Zoe and her friend Mila want a weekend trip. They look at a big map. They have two good choices.
The first choice is a small beach town. The bus ride takes two hours. They can swim and eat fish tacos.
The second choice is a lake cabin. The drive takes three hours. They can rent bikes and see mountains.
Zoe likes both places. Mila likes both places too. They talk for a long time.
"The beach is closer," Zoe says. "We can leave early and come home early."
"That's true," Mila says. "And I love fish tacos."
They both laugh. Zoe writes the beach town on a card.
"Let's go to the beach this time," she says. "We can visit the lake cabin next month."
Mila nods and smiles. "Sounds like a plan!"
They pack their bags that night. Zoe puts sunscreen and a hat in her bag. Mila packs a book and her camera.
On Saturday morning, they get on the bus. The bus is warm and full of people.
Zoe looks out the window and smiles. "Two hours to go," she says. "I can't wait."
