my recent trip when i went to lake Tahoe on last weekend. So Tahoe City CA is a charming town in North Lake Tahoe where plenty of entertaining attractions are planned all year long. Travelers are drawn to the miles of shoreline of Tahoe City California, and all of the water sports, sunbathing, and recreational opportunities that this environment provides. Whether you want to sit back and enjoy the view or indulge in four-star dining, you will find the perfect match at Tahoe City. There are many places along Lake Tahoe that are worth a visit, from Incline Village to state line, so why choose Tahoe City? The answer is simple: Art galleries, activities for families, and restaurants all give this spot a special personality that visitors love.so i went to casino resort, the beach, fishing, and skiing. that was very fun and good free time for my life.

My most recent trip of more than 100 miles was last summer. I went to Paris for three days. I had to go to Paris for an interview at the American Embassy to obtain my visa. I got there by train and I stayed at my brother’s apartment. The first, we just stay in the apartment and had a dinner with his roommate. The second day was the July 14th, so the French National day. We wanted to try to see the parade but it was raining so we went to a museum (Musée Grevin). For the lunch, we ate in an Italian restaurant; and after we went to the movie theater to see Shrek 4 (Shrek Forever After) in 3D. And in the evening, we went under the Eiffel Tower to see fireworks. The last day, I went to the American Embassy to have an interview to get my student visa to come to the US. Then I went to the train station to go back to my home.

To the surprise I didn’t have any trips any farther than 100 km. I have 8 kids and when I lived in my country we couldn’t go anywhere because we had our own cows, pigs, hen, and ducks. We couldn’t leave the farm to anyone and go to a vacation with my family. I thought that if I come to America I will be able to go anywhere I wanted but, it doesn’t happen to be that way. The first two years we had only one car but the whole family can’t fit in only one car. Our kids have grown enough and we can take them everywhere with us, but I have a father-in-law who lives with us and he doesn’t have legs, he is 80 years old and he has heart problems. My husband takes care of him. It is impossible to leave him at home neither is it possible to take him with us. But I believe it’s not going to be like that always, when all our kids will get married every one of them will work for themselves and then they will have more chances of going to visit other places. One more problem that I have is I don’t have relatives in this country. Only one brother but he lives in Washington. He is planning to move to California soon. Then I will have someone to go with on my vacation. My daughter had a trip to Washington a month ago. She went to her friend’s wedding. She had a wonderful time. She spent there 4 days and she was vary happy because she likes Washington.

My family’s recent trip was a trip to San Francisco. We went there for just a day. My children took some beautiful pictures of the city. The buildings in downtown are very high and the viewing them was amazing. It took a while to find a parking space, which was expensive by the way, but eventually we did. The weather was much cooler then in Sacramento, we took our warm clothes and walked along the coast. We went to pier 64, where there were a lot of restaurants and stores. In the center there was a big, two-story merry-go-round and my youngest daughter took a couple of rides on it. We enjoyed the music, including the street musician that played on his guitar very well. When we got hungry we went to Leonardo’s Pizza to eat. From the restaurant window we could see the marina and many white boats swaying in the ocean. We went to the end of the pier and saw the small island settled far away from the coast, but still visible. I heard that in past times there was a prison, on the island, and nobody could escape from there. The view of the sunset was amazing, the sun’s light reflects on the oceans’ waves. We were standing there and watching while the sun was moving closer to the horizon. We bought some souvenirs from the local store and went back to the parking garage. We’ve never been in San Francisco before and our first trip there was unforgettable for all of us. We got a good impression from the city and brought nice memories from our trip.

My most recent trip 100 miles away was to San Francisco yesterday, I went to drop of my brother’s in law family at the airport, after we left them in the airport, I had time to enjoy San Francisco with my husband, we went to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and Yerba Buena Park; a beautiful public facility with trees, flowers and water falls fountains and small cafes such as serene island in the middle of the downtown, San Francisco is a city where you can see the modern architecture in contrast with old antique and beautiful Victorian style buildings, we were walking around the streets enjoying the spontaneous artists like musicians and singers on the streets and the city was plenty of life with a lot of crowded people all around the streets, the weather was amazing and at the end of the day, we took dinner in a very good sea food local restaurant.

