Manzanita Beach-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
I had never seen such a beautiful house in my life. Inside, there is only light and happiness. There is no negativity. Looking out from the window and seeing the mighty Pacific Ocean. I cannot take my eyes of the reflecting ocean and the vibrant sun shining down on it. I am sitting on the porch drinking ice cold water stress free. My family and I wake up early and grab some delicious breakfast before we take off for Manzanita Beach. As we are driving, all I see is a sea of tall, green pine trees surrounding the street. Every time I look out of the window, I see something new that nature has shared with me. Then, I look out to my right and I see the intimidating Pacific Ocean. It is breathtaking and I could not keep my eyes off how huge …show more content…
We went to the beach everyday while we were there. My cousin and I tried to boogie board but the water was too cold. The beach was overwhelming. There was not a better view in the world than what I was witnessing. My family and I took many walks along and I would skip rocks and would think to myself “I want to live here for the rest of my life.” During the sunset, I went down to the beach and took pictures of the sunset. This was my first time seeing a sunset on the beach. It is indescribable. Looking at the sun descending in the distance over the ocean is an amazing …show more content…
We cooked up some teriyaki chicken with rice. We played a game of Buy, which is a card game similar to Gin Rummy, while waiting for dinner. We brought the telescope outside and look straight at the moon. The moon seemed so close I thought I could touch it. I could not stop staring and seeing the light reflect on water. We also saw Jupiter in the microscope and could see the planet in great detail. After dinner my uncle and I walked down to the beach. It was dark and there was no light but I could still feel the ocean. I heard the waves splashing and that was the only noise around. It was so peaceful and calming. The beach house in Manzanita was a life changing experience for me. All my stress left my body and I found a safe haven. There was not one moment when I thought about school or any other problems I had. Every moment that I spent there, I will cherish it forever and ever. I only stayed there one night but it felt like one month and I got memories that will last me a lifetime. I thank Manzanita for the memories and the house every single day. This is an experience that I will cherish for the rest of my

    The flicker of a lamp powered by a dimly lit lightbulb flashed in intervals onto the cracked concrete path. Scattered shrub shavings, dried pine needles, and petrified insects encrusted the crevices left in between the cement squares. The long and narrow path led up to a strong yet aged wooden door that stood at the foot of the house. The house held nine people, three cats, and many tribulations to come. At first glance the house might’ve seemed ordinary; it had five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a laundry room, living room, kitchen etc.…
