For my story I chose somewhere I love to travel to, aspen. It’s my favorite place. I go every year with so many friends and family. I’ve been going here since I was young, my favorite thing to do here is ski. My mom started taking my sister and I here when my parents got divorced. We always go with all her best friends and their kids. It’s my favorite trip of the year. I love the time I spend here because of the bonding, fun, and laughs that come from this big family trip. I also love to ski because it is something that forces me to continually push myself to get better and improve. This place holds many memories and I will forever love it. My favorite hobby to do here is to ski. I love the feeling of going fast down the snow with no restraints. I love being in Aspen. I love the crisp air, the snow everywhere, the lights wrapped around the trees, and everyone is just happy together and happy to be there. Being there is my favorite time of the year, I love being with everyone who comes with us. And I love the big parties my Mom has where lots of people come over and I get to see my friends and just have a fun time. I’m so glad I have these memories of being with all my friends and family and that I get to experience such a beautiful town. I will forever love going to aspen. It is my happy place.
