My vacation to Wildwood was pretty cool.  It was only 2 days, but it was cool anyway.  My mom, and sister went and my friends Jason and Rebecca went with their mom.  We went swimming at the ocean.  The beach was huge, it seemed like it was literally a desert until we reached the water. 

After we went swimming, we went swimming in the pool at our hotel.  The water was warm.  When we were done swimming, we got changed and went to the boardwalk.  When we were there, we went on some rides and played some outdoor games.  After we did that, we  went to the arcades. 

It was a lot of fun and we had a blast.  After that, we bought some tickets for rides.  We went on some roller coasters.  We went on a lot of rides.  I don't know the names of them, but they are pretty cool. 

One of the things we did go on was something called Launch Pad.  The Launch Pad is something that you're on these trampolines and you get strapped with bungee cords and when you jump, you jump really high, like 3 times your height.  We had a lot of fun, but the only thing that stunk was that when we went to bed, the beds were really uncomfortable.  I could not sleep for a while, but I tried to bear with it.  It was raining out and the power went out. 

It started to get really hot in there and we were hoping the electricity would be on.  The next day, the electricity was back on.  We got up and went out to eat.  After that, we went back home and got ready to go to the beach again.  When we were swimming, I think Jason made a new friend, and we found some clams that were dead, they were gross. 

We also sometimes felt like crabs were biting us, I think we were, I'm not sure.  One time on the top of my foot, it felt like it got stung, I don't know why

We went on more arcades, rides, and watched 3D movies all day, that day was the best. We went on these awesome roller coasters that went upside down and did twists and turns and everything like that.  I also went on this 3D ride thing with Rebecca.  It was ok, but it wasn't the best.  I could sometimes see two of one thing and the movement of the chairs and water spray wasn't really that good.  When there were rats, there were wires in the bottom of the front of the chair that actually whipped my legs, it left a mark. I actually don't recommend going there. 

I also went on a ride called Zombie World, it isn't really good, in fact, it stunk, and it was so fake.  They don't really come at you.  I also went to this one mall place and I was at an arcade there playing games.  Some old lady also had drawn me on paper and she did drawings so perfect that I thought some of them were actually real, but they weren't.  I really enjoyed this vacation except for sleeping in the hotel, it was so uncomfortable. The first day I was in bed, I slept on the couch bed, the couch turns into a bed and that was so uncomfortable and it was springy. 

The last day I slept in one of the beds in her room and it was more comfortable than the bed from the couch.  It was hard though but it was still a little more comfortable.  I also have an arcade downstairs and it was pretty cool.  It had a pinball game based on the movie Independence Day.  I loved that pinball game so much that I just kept on playing it. Well, That's all for talking about my vacation.

My Vacation Trip To Wildwood, New Jersey

Roller coasters are fun rides to go on at some parks.  The wooden ones don't go upside down because they are not metal, so they won't be able to stay on the track if they go upside down.  Metal coasters do go upside down and they do all kinds of flips, twists, and loops. They are fun.  I love any type of steel coaster.

I think the wooden ones are boring. The tracks don't have enough of a grip on the track for the coaster to stay on it if it would go upside down. I go on roller coasters and they are fun. I would go on any roller coaster I can imagine. 

One time, I was on a roller coaster, and I almost fell out. I almost fell out because of the harness was on my lap. I went down a huge hill, and the harness was loose.  Roller coasters are coaster cars joined together and it is on a track.
