</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> When I was ten years old I lived in Salinas California.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> I went to Sherwood Elementary School.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> At the end of fourth grade, the teachers organized a camping trip</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> to the redwood forest. I was very excited and wanted so much to go</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> to the two week trip, that I pestered my mom for permission. I did get</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> permission but I had to come up with the eighty dollar fee on my own.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> I worked two full weeks picking strawberries to make enough money. I ate </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> more strawberries in those two weeks than I have in my entire lifetime.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The day before the trip, I packed everything that was on the camping gear</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> list. The departure date came and I was off to summer camp. I was so excited.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> We arrived at the camp three hours later. I was awed at the size of the</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> trees.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> I saw things I had never seen before, banana slugs, giant redwood trees,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> crayfish at a nearby stream, I even saw a real live bear.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> We swam in the pool. We went hiking in the woods. We made bonfires</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> and sang at night. I had so much fun! It was my best vacation ever!</div><br />
