My favorite vacation memory

My favorite vacation memory is this summer' memory! This summer I went to Minnesota by home stay program of  my university. This is my first experience to go foreign country without my family. So I was worried. But my host family is very very kind. I LOVE them so much. My host family members are, father, mother, elder brother, younger brother and younger two sisters. I play with girls and younger brother everyday. They are very pretty. First day, I said "I LOVE ice cream!" So they gave ice cream everyday! :D They took me a lot of places. Especially, I love The Mall of America! I like juicy couture. So I wan look forward  to go Juicy Couture in the Mall of America but the store was under modification.  So I could not buy things and I was sad. But the Mall of America is very huge! I was excited! This memory is very fabulous and wonderful! I cannot forget them. I LOVE them so much!
