My Personal History

By Alice Perez

My Home Town – Mission ViejoThe Holiday Season is famous for the “Four Corners” at the intersection of La Paz Road and Chrisanta Drive. The “Four Corners Holiday display” is 35 years cherished

religious holiday decorations in the City that captures the essence of the holidays and the spirit.

Also, the Mission Viejo lake is very popular too. Where you can fish, paddle around the lake on boats for relaxation and exercise, or swim and lay-out with friends and family.

My TravelsI traveled to Seattle, Washington for the first time last year for Thanksgiving to spend it with my sister and her family. It was cold and snowing upon arrival. The next morning we built a snowman since they closed the roads. History has it that it doesn’t snow in Seattle at least in a very long time. While visiting my sister and her family, the weather was cold during the day as it reached 26 degrees and at night it was 19 degrees. It was a beautiful trip nevertheless. Me, my mom, and my sister’s family went visiting a few of the many popular tourist sites which are, Public Market Center, famous stone image under the roadway pass. After Thanksgiving my niece was in her school band in the famous “Macy’s Parade.”
