3rd thing that stopped me in my tracks

        September 17^th, 2011. I woke up to the scream of my mother’s voice. I slowly got out of my bed and made my way to the living room, where my parents were waiting. My brother met me there. Our mom told us to get dressed and pack an extra outfit. We would be on our way to universal studios in less than an hour. I was surprised. We had never gone to an amusement park as a family. My brother’s eyes lit up. I was excited, but not as much as my brother. He had never been to universal studios before.The ride there was too slow. My brother and I slept most of the way. We later got there & had to go through the process of finding a parking spot & buying tickets. It took way too long, but it was worth it. We spent three hours in universal studios & four hours in Island of Adventures.  My brother & I rode almost every single ride in both parks. It was always one of my brother’s minor wishes to throw up from riding roller coasters over & over again. Since that was his last weekend to be a kid, this was his last chance. By 7pm, we had been on ‘rock it’ twice, ‘The Hulk’ three times, & ‘Dragon Challenge’ seven times. We were tired, sick, dizzy, & weak by the time we left the park, but neither of us threw up, regrettably. We made our way to the Ale house to eat dinner. It was packed from door to door but we were able to get a booth. We were on the edge of our seats, watching the Mayweather vs. Ortiz fight. The outcome was a perfect way to end the night. By 2am, we were checked into a hotel, right outside of Daytona. This ended the best weekend i had had in a very long time.
