Journey to France

I look up at the bright stars above, well at least the ones I imagine. I live in New York, you never see the stars. I've always dreamed of seeing the stars dazzling above me. I've only probably seen them several times. I'm standing on my balcony looking up at the black, dull sky. I love New York but sometimes I wish all the lights and sound would just turn off so that I could live in peace and see what this huge city was like before man kind made into the big Apple. I could probably see the stars then. I walk back inside and looked at my tall mirror. 

Brown hair and brown eyes, tan skin and a curvy body, that's me, Grace Rider. I walk over to my bed where my mac book and Iphone 6 lie. I pick up my phone and saws that I had 2 new messages. I look at the new messages that I've been sent. One from Mum and the other from my best friend, Max. I open the message from mum, " Dinners ready in ten, love:mum". My mums is in the same house as me but we still text each other because our apartment is so huge. " Ok, thanks, be there soon" I reply. I make my way down the stairs and smell mums ( or should I say Maria's cooking). I walk in to the kitchen to find my twin sisters, brother and Dad sitting at our large dinner table. I sit down next to Dad when I look over to see the excitement on his face. Whenever my dads excited its often something extremely boring, so I wasn't expecting anything wonderful. Just as I'm about to ask dad, mum comes bursting into the room and shouts/ screams " We're going to France!!"

My brain does this dumb thing and blanks out for a second, France? OMG, I have always dreamed of going to France and seeing the Eiffel tower and going sight seeing. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. My sisters, Lily and Violet jump up and scream while my brother, Cameron shouts " Hot French babes, here I come". The excitement in the air was contagiousness enough that I didn't punch Cameron in the face for that comment. 

" Okay, Okay settle down you four" shouts Dad. We all sit down in our chairs and shut up." Your mother and i have decided to go to France to visit your great Aunt" explains Dad with a huge smile on his face. It must have been years since my Dad has seen his Aunt, I mean the woman raised him from the age of 2, so shes practically his mother. I look over to my parents, mum has a huge smile on face, well a bigger smile than usual, and Dad looks really really happy. Cam and the twins look ecstatic and, well I probably have the goofiest smile in the history of stupids smiles throughout the ages. Summer Vacation was going to be great.
