SICK RIDE

It was a sunny and breezy day. My grandfather traveled down from Philadelphia to go fishing with me. It took him five hours to get to my house.

Right before dawn, my mom woke me up early.
“Wake up Tyson.”
I woke up and got a shower and put on my clothes. Grandpa and I headed out around six-o’clock and got breakfast at Wawa. I got an egg, sausage, and cheese sandwich. We got to the dock and parked in the parking lot. We then went to the shop and bought bait to help us catch fish. It was a pack of neon yellow fish. Grandpa told me that since it glowed

We put our stuff down inside the boat. There was a flat screen TV and had a concession stand inside the boat. We waited after thirty minutes till the boat went to the estuary part of the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean. One of the crew members passed around either stinky dead fish or slimy squid.

We took a break and sat down on the booths inside the boat. Grandpa took out the bait that we had bought at the store and struggled to put it on the hook. I got hungry so grandpa bought me a hotdog that was inexpensive. I devoured it down and watched a little TV while doing so. The Olympics were on. I regretted eating that delicious hotdog because then I felt really sick. I sat on

    It was not an easy task to get a squirmy little girl to hold onto her mom or one of her aunt's hand to walk across the bridge without her saying, “No I can do it, I am a big girl!” We sat out our chairs, got our fishing poles out, and finally put a big fat squirming worm onto the hook. After a while no one was getting a bite and there was no fish in site so we took a break and ate a smelly peanut butter sandwich with barbecue chips. After eating we were all relaxed but then moved to a different location to where the older men were at on a dock. We tried once again there to fish and soon enough my niece was screaming with joy screaming, “MOMMY YOU GOT A FISH, YOU GOT A FISH!”…
