Yellowstone National park

I have traveled to many different places in the U.S. like Washington D.C., Colorado, Nashville, and a few others but the one place that affected me the most was Yellowstone National Park. My trip to Yellowstone was quite a few years ago so some of the details of the drive up there and what we did are a little fuzzy but what happened that first night in the hotel and the events that …

…affect me until a few years ago when I was talking to my mom about it and I realized that if she wouldn't have woken me up when she did I might have not woken up at all. This fact really scared me and because of this it makes me realize how valuable life is and that I should be grateful for every morning I wake up. Need to review commas and maintain verb tense.
