Jakob Lucas Creative Writing, period 1 3/31/15 “Favorite Place”

  My favorite place to be has to be a little town, named Georgetown, up in the Colorado Mountains. I understand, there’s no place like home. However, this place feels like a second home. It’s so nice and relaxing there. When I went there, it was the midst of June. My father, my brother, and I were on a road trip through the states to go and see the Grand Canyon, and finally Las Vegas. Here in Chicago, it was about 80 or 90 degrees every day that June. However, as we made our way closer and closer to our destination, the city life started to disappear, and it got more rural. It also started to get cooler and cooler. We stopped off in Georgetown, as our car was left there for the night, due to an accident that occurred. It was snowing so hard, you couldn’t even see to the top of the mountains that were no more than a thousand feet from our hotel. While there, we had a delicious breakfast, and watched movies such as Full Metal Jacket, and Iron Man 3. Leaving made me sad, but happy to know that this peaceful little town exists. One day I hope to return, and scale those mountains.
