Suggestion
On Friday, my cousin and I went to the National Museum and went to the top of the monument with the gold symbol of our nation's spirit. When we arrived at the zoo, we went to the store to buy some food to give to the animals. After getting the food we went to the night shelter where we saw birds and reptiles that only come out at night.
At that time, my mother and Della went shopping, we went to an antique store and I tried on some old hats. We went home in the afternoon, which was the most pleasant moment with my family that I have ever had.
