The Best Holiday Ever!

Last week, my family went to Taupo.
 First we packed  our  stuff and  we put it  in the truck, then off we went.
We stopped at the gas station my mum said to us “ go to the toilet”.  All of my family rushed over to the toilet I got there first.
My mum put in some  gas then off we went.
I was asking my mum, mum are we nearly there? then she said “one more hour”  I yawned  the whole way there because it was boring.
My mum yelled! “we’re here” I said “finally”. Next we went to the Hilton hotel it was the best hotel I have ever been too.
It had a swimming pool, spa pool and a tennis court. We stayed in the pool  until nine o'clock  then we went to the tennis courts. we booked it from nine o'clock  to eleven o'clock. I had lots of fun then it was eleven o'clock we had to go back to the hotel room because it was late.
After that we had dinner.
