Personal Narrative: Where Are We Going?

After breakfast I went to my cabin with Z and we got changed into our swimming suits and we went to the swimming pool. It kinda sucked. It was a salt water pool, so when the waves rocked the boat the salt water rolled toward me in a wave and I had the taste of saltwater in my mouth.

Growing up with a father in the military, you move around a lot more than you would like to. I was born just east of St. Louis in a city called Shiloh in Illinois. When I was two years old my dad got the assignment to move to Hawaii. We spent seven great years in Hawaii, we had one of the greatest churches I have ever been to name New Hope. New Hope was a lot like Olivet's atmosphere, the people were always friendly and there always something to keep someone busy. I used to dance at church, I did hip-hop and interpretive dance, but you could never tell that from the way I look now.

After all of that we we’re getting on the plane. We found our sets and sat in them and buckled up we were ready for our flight. Were on a plane I was really excited about the trip, when we took off it was going down the runway faster and faster then all of a the sudden the plane was going up off the ground then we were in the sky floating forward. Then the plane was going fast whenever I looked out the window everything on land and not in the air looked tiny it was an amazing site from up above. It felt like we were flying with the birds.

It was the day after my sister's Quinceanera, and all my family was here. They were leaving back to their homes Monday morning, so keep in mind it is Sunday. All of our parents were talking outside and saw that us kids didn’t really have anything to do, so they decide to take us to a river that was 5 minutes away from my aunt's ranch. We packed up all our food and stuff and went right away.

I was on a rickety stained ship. I was not very excited,because I got sea sick. I was with my family on a trip to Bermuda,because we wanted to see the ocean. I was trying to think positive,but you

Anyway, after that, we went shopping for food for the week. That was pretty boring. We got home and sat around for a while, and a little longer,

When i went Destin, Florida. I went to Florida this summer after school was out . We went with my sisters best friend, and my best friend’s family. We drove from Arkansas all the way to Destin, Florida. The day we got there we went straight to the beach! It was the first time I had ever seen the ocean! The following day we decided to go down to the smoothie shack and get a smoothie then swim in the pool. The grown ups went to the beach while we were at the pool.

Over my years of school, one big influence on me has always been sports. Ever since a young age, I have always enjoyed playing and watching sports. In my four years in high school, I have fell in love with the sport of lacrosse.

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.

When we got to the campsite we filled the tank up with water. When the tank was full we hurried to get everything back into the RV. Once we got to the site I stuffed the hose back into the place it goes into and closed and went back into the RV. When I came back out side I helped dad put up the tent and during that I got a bloody noise so I had to go into the RV. After an about an hour we finally got the tent up and then me and dad took the bikes down from the bike rack. After taking the bikes off the back I took my rip stick around the loop, which took awhile. After riding my rip stick we took a walk on the beach and played in the water a little after playing in the water we rinsed off and then took a shower. And came back and ate dinner. Then we made delicious s'mores and then ate them. After we finished making s'mores we got ready for bed and

cars there. We check in to the hotel and found our room and settled in. We went downtown in mackinaw there is a haunted building we were going to but are dad had a meating and you walk or ride in a carriage. Went to a toys and got to see how they make laffy taffy the flavor was bubblegum We got to eat some. I Didn't like it really then we got to buy stuff I got a toy and a shirt. We got to see a wedding later late night. We went mini golfing these glow after it was hard because it was dark we saw this huge toad and bats were everywhere. When

Our next stop was on our way back home. Which was an island right beside Mexico which makes it part of Mexico. My excursion here was with my step aunt vise and my cousin Cory. We rode horses on a dessert trail around this huge horse ranch. It was fun, cool, hot, and beautiful excursion. After that we went to eat somewhere on the island. Which is also were I first held an iguana and a red, blue macaw on my head.

Like it was yesterday I remember my first vacation on a cruise. My Dad and I went on a three- day long cruise to The Bahamas. I had never been on a cruise, so it was a new experience for me. We needed to be in Tampa for our departure, so we drove the two hours from Orlando, Florida to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. My Dad and I used this time to talk, make plans for the trip and think about our upcoming adventures on the cruise.

On the next day, we woke up kind of late since we had that long drive the other day before started to get ready. We ate for free at the hotel since they had had free breakfast and my brothers also woke up as well, to the surprise of my mother and me. Also, we had decided that we would go to the aquarium first before anything else (after eating breakfast of course). After the aquarium, we would go to the beach and after that go back to the hotel and to relax there.

The first day in Florida was really exciting for me because I’ve never been there and it was a first time experience with Florida. We went to go get breakfast and I saw the lady that was on the plane with me there! After breakfast we decided to meet up with family that stayed in Florida and we went to some shops and explored around the city. The weather in Florida was kind of chilly that day so we didn’t get to do much. After that we went to go eat, then went back to the hotel. At the hotel we all decided to go out to the pool. We put on our swimming suits and headed downstairs to the nice outdoor pool. After a while we went inside and watched Netflix on our phones while some of us slept. The next day was kind of a random day. We drove
