Last Day Of The Trip

        I woke up in a sad mood that it was travel day, the day to go back to Colorado. On the walk to the Ferry I was soaking every last moments of being on the San Juan Island. Remembering all the great memories that have been created, not wanting to leave. Wanting to stay for another week although I was still thankful to have this great opportunity to get this chance. That day the sun was shining, unusual weather for San Juan. Inhaling the air while capturing a beautiful  metal view of this place one last time. Getting into the ferry I right away went outside with beautiful people surrounding me. Leaning along the railing admiring San Juan Island from the outside. Seeing all the boats crowding the island. After 5 minutes after the ferry took off most of the people went inside while I stayed outside next to my best friend seeing the view the most I can before we leave for good. We stayed out there for a good 20 minutes while the wind was blowing hard. Strangely I found out that I love the sound of wind blowing against my ears. After, the whole avid class was taking pictures outside with the town and the Friday Harbor sign view. We only took about 100 pictures, any last minute pictures as we could with the Town of Friday Harbor. Before we arrived to the Pikes Market I took an amazing nap on the bus. As we walked around the Pikes Market there was this horrible smell around some places but yet smelled like heaven in others. I was thankful when I received the 20 dollar bill so then I could buy items from Seattle. My friends and I were walking around trying to figure out what store to go to or what to eat. We decided to go to the first Starbucks but we only saw the outside because it was really full of people. Although it did look somewhat different from the other Starbucks, I liked it and though it was unique. I was dying to eat some Seattle food. something new, but all I ended up with was a tall S'mores Frappuccino from Starbucks. And no its wasn't even from the "first Starbucks", but was still delicious. I also bought 2 matching shirts with my friends. It was 2 for 14 so why not. It was exciting to  be at the airport. I wasn't ready to leave, about to shed some tears all over. On the plane I got the window, the best set you could get. I know, I got real lucky. I adored seeing  the view from the highest point. It was amazing, unable to stop smiling. Sadly, we landed to back from where we came from. I was super excited to tell the best story of my life to my family.

The last day of Vacation

       The last day on vacation was extremely intense in my mind do to the activities and actually talking to people. Of course in the morning we had risen for the day early to prepare for the trip back and make sure everything was clean enough. Since we had to make everything look good there was in fact a slight panic because we waited to clean. We quickly woke up and started cleaning packing and getting ready. As we prepared for the day we started to get yelled at for not being ready and still having a mess. We made sure we had all clothes and shower equipment. We finished packing all clothes and shower accessories and almost forgot something very important. We almost forgot the food/snacks. Since we finally had everything we had all left and headed to the ferry.
        As we headed to the ferry I ate some of my food and talked with Sam. We talked about some of the things that had happened over the week and how he felt with the week. We arrived at the waiting area for the ferry and everyone talked together some students engaged in conversation with strangers about the week and why we were there. We got on the boat and me and Adyn played our own version of Blackjack and gambled. The ferry ride since I was doing something was faster than the first time but not as natural since I wasn't outside with nature.
         We got off the ferry once we got to Anacortes and walked to the bus to get us to Seattle. On the bus I listened to music in my head but it was the same song since I didn't actually have music to listen to. Everyone talked and had fun sharing stories with friends. I on the other hand was alone and to myself trying to understand how the town and how everything worked with the shops and houses.
          As soon as we got to Pike's Market I started to talk to the other kids but still tried to understand the surroundings and how everything worked. From paint to pottery then jewelry then inside the center of the market wish honey fish and other seafood. When first entering there was two men dressed in an odd way but singing and playing two instruments for the crowd to try and get money. As we got to the pig statue we did a count off and the teacher gave us a small talk about when to meet again. They then gave us our money for lunch or whatever we spent it on. We then split up into groups to go explore the market instead of glancing at things as we pass by. After we finished the hour at the market everyone met back up and got ready to go back to the bus to head to the airport. Once we started leaving the market we began to walk through the large crowd of people and cars and started walking down the big streets in Seattle. We finally got to the bus after seeing part of the city and travelers throughout the walk. When we got on the bus I sat at the very back but around people since I was bored and they had interesting conversations and were funny.
          We finally reach the airport and do another count off after getting all of our luggage. We then entered the airport went through security and went to our gate.We at first had to wait and get our talk about taking someone where ever we went to be safe and most people left. After awhile I finally left with Sam and Jaiden to go get food. I got Mcdonalds because McDonalds is the best Jaiden went to get Chineese food from a restaurant and Sam went to get pizza like a few other kids. We then went back to the gate and I finished my food and then me and Adyn played more poker. We then got on the flight and went home.

