My Family Vacation : The Hot, Humid, And Sweltering Heat

Improved Essays
The hot, humid, and sweltering heat that ran through out Orlando, Florida was all that people could feel. At some points you could actually see the heat waves rising. For as far as you could see, there were kids eating all kinds of sugary treats that were abnormally priced but the parents would do anything to keep their kids hydrated and happy in this heat. My parents were doing the same thing to my family that day too. We were there for an extended family vacation to reunite after years of not seeing each other.
My dad 's sister Kim and her family came the day after we arrived. They have not seen each other in about three to four years and this was a very emotional meeting for them. Two of her kids came with her, they were my cousins Mandy and Kennedy. They kind of look a like my dad and his sister, but they have different shades of skin tone. While my aunt still had hair, my dad had lost all of his. The very next day one of my mom 's sisters Jessica came with her family. She brought three of my cousins Lorenzo, Ja 'Vant, and Jan 'asya. We have always been close my family and theirs. My mother is older by almost a year and some months but she is the smaller of the two siblings. My auntie Jessica is tall and broad shouldered with a short cut hairstyle. My mother is shorter but also has broad shoulders and long hair. People always ask them are they twins. When everyone had finally arrived at the resort all of us decided to explore it, to see

    When I was about 3 years old, I can remember my Grandparents lake house in Houston, Texas. My parents and I lived there until my grandparents moved into the country 2 hours outside Houston. Before moving, I can remember my mother taking me out to the lake to feed the ducks and always telling me I can’t swim in the lake because it’s too dirty. I remember going into the kitchen to get juice and spilled it everywhere and was found cleaning my mess while cursing because I thought saying “Shit” and “God Damnit” would magically clean the mess. I would grab a stick of butter and sit 3 inches from the television while watching the Teletubbies.…

    From smelling the salty waters by the Florida Keys, seeing all of the green from the stems of green beans growing, the flavor of the freshest eggs you could get from the coop in the backyard, to the avocado tree growing in the backyard, my trip to Florida had become one of the greatest life experiences I’ve had yet. Visiting Florida taught me many skills on being independent, mentally, and how easy and fun it is just to be to yourself sometimes. It all started Christmas eve when I got home to find my presents from “Santa” there before we even went to bed. My parents had planned on taking a vacation to Florida for Christmas break to see my grandparents, but we were unable to also get my parents there.…