My most recent trip of more than 100 miles was almost one year ago. I decided to sell my car to my uncle. He live in Denver, Colorado. It was in February 2010. He asked me to bring the car to him. I thought it is a good idea. I took some food, clothes, and went to my friend to borrow a GPS. When we met, he said that he wants to go with me and he even will pay for return ticket. We left Sacramento at 10pm. At the beginning everything was great. We talked a lot, told stories to each other, and had a lot of fun. When we reached Utah, snow storm started. We did not have chains and the tires were completely worn out. It was really hard to drive. My friend started to panic. Many times he said that he had better stay at home. He told me that we have to stop and wait until the snow storm is finished, but I was stubborn. I drove 25-30 MPH for about 500 miles. It was a big interval of icy road. In a small town we bought cables for tires, but they were little bit big and they tore just after 20 miles. After that, we removed them and continued to drive. I thought that ice on the the road will never finish. We saw about 50 car accidents during that trip. Also, heater in the car did not work, so it was very cold inside of the car. When we passed about 1200 miles, we reached uncle's home. Our trip was very stretched in time. I was really tired, I had never completed 1200 miles without sleeping before. I outdid myself. The next day I slept for about 16 hours. I had not had analogous trip in my life before. It was a terrible maybe even dangerous trip.

My most recent over 100 miles trip was going to north Lake Tahoe from Sacramento, CA. My grandparents and I planed and took our trip for only one day. Our trip to Lake Tahoe was for thanksgiving. We stared our trip on Thursday morning at 8:30 am it took us about an hour and a half before we got to our destination. It was very interesting to ride through a fresh pile of snow from a previous storm. The thermostat in the car showed 10 degrees Fahrenheit, I guess that was the beauty of been in the mountain during winter time. The fresh snow attract many people for indoor and outdoor activities for example, ice fishing, skiing or snowboarding, an old fashion sleigh riding, snowmobile ride and tour to Tahoe National Forest. We were meeting the rest of the family that morning for the celebration of thanksgiving. Since we drove a smaller car we did not wanted to take a chance by going up to the top of the mountain instead we were picked up by large 4- wheel drive SUV so we can join the family. The preparation of a big turkey and smell of a fresh baked cake in the oven made it impossible to wait for early dinner feast. In the meantime we played board games, we had appetizer, and drank wine. Finally everything was ready and we all said a few words about what we are thankful for and enjoyed our wonderful mail. By far this was the best thanksgiving trip for me.

The most recent trip of more than 100 miles I’ve had was in Napa Valley. It was in June when my friend from Florida visited me. We stayed there just one day we visited the Castello di Amorosa. The castle is situated on N. St. Helena highway in Calistoga. The streets there are so beautiful that you just want to walk and admire everything around. The Castello di Amorosa is surrounded by vineyards so we had a tour that included the castle and hiking around the vineyards. We also tasted some red, rose and white wine with bread cheese sticks. After visiting the castle we had dinner at one wonderful Italian restaurant. We had a wonderful time we took a lot of picture, I was impressed by the nature and how green it is there. It’s like a different world and totally opposite of America. Being there I felt like being in France or Italy or Spain it’s beautiful.

The most recent trip that my family took was this summer, in July. We went to Vallejo to Six Flags, Discovery Kingdom with the kids. We have purchased the season passes and where going there frequently this summer and most of the times we stayed there for a day and came back. The park usually opened around 10 am, and we would get there around that time. We would have breakfast on our way to the park. Once we got there, we went to the kids section first, because my boys were very excited to have some fun. My oldest one would ride on the different rides and roller coasters while the younger was just watching everything with the excitement. Then we would have lunch together. Numerous times, we would meet our friends there and spend some time together. Also, we would always find some time to go and to watch some shows. They have there a dolphin show, a tiger show, a bird show, an elephant show, killer whale show. All the shows were very interesting and it felt good just to sit down and enjoy the entertainment.

