Where I want to Spend my Summer Vacation
By Ivy
My family takes a vacation every summer, and this year I want my parents to take us to Orlando, Florida. I really want to go there so we can visit the new Harry Potter theme park and I can finally give the Headmaster my address so I can get my acceptance letter!
My parents are very strict about education, and every vacation has been centered around learning things. Mostly we go to dry, boring museums. Some of it was fun, but this year I want to go someplace silly and exciting just because we can, not because it's educational. Besides, it's not like Hogwarts isn't a school. They should be into that!
Of course, to help my case for my moms, I went online and found out that there's a lot more to see in Orlando besides Harry Potter (although that's more than enough for me!). I would also love to meet some princesses and ride some rides at the Magic Kingdom, plus we'd be a lot closer to the beach than we are at home!
And, if my parents get tired of the theme parks and insist on doing something a little more educational, I bet we could learn a lot about marine life. Orlando also has Sea World, Discovery Cove, Gatorland and Dinosaur World, which all look really neat.
I'll probably end up touring Civil War battlefields or President Fillmore's house again, but when I go back to school and have to write that boring report on what I did this summer, I'd really prefer to be writing about Harry Potter and dolphins.
