We can all agree that it’s nice to have a little break from our daily routines. I still remember the road trip my family and I took to Lake of the Ozarks and Rogers, Arkansas. It was a two-day vacation we took in 2017. Some days earlier, my dad got back from work with some exciting news! “Pack your bags for tomorrow. We’re going on a road trip”. I was thrilled, but I thought my dad was just joking around. My dad had his ‘serious face’, which is when I knew that he wasn’t joking. I immediately started to pack my bag. I think I was so excited that I couldn't fall asleep the night before we left. The next day, we left at 6 am and arrived at our destination around 8:30 am.
The first thing my dad wanted to do once we arrived to Camdenton was to go to a popular tourist attraction called Bridal Caves. We took a one-hour tour. When I first entered, I was shocked to see what I saw; I’ve never seen anything like that in my life. It’s impressive to learn about how the onyx and stalactite forms inside the cavern. The walls inside the caves were very moist. We took family pictures in front of a wall of stalactites. The only thing I disliked about this trip was that it was raining. As a result, if it was raining outside, it felt like it was raining inside the caves, too. Before we left, we went inside the gift shop. My mom bought me two gold rocks and a necklace with a tiny magenta rock. I was delighted with my trip to Bridal Caves. After we left the caves, we were starving. We made a quick stop to McDonald’s.

Since it was raining, we couldn't go to any outside tourist attractions that we wanted to go to. So, we had to change our plans. We decided it would be nice to head to Rogers, Arkansas. On our three-hour drive to Arkansas, we listened to music and did karaoke. We had great quality family time! When we arrived, we got a hotel. Some hours later, we went to a restaurant that sells fried chicken. The restaurant is called ‘Pollo Campero’. With the first bite, my mouth melted. It was savory, juicy and crispy. I also ate French fries and some butter biscuits. Then, we headed back to the hotel. My family and I decided that it was better if we relax the rest of the day because we were tired. At the hotel, we watch television, took a shower and went to sleep.
The next morning, we woke early because I wanted to go to an art museum. The museum is called Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. One of the things I liked the most in the museum was that one of the walls was painted green and orange with black and white shapes. I remember this specific detail because my sister and I took pictures in front of this wall. Another thing I liked was that there was an exhibit that had candy on the all over the floor that you could get. I remember that I grab a bunch of candy and put it in my purse. The candy had a sweet flavor. I think we spent about 3 hours at the museum. It was so much to see.
After that we went to Lake Atalanta Park. This park had a huge lake, an enormous playground and a treehouse. We walked on the trail, got on the swings, and played with other kids at the park. My sisters and I took a lot of pictures and videos when we were up on the treehouse. It was the first time I saw a treehouse at a park. It was very amusing to go up all the stairs of the treehouse. Afterwards, we saw a little pond. My sister and I got in the pond and started to splash water on each other. When I look back at the memories, it brings a big smile on my face.
My road trip to Lake of the Ozark and Rogers, Arkansas, has been, by far, the best experience of my life. Even though this trip was two years ago, it’s still vivid in my memory and something I will never forget. The memories I made there, are something I truly treasure and always will. I learned that it was very important to spend all the time you can with the people you love. This is my unforgettable road trip.
