Personal Narrative: My First Family Trip To Destin, Florida

Improved Essays
We went on our first family vacation! We went to Destin, Florida and to Pensacola, Florida. It was so amazing! All we did was relax the entire weekend. The best part about it was that the trip was very spur of the moment. We did not Plan for it at all. How cool is that? I never just get up and go so to us getting up and just going on our trip was very adventurous to us. I packed us up a few belongings around 9:30 on a Friday night and we were on our way to Florida. The Kids were so excited about the trip and I was too. I was probably a little more excited than they were because we were finally getting a new scenery.
The first night it took us about four hours to drive to Destin, Florida. It was the longest four hours. It was a nightmare once we got to Destin. Almost every single hotel room in Destin sold out at that time of night. After driving around for a bit over an hour of searching and searching for hotel rooms we finally found one at a resort. The resort was very alluring. There was all sorts of things to do there. They had good food, and had extremely comfortable beds there as well. We were all exhausted from just riding around in the car for all that time. So we decided to get some rest for our next big day. So that morning we woke up, and I guess since everyone else was up getting dressed that meant I had to get out of the most comfortable bed with the softest pillows to get dressed as well. If it was just me by myself I could have stayed in that bed the entire weekend. We ate a delicious complimentary breakfast that was given to us by the resorts excellent staff. I like to go sight-seeing a lot so we walked around and let the kids play some of the activities they had for kids to do as well. Once they finished with the activities we left the resort and drove back to Pensacola, Florida. Which took us about an hour and a half. Probably took us a little longer than that because we sat in traffic for a while, but the view was

On our last day I had planned for us to go fishing. We love to go fishing! So we went searching for a bait shop and could not find one bait shop that had any fishing bait. After driving around some more, we finally found one with some very friendly folks. They suggested a few good fishing spots for us to go fishing. So we tried our luck and it was such disappointment. We didn’t catch anything but a cold. Even though we did not catch anything we really enjoyed just spending time with each other so that’s all that mattered to us. After a few hours of catching absolutely nothing, we packed our fishing poles and headed back home.
Our family vacation was awesome! Next time we go on our family vacation hopefully I can plan to stay for an extended stay. At least for about a week if not longer. I really enjoyed the beach, all the positive vibes, and all the diversity that Florida offers. Next time we plan to visit Orlando, Florida and Miami, Florida. I’m really looking forward to our next trip to Florida. Our spur of the moment trip was everything to

    I will never forget the time I went on vacation to Florida because of the experience I had with my family on the greatest vacation ever.

    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.…

    Christmas break in my opinion is probably the second best brake that we have throughout our school year. The main thing I like about Christmas break is how long it is. But even though I like how long we are off school it's almost like we don't have a break because basketball takes over. We get a few days off but the rest of the days are hitting the gym early in the mornings for two to three hours a day. The days I have is the best thing in the world because I get to relax and do something fun for once.…
