The Sharks Journey

I was in Gatlinburg which is in Tennessee and I was there for about 5 days with my family. We were staying in a cabin on the Smoky Mountains that was about 3-7 miles from the city. This took place in my fall break from school.

When we were there, me and my family were trying to find a gift for my girlfriend. She said that she wanted a shark so I was on a journey to find her a shark. 

I took all of the photos with my iPhone 13. When taking the pictures, I tried to be creative. I took fun pictures throughout Gatlinburg and even at my house & at her house.

I made this project because Charlotte told me that she wanted to see if I could get her a shark. So I was determined to find the shark for her. After I found one I was giving her updates on where I was and where the shark was. 

What I enjoyed most about this was being able to see the smile on her face when I gave it to her. Also, seeing her dog with the shark was so sweet. I was very glad that I was able to find the shark.
