Free Write: Arizona Trip


The ICC softball team is traveling to Arizona on Friday and I am really excited to play in the warm weather.  We leave ICC at 9:30 and head to St. Louis by bus to the airport.  We will arrive in Arizona Friday night.  We immediately will check into the hotel and order pizza before going to bed to wake up early to play our first game in the phoenix heat.  I am totally ready to travel to Arizona to play.  I just hate that the schedule of our time is so strict.  We play two games every day that we are there except for one day.  On our day off we are waking up early to go mountain climbing as a team.  Then we get a couple of hours of free time.  We can either stay at the hotel to swim and hang out or go shopping with some of the other girls.  Then later that night, we are going to a steakhouse.  The girls are all dressing up for the occasion.  It will be weird to see everyone dressed up instead of in the usual practice clothes or uniforms.  This trip will be exciting and will be a learning experience for everyone. 

Next year, we will travel to Arizona again.  This time we will stay longer and have more time to experience the new state.  On this visit we will be going to the Grand Canyon.  I am not really looking forward to this part of the experience, because I am really afraid of heights.  Everyone says that it is not as bad as it sounds.  There are railings around all of the edges and I’ve heard that the beauty of the canyon is worth it. 

I am so glad that I decided to play softball, because I get to experience all of this great and unique things together with a wonderful team.

  1. See your last sentence? I think that's the "thesis" of this blog. Be sure to include it early in your post and then work to support it.