Last Day ):

Our last day I felt very tired from all the things that we did. I did not want to leave because it was very fun and also did not want to come back to the cold weather in Colorado. What we did was kind of the same things we did on the first day but in reverse. Except when we got back to Seattle we stopped at pikes market. It was very crowded.Also it smelled so much like fish because it was next to the water and there were also many shops that were selling fish. When we got there we all got 20 dollars to go buy food. We were also able to go buy our own merchandise. I got a painting of Seattle, the painting cost $40 but the seller gave it to me for $20. After I bought it I went to a restaurant were they were selling sandwiches. After that we went  back on the bus to the airport. We were about 20 minutes early so then we got to go eat. After that we got on the airplane and left Seattle and got back to Colorado. The landing was rough but we still got there safely. Our parents where waiting for us where we go up the stair lift.

Our last day of the trip was an adventurous day. Sad to know that was our last day at San Juan but we all still had a blast. In the morning we got onto the fairy to leave San Juan Islands. On the boat drifting away from the island was a moment I will not forget. Seeing everything fade away in a far when the boat was drifting away. Seeing the beautiful ocean water and seeing it sparkle from the suns reflection was so amazing. I got to hang out with my friends and enjoy the amazing views. I would sit by myself at points just so I could take in the view. We all took photos to remember all the great times we had. Getting too Pikes Place Market had a bad smell to it. Like smoke mixed with gas. A lot of people were walking around. There was so many stands outside and inside of pikes market. I got to walk around with my friends and buy souvenirs. I bought a few souvenirs for my family and I. While my friends and I were shopping we got so distracted we lost track of time. Next thing we knew we had to head back with our Avid group. Getting on the bus to leave hit me hard. I was going to miss everything that I got to do on this trip. We got to the airport and entered the plane. We all settled into our seats and took off back to Denver. Looking outside in the plane was so gorgeous. There was a huge mountain that blended in with the clouds. I was so glad I got the chance to go on the San Juan trip and I definitely would want to go again.

Last Day

The last day in San Juan we woke up at 6:00 in the morning and getting ready to go to the ferry. When we got in the ferry we were doing are binders and playing cards and eating are breakfast. When the ferry got to Seattle we got in the bus and we were chilling and sleeping and playing cards. When we got to pikes market are teachers gave us money to buy lunch or clothes. When it was 12:20 we got to the bus and took us to the airport when we got their the line was so big we had to wait for a long time. Then the security was checking us so we don't have anything dangerous items with us. Then we stop to get food in the airport. Then it was time to get in the airplane. The airplane took off and we were playing cards and a lot of sleeping. When we landed to Colorado we were tired from the long flight and was so exhausting. When I got home I was tired and went to bed and felt sleep.

Last Day Of Trip :(

   On the last day of our amazing trip, we got to walk around the Seattle Pike Place Market for a hour. That definitely was a sad day. When we took a ferry ride back home all of us were playing card games, and took any last pictures we could at the island. After the ferry ride was done we got on the bus and took it to the Seattle Pike Place Market, we had a hour to shop, or eat. We have the best teachers so they gave everyone twenty dollars for the market. My friends and I spent to much time looking for souvenirs that we didn't get to eat at the market, so we just ate at the airport. But after having a fun time at the Seattle market and smelling all the fish and seeing a lot of art we had to go to the airport. The feeling of going to the airport wasn't the same as when we first got to Seattle. I felt more down, and tired because that's when I truly felt that the trip was over. On the plane my friends and I played uno for a while and messed around. After, we all fell asleep on each other the whole rest of the plane flight. As sad as I was to leave the island, it felt good to come home and see my family. This has defiantly been the best experience I've ever had!

Our Last Day

On my last day I woke up frantic. It was 6:47 and I realized we had to be out of the hotel at 7:15. I was the first one up so I had to wake Karla and Lidia up. Leslie knocked on our door so I opened it. Leslie and I woke Lidia up and then Karla. We rushed outside after getting ready. I was upset we had to leave it was a beautiful place and I knew I had to come back. We started walking down to the doc. Walking down was a weird experience because I knew I wouldnt come back for a while. I saw the places Ive become used to. We waited for a while and we finally boarded.
On the way to the airport we stopped at Pikes Market. It was a open air market. It was really busy and kind of annoying. I bought a picture and bubble tea. It was the first time I had drank it and I had a great time. The market was pretty loud but you didn't have to yell to be heard. Then we went to the gum wall. I was fascinated by the various colors of gum and the thickness of the wall. I added a piece of my gum to the wall. Finally we parted our way back home.
At the airport I still had energy left but to re charge I bought food at McDonald's and got a free ice cream. The airport was packed more than the DIA. Finally after purchasing my last souvenirs I sat at the waiting area and ate. After calling us on all my friends sat together. For two hours straight me and Lidia laughed until we landed. Landing reminded me how tired I was. Then seeing my dad and sister made me realize how homesick I was. I was glad to have a great experience with amazing people.
