We all jump in and my dad puts the foot down. I love the noise it makes it must scare people it’s that loud. As we arrive at our apartment my mum jumps out of the car looking as though she has just woken up. We all just quickly unpack and then jog out of the hotel room as fast as possible without looking silly. So I jump into the car first at the front so my mum has to go in the back; I hate the back of the car.
My family and I head for my dad’s friend’s house, it is meant to be big he says. As my family and I arrive there were all wowed by the size of it, he says it is 2,560 square feet. Instead of heading inside he comes out to us, and he is moaning about how rubbish the Ford Mustang is. So I and my dad just keep arguing back with him in a joking fashion.
I ask if I can go inside and play with Elliot on the pc and show him my computer skills he laughs and I laugh too. I sit down next to Elliot and I yell in an American impersonation voice “Was sup Dude”. It makes him roll on the floor with laughter. He then asks me if I want to give him a game on Counter Strike Source, so I say “Hey Why not” we have a quick couple of games and then I look at the time and it is five o’clock. I hurry downstairs to my parents and tell them the time they don’t really seem very interested, they seem more interested in talking about the currency exchange rates. I decide to raise my voice a slight fraction so they can hear me a bit better. They finally heard me thank God so I tell them about the time and then my dad says in a questioning voice “do you want to go to watch a baseball match Chicago White Sox versus Yankees?” I start to think and then I eventually say “Yeah” in a voice that says if I have to.
We race to the stadium and we win obviously because there in a large suv and we are in a Ford Mustang. I start bragging jokingly about how we beat them to the stadium and then my dad looks at me with an evil stare as if to say shut up Mason. I walk inside the stadium to find our seats, it’s quite hard to explain just how big the stadium is its absolutely amazing, try and imagine a large football stadium like Manchester United and then double it and then double it again.
The game starts and I’m not very familiar with the game rules so I’m quite puzzled as to why the referee keeps blowing the whistle every time the thrower throws the ball at the batsmen. The Chicago White Sox are losing 3-0 and it looks as though there is no chance of them winning what so ever. My dad’s friend who’s name I still don’t know seems really upset and then says to my family “do you want to go shopping at Macy’s?”
At this time it is about nine o’clock and we are all really tired but as we park in the Macy’s car park I ask “so where is Macy’s?” Because it doesn’t look like there are any shops here. And then he points out this huge building with a huge Macy’s sign, I feel very stupid. The building is enormous it is about the same size as Harrods. I am very shocked at the size of it because I suspected that it would just be like our Broad Marsh Shopping Centre.
By the time have finished shopping it is nearly twelve o’clock and the shopping centre is just about to close. We all rush out and then I remind my dad about the flight tomorrow to Mexico because we only came to Chicago to see my dad’s friend and do some shopping but to be honest I think I would prefer to stay here in Chicago then in Mexico.
So it seems as though my time here with my family and friends has come to a end and so I must say “God bless America”.
