Personal Narrative: My Trip To The Smoky Mountains

I have never been out of the state Missouri before, my family for our trips always went camping and canoeing. Chelsea and her family usually go to Florida, this time they decided to go to Tennessee. Chelsea asked her parents if I could go with them, it was better than the usual trips my family takes. Instead of getting sun-burned and dehydrated, being on the river for 8 hours and rowing the whole time getting exhausted, I got to go some place new. Everything was sorta the same, it was also different though. We had the chance of going to the Smoky Mountains, I spent my first night at a hotel there, and saw a bunch of new places. It was off to a really rocky start in the beginning, I have never been in a car that long before. I got really nauseous …show more content…
Being on top of a mountain wasn’t really my forte, I had to get over it because Chelsea’s dad didn’t waste time going up it. When you keep going up curved roads you get dizzy, and your ears will keep popping from the height change so fast. That really made me feel sick, we had to stop at some point because all these cars were parked halfway up the mountain. No one was in their vehicles, everybody was taking pictures. We had to get closer to see what all the commotion was about, this little black bear cub was sitting down eating in this field. It was really fun seeing a baby bear that close to you, but the momma bear was nowhere to be found. The rest of the way up the mountain was really slow because of the traffic, we finally parked and went on the trail to the very top. i kept wanting to break down and just sleep on a bench, we stopped once for her mom to re-tie her shoe. At the very top of the mountain there is something called Clingman’s Dome. We made it that far might as well go all the way up, we walked to the very top of the structure and just looked out to see all the mountains and hills with tons of trees and rocks. On the way down we got slightly hit by another car but it was ok because the hitch was there and dented the person’s new car instead. I felt a lot better once we were down the mountain, my legs felt like jelly. After that we went to KFC, me not …show more content…
The first thing we saw was a guy driving a boat with wheels and everything with flames down the side. We went to an aquarium they had, it was really fun and exciting. Chelsea got to see her favorite thing, sharks. We got to pet a horseshoe crab and some sting rays, they had these tunnels that went under the tanks. The tunnel had a thing that felt like the bottom of a treadmill, you stood there and it all moved on its own. They also had these weird circular glass tanks that had the middle cut out of it. You would crawl inside on the bottom and stand up and see fish all around you. We also went to a taffy shop where they pulled and stretched the taffy right in front of you. They made samples and gave the pieces to everybody. Then we went to the Beef Jerky Outlet, they had these suckers with insects like scorpions in them. It was disgusting to me, Chelsea bought one for her brother to eat though. They had the world’s spiciest pepper and I love spicy food, I wanted to get it, but I couldn’t because there was an age limit to buy. We kept walking, in and out till we got to another store we liked. Turns out the next store had hermit crabs, my mom didn’t appreciate it. I got a hermit crab and named it Ace, after I got him I realized I was going to get into some big trouble. So the only thing a kid could do at that point was to make up some excuse or reason they got it. I called my mom and told her I
