Personal Narrative: My Trip To Florida

Waving goodbye from the backseat of the car, as we pull out of my parent’s driveway. Looking out the window at the oddly, white shaped clouds. Thinking, I had never been away from my parents and my younger sister for so long, even though it was only for two weeks. I was excited and scared all at once, but I wasn’t too thrilled about the whole 29-hour drive there. Hoping that the trip would go well and nothing bad will happen to us.

This year’s family vacation was one for the books. With my aunt living in Tennessee, we do not get together as often as we would like so my family decided to go to Nashville, Tennessee. When we started our trip, it was 6 a.m. and it was nothing short of fun and laughter along the way. Never having been to Tennessee before, I figured I’d enjoy the eight-hour ride of sight-seeing and laughter with my family. When we were a few miles into the trip, the mountains of Georgia were breathtaking. While I was enjoying the scenery, another thing that I found enjoyable about this trip was the conversation that I had with my family. We went on talking about life in general, all the struggles, and childhood memories that we had. We even talked about years

When it was midnight, we loaded the car and drove through Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama. We stopped at a few places to grab food or gas. It was a long time, but it was worth it when we finally reached our condo. It was beautiful! We went to the balcony to see the ocean and it was crystal clear. The beach wasn’t crowded either. We hurried to put on bathing suits and sunscreen. Then we walked downstairs to the beach. The sand was warm and felt great. My sister’s and I ran to the water and

So my first two weeks at Florida Southern have been exhausting to say the least. One does not really know how flipped their sleep schedule is until they have to wake up early to drive to 8 am classes every other day. The bright side to these days, however, is that I end up making it home by about 11:00 am, where, beforehand, I might have even woken up at this time. I honestly don’t know what I expected from college, but I knew that the college that I planned on attending had a very beautiful campus. Living in the area, you always hear people talking about how world class architecture is located within the city. Florida Southern, along with Publix, and the location between Orlando and Tampa were the reasons everybody talked about

I traveled to Destin, Florida this summer. We went to the arcade were my dad played this game and said it was interfering with his controls so he couldn't win. Later, I played the same game and won a pair of beats!

The family stops to eat at The Tower for sandwiches. Grandmother enjoy a conversation with Red Sammy, discussing how it’s hard to find a good man, the old days and The Misfit. She received more conversation with him than she had most of the trip to Florida so far.

Have you ever taken the best trip ever? Well one day my parents decided to buy a trailer so then we could go on trips more often and not have to worry about forgetting something since it’s all there we all, were so excited. After we had gotten it My Mom and Dad told us we were going to go on a trip. My eldest sister Maddie was engaged and she wanted us to see what dress she picked, they said while we are on the road mine as well go to Lego land and that’s when the story begins. My family and I left on June 29, 2017, at 4:30 pm after my dad got off of work. We were on the road for seven hours, because of the trailer it slowed us down. We got to Utah around 11:30ish and went to McDonald's to eat. We had to drive to the closest Walmart because

In 2010 my family took a trip to Florida. We traveled all over the state to popular tourist sites like Disney land many beaches and other significant landmarks. Probably the most exciting place we went to was the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral. When I was 9 I was very interested in space especially the moon landing and how it was faked. Much to my surprise when I entered the Space Center there greeting people was Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin.

Once I was a boy, I know crazy right! When I was a boy I went on vacation. I know no one else does that right it’s crazy! So I went on vacation to Florida, a strange place to go on vacation I know but we did it! When we arrived my grandparents were at the airport and they drove us to where we were staying, a place… called Club med. When we arrived, we meaning me my Mom my brother Robert and my grandparents, took a tour of the complex, now prepare yourself for a lot of words. There were four swimming pools, three tennis courts, a trapeze swing a club, a smoothie bar a restaurant, an all-day buffet house, four hotels a guests only beach with almost albino white sand and water so clear you could see the bottom, and boats and paddle boards that

Mom said that she had something to tell us. She gathered us in the kitchen, she turned her phone on like she was taking a video of us. She said “we’re going to San Francisco to visit your aunt over February break! My sister and I were so very excited. My Mom told us to get our stuff ready because we were leaving the next day.

The morning hit, we packed our bags, and we left Las Vegas. Too bad the fun could have never ended but it did and we were headed home. The experience was very significant though because this was the first vacation my brother and I went on with my stepmother and it was the most fun we’ve ever had together. It made us become closer together and get along more. It made me appreciate everything I have because a lot of people can’t always go on vacations such as Las Vegas. I learned a valuable lesson that vacation, to not take everything for granted and live life to the fullest because you don’t know when your last day will be. I hope to go o a vacation like this again like when I went to the Grand Canyon but that another story for a different

“WAKE UP!” My brother yelled throughout the house. “TIME TO GO!” It was about 3:00 in the morning; the time I did not want to get up. My mom never told me what time we were going to wake up. Me, my two other brothers, and my mother were all going on this trip. Everyone was excited for the trip, but so exhausted and my brother had to drive from Georgia to Florida, which to where we want to go, took eight hours.

The road trip is a sacred rite of passage for many newly graduated high school students. I was so fascinated by the wild stories my older brothers and their friends told about their road trips that I could not wait to experience my own. Three close friends and I planned a short but adventure-packed trip to Miami, Florida. We had high hope for the long weekend.

Tuesday came around. On Sunday and Monday, I told all of my friends that I can’t do anything with them over the next two months because I was going to Costa Rica. They all had the same reaction I had when I saw the plane tickets. Jaws dropped, eyes wide, and hands on their heads. Even though we had an international airport in San Diego, we had to go to Los Angeles because that’s the densest in terms of the people that work with Mom. I dreaded long car rides. Mom said that it would be about forty-five minutes to get there, but as always, California traffic. I had butterflies in my stomach when I heard about the flight, just not the car ride.

Ever since I was a little girl, at the age of thirteen I have gone to the wonderful Fort Myers Beach in Florida. For some reason it hasn't always been only my family that goes to Fort Myers, many Angola families goes as well. This spring break is going to be very special though. Since I have grown up to a mature age my mom trusts me more than she did when I was little because I am older and more responsible. My mom and I love going to Florida especially this spot because not only do we get to enjoy the luxury of warm sunny weather, but my great grandma lives down there as well. I never get to visit my great grandma untill the one month rolls around and I get to see her during spring break. She Lives directly In Fort Myers but off the beach a little bit in a condo, so my mom and I get to stay with her. We wouldn't even be able to go anywhere if it wasn't for the invention of the airplane transportation. Of all the years my mom and I have gone to Florida we have not once driven. My mom and even myself have always promised that we will never drive because of how long it is. So once again we will be flying down for sake of time and efficiency. Usually when we arrive, we either have my great grandma pick us up, or most of the time just rent a rental car. I am super excited for a soon to be the best spring break ever.
