Descriptive Vacation

“I’m going to leave as soon as Christmas dinner is over. I’m anxious to leave.”

I put on a pair of jeans and walk downstairs into the dining room, there was a plate with frijoles, chorizo and tortillas waiting for me. My grandmother brings me my favorite drink, homemade chocolate milk. I sit down and across from me is my cousin Lesly. She was bored, she always was.

The day has come, finally my very first vacation. I got up with excitement and I remember looking out my window and seeing how the sunrise was spreading across the sky. I remember my mom calling my siblings

"En ese momento pensó en lo bueno que sería tener la fuerza de Mamá Elena. Ella mataba así, de tajo, sin piedad. Bueno, aunque pensándolo bien, no."

First, we checked out my Uncle’s new house. It was a big, white house with a big backyard. They had a very cute dog who loved me! I made a new friend that day. Then, we all went to my Aunt’s house with my grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, and some of my mom’s friends from high school and college. The second I walked into their backyard, the smell of hotdogs and sausage hit me like a bullet. Everyone greeted me with hugs and smiles. There was a pool and a cute little dog named Zeus who was sleeping on the deck and snoring. I swam for a little and then I talked to all of my relatives that were there. The food was absolutely amazing! I had a bunch of hot dogs and sausages with salad and pasta salad. For dessert there was yummy chocolate cheesecake with strawberries that my aunt made, which was even more delicious than the main

It was the last day until I was on break for two weeks. I woke up feeling excited as I ever was in my whole life. I was going to see my family in Mexico and I was going to stay there for the whole two weeks! I was a short seven year old that was this was going to be his first time ever leaving the country, in fact it was my first time that I was going to take a step out the state of Georgia.

Yes! I am almost there! It is landing. I hear the wheels coming down. The moment when the wheels touched the ground I felt the airplane shaking and vibrating.

The best trip I have ever went on was when I went on my family vacation to Orlando, Florida. We went as a huge family, as in my dad’s side of the family, I went with my grandma my grandpa my aunt and uncle my two cousins my mom and my dad and my two sisters and a brother, only to meet up with more family. We had went in the middle of June and were going for a week, we took a plane there and back and stayed at a hotel for a day or two.

The only sound that filled my ears was my keyboard clicking as my fingers raced across it. I had been procrastinating from finishing this assignment all evening, but I knew I needed to get it done. The burning sunset was shining through the windows as I was finishing up. It was a peaceful silence, until I heard the soft whispers of my parents that ignited my sense of curiosity. I was concentrating hard; doing my best trying to make out the hushed words that were being spoken.

“Your parents are in the process of moving, it is time for me to go now. Enjoy your new life.”

Most people that have gone to Orlando for holidays, ended with good memories. I’m not the exception. The resorts, the parks, and the restaurant make Orlando the best place to enjoy for the whole family. My last holiday with my nephew in The Wall Disney World Resort was the best time of our life for my family and me.

“But aren't you going to miss Nepal?” I asked her with a confused, and a serious face.

As a child, the ocean charmed me. After glancing at the never ending shore line’s going from coast to coast as far as the eye can see, I felt like a grain of sand on the beach. I never thought I could see anything else as immense and alluring. As I relaxed on a lawn chair soaking up the rays of sunshine in Alabama, my friends froze in Iowa from the early stages of spring still bitter from the past winter. During my family vacation in Alabama many memories were cemented into my mind as I soaked up the radiant sunshine on the blistering beachside chair.

My family likes to take a vacation at least once a year to a different place we’ve never been before. We’ve gone to places like Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. One of the things that makes it possible to do this every year is that we drive to our destination. This past year we didn’t know where we wanted to go we were struggling to find somewhere we would all be happy. At this time it was the middle of the winter and I was itching to go fishing and I knew that this trip would be around spring break so I wanted to go to a well known fishing area and start the season off right. I had always wanted to go to the Lake of the Ozarks because I knew that the fishing there was good and it was in driving distance so I suggested it and my family went for it. I was so excited and was imaging in my mind how great its gonna be to visit this place that I’ve wanted to go for a long time. Little did I know things almost never turn out the way you want.

“Bye,” Mom and I said as we stood and watched as my Dad got further and further from us.
