Their parents told them they could choose between?Massachusetts?and?Arizona?for their vacation this summer. Emily has always wanted to visit?Boston, the capital of?Massachusetts.

If Emily and Zach went toMassachusetts, they could spend a few days at the beaches on?Cape Cod. Emily loves body boarding, and Zach is great at body surfing. They both enjoy building sand castles with their mom and dad. ?????? Zach finds learning about Native Americans wonderful and has always wanted to travel along the Apache Trail in?Arizona.

Their parents love hot weather, but Zach and Emily do not really like to sweat. ?????? How will they ever decide to which state they should travel? If only they could take two trips! 21.
