Snowy Retreat

This past week most of our sophomores from MAD academy went to the sequoias to have a retreat. The lodge we were going to was called the Montecito Sequoia Lodge. We all met at mad academy at 7 in the morning on Wednesday. We all went through security and got ready to go on the bus. We took really nice air buses and they were super comfortable. We drove for about 2 hours or so then we came to our first stop and got lunch. I ended up going to Wendy’s with my friends. I got a freeze and chicken fingers. Wendys was super good and might be my new favorite fast food. Before we left we took a quick trip to the dollar tree store and got some funny stuff. After we ate for an hour we got back on the bus and got ready to go.

We bought dourages, candy and lost of really funny dollar store stuff. It took another 2 and a half hours to get to the retreat. When we got to the lodge there was to much snow that the road got blocked. We had to have a big snow plow car to make us a path to the lodge. We had to walk for like 20 minutes until we got there. We all turned in our phones to Dan and got checked into our rooms. My room had Max, Jake, and Logan. For dinner we had chicken and it was really good. The next morning we had eggs and potatoes and they were supper good. After breakfast we took a really long hike up to the top of the mountain that took about 2 hours. We took lots of pictures on top of the mountain. We all rented snowboards and got ready to snowboards. We made a really sick jump and Lukas did a really good backflip. The trip was overall a super fun trip and it was way more fun than last years trip. I feel really bad for all the people that didnt go on the trip becuase the snow was amazing. Thanks for turning in and I hope I do some cool stuff over spring break.
