We left after my parents got off work one night. Our camper was all packed and we were ready to set off on our journey to New Mexico. Before we got to New Mexico we had to make a stop at my dad's cousin's hose to get the jet ski and then we were on our way to Ute Lake. We finally got there late that night.

Striking out across the open water was a bit daunting. Getting beyond the sight of land was unsettling, but I’m confident in my Capt’s skills and he knows what he’s doing. Looking over the side, the water was so clear that, although we were in 10-15 feet of water, it looked shallow enough to walk to the land.

Have you ever been on a vacation? Although I have not been on an enormous amount of vacations, but I have been on a few. Of the four to five vacations I have been on, the most favorable trip I have ever been on was when I was seven years old and my family went to Colorado. There, we explored the nearby towns, went dirt-biking, went on a train, and had some mishaps. We also stopped at some amazing places on the way there, including a huge museum in Kansas City.

I wanted to take that boat out and go tubing for the first time in my life. I was so excited that I even offered to blow up the tube by myself with nothing but my lungs, not knowing we had an air pump. Finally, after what felt like hours of begging like the annoying twelve year old I was, my dad said it was time to go. My sisters and I got our life jackets and wet shirts on, while my baby brother and step mom got on the boat, and my dad sat in the driver’s seat. My sisters and I were on the back on the tube, trying to find the best way to position our arms so we didn’t fall off. My dad turned the key to the boat and suddenly, my excitement turned to sheer panic. What happens if I fall off? What if my sisters fall off? What if there was a lake monster or a really big fish in the water? From that moment on, I was determined to stay on, so I held on to the handles for dear

When I was about 10 years old my family and I took a vacation to Florida to see my great aunt Linda. It was a 14 hour drive down to Florida which is a long time in the car. We were going down there for a week. For the first two days we went to Sea World in Orlando, Florida. I was very excited to see my great aunt because I have never met her before. I knew that I was going to have fun on this trip.

We finally docked to our first destination, Catalina Island. Stepping on the island was so surreal, the air was so fresh, the island scenery covered in green, and the houses were unbelievably beautiful. A group of decided we wanted to go parasailing so we all chipped in and got tickets to go. Four of us, girls, and other passengers got on this speed boat and sped off far enough to catch good air for the parachute. A couple of people were ahead of us so we got to see what we were going to expect and hear the people's opinion on how it went when it was finally our turn to go up. Gisselle, my roommate, paired up to go together and we were very anxious. We both got geared up and the boat started going to get some wind. We got shot off the boat,

After my trip to the Bahamas I knew that I was lucky to have to opportunity to be able to go on this trip with my family. Even though i had a couple of arguments while I was on this trip I very much enjoyed it. One day I hope to go on another trip like this,maybe even on the same

I slightly stood up to undo the wedge for a margin of a second, and the instant the cluster was disentangled, my chaperone had taken an abrupt turn at breakneck speed. Instantly, I flew out of the jet ski into the brisk water. I had forfeited my glasses to the lake and my life jacket seceded my body. During the instructional class, though, we were told to lie flat on our backs if we eject the jet ski. So, instead of panicking because I couldn’t see nor swim, I took the instructor’s word and laid flat on my back. Soon, my chaperone pulled up the jet ski alongside me so he could pluck me up and in, when usually the person in the water is supposed to grab on the ski and haul themselves up. This experience really helped me fluctuate the way I lived. Typically, in stressful situations like that, I would overreact a great deal, but since I listened to my instructor, I learned to not panic in adamant

My favorite vacation, so far, is one I went on in September 2015 with my friends Alissa and Jaidah. We all share fandom interests. On the weekend of September 19, my brother went away to spend his birthday with my dad. My mom shook me awake and informed me I could bring two friends along to a room in the Dells that we would be occupying. Almost immediately I thought of the duo. I ran downstairs and texted both of them while packing a bag. They texted back not too long after, and I told them my mom and I would pick them up anywhere from 10-11 that Saturday morning. We picked up Alissa and she tried to direct us to Jaidah’s house, but she wasn’t thorough with her

Last summer I went on a cruise The Bahamas with my family. This trip was very special to me because it helped me to come out of my shell a bit. While on the boat I experienced all sorts of new things. I would not have had a good trip if I had not been adventurous.

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.

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.
