Dani went to San Diego with the Hope Club. The Hope Club was started again at Porter Elementary School this year to promote recycling, gardening, and learning how to take care of the planet we live in. The club started planning this trip in September and Dani was so excited to go.
Dani left Porter at 9:00 pm on a charter bus. The idea was for the kids to sleep on the way to San Diego - but Dani was way to excited to sleep. They arrived to San Diego at 5:00 am. They were going onto a boat trip at 9:00 am, they were 4 hours early. So the kids and parents slept until 9:00.
At 9:00 am everyone put on their scarfs, coats, gloves, anything could keep them warm! Then they got off the bus. They walked to the boats and were told what to do to be safe on a boat, then the instructor chose 2 kids one boy to be a Model. And one to be the Slime Princess. He chose Dani as the Slime Princess.
The Slime Princess, (Dani) got to pick a Lobster's nose (she was tricked!) and she got to put her hand in a fish's mouth and much more stuff you wouldn't normally do! The Model showed everyone how to wear a life jacket, he walked around like a real model. So they set off on their new adventure. About a half hour later they threw a huge net out to catch some critters from the bottom of the sea.
An hour later they used wet ropes to pull the net up, they caught many, different critters. Then the sun finally came up. After the sun came up it finally warmed up, but after 5 minutes of warmth, it started to rain! It rained all on the way back to the shore.
Then we went to Sharky's Pier, which served us breakfast, lunch and dinner. After that we went to Sea world for the rest of the day. at sea world, we saw so many sea animals! The last activity we did at sea world was the famous shamu show! My group sat in the soak area! And when the shamu cam splashing by, BOOM we were soaked!!! And a special cheer they taught us was where you put your hands beside each other and wave them up and down and yell: Shamu! Shamu! with the beats of the music! It was stuck m my head for the rest of the trip and about a week after! Then we went to the beach and at marshmallows while telling stories by a bonfire. That night we slept at the Mission Valley Resort with our "group" I was grouped with my besties!! Miranda Krist, Annmarie Burleson, and Emma Scott. We took showers, and we turned on the TV and joked about the boy ballerina dancer's and how weird they looked, then we ate starbursts, then fell asleep after a long and exhausting day.
That morning we had breakfast at Sharky's Pier. That day all the seagulls were out. They were snatching our pancakes, and bacon! Then we went to Scripps Aquarium. It was a neat experience! After that we went to a barbecue lunch at Sharky's and then we ended out trip by going shopping at Seaport Village where we later got dessert. We left San Diego at 2:00 and got back at 10:00 pm, I was so glad to see my family again!!
