Personal Narrative Essay: My Trip To The Wisconsin Dells

Superior Essays
“Daddy I think that’s our tire,” I screamed. As our tire was rolling down the side of the snow covered hill with smoke coming off of it. Two years ago our trip to the Wisconsin Dells over spring break started off like like most of our family vacations. My mom wanted to go somewhere for spring break and my dad didn’t want to pay a lot of money. So, they settled for the Wisconsin Dells. We always took my dad’s truck on road trips because it had lots of space and a movie player. This year going on the vacation it just was my mom, dad and sister, Sloane.

After he took some pictures and he couldn’t see another car coming. He ran faster than we had ever seen him run across the 2 lane highway and disappeared down the hill.
It felt like forever waiting for my dad to come up that hill, but my mom kept us busy. She told us to pack everything up and try to make everything neat since we probably had to get a rental car. Once we saw my dad come up the side of the hill with the tire, we were all praying that he would make it across the highway safely. Once a huge semi went past us, he started across the highway rolling the tire as fast as he could.
Once he made it across he called the ford company again they said that the tow truck should be there any minute.

    I looked up to my left and saw a guard rail with a river behind it, the car was heading towards it. My sister took control of the wheel and steered us the best she could towards the ditch. It was all green everywhere as the rear of the car hit the ditch first and spun us around, sending the front hitting the ditch as well. We spun around one more time, completing two 360’s.
