My Most Memorable Trip Essay

Of all of the things that I remember from my childhood, my memories of visiting national and state parks are of my fondest. I remember everything from the games that my family and I played in the car, to stopping at a diner on Route 66. I could not pick one of the places we went to as my favorite because all of them seemed to have their own hidden beauties. One of the most memorable trips was when we visited The Grand Canyon, Carlsbad Caverns, Arches, Zion, and Petrified Forest. Before I get…

year, my family takes a trip to Vermont. My mom, dad, sister, and two dogs pile into the car at the break of dawn to travel. We take this weekend trip to visit our beloved grandmother, Mimi. It is always a pleasure visiting her, but the car ride is always so long. Miles after miles, there seems to be no end. There is only one thing stopping me from losing my mind during this ride, maple creemees. The taste lingers in my mouth the entire weekend, the taste of the cream as it melts onto my…

‘duck duck goose’, is all part of an experience that is important to me. These moments, which were part of a trip, are most memorable because they helped break down the barriers that come cultural shock. The lives of people in the outskirts of Santo Domingo are much different from my sheltered life in small Kansas City, so I had to accept it and learn from such a shocking experience. On the trip, it was very appalling to see the conditions the people were living in. It affected me heavily,…

Trip to Hundred Islands In the summer of my third grade, when I was eight years old, I remembered when my parents told me that we were going to take a trip to Hundred Islands National Park in Pangasinan, Philippines. I said “ Are you being serious?” I was shocked, but excited when they told me. I couldn’t sleep that night, I was too hyped and thrilled. I thought it was quite spontaneous of them to decided to go to this trip since they were so occupied with work. The night before, I researched…

the thought harder. How was I suppose to say that I wanted to go to four different states and try to convince my parents to move to one of those four states once we were there? Being the obnoxious kid that I was, I got my wish of a…

school, chores/errands, motherhood; and one I know a little too well is stress. I want a chance to relax and unwind, enjoy the scenery, refocus, and recuperate. My ideal vacation would be to leave all my cares and worries behind and fly to the picturesque country of Hawaii. My trip would begin with my husband coming home, bursting into my room like someone’s behind him with a chainsaw, waving plane tickets and yelling “Honey grab your things because we’re going to Hawaii”. Before he could…

Roadtrip Nation Roadtrip Nation began with four friends and one question: “What do I want to do with my life?” Upon completion of their college education these four friends were unsure about the career paths and life choices ahead of them. They knew there had to be more to life than just the traditional routes laid out before them, so they planned a roadtrip to talk to inspiring people to find out how they defined their own roads in life and came to do what they love for a living. Fast-forward…

I walked to the opposite side of the school to the 8th grade area, and I couldn’t remember where my classes were for the first week of school. Middle school was still nerve-wracking though, because it is that awkward in-between time in your life when you're not a child anymore, but also not a teenager, let alone adult. What didn’t help with my fear and anxiety over starting a new school was that my best friend in elementary school had moved away, and that made me especially nervous. However,…

around the globe. Known as the happiest place on Earth for adults and children alike, taking a vacation to or visiting many of Disney’s parks is a dream for many individuals, my family and I included. Unfortunately for me, my childhood memory of Disney World was less than phenomenal. The day we arrived at Disney World was most certainly a lackluster one. For starters, the weather was absolutely terrible with the air being unbearably hot, humid and sticky. Sweat was dotted along our faces; at…

so as to make the most out of the trip. The group did a great job together and had an enjoyable time as we were able to accomplish a lot of various and needed projects. The work we did was important along with the relationship we were able to build and we were able to show the love of Jesus to those in need. We were also able to learn more about the Lakota people and their values through different events…