My most recent trip of more than 100 miles was trip to Los Angeles. It was in this January. My brothers and I decided to go to Los Angeles during the winter holidays for few days. Our trip started in Santa Cruz. From there we drove to the first highway and continued to drive along the oceanfront. This was a very wonderful trip. We visited various historic sites along the way. We saw a lot of sea lions near the road. Also we visited the Heart Castle. We drove through many other amazing places. For example there was sity near Santa Barbara. It looks like some old village from Denmark. There was a lot of old looking houses, a mill and even a horse-drawn tram. Finaly, we went to our destination. We was in Los Angeles for two days only. Nevertheless, we had big plans for these days. Fortunately the weather was wonderful. After a rainy Sacramento in sunny Los Angeles was just like paradise! In the first day we visited many places of interest. We rode the subway. It was interesting, but tiresome. And of course we were in Hollywood! As for me I would not want to live in Los Angeles. It is dirty, noisy city. I can describe this city as a bustling, traffic jams, crime, and also like “big village”. Although there are many interesting places such as Beverly Hills, Malibu. The second day we were in a restaurant and after that we went to the beach. Our return journey passed through Yosemite National Park. There was cold, espetially after Los Angeles. We returned to ours homes tired but happy.

One year ago my husband was called by our friend “A”. She had a problem with her son “C”. He is truck drive, and he was sick at that time. He was in Texas and couldn’t drive his truck. So my husband and father “B” of “C” went to the Texas. That road was about 2000 miles and that was real long trip. When they arrived the “C”, his father took his son’s truck, and his son “C” sat in my husband’s car, and they went back home. My husband said that was very hard trip because the “C” felt himself very bad, and it was miracle from God that my husband didn’t sick too.

Last summer I decided to go to Los Angeles with my family. We drove in my car It took 7 hours to get there . There stayed in the city two days. The first day we visited Universal Studios in a unique park , where we saw the past and present of empire cinema Hollywood. Universal Studio is divided into zones, as the topics of film, and their place of action. We spent a day and knew how to make films, knew the secrets of the tracks in the popular action movies, We watched a few shows and of course a ride in the steep roller coaster “Jurassic Park, “ “Shrek” and e,t,c. In the evening we visited the Avenue of Stars, where famous actors leave their autographs. There we walked into the night and then we settled in a hotel. In the morning we walked around the city, though the city seemed to me dull and muddy. In Los Angeles, we visited several museums , including the Art museum of the American Indians who lived on the south west of the continent, “The South West Museum” . “Museum, “The Natural History Museum”, which contains the best collection of prehistoric stone -age and glacial period of our planet. We visited a wax museum, where a collection of wax figures of famous Hollywood actors and famous people of the world. Then we visited the Beverly Hills a residential area where there are striking in their luxury mansions of movie stars and millionaires. On the main streets of this district - Rodeo Drive , Wilshire and Sunset, there are many shops, art galleries, antique shops. In Los Angeles we took a of pictures to remember our wonderful weekend and we bough a lot of souvenirs for ours friend and relatives. We were sad to leave but happy to go home.

My most recent trip was a trip with my family to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. It was our first trip in America with my family. On our way there we crossed over the Bay Bridge which we enjoyed very much because you can see a nice view of the Pacific Ocean. We also saw many nice ships that my children really enjoyed. Some of the entertainments we took pleasure in were visiting the Beach, going to different restaurants, and lastly visiting the amusement parks.

The most recent trip of more than 100 miles was when my family and I went to San Francisco, California last weekend. We went in the morning by driving. Although driving there doesn’t take that much time, it was still pretty fun. While we drove, my kids played video games and I talked to my husband. When we drove over Golden Gate Bridge, I was kind of worried because we were so high in the air and also on top of the ocean. The ocean looked so beautiful and clear. From the far, I even saw dolphins jumping around. By the time we arrived there, we were really hungry. We decided to go to a restaurant that was really close to the ocean. After we ate the delicious food, it was time to move on. We walked around and explored new places. We also shopped from stores. We also snapped some pictures by buildings. By the time afternoon approached, we decided to go this place that we heard was really interesting. The place is called Exploratorium and it is a huge museum. The museum was astronomical and surrounded by big trees. When we entered there I was amazed because there were a lot of people and exhibits. We walked around and tried the exhibits. Some of them were kind of addicting. There were also some historic stuff. After exploring in the museum, it was getting dark, and it was time to leave. We drove back to Sacramento. I think that the trip was fun and I hope that in the future we will attend on more trips.

