As soon as we sat in the rental SUV car, I knew that this trip was going to be an exciting one. But our dog, Beamer, still needed to come inside. My mom carried him into the car because the step was too high for him to jump. He entered licking my face. I held out my arms and my mom delivered him in my arms. “Hey, that’s not fair! How come he gets Beamer first?” Anvi complained. “You can switch in the middle of the drive,” my mom said. My dad revved the car engine and my mom opened the door and came in. And we were finally off to go to California. I thought finally because we left at around one pm. This was because we didn’t even know which rental car we were getting until they delivered it. The black SU was not one of my favorite cars, but it was spacious and it was a seven-seater so it’ll have to do. I grab the blanket that mom had placed for us and wrapped my legs under it. Beamer snuggled in next to me. I quickly fall asleep. I am awoken to Beamer licking my face. “Finally awake sleepyhead?” My dad asks. I just groan in response. “Ready to watch a movie? Because we didn’t have Friday movie night yesterday” Anvi says. Instantly I am awake. “Where are we?” I ask. “We are all the way in Virginia!” Anvi excitedly replies. “So, how about that movie huh?” We watch the Nut Job. It is basically a movie where squirrels have to find food for the winter, and a previously naughty squirrel, named Surly, becomes a hero when he is willing to sacrifice himself to take out the bad guy. However, he doesn’t actually die when he goes over the waterfall. He survives and washes up on a stream on liberty park, while a squirrel named Grayson takes all of the credit. After the movie, we finally reach one of our parent’s friend’s houses. We let Beamer out there and we crash there for the night.
