Day 1 : Going to Ridgecrest

On October 20 my family and I were going on a trip to the Death Valley. We were going to stay there for 4 days. So my dad and I booked the Ridgecrest hotel and the Death Valley inn hotel on my dads computer. We were going to stay in the Ridgecrest hotel for 1 night and stay in the Death Valley inn hotel for 3 nights. After we all finished booking the hotels, my mom, my dad and I went to pack all the stuff we all needed to go to the place. Then we all got ready and walked to my dads car. We all got inside the car and drove from Benton street to G4 express way. (G4 means San Tomas express way) from G4 express way we went into 101 south highway. there were a lot of cars on the highway. my dad drove on 101 south for 28.6 miles and 25 minutes. from 101 south we merged on 152 east. we drove on 152 east for 41.1 miles and 42 minutes. It took a really long time. in sometime we went onto I-5 south. We drove on I-5 for 139 miles and 156 minutes.

Then we merged onto CA-99 south. The highway mostly had trucks on it. we drove on that highway for 22.5 miles and 26 minutes. then we merged onto CA-58 east, for 40.9 miles and 57 minutes. finally we merged to midland trail. then went on Garlock road and after Garlock road we drove to Redrock Randsburg road. from Redrock Randsburg road we merged onto US 395 north. Then we went to west china lake boulevard. Then we turned right and reached the Ridgecrest hotel, that we booked at our house. We all went to the check in desk and got our card. On our card our hotel number was 115. the check in desk person told us that our hotel is in front of the Walgreen’s shop. we all walked in front of the Walgreen’s shop and saw our hotel 115. We put the card inside the card inserter and went inside the hotel. The hotel looked really nice. After we looked around in the hotel, we went back inside my dads car and he drove to a nearby shop. inside the shop we bought bread and pasta. Then we went back inside the car and drove back to the Ridgecrest hotel. At our hotel my dad and I watched TV all the way to 9:00. Before we all slept off we changed our clothes and turned off the lights. then we all went to bed. we slept in bed for 10 or 11 hours.

Day 2 : Mesquite dunes & Going to Beatty

The next day, we all went to Roxanne’s cafe to eat our breakfast.  I ate cornflakes at Roxanne’s cafe and for breakfast . my dad ate omelet and my mom ate cornflakes too. When we all finished eating all the things that we got, We all went back in my dads car and he drove on 374 west, highway. He drove on that highway for about 57 miles. In 57 miles we made a stop at Panamint Springs. Then we all went inside a General Store and didn’t buy anything.

Then we went back inside our car and my dad drove all the way to Stovepipe wells on 374 west, highway. At Stovepipe wells we went inside another General store and didn’t buy anything again. After that we all got back into the car and my dad drove on 374 west, highway to the Mesquite sand dunes. My dad parked in one of the parking lots and my mom brought some water with us. when we went outside to the sand dunes we looked at a board to get more details of the sand dunes. After we looked at the board we went to the sand dunes.  the sand dunes were really huge!

me, my dad climbed the really big sand dunes and my mom took videos of them. It was super duper hot at the sand dunes. When we were all tired we walked back to the car and drove to Beatty on 374 west. It was a really long drive.

At Beatty we drove all the way to the Death Valley inn.  After we checked in we went to the family dollar.  We bought bread, nutella and the hummus spread. The stuff were 20 dollars. After buying those stuff we drove to the RV space station and got a few apples. Then we went back inside the car and drove to a nearby Subway shop. At the Subway shop we ordered our sandwiches. Then we ate them at some nearby tables. After that we drove back to the hotel. At the hotel I went to bed.
