Over spring break I went down south, to North Carolina. My family and I were originally just going to head up north for a few days, but I insisted on leaving the state. We drove around ten hours to get there, and I didn’t really mind the ride, it was relaxing. One of my favorite events of the vacation was on our way back home. We stopped in Tennessee for a few nights, and one of the nights, around nine, we found this huge really weird looking building.
We went inside to check the place out. It was really cool, but also pretty weird. There was a mirror maze. I went inside the maze and was immediately confused. Walking into mirrors, I tried to find my way to the exit. As I moved through the maze, the scenery and colors of the flashing lights changed around me. There was music blaring and I actually found the exit somewhat quick. Then after I got through the maze, I went into this little room that had a bunch of laser lights. It was like a spy movie! I had to travel through the room as fast as I could without letting any of the laser lights touch me! I felt like a little kid, but it was a lot of fun. After I went through that room a couple of times, I went putt-putting in a glow in the dark room. I am pretty sure that I lost, but I know it was a close game. This place also sold some pretty high technical wands. Two of my best friends, Becca Lank, and Lexi Kliza are really obsessed with Harry Potter. They love wands and everything magical like that. I really wanted to get one for each of them, but the wands were really expensive.
Another place I actually enjoyed is where I went for my cultural event, the Biltmore Mansion. Everything was so pretty there, and I took a ton of pictures. I loved it, even if it got a little boring at times, it was just so relaxing.
My parents wanted to go into so many Indian shops. I got really bored because every store sold the same exact stuff. I bought a few things, but other than that, I basically sat around until they decided they were ready to leave. The worst part about it too, is that half of the stores we went to were in the middle of the mountains with absolutely no reception for my phone, so I hardly was able to have contact with the outside world.
Overall it was a really relaxing way to spend my spring break:)
