went to eat at an Italian Restuarant called Ducca. The restuarant was located 50 Third St. We ate spaggetti and meat sauce for 12.98 each. It had cost 51.92. It was expensive but the spaggetti was worth it. After that we decided to go shopping. We went to a book store called Stacey's Book Store. It was hard to find, but we all decided to stop and ask someone. We found out that it was located 581 Market St, San Francisco CA. After we each picked out one book we all were craving for something sweet. So we went to a place called the Candy Store. We knew where it was becuase we bought a map for 99 cents. We bought two just incase we lost one. We ended upspending 1.98 on maps that meant when we wen't to all the other states/cities we also spent money for at least 2 maps. When we got to the Candy Store we fell in love with the sinky smell of feet smell in the room. It smelt so good, it just got us more hungry. We all ordered a Hot Fudge Sunday, except for me, I had a Mint Chacholate Chip cup. A half an hour later it was 8:45, so we all decided to go to Block Buster to rent a movie. We all agreed on No Reservations. It had cost 4.99. Once we stepped out of Block Buster we got out our maps and found out that our hotel was a block away from Block Bustrer. We agreed that it would be more wise if we didn't pay money for someone to drive us, and that we should walk. On our walk we talked about what we liked about our day. We all agreed it was the ice cream. The next morning we decided to get up early to go sight seeing, sence it was our last day. We got up, took turns taking showers and ate breakfast at a restuaraunt called the Cliff House. This restraunt had the best breakfast I had ever ate. It included scrambled eggs and bacon, my favorite. After eating breakfast we went to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom.
It was so much fun, I went on my second raller coaster ride ever. We all ate cottoncandy, we made jokes about the cottoncandy too. Lizette made a joke so she licked a piece of cotton candy and stuck it on her forehead. It was so sweet we all said at once. We went on lots of rides, on one I promised them I'd go on right after I ate my chilly dog I vomoted on. We had lots of fun. After we came back to the hotel we realized it was 9:00. We all got in bed, so we all could wake up early to get to the airport in the morning.
