Museum Trip Essay

As a freshman in high school I had only been to 3 different states, Michigan included. My family didn’t really have the money to take spring break trips to Florida every year, so I never really traveled all that much. The world was a mystery to me, all I knew was what I learned in school so far, which really wasn’t enough. My sophomore year I took a world history class. This class is what really opened my eyes to everything that I hadn’t seen. The teacher was kind of $famous to the students. She…

It was a beautiful Friday afternoon. The May weather was perfect, with a slight refreshing breeze. Excitement was in the air as we all prepared for the 23 hour drive to Colorado. This was going to be the trip of a life time for our family. This much awaited trip had everyone on the edge of their seats. The Thomas family loaded their white Ford Expedition, said a prayer, and headed down the road. The whole family felt like little kids again. We might have looked like hillbillies going down…

rugs. I am with my two friends and happy to be able to sing and act goofy with them on this car ride to Charleston, West Virginia. The ride down is going fine and all is good. I'm just a preppy white girl, living the dream, going on a church mission trip to satisfy my parents. I surely am not looking forward to having to work on some ratty old house that probably should be torn down, rather than be repaired. But here I am, riding down the road, lost and confused. We arrive at St. Marks United…

Big O Taxi Service Appointment I was a University of Nebraska at Kearney study abroad student in Spiddal, County Galway, Ireland from January 2014 to May 2014. Spiddal is a village located about 15 miles away from the City of Galway, which is located on the west coast of Ireland. The UNK study abroad students could not rent a car so we had to contact a taxi service in order to travel back and forth between towns. Many of us had never used a taxi service in the past and had to quickly learn how…

excited to finally go off to high school and ready to have an eventful summer. Luckily, as soon as I got out for summer break, my grandparents reveal to me that they were going to Northern Italy in about a month and they wanted to take me along for the trip. I was ecstatic to hear this news. This was going to be the great summer I had hoped for. About a month later we packed our bags and headed to the airport, with tickets booked for us to arrive in Milan at around eleven in the morning…

We began as I believe all days should begin; in the presence of the Lord. After a talk and prayer, we headed off; some of us on busses and some in cars. I had picked to go to the Food Pantry the Tuesday before, although I did not foresee any of the events that would happen there at that time. I had thought it’d be some gigantic warehouse with food stacked on shelves and we would have to move it out of there to an even more gigantic warehouse. This was not the case. There was much of this day…

A business trip took us to The MGM Grand in Las Vegas. It was a fantastic Travel Meeting and let’s hope what happened in Las Vegas didn’t stay in Las Vegas. Ricky and I were eager to return to the office and share. I have to admit though, that in between meetings, we did A LOT of sight seeing and if you have never been to Las Vegas, there is a lot to see….and hear. Think sensory overload. Ricky and I discovered the Guinness World Book’s LONGEST road… Las Vegas Boulevard. It goes AROUND the world…

Destin Florida is my family’s favorite vacationing spot, its white sand beaches, blue green water, and beautiful ocean front condos always kept us coming back every year. The trip down to Destin was only supposed to take 12 hours, but it took us 15 due to my father’s inconvenient misreading of directions. As we finally crossed the bridge that led into Destin, waves of excitement filled each of us. Our condo was massive it was 16 stories high and only 50 yards away from the water. We all left our…
