The Trip of a Lifetime
Ever since I was little, I loved the idea of going all over the world. My family never had the money to travel anywhere exciting, but the summer of 2016 was different. My uncle Terry lives in Spokane, which is in Washington. My mom decided it was time to go on vacation and visit, so we hopped on a train and went to visit him.
