My Plane Ride by Garrett Frazey

            One exciting morning, my brother and I drove over to our friend Bret’s house.  It was his 16^th birthday and he wanted to invite us on a fun trip.  He had decided to go to Monterey, which in itself would be fun, but the best part was the way we were getting there!  When we arrived at his house, we immediately left for the airport.  We were traveling by private plane!

When we arrived at the airport, we walked right up to the plane which was waiting for us.  The small plane was sleek and clean.  It was kept in very good condition and looked comfortable inside.  The pilot and copilot gave us a short tour, showing us the bathrooms, drinks, and food.  When we sat in our seats we noticed that there was a table, a television, and that our seats moved in nearly every direction.  “Look,” yelled Bret as he opened a small box by his seat, “Candy!”  We soon found out that each seat had a small compartment that held candy, gum and a deck of cards. This seemed to be the beginning of a very entertaining plane ride.

After take-off, we decided to enjoy the food that was provided for us.  There was fruit that looked and smelled delicious – cantaloupe, watermelon, honeydew, and grapes.  It tasted extraordinary.  The pilot pointed out the Grand Canyon, and other places we might be interested in seeing, out our windows.  Our individual televisions showed the speed of the plane and the temperature outside.  To my surprise, the temperature outside was under 0 degrees Fahrenheit!  After what seemed to be a very short time, our plane landed in Monterey and our exciting adventure had come to an end!
