Personal Narrative: My First Day In Las Vegas

It was the last day of school. Everyone was excited for the summer to begin and the parties to start. You could smell the hot summer heat and the blacktop burn. I had just gotten off of school and was headed home when i got a phone call. My mother had asked me”are you ready for the summer son, we are taking a road trip across country”.
