My Cousin Vinny

I was twelve. My family and I had planned to go to Vietnam in the summer. To see my friends and family, my grandpa who barely remembers me, and my aunts and uncles that make fun of how tan I am. I still loved them though. I couldn’t wait to come back. It’s been so long since I’ve seen them, and they’ve probably been missing me. It was a week before our trip. My whole family packing up. Dad getting the flight details situated. Mom packing up gifts for the family overseas. The last day of…

have had specific jobs in which over-employment was present and did affect my livelihood, therefore allowing me to assess the situation discussed in the chapter. I have had to work longer hours in order for one specific career to end and also completing long requirements that would take days before they were ever fully completed. For myself, the over-employment (although being allowing for a great increase in money) caused my life to change and revolve around the long hours that I was required…

am going to tell you about the East Coast trip. I very was excited for this trip as I would be gone from home for two weeks and would visit 3 states that I had never been to and florida. The first city/state I visited was Atlanta, Georgia this was my first time coming to Georgia. I stayed in Atlanta, Georgia for 3 days. The day after we arrived in Georgia we went to the Atlanta, Georgia zoo and saw there many species of animals. There were so many animals there that it would take to long to…

This is the story of my trip that I took for my 12-year-old trip. We went on a 5-day cruise to the Bahamas on the ship "Disney's Dream" also with a day trip to SeaWorld after the cruise. We flew out of Salt Lake on a Sunday and landed on a Friday, then We got on the cruise on October 2 and got off on October,7. The ports that we stopped at were so much fun. The activities on the Cruise were top of the line. Seaworld, hands-down the best animal exhibit ever. I definitely recommend this trip in…

When I was five years old, my family drove to our rural Texas vacation house for a family retreat. Including the time spent traveling, the trip lasted approximately two weeks. While staying in Texas, my family and I participated in various fun-filled adventures and activities throughout the countryside. Later on, when my cousins joined us, the vacation house was filled to the brim with young, energetic kids and tired, irritated parents. With a house full of mischievous children, the trip…

About 6 years ago my Shumway family had a reunion in Sedona under the red rocks and green leaves. This was our first reunion with every member of the family. We reserved several camp sites in the camp grounds and would gather in the dirt lot next to my family’s camper. My dad has seven sisters and one brother. Each of his siblings got married and had a few kids, blessing me with over forty-five cousins, just on the Shumway side. If you have ever seen my family, you know we are a rowdy bunch.…

When I was 9 years old my whole family, including my cousins, aunts, and uncles, went on a family reunion during the summer. Every year after school was out my mom, dad, my sister, and I would either go to India or my family from India would visit me here. This year my family from India came to visit us here, in America, and we decided to drive to Las Vegas. I know, driving to Las Vegas from Cupertino! We rented a big van and drove a long 10 hour drive to Las Vegas. When we arrived there we…

1.1 My family lived near Langley Park, so we went there often to shop. I consider my trips to Langley Park a big part of my childhood because the majority of my toys came from the now closed Toys-R-Us that was once there. I also remember shopping for traditional Indian clothes and food at the Indian stores in that area. In recent years, most of the information I have heard about Langley Park has been negative. For example, when I mentioned the trip to Langley Park, one of my coworkers said when…

The Adventures to Florida It was a hot summer morning, my mom was at work, while my dad was at the house purchasing plane tickets. I had no idea that we would be going to Florida this summer. As much as I wanted to be excited I wasn’t. It was a tough decision I had to make with myself because if I wanted to be on the volleyball team I had to stay and commit to volleyball camp. The only thing that really upset me was that our trip to Florida was on the same day as volleyball camp. Having to…
