Personal Narrative: My Family Beach Trip To Destin Florida

It was winter of 2010 during Super Bowl week. My family; Mom, Keith, Hunter, Alyssa, Eric, Lucas and I were driving to Minneapolis, Minnesota to have a family trip. Every year we go out of state to have a family trip. When we were in the car it took us almost five hours to get there and my legs were hurting so I tried to stretch my legs underneath the passenger seat to get rid of the pain in my knees. The ride was boring so all I did was go on my Ipod playing video games or listen to my music. When we got to Minneapolis, the leg pain ride from Oshkosh, Wisconsin was going to be worth it.

"Yes we are there," replied mom. It was nearly 11pm when we finally reached the World quest resort at Orlando Florida. My dad found a parking spot when we entered the resort. Everybody got out of the seat, but when I tried to get out from the car seat I cried, "Mom, I don't think that I can get out of my seat."

“Salmon Creek beach, it was a sunny and lovely long weekend in this paradise located in California, Butch Connor parked his car, grabbed his board and came into the sand facing the sea and ready to challenge the waves, he is an expert surfer.

Doesn’t a vacation with a beach,good seafood and lots of family activities sound like what you need?That's exactly what i needed before i went to Destin,Florida for the first time.And Destin is the perfect place for it.In Destin my family had lots of fun.We went to the beech almost everyday and it was right across from where we were staying,we also went shopping a lot,and hung out at the harbor and had great food.

I never thought I would make great friends that they would take me to Orlando. We stayed at Orlando for 3 days. 3 friends and I went to Orlando. We had and an amazing time there. We stayed at the gay lord palms hotel. The people who went there went me are my best friends, Will, Jordan, and Preston.

My dad got diagnosed with prostate cancer in early 2014. It was a hard year for my family, and I still remember it like it was yesterday. Not even in my worst dreams did I ever see my dad having cancer. The man that I looked up to, and loved to pieces had cancer. I was devastated, I remember crying and being afraid that I was going to lose him to an incurable disease that lurked the lives of many.

Since I was a little kid I love to play at the beach .For me beach its like a second home, I could spend half of my dayat the beach, built a castle from the sands, swam to catch the waves, or just simply sat there to wait for mr.sun came down after the whole day he was busy brighten up the world , by the way I did these activities after I came back from the school of course. i used to go to the beach with my mom and my dad, they taught me how to fish and swim without any lifevest for the first time. It took me a while to finally know the basic of swimming even though we lived near the beach. Furthermore, when I was a little grown up, ofcourse I went to the beach with my friends more often than my parents.

“Be sure to get a blanket,” the tour guide had said. Though it was around 95 degrees outside and there was not a cloud in the sky, I had doubted her. This trip to Florida had been a total flop so far, and I was already disappointed we had climbed aboard the shoddy Wildlife Tour speedboat instead of spending our day in the aquarium like I had been promised. There was virtually no wildlife to be found, and now I was freezing cold from the ocean breeze and high speed winds being forced upon me from the speed the boat was going. Obviously, this was a children’s tour because the only people on the boat besides the “captain” (as he called himself), the tour guide, and my grandmother and more, were young families with children that were between the

Prostate cancer: My grandpa had prostate cancer. He went to see his doctor after he found an abnormal lump on his neck. After going through Computerized tomography scan, ultrasound of the prostate and biopsy of the cancer tissue. The doctor diagnosed him with stage IV prostate cancer. The cancer has spread to other areas of his body through the lymph nodes. He gone through rounds of chemotherapy along with surgery to remove the prostate, and hormone therapy to help fight the cancer.

“Crisp salt air, deserted beaches, crashing waves and golden sunsets.” All these words describe the breathtaking and serene place that makes my troubles go away. Nestled right at the city borders of Laguna Beach and Newport Beach, Crystal Cove Beach offers almost 3.5 miles of pristine waters and stunning views. With easily accessible tide pools and historic cottages, this beach can be a popular spot for beachgoers throughout Southern California. However, on an overcast day, with no one around my best friend and I, an overwhelming feeling of peace and tranquility fills my being.

Starting this journey, Capt. and I knew we had friends to visit all along the Eastern seaboard and we were so looking forward to seeing them all. We spent time with friends in Wrightsville Beach and the next friends to visit are in Charleston. Before we even pulled in, I sent emails and track down my dear friends it had been too long since I had seen. We all still had to go to work so we planned to spend Friday evening together. It would be dinner and getting reacquainted. I wanted to show off our beautiful home so we planned hors d’oeuvres on the boat and then dinner together someplace they would know to be good.

Some would say, Bahamas is a beautiful place to go on a Family vacation. The weather, people and climate made it the perfect choice for my families’ Spring vacation. I was 11 years old at the time and I was excited after hearing the news about this vacation because it would be my first ride on an airplane as well as my first time out of the U.S. This would be the most unforgettable vacation I’ve ever been on.

I quickly got out of my parents car, got my suitcase out, and ran straight to Anna. I want to share with you the time that my best friend and i went to Ocean Isle Beach for a week.

There are certain memories that we have that we can remember like they happened yesterday. Many of those memories that have special meaning to me were of family vacations when I was young growing up with my brothers and sisters. Family memories are important to many of us because they take us back to a time or place that was special. One particular family vacation I remember vividly, and it’s a story I have shared with my kids on many occasions. Over the 40 or more years since that memorable vacation, I still smile and think how lucky I was growing up with a mother and father that did everything to give their kids an unforgettable memory.

My family has been looking forward to our annual beach vacation since last year's trip to Alabama. Although it has been a long, winding journey for two days, hauling through five states and having a personal concert in the passenger seat for fourteen hours, it was all worth it by the time we make it. Beach Boulevard is overflowing with giant houses, palm trees, stores, and thousands of other activities we are in a position to do. Everyone in the car is so antsy, we roll our windows down and breathe in the sweet, warm Alabama air. My eyes locked on my phone, I count down the miles until we arrive at our destination. Ten miles... Five miles... Three miles... One mile... Two-Hundred feet... “You have arrived at your destination,” Siri informs me. Pulling into the driveway, not a single soul waits for the car to stop completely. We leap out of the vehicle, hugging my distant relatives from Louisiana and rapidly begin sprinting down to the water. My friend, Kambri, and I are flinging sand behind us, with the wind blasting against our faces. Finally arriving to the ocean, we stand shoulder to shoulder along the shore, taking it all in. Silently, we listen to the continuous, calming crashes of water, allowing it to splash up our legs, for the salty breeze to blow through our hair, and the rays of the sun shine on our pale adolescent bodies. I have never felt more at home than I do right now, in this moment in time.
