Over summer vacation, I was faced with the decision of making one friend happy while knowing it would hurt the other. About three months ago, in the middle of August, my family and I were sitting around the table enjoying that night's dinner. We were talking about everyone's day and what plans we all had for that evening. As our conversation continued, the topic of vacation came up. My family planned to go to Virginia Beach for a few days, and we were leaving that upcoming Friday. Considering we only had a week until we left, we all started talking about what we had to pack, and who was sitting where in the car. As I thought about it, I realized that my car had seven seats in it, and we were only taking six people. Jokingly, I mentioned how I should be allowed to bring a friend with me so it's more enjoyable for myself. My parents quickly shot that idea down explaining how they only bought one hotel room, and the vacation was meant to spend quality time with the family all together. I told them how I was just joking and we continued on with our dinner. Later that evening, my parents called the hotel to make sure our room was still available and nothing was wrong. They were on the phone for about an hour. I was really confused, so I asked them what was going on once my mom was off the phone. She had told me that the room they had originally bought couldn't hold anymore than five people, so she had to go to a different hotel and buy two new rooms that way we were…
The most memorable experiences I go through are spent with my loving family. I have one brother, one sister, and a brother-n-law. Of course I also have my supportive mom and my determined father. Growing up I learned that my family isn’t the typical family, but that definitely showed me that we know how to make life more exciting. Holidays are our annual get togethers where something exciting is bound to happen. Fun moments always pop up out of nowhere. Last easter my family on my mom 's side…
For this assignment I choose to write about a family vacation. This family vacation may not have been anything too spectacular to anyone looking in from the outside. However, to those who were fortunate enough to be part of the vacation, it meant everything. This family vacation story also shows how important family really is. In the 13 years that my husband and I have been married we have never really gone on a vacation, besides just going home and visiting family. However, in 2013 we…
Vacation Gone Wrong It was the summer of 2014, My parents, my brother, and I decided that we were going to spend our summer vacation out west. Our destinations were to be Las Vegas for fireworks, Hoover Dam and Lake Mead, and The Grand Canyon. We were going to fly from Saint Louis into Vegas, rent a car, drive to all of our destinations and return to Las Vegas to fly back home to St. Louis. This was to be a seven day trip. Our trip started off without a hitch, we arrived at the airport on…
possibly been one of the most exciting and entertaining days of my life. I’ve been wanting to get out of the house for awhile, and October break finally made it happen. My feet ached badly throughout the days I spent on vacation, but it was worth it as I went on several thrilling rides, ate mouth watering foods, and had an adventurous time exploring throughout the theme park. Then, at the end of the day in my hotel room, I looked at myself in the mirror. Anxiously, I was sitting at my desk…
This summer my parents were sitting at home on a boring sunday night while I was out with my friends. My mom texted me and said I need to come home soon because we were going on a trip tomorrow and my flight leaves around one. When my mom told me we were going to Gulf Shores, Alabama I thought it was really weird and I was not excited. I was actually really upset because it was towards the end of summer and I wanted to stay here and hangout with my friends. So the next morning my Dad and…
food. I had never spent my vacation on such a remote, peaceful, and beautiful island. The live band that played every night on the beach was phenomenal. The food had an astounding taste. I could hear the birds chirping in the morning and the dolphins whistling in the night. The feel of the breeze through my room window at night, made everything feel so magical. There was always something fun to. The banana boat rides, the hang gliding rides, the parasailing rides were all fun not to mention the…
When I think back on the places that I’ve been to in my life that I would never forget, the first to come to mind is Connecticut. Even though it is on the opposite side of the country it still feels like a second home. How it came to deserve such a title was from the countless times that I’ve been there. The amount of times I’ve been adds up to eight trips total. The trips I made when I was younger are a little harder to remember but none the less they all still matter the same. My dad was born…
I was born at a very young age into a family of explorers. I inherited a thirst for knowledge and new experiences from my parents, and they encouraged me to pursue this interest throughout my childhood. I am grateful that my curiosity was allowed to reach its full potential, which shaped who I am today. My family spent many evenings watching documentaries together. Many of my weekends as a child were spent going on trips to museums in Houston. Every time we went on a vacation, my parents would…
