A couple of years ago my family and I went on a vacation to the Great Smokey Mountains. About ten minutes into the trip we got hit by a motorcycle and it completely jacked up our car. We had to get a rental car which was a piece of crap with the smallest engine. We were delayed a couple of days because of the accident but it was finally time for us to leave. A ride that should have taken five hours to get halfway took us nine whole hours. When we finally got to the hotel they would not even let us swim. That really ticked me off so I went swimming anyway. The hotel manager got really mad and kicked me and my family out; we had to sleep in the van. When we woke up it was about ten oclock in the morning my dad became furious because we were supposed to leave at seven so we could get there earlier. As we left the hotel parking lot we went to McDonalds for breakfast. We had terrible service, they messed up our order four times not to mention the restrooms were the nastiest looking most horrible smelling restrooms you could ever imagine. We finally left McDonalds and had clear sailing for about two hours until there was a car accident. We were at a stand still right in front of a gas station but it was not too long before my Dad decided we were going to find another way to take. We ended up getting lost in the middle of nowhere and there was nothing within a mile away then the unthinkable happened we ran out of gas!!! We started to push the car toward the nearest gas station when there was a miracle. A guy pulled up next to us and happened to have two gallons of gas and he sold them to us for two dollars each.

As luck would have it we ended up in front of all the traffic from where the accident was. They still were not letting people through so we ended up saving time. We finally got to the cabin in the mountains where we meet my Aunt Sandy and Uncle David and their kids Michael, Sean, and Carly. We had dinner and went to bed. The next day my Aunt Barb came and we went to a river ride. Me and my cousins Sean and Michael went in her BMW convertible and listened to G-unit and Ludacris. We finally got to the river and rented are tubes and went down the river. Sean was scared because there were water snakes. We hit some rapids and I fell off my tube and lost it. At the end of the ride I was all scratched up from hitting rocks because I did not have my tube. We went to dinner at the Alabama Roadhouse which is a restaurant named after some stupid Country band. The next day we went to climb the mountain it started out being real easy but then
