Journal #4: Wyoming

I love to travel, especially if I go somewhere far away or out of state. In sixth grade, my aunt and uncle asked my brother to go to Wyoming with them. Lucky for me, my younger brother becomes homesick very easily, and my aunt and uncle asked me to go. I was extremely happy to go with them to Wyoming.
We were going to go to a dude ranch in Wyoming up near Jacksonhole, Wyoming. We were going to go horse back riding, fly fishing, hiking, sight seeing, and of course, shopping. I was very excited to be going.
A few days before the trip started, I packed my large suitcase with tons of warm clothes, shoes, and hats. I packed my boots and the cowboy hat my dad gave me especially for the trip to Wyoming. We arrived in Kansas, where my extended family lived, and I packed my stuff into their big Tahoe. After many hugs and goodbye's, my aunt, uncle, and little cousin left for Wyoming, a good day's drive. On the trip I took many pictures of the scenery with my digital camera, and I still have those amazing pictures. When we got the ranch, we were welcomed with a cookout and singing. The next day, I went horseback riding for the first time, and I instantly loved it. My cousin nearly got kicked off the horse, so we had to leave early for safety reasons. Then we went fishing at Snake River, where I was the only one who caught a trout. The best part of going to the Snake River was that my aunt fell in and became soaked. And being the crazy uncle he is, my uncle tried to scare away a buffalo. That was definitely an interesting experience. The next couple of days we went shopping, horse back riding, white water rafting, and hiking in the great Tetons. They were so beautiful, and we were able to see them, almost wherever we went.
That trip was an amazing trip, and I am still glad that I went on that Wyoming trip. The scenery was beautiful, and one got to see nature everywhere. I did benefit from the trip; I was able to become closer with my family, and I was able to see another state. It was really neat to see the Tetons and all the landscape in Wyoming, that I did not see in Illinois. It was a really amazing trip to Wyoming.
