The Perfect Vacation
by Joy M Age: 11
School was finally over and summer was here in the small town of Coudersport. The well-known Osborne family was going on a vacation to Shenandoah Valley.

They packed their bags and put them in the truck bed. Then they locked up the house and farm and set off for the mountains. They pulled out a map on the way there to try and find a rest stop.
2
They stopped at the nearest rest stop, which was about 70 miles up the road. When they got there, it said it was the rest stop for people going to Maine! They were going the wrong way. They headed back down to Pennsylvania and stopped at a place called Holiday Inn. They stayed there for the night and decided how far they should go and where they should stop the next day.

The next day they went to the campsite they were going to stay at. They had a horrible time getting there. When they went in the small office near the entrance, the manager told them everything that was going on that week.

They had a swimming pool open on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. They also had hot tubs open everyday from 12:00 to 3:00. They had a store by the office, a game room in an old barn , a water fall and a river. They also had a playground, a fishing pond, a huge hill to climb and a mile long trail. Every Friday they had a big party at the barn.
5
They decided to go and set up camp first. Then they would search for fire wood to start a fire. They also wanted to go to the store and look around to find something to start a fire with, like a box of matches.
6
After they set up. they got in their bathing suits. They rented some tubes from the store and went tubing down the river. They each got a different color tube.
7
By the time they got back it was almost dark and they decided to light a fire and roast marshmallows. They also had some hotdogs to roast for dinner.

Every day they did a fun activity and came home tired. They even went to the party on Friday. They had a lot of fun. Early Saturday morning they left. When they got home they were very tired. They went straight to bed. When they woke up they started to plan another fun vacation at the campsite.
