Hawaii

Hawaii

Hawaii is a very beautiful place I believe by the pictures I see on the internet. I would love to visit Hawaii one day because first of all it is a gorgeous place and it calls my attention to visit. For my 15th birthday  I want to spend a week over there. I am still unsure if I should go or have a quincenera. Well anyways, I would also like to visit Hawaii because I would like to try different foods, learn about their tradition, and experience how they live their lives over there. It also seems fun because you can go visit any volcanoes, swim with the animals, take tours, surf, and watch Lua's. It also calls my attention because of the color of the ocean. The ocean is also clean. Hawaii consists of 6 mainly visited Islands. Each Island has its own distinct character and vibe, cultural history and rare opportunities to experience. Hawaii is the best destination on earth for an adventurous family vacation. That's my goal to go to Hawaii with my family. I would really like to go on a helicopter tour! I've never been on one and since Hawaii has many beautiful things to see, it would be fun. I've also heard that the stage shows are fascinating to watch. Especially when they do Lua's with fire. I've always dreamed of getting in the water with a nice color and all those types of details ever since I was a little girl and I still do. I consider going to Hawaii with my family and friends. Hopefully someday I go to Hawaii. 

Thanksgiving Week

Thanksgiving Week

On Thanksgiving Day, I went to Azalea and shopped at Forever 21 to look for a cute outfit for Thanksgiving. After that, my mom, sister, and I got ready to go to my aunts house and gather up with our family to eat dinner. My aunt and grandma made panes con pollo, tamales, posole, and champurado. That's my favorite part of celebrating Thanksgiving to be honest because I love to stuff myself with good food. I really enjoyed eating panes con pollo. After we ate, we all gathered up to do Secret Santa this year. It was a new experience for our family because we don't normally ever do that. For my Thanksgiving break I went to Downtown LA, Foxhills Mall, my dad's house, and to Edward's Theater. I also went to one of my bestfriend's Quincenera. It was really fun and I really appreciated that she invited me. Other than that, I would lay down all day resting and watching movies on Netflix.  On Sundays I watched NBA Football with my dad. My CTR experiences were to thank my family and friends for always sticking by my side no matter what and putting up with. Especially to my mom. It must be hard for a single mother to raise two kids on her own. I didn't read any books because I was too busy going out. On the last day of our Thanksgiving Break, I decided to do my homework. That always happens to me. I end up doing it at the last minute because I choose not to take the time to do it on my break. 

Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Day

The first thanksgiving in the United States was on Plymouth Rock in Massachusetts in 1621. The pilgrims held their second thanksgiving celebration in 1623. Thanksgiving is the time when the pilgrims came to America and celebrated by having a feast with some Native Americans in the area that helped them get food. It was a huge feast with many people there. Today we celebrate Thanksgiving to get together with family or friends. Turkey is the most common popular food to eat on Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a feast of thanksgiving, held on the fourth of Thursday in November in the United States. Traditionally, it is held to remember the celebration by the pilgrims of the first harvest in the new North America colony. The pilgrims wanted to thank the Native Americans for letting them have the opportunity and helping them survive in the new world. The next day is Friday which is known as Black Friday. Stores are considered in the Black when they have profit. Many stores have big sells and many people go Christmas shopping. Some stores open at 5 a.m. and people line up to get best discounts. So Black Friday means lots of stores making money and hopefully lots of people getting good deals. The day after Thanksgiving and Christmas is when people start setting up the Christmas lights.
