This past weekend was so much fun! I took a ride to Staten Island to do a pizza tour with my family. _it_ was so fun seeing _them_ . When I arrived to   their    house, we immediately left for the first restaurant. As  we_ were driving there   they  told  me   all the about the pizza places we were going to since _I_ have never been before.

When _we  got to the restaurant we order a large pie for everyone to share. The pizza was so good! _It_ was the best pizza I had ever tasted (and believe me , I've tasted a lot of pizza)!

Next, _we  were off to the next pizza place. Again we order a large plain pie. After testing that pizza _we_ all decided that the first one was still our favorite.

Then we drove to the last and final pizza place. When we got there we ordered the same as we  did at all the other places; a large plain pie. I am not quite sure if this pizza was our least favorite because we were so full or really because it was not a contender.

After being stuffed to the brim of pizza we went back to play some board games and reflect on the wonderful day that we had. Boy do I love pizza, but something tells me I won't want pizza for a long time.
