As I looked outside the lounge window, I could see my dad going back and forth to the car carrying a large amount of bags. I am only small therefore, I guess most of it was mum and dad's.
As I got down all by myself - getting great at climbing - I new exactly what was going on. The question was; where would we be going. I decided to make it easy on my dad. I stayed awake for as long as I could, until 1pm. As I slept I guessed that he finished packing the car.
I awoke at 3:15pm to see hands coming towards me. It was my grandparents, who I hadn't seen for a week! I said hello and goodbye in one wave of my hand as my dad put me into the car. We went to my mum's work and before you knew it, we were driving very quickly on a busy road.
It got dark very quickly. Due to my sleep at home, I wasn't tired. I sat looking at the rain and car lights outside the window. I didn't know this but, we were only 15 minutes away from our destination when I became grumpy. I mean; I had been sat in a car for just over 2 hours ... Surely both mum and dad were grumpy too!
As it was pitch black I still wasn't sure where we were. It was only when I was walking around the flat that I remembered. I was in the lake District! I think my mum and dad had hoped that I would be going to sleep soon however, being as excited as I was I couldn't sleep until 9:30pm. Instead I climbed on the sofa, the fireplace and I tried to touch the TV however, dad had constructed a barrier preventing me from doing so.
Dad unpacked the car and put most of the stuff away. Soon after a pizza man arrived with two soughdough pizzas; one BBQ chicken and the other pork. It was nice!
All of us, being tired, then went to sleep.
So the holiday has started. I can't wait for tomorrow.
