Last year I traveled to Dallas, Texas with my cousins and my family. I have been doing this since 2011. Last year a friend called Medardo and his mother and sister traveled too. It was a great experience. We went from December 28th of 2013 to January 7th 2014. The first thing we did was watch a basketball game in the Mavericks stadium, it lasted about two hours so I was feeling a little bored but also I was happy and excited because the Mavericks were winning. The stadium was very loud because of the huge crowd that was supporting the Mavericks. Also it was a huge place I don't know exactly how much people fit in there but I calculate about 50,000 or more.
Then we visited the Dallas Cowboys stadium, the AT&T stadium. It is a huge stadium with a capacity for thousands of people. When we went there were no matches so we just went to see the fitting rooms and they were very luxurious. Also I visited the fitting rooms of the cheerleaders. Then we went to the field and we started playing and then a man and his child asked us if they
could play and we made a little football game. It was awesome and exhausting too. At the end we kicked a field goal and my father scored but he sent the ball to the terraces and a man that was cleaning told us that we couldn't kick. It was a cold day. I felt very happy and amazed by the size of the stadium.
The next day we visited a Galleria Dallas and it was warm because of the air conditioning. This mall was very big, so big that it has a skating ring. I felt amazed because it had thousands of stores and many restaurants. That day we spent all day in the mall, we ate at a pizza restaurant and I remember it was delicious.
Also I visited the Sixth Floor Museum, it is a museum that shows how was president John F. Kennedy killed. Also it tells information about president Kennedy and about the day he was murdered. That museum had a lot of new technology, and it was a sunny day. The visit to the museum was very interesting and I enjoyed it a lot. I felt sad because the
story is sad; but I was amazed about the entire museum.
Two days after we visited an ice exposition called Ice¡ at was at Gaylord Texan Hotel, which is a very important and luxurious hotel. It was very colorful and there were many characters from movies like Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda. It was very cold because there were lots of ice everywhere, I remember that I had to wear about four jackets, a pair of gloves and a cap. The colors were very bright. It was an amazing experience.
We also visited North Park, which is a huge mall. The air outside the mall was very cold, but inside, the air conditioning was warm. The colors of the mall were like dry and sad, so they made me feel sad. I was a little desperate because I had been there for many hours and also because I woke up early everyday and I went to sleep late. At the end I enjoyed the mall and all the shopping we did.
Also we went to visit downtown Dallas, it was very illuminated and it had lots of buildings, most of them
important buildings. It was very organized, a lot more than Mexico, but even though it was organized it was very crowded and there were lots of cars. We took about an hour to go to eat at a restaurant but once we got there it was delicious. We arrived to the house very late and I went to sleep immediately.
Also we visited the Grapevine Mills Aquarium. It was very big and blue; it had different types of fish. There were squids, fish, sharks, crabs and many other species. It was like a long hallway with many fishbowls. Then there were big pools in which you could see animals and touch them but you could not swim because there was not enough space.
My aunt has a house in Vista Ridge so we stayed there. While we stayed at the house we played soccer or we went to the streets to ride our bikes or we saw movies. We had lots of games to entertain us. I have very good memories from that. The sun was green and the days were cold but sunny. One day the weather was so cold that it even
snowed. People there were very friendly and nice. I felt happy while I was there because I spent time with my family. Also I felt excited about what we were going to play or do that day.
Al last we went through these freeways to get to the airport, I felt very sad while we passed through them. I was so tired that I even slept a while. The weather that day was rainy and I was bored because it was a long trip that I didn’t want to take. Finally we arrived to the Dallas Fort-Worth International Airport. These has been the best trip I have ever done in my life. I enjoyed it and I felt very good and very happy during this trip.
