Personal Narrative: My Trip To Jamestown North Dakota

Improved Essays
When I went to Jamestown North Dakota a medium sized city in the absolute middle of nowhere land. This place is so much in the middle of nowhere you didn't see anything until a mile a way. The way there took a long time it took four and a half hours.when we were there we went to a hotel there were we were staying it was a nice hotel on the edge of the city. The way home was less boring because we did more on the way back. We went out to eat a lot we didn't go out to eat one time while we were there. I stayed for three days before finally coming home on a Sunday we left on a Friday.

The beginning of the trip was long and boring. My grandpa left with my brother and my two older sisters, they left a one o'clock. My dad and mom drove me

Two of them were so bad we almost had to pull over, but we decided not to because we were all tired and just wanted to get home and relax . With all the rain banging off the windows of the truck we could barely see the road ten feet in front of us and a lot of people were pulling to the side of the road to wait it out. We decided to drive right through the storm, after it calmed down we ate lunch at pizza hut. Then we just drove the rest of the way to my house after stopping at a gas station in Cambridge to use the bathroom all because of my sister and I got a pop and chips while we were there. Then when we got home we unloaded everything from the cars I had to carry most of the bags to our table in our kitchen.

Jamestown, a town this is in the middle of nowhere it's like north branch in size anyway, but this town has more churches and other thing for people to do their. It is about six hours from mount Rushmore tho we were gonna go there while we were in north Dakota but we didn't but in Jamestown we found a pioneer village. I had a lot of fun while I was in Jamestown going down the water slides and going to pioneer

    The place I would visit often when I was a child was my Mawmaw and Pawpaw's house out in the country of Hayti, MO. Going there had a great influence on my life because it made me the hard worker I am today. From the age range of a baby to maybe around eight years old.

    With the windows down, the crisp, cool summer air permeated throughout my body, acquiring every hair to stand at attention. Buffalo surrounded and granged lazily through the corn fields that shot high to the sky, as if every row was assembled soldiers getting ready to march. South Dakota is known for open fields with a consumed, laid back lifestyle with not much ever going on. Going into the trip knowing this, I was not in the least bit excited. It was when I absorbed the laid back atmosphere and appreciated every single bit of their way of life.…

    I consider my hometown to be Grand Forks, North Dakota. I was born at the former United Hospital in Grand Forks in 1994, and have lived here for my entire life—with the exception of about a year spent in Walhalla, North Dakota, due to the flood of 1997. The schools that I attended while growing up are all within fifteen minutes of driving from my current house. My parents live just 6.2 miles away from me. Although Grand Forks is my city of birth, it wasn’t until I started college that I really considered it my hometown.…

    I start my trip from the location of frenzied outfitting activity throughout the 1840s and early 1850s, Independence (Missouri) was the jumping-off point for the Santa Fe and Oregon trails. The town includes several historic buildings, monuments and Independence Spring. As the place of convergence of early routes from the Mississippi Valley, this square was the last significant point of supply until the mid-1840s, when Westport also became an outfitting town. When I visited Independence in 1846, I found, "a great Babel of African slaves, indolent dark-skinned Spaniards, profane and dust-laden bullwhackers going to and from Santa Fe with their immense wagons, and emigrant families bound for the Pacific, all cheerful and intent on their embarkation…

    I visited Elizabethtown on a whim, mostly because my grandmother had mentioned it to me a few times. I hadn't heard much about the school before touring it. I knew it was a small, liberal arts college, which is my main criteria for all of the schools that I tour. Elizabethtown blew me away in a million different ways. I have toured a lot of small colleges, but few of them have the obvious community feel that Elizabethtown has.…
