My Experience In My Life

Improved Essays
There are many experiences in our lives which leave us amazing memories.

Life is full of unique moments; that can only be experienced once in life. Our busy lives they just pass by, and never come back. To learn how not to miss such moments we need to become practical and make decisions very quickly, we need to be open minded and be ready to improvise as the event occurs.

We decided to take food to the trip with us, having fruits and vegetables for the trip will help us avoid expensive restaurants and waste of time looking for a place to eat, we also took drinks and snacks to eat along the way and a cooler to keep the food cold and ready for the beach.

The day was cloudy and some of the hopes I had to see the event clear were getting lower but just the idea to travel to an unknown place was exciting enough to keep me happy.
We got to the beach and my dog Canela jumped out of the car ready to play and wander around the sandy roads and thorny bushes, after we passed the dunes we saw a huge beach with many people waiting for the same exact celestial show we traveled for, the sand was hard and the water warm, the clouds helped the air to stay tolerable and the moment
