My experience during the semester holiday

During the semester holiday, My family and I went to the garden centre to buy some plants and
seeds for our
garden. It was a sunny day when we went there.
When we arrived, we had to find a place to park because the car park was packed full of cars.
We managed
to find a place to park eventually but it was a tight squeeze and we had to be careful opening the car’s
door to
avoid banging the other cars. After that, we went into the store looking for some seeds and buying some
peas,
carrot and lettuce packets. We then went to look at the plants and mum chose a planter full of flowers.
Finally, we paid for all our purchaces at the checkout counter before finding our car.
We really enjoyed our trip, especially when dad said we could buy ice cream from the van in the
car park. It
was great.
