Jellyfish and Donuts

I used to always take a trip with my parents when I was a little kid.  We would go to Mosquite for one night, then Anehim, California, for nine days, then we would go to Las Vegas for three days, and then we would drive home.  One year in particular I remember very well.

We were in California, and we went to the beach.  I was in the water with my mom, and then I wanted to leave the water because I felt something wrap around my leg and it suddenly started to hurt.  Once I came out of the water, I realized that I had been stung by a jellyfish.  We immediately told the lifeguard, and nobody peed on me (thankfully) but they did put vinegar on my ankle.  After that, I had a mark there for almost a year after I got stung.

After we came back from California and went to Las Vegas, we stayed in the Excaliber, which was my favorite hotel there.  We went upstairs to the food court area, and there was a Krispy Kream donut shop, where you could look in through the window and watch people making the donuts.  There was a lady in there making chocolate donuts, and dipping them in the chocolate.  I gave her a thumbs up, and she gave me three free donuts, one for me, my mom, and my dad.

It was definitely one of my favorite trips and it was something that I will never forget.