The most recent trip of more than 100 miles for me was the trip to Germany six month ago. I've got there by the airplane. I hate airplanes, I prefer ships. But after this trip I can stand airplanes. There were several funny people sitting around me in the airplane. They were joking all the time and the time flow very fast. We got to Frankfurt-am-Main in nine hours. My friends were waiting for me in the airport. They took me from the airport home. When we got to Speyer (it is a very old city next to Mannheim) I was very excited because I used to live there long time ago. It seemed like I came back to the past. Everything reminded me that golden time. The streets, the old buildings, the language make me very happy. My friends were very glad that I came to visit them. We visited a lot of places that I have visited befor. They were amazing ones. I forgot about everything, I was just sinking in my memories... Before I left Germany we visited France. We went to Strassburg. We spended whole day walking on the very beautiful streets. We met a lot of people from different countries. We didn't want to leave this amazing city. But reality is reality, and we had to be back to our routine. It was was an unforgettable trip. It's a pity that it was only for two weeks...

On every three months, I go to Los Angeles with my family. Los Angeles is pretty far from Sacramento so we go by driving. It usually takes us about five hours to get there. The main reasons why I like to go to Los Angeles is because there is an ocean and the city is so beautiful. There are a lot of buildings and some interesting things. Another reason why I like to go there is because there are a lot of Armenian restaurants that always offer tasty food. In Los Angeles, it is always warm. Many people like to go see the ocean and others like to go to museums. Also people work in different places to make money. In Los Angeles, there is a big population of Armenians. Los Angeles is also famous for its actors. When we go there, we go see Hollywood, Beverly Hills and a lot of other beautiful places. We also went to see U.C.L.A, which is a very high class and popular university. We usually spend a week there and every day we find something special and interesting that we never did. Though it is very sad to leave Los Angeles when it is time to return home. I would say that it is a wonderful trip and we always go home with new emotions and relaxed. I think that Los Angeles is wonderful place to spend the weekends. I recommend that people should go to this city and discover themselves how great this city is.

My most recent trip was on day before my Birthday day, 25th October to Hot Springs at Lake Tahoe, and the next day to the beautiful San Francisco city. My friends invited me to relax by the minerals baths. We drove to Lake Tahoe more than two hours with joy company. After, we spent about two hours to take the natural mineral sources. There are one bath with hot natural springs with strong smell of sulfur in door and one big pool was outdoor with the same water, but lower temperature. Also there is small and cozy sauna. It was a very relaxing, marvelous and healthy time. We enjoy amazing and miraculous natural and wonderful sky and received a very healthy natural gift. The next day, I went with my friends to celebrate my birthday happy day to my favorite and incredible San Francisco city. We spent almost all day there. San Francisco is a very attendance and popular place. Many people can find too many things to do and see there. The whether was sunny and warm, so we could visited many amazing places, and have fun and great time. I was in a very good mood and I was happy to be around my close friends in the beautiful and pleasant San Francisco. Our day was finished in the Italian restaurant with delicious food. I had a great and fantastic time. I’ll remember that my birthday for a long time.

My recent trip that I made was to San Jose a year ago. I went there for about two days. I decided to go because there was going to be a concert of one of my favorite singers. I went to see Marc Anthony in concert. I went with some friends. We went just for two days because I had to work. We drove for about 3 hours to get there. We got lost, but finally we found the place. It was located in HP pavilion in San Jose. When we got there was a lot of people excited to see Marc Anthony. Everyone was dressed very elegant. We enjoyed every moment of it, it was a great concert. It lasted for 3 hours. The tickets were a little bit expensive but it was worth it. Then we went to eat dinner at 12 am when the concert was over. We rented a room for everyone and spend all night there. The next day we went to visit some places and then we head out to Grass valley to go home. It was a great trip even though it was just for two days. I would love to go again to San Jose and visit for more days.

My trip to Washington was a lot of fun. I went with my friends last summer. It took us 16 hours to drive there. I went on a big bus with a lot of people from a choir. We drove out early Friday morning at 4 a.m. We stopped a lot at rest areas, to play volley ball. One of the stops was very long, because we stopped to eat. The next day, we went to a park. The park was very green and had a river. We played games and ate pizza. After the park we walked through streets in downtown. We saw many different and interesting places. Later on, our friends from Washington, took us to their capital, Seatle. There I saw the space needle. We took a lot of pictures. On Sunday we went to the church. We sang with our choir. I sang with a group of friends. I played the piano for a group of girls. After church we had to go home. On the way back we stopped a lot to take pictures outside because the nature was very nice. We stopped to take a final picture, when the sun was going down. We stayed in Washington for 2 days. We returned to Sacramento, but we were happy because we had a wonderful trip. That was my last trip to Washington and I enjoyed it. I want to go to Washington again.
