Dear Mom and Dad,

Wouldn’t it be fun if we could visit Orlando, Florida again? The cold depressing winter would be left behind and we wouldn’t have to worry about wearing coats, sweatshirts, or pants for the rest of winter. Plus, the hotels would be heated if it was cool outside, and if it were to warm, we could soak in the hotel’s pool.

Reason number one is the excitement of burying our heavy winter coats away. If we stayed in Florida from winter to spring, we’d more than likely be able to wear shorts the whole time, and that would be a nice feeling. Not to mention that a lot of traveling tourists stop there in winter to get a summer feeling again. For now, let’s consider packing.

Reason number two is the activities are alot of fun. For example, visiting Seaworld; who doesn’t go to Seaworld while they’re in Florida?! Another fun activity is going to the beaches in Florida and taking a dip. When the scorching sun of Orlando is hot, it feels like one hundred degree weather, so it’s nice to take a dip. The greatest time I had was swimming at the hotels, because they were heated and we relaxed there at night. Then the beds we slept in were insanely nice. The hotel even had a restaurant, so staying there was convenient!

Reason number three the BIGGEST REASON OF ALL IS THE SPORTS AND THE WAYS TO KEEP ACTIVE! The baseball was fun considering it was kids against parents and we whooped you. The fishing was fun because we caught bass dinner. Football was fun because it was tackle, so it was great. It was great fun.

In conclusion, you see my desperation and I know you wouldn’t want to see me cry. So, I appreciate your Kindness. Let’s start packing tonight.
