Summer Holidays

This summer, I want to travel to Orlando with my mom and dad. so we can go see my Aunt
in her new nursing home. I would love to go see the Sea World, where you can get to see all types of fish. I even want to see the actual ocean, and let my brother meet a shark (that's a joke!!!) It better be a very great summer vacation anyone could hope to have, ever. I want to be able to swim in the water and make sand castles. There are alot of friendly dolphins at Sea World. I started to read and learn that ocean water gets foamy and red when you put blood in it. So that means that the shark will come faster for you.
