Road Trip

As Katie walked out of her last class before the break, could hardly wait to hit the open road. She was very excited for this Spring break, as her and her two roomates were taking a road trip to California. The three of them had been talking about this trip ever since the beginning of the year. Katie ran to her room to pick up her bags that she had already packed the night before. When she got to the room, her two friends were already there waiting for her. "Hurry up!" they told her "Lets Go!". Soon, all the bags were packed and loaded into her friends brand new convertible. An "early graduation gift" her parents had called it. They looked over the road map and and decided the best route to follow. They lived in Southern Colorado and were planning to make it to LA by tomorrow night. But tonight, they planned to spend the night in Vegas. Katie had never been out West  before, and she often thought of what it would be like to swim in the ocean and lie on the sandy beaches. The three drove all day and finally just as the sun was almost completely lost over the horizon, they could see the soft glow of all the lights in Vegas. They got to their hotel and checked into the room. On the bed, they found three tiny bottles of rum, a gift from the hotel. They all said cheers and took the shots, the first of many more to come. As the night wore on, the three friends continued to party it up. The next morning, Katie awoke in her room, unsure of where she was. As the events of the night began to come back to her, she couldn't help but chuckle. What a great night it had been. She got up, showered, and decided to join her friends for breakfast downstairs. She could smell the delicious fumes of breakfast cooking as she rode down the elevator. When she got there her friends sat at a table, already half way through with their meal. Katie ate her breakfast quickly, and one hour later they were back on the road. They were on schedule to make it to LA by tonight, to begin their well deseved break.
