My 2nd trip to Phoenix, Arizona, USA

I arrived in Phoenix very late at night.  The next day, I went to Target and bought a Lord of the Rings Lego set, and my brother got a Star Wars one.  My set was Shelob and Gollum's cave.  I am reading the books, "The Hobbit,""The Fellowship of the Ring," "The Two Towers," and "Return of the King."  The set came with Gollum, Frodo, and Samwise Gangee.
The next day we went to Sedona, AZ, where there are lots of red rocks and mountains.  We went on a hike to Cathedral Rock. My mom thought there was pavement but stepped and fell in the water!  It was actually a creek covered dirt and leaves. HA HA HA! Very Funny.
On Thursday, I went shopping - very boring.  Except I went to Toys R Us and a games store.  Then I went to a Mexican restaurant and made my own guacamole.  It was AWESOME!  We had fried ice cream for dessert.
On Friday we went to Whole Foods and I got my favourite foods - pepperoni pizza and sushi!
On Saturday I went a Lego Store and I played Lego games.  It was Lord of Rings "The Battle of Helms Deep" and I'm usually Aragon.  My favourite game is where you get to fight the Ura-kie.  I went on a train ride at the mall and played in the playground.
On Sunday, I met my cousins Zion, Zoan, Chazaq, and Tzadik.  We went to AJ's Mongolian BBQ and made our own stir-fries and had ice cream and floats.  Then we went to their house for supper.  They have a pontoon boat and live on a canal so we went for a ride.  We also ate Thanksgiving Dinner (for USA).
The next few days I did some fun things.  We went a trampoline park called "Jump Street" and I did this cool thing where I went up and down a ramped trampoline over and over again.  I jumped on a trampoline into a foam pit.  They also had an obstacle course, maze and bouncers.  I went to an indoor playground park as well.
We also traveled to Goldfield Ghost Town by the Superstition Mountain.  We went in an old mine and took a tour.  We learned about how miners lived in 1893.  There was this thing called the "Honey Wagon" that went up an down the mine for when people had to go to the bathroom.  Sometimes the "Honey Dipper" would steal gold and put it in the wagon.  Gross!  We rode a train around the town and went to a Mystery Shack.  There was a chair in the shack that you couldn't get up off normally.  The whole house was tilted.  There was a ramp that was opposite and a pool table where when you rolled a ball, it always up to the top left pocket!  It was tilted the opposite way.  That night we went to San Tan Flat, a western restaurant where you can dance and eat outside by your own fire.  There's wood you can collect to put on the fire and old saddles you can sit on.  We ate and then made s'mores.
On my last day we stayed at the condo most of the day and went to the pool.
I had a great trip!
