My staycation – my exciting vacation at home!

This summer my family and I didn't go on vacation. We stayed here in Portland for a
"staycation" and had a great time. Our city is fantastic and you can do a lot of cool activities
here! Let me tell you what we did.
We went to Mount Tabor Park for a walk. It's on the top of a volcano. But don't worry, the
volcano isn't dangerous!
We also visited the science museum. You can learn a lot about science there. It has a really
great movie theatre, too!
We rode our bikes a lot. My brother and sister and I didn't travel by car for the whole summer!
My favourite place in Portland is the zoo. You can see over 2,000 animals there, from little birds
to big elephants!
In Portland you can do a new activity every day. It's the best place for a summer vacation or a
staycation!
