I walked outside with my family and we got into the car and pulled out onto the road. We drove for four more hours, most of which was spent stuck in traffic until we reached the hotel where we would spend the night.
The hotel was large; it had an elegant front entry way, a pool, game room, two restaurants, and a grand ball room. At the front desk was a tall man in a black suit.
“Hello,” he said in a heavy Spanish accent. “Checking in?” My mom nodded and replied,
“We have a reservation under Williams,” The man clicked around on his computer then said,
“Mark and Lauren?”
“Yes,” He then proceeded to give my parents the room keys and tell them all about what the hotel had and things they would need to know etcetera. Jake and I sank into the couched near the desk.
Bellhops walked across the spacious room dragging suitcases and luggage carts, and guests stood scattered across the lobby. A wedding party entered the hotel. The bride was wearing a long gown with a train and the bridesmaids had on floor length red dress while the groom and groomsmen had on tuxedos. The group stopped for a minute in the lobby and looked around then walked off in the direction of the ballroom where I assumed they were going.
Finally my parents managed to escape from the long speech the man at the desk was giving them. They quickly walked over to us and we all strode over to the elevator. Once we got out at level five my mom and dad glanced at the sings and pointed us towards our room.
The hotel room was large. It was a room with a queen sized bed for my parents and a small kitchen and living room. We had also rented the adjoining room which had two more beds, one for me and one for Jake. I lay down on my bed and switched on the TV. Soon Jake joined me and my parents went outside on the deck to read.
After just a short while of watching TV I got up and went outside on the deck.
“Mom, dad, can we get dinner soon?” I asked. My parents exchanged glances.
“That would be fine,” my dad replied. The three of us went back inside and called Jake. Then the four of us gathered around the menu for room service. Twenty minutes later we were sitting in the kitchen eating dinner. At around 10:00 I went to bed. I had a hard time falling asleep, because first I heard sirens and then I saw a light outside my window. Everyone else was asleep so, although my heart was pounding I tried my hardest just to go to sleep. I knew if I looked and saw something, I don’t know what, but it probably keep me up all night thinking about it. I decided it would be best to wait and find out in the morning. At around 12:45 the light shut off and I heard the cars pull away, so I finally fell asleep.
