Dear Future Me,
My thirteenth birthday was a life changing for me because I got over my fear of heights and I became a teenager ! I went to ''Deep Creek'' ski resort in Oakland,MD. Lots of people came along with me to celebrate.
When I came home from school on February 1, 2012 , I changed my clothes. I seen that everybody was packed up except for me. So I asked what I should pack since I didn't know where we was going. My god-parents told me that my stuff was already packed up and ready to go. I asked where we was going but nobody would tell me. We all got in the cars and left. First, we stopped at the gas station to get some snacks for the road and gas. We headed for the highway. It was me, my god-parents, my grandmother, my two aunts, and my two little cousins. Some hours later we finally got there. We stopped at a restaurant named ''Santa Fe''. We got our food and waited for my aunts to get there because they were running behind a little bit. When they got there we ate and took some pictures and left. We drove around looking for resort but we couldn't find it. We pulled over and asked somebody for the directions. When we got to our cabin we picked our rooms and unpacked our luggage from the cars. Once we got finished we went back out to go shopping. We got all of the things we were going to need for the weekend.
We got back to the cabin and played pool and watched movies for the rest of the night. The next morning when I woke up, my grandmother was cooking a BIG breakfast for the family. One she got done we all ate and then got dressed so we can go out and do activities. We went snow tubing and we got on a roller-coaster that goes up in the mountains. When I got on the roller-coaster I seen a sign that said 365 feet in the air. After I seen that sing I wanted to get off but I couldn't. When we got finished with that we went home and changed to go out to eat. When we got done with that we went home and played more pool.
The next day was finally here it was my birthday !! When I woke up I went to look out of the window and one of my wishes had came true, it snowed !! For my birthday we stayed in and cooked a BIG dinner. While the food was cooking that night some of us played in the snow and had fun. When the food was done we ate together at the dinner table. Once we finished dinner, they sung "Happy Birthday" to me, we cut the cake, and I opened my gifts. I got a new pair of slippers and pajamas, money, cards, and the trip. After that we roasted marshmallows at the fire pit outside and made s'mores. We continued to play outside in the woods in the snow until we got tired and went to sleep.
The last day had come after a long weekend. I was sad that it was time to leave. It was so much fun and I'm glad we went to the ski resort because if we wouldn't have went then i probably wouldn't have got over my fear of heights. We all got ready to leave, we packed up and made sure the house was the way we came to it. We packed the cars with our bags and left the resort. I wish we had more time but I appreciate the time we had together as a family. This is a trip I will never forget !!
