Last July, my parents and I went to visit my aunt and uncle in Seattle, a city on the northwest American coast. Dad did some research and had no difficulty in finding us cheap tickets online.
On the day of our flight (飞行),we had to wake up very early. When we checked our bags in, we found that one bag weighed too much, so we had to pay a fine(罚款). After that, Dad insisted that we go and have some breakfast at the airport restaurant. We had a lot of fun watching many different people there. Then we realized it was getting late, so we rushed to the gate. It took one hour for everyone to get on the plane, but finally the door was shut and we were on our way!
I think what I liked most during our trip was our visit to Mount Rainier,which was near Seattle. It was nothing like I had expected. Before we left, my aunt lent us hats to protect us from getting sunburned, so I sup-posed that it would be very hot. Imagine my surprise when we drove up the mountain and I discovered the top was covered in snow and ice!
My uncle led us to a small path beyond the main road to increase our chances of seeing wildlife. We walked over a small hill, and suddenly be-fore us there appeared a field of snow. Small wild flowers grew up through the snow; under the snow we could hear rushing water-a small stream. Little animals stood still to avoid being noticed; tiny birds rose into the air. It was the most beautiful sight that I’d ever seen.
