An adventure

        The best thing that has ever happened to me was a house boating trip to Lake Powell, AZ. It is a beautiful place with high red rocks structures on either sides of the lake. The first day we got the houseboat and started a journey that would last a week. That night we found a resting spot after having fun with the jet skis that we rented also. The second day we had traveled further and found out that some of the best places to park the boat for the night may not be the best spots. On the third day we saw Rainbow Bridge which is a natural structure that has fromed over the years. it is more than seventy feet tall and has a spand of about two hundred and fifty feet. The third day we got stuck in the mud when we woke up that morning and we there all day until the late afternoon. A rescue boat came and got us out of the mud and we had to refuel the boat which happened to be right next to the place that we got stuck. That night we parked the boat again and had some relaxing time to spend with the family. The next morning on day four, we got stuck again but it was in a small rock that didn't let the boat move. A private boat came and got us out and we continued to the last stop which was perfect. The last night we stayed in the best spot of the week. It had a two foot section then it dropped of to eighty feet when you were in the back of the boat.Then a storm came in causing ones of the lines to have a lot of tension. My dad went out into the beach and piled sand on top of the anchor to give it more weight. The next morning the boat slid right off the place that we were parked when we pulled off. The last day was all travel back to the marina to return the boat. After we got to the marina we had a long trip back to the airport  in Phoenix, AZ. It was a long five hour drive back to the hotel before we got onto the plane the next day. On the way to the hotel we saw many storms that were in the area and many beautiful rock structures that we saw. I will miss the trip and I hope maybe some day our family can go back there again in the future. This is considered one of the best adventures that I have taken for a whole week.
