The Spring Break

    Who had a great spring beak? I know that I had a fantastic spring break. What I got to do was fly to Vancouver, British Columbia to visit my aunt. It is located in Canada, so my parents researched a flight to right on that flies to Vancouver. The airport that I took was O'hare Airport, which is in Chicago, Illinois.  I flew by myself, since the tickets are really expensive. And if you know who flies to foreign countries, you have to go through condoms, which they ask you if you are bringing anything that is legally and why you are going there. I was nervous that they would ask me questions that I don't know. In the end though, I was able to answer to the questions and get to the entrance where my aunt was waiting for me.
   I found her and she was really glad to me and can't wait to spend time with me. While we were still at the airport, we bought some tickets at some locations that Betsy and I would go to. After we bought the tickets, we started our day by riding the train to downtown.When we got to her apartment, I put my stuff up, got in the car, and drove to the Vancouver Aquarium in Stanly Parks. While at the Vancouver Aquarium, we saw seals, dolphins, fishes (some was looking at nothing and I was trying to imitate them), baloga whales, and many other sea animals. It was great. :-) 
   We finished looking at the sea animals, we drove around Stanley Park, to Spanish Banks, then to Queen Elma Peter Park. The view was amazing. At one of the parks, we saw the Lions Gate Bridge. It was really long. Trust me.
   Here are the rest of my time with my aunt since it would take me a long time to talk about.
