My Weekend Trip
by Rohan R.


    Over the weekend, My family and friends went to Lake Tahoe. My mom bought sleds for us so we parked at the side of the road near the Bear Valley Ski Resort, and went sledding on a nearby hill.  We had a fun time sledding down the hill, and once, I accidentally did three somersaults coming down. Also, the view of the mountains from there was fabulous.
After that, we went to a river which had many rapids. Then we went to our cabin in the Dorrington Lodge, to eat dinner and sleep for the night. After dinner, my friend and I played Monopoly and Uno, for a long time.
The next day, we went to the town of Murphy to visit Mercer Caverns. The stairs, we walked on, in the cavern were very steep, and there were many awesome sites, with stalactites and stalagmites, that the tour guide showed us. There were many low hanging limestone formations which we had to duck so as not to touch the rocks. Our guide said that if we touched a part of the cavern, that part would die, and not continue growing. Finally, we reached the end of the cavern, and we exited it. Then we went to a restaurant to eat lunch, and after that we left for home. What fun thing have you done on the weekends?

I don't get to do anything during regular weekends since I have classes on both days. But, I did do something on the past break's weekend! Our family went to Half- Moon Bay to ride horses. It was so fun. Plus, I'm going to Horseback Riding Camp this summer! (woohoo!)

I have gone to Lake Tahoe for the weekend a few months ago.

Over the weekends, I just play video games. Video games are fun because they are hard and always provide a challenge. To beat a video game, there usually is a process you must go through.

We drove to LA which is about 400 miles away! We stayed at my mom's worker's apartement, which is right over the Santa Monica Pier! That trip was great!
