The First Time Of The Second Time

My family trips are full of fun and crazy adventures. My first family trip that I remember is my family road trip. We went to the Wisconsin Dells. Afterwards we drove to Minnesota. I almost got lost there because I was looking at something and my family started walking away and I didn’t know. I ended up finding them after I had been scared to death. In May I’m going back to Minnesota to go The Mall of America. In August I’m going to Hawaii. I kind of scared to fly over the ocean but I think I’ll have fun.

Before going to Hawaii, most of my summer and Christmas vacations were spent traveling to visit family. My dad was in the military, so when he was given leave, we were always going back to our hometown of Shreveport, Louisiana. Sometimes, if we were lucky, we went to Georgia to visit our relatives in Augusta. So imagine my surprise when, as a present for doing great in school the previous year, my parents decided to take me and my sisters to Hawaii for the summer! Once we packed our suitcases and planned our travel itinerary, we were on a plane and headed from Texas, where we lived, to Hawaii. I’m sure the process was a bit more complicated than that, but I was only 13 years old and didn’t realize that at the time.

Florida's weather is pleasant and relaxing for the most part. Since the weather was nice we were able to go to Cocoa beach in Brevard County. My parents brought some things for us to do at the beach. They brought a frisbee, a volleyball, wakeboards, and surfboards. I tried to learn how to surf and wakeboard but, I wasn't good at it. So, i just went swimming around the beach a little and played beach volleyball and enjoyed the weather in Florida. The last day we didn't do much besides get everything packed up and ready for our trip back home.

I’ll never forget the time i moved to Maine. We drove a whopping 22 hours to get there. We came from virginia and traveled over the course of a day. My mom was very tired and was awake on coffee and energy drinks. That made me feel bad because i wasn't sixteen so i couldn't help. We stopped at some places along the way and saw mountains and beautiful

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.

I loved being in Florida, I went with my mom, dad and sister. My sister is 15 years old and loves to play soccer and is very caring and kind she has long brown hair and is tall she also likes to play on her phone. My mom is not very tall but not short either she has light brown hair that is medium hair and is so caring and kind she also likes to watch movies and play games. My dad is really tall and is kind and likes to watch TV.

In this essay I’m going to tell you about what I did what I did over break, which was go to Colorado. I also received and gave presents throughout my whole family. Also my step sister came down from California to visit.

We went to disney and stayed at a resort in disney. Then we decided to go to Panama. We weren't planning on going to Panama till the night before we were going home. So we couldn't find a hotel to stay at. So we were driving down there and we stopped at some town to stay the night in between Panama City and Orlando. We couldn't find a hotel within 70 miles so when we finally found one to stay at for the night we didn't even care how nice it was. And it ended up being not too nice because we found some cockroaches. So the next day we made our way up to Panama City. Since we booked the hotel the night before because we weren't planning on going there we had to stay in a hotel that smelled like it had water damage and drugs. We called every hotel on the beach and they all were booked. So we went to the beach and it was hot and the ocean was crystal clear. It seemed like the Jellyfish were screaming for us to pick them up. But the worse part of this whole trip was I forgot to put sunscreen on and you're on the beach and It's hot so I was just asking to get burnt.Later that night this kid at our hotel asked my sister if I was naturally that red because I looked strange. When we stepped on the beach you the waves were crashing onto the beach,surfers hit the wave and have a salt stench on your hands. Even though this vacation was long I made some amazing memories playing at nationals

My mom didn’t want to end up paying for our flight so instead we drove up to Arizona by car. There was a lot to see on the way to Arizona. We got to see some of the coolest landforms like desert rocks and giant forests and deserts and cool things like that. We also got to see a lot of mountains we even passed the four peaks!

    My mom and I sat down and discussed the things that needed to change in order for our lives to remain as equivalent as before. We lived in High Point, North Carolina so that her commute to Greensboro, North Carolina was shorter. Everyday I drove to Lexington to attend school. I didn’t want to transfer schools because I had attended the Lexington school system during my entire academic journey and I saw no point in changing schools for  my junior and senior year. We lived in High Point

As a child I did not have much, so going on trips with my mom were rare to none. When I was 12, my mother and I got invited to our family reunion in Georgia. I never been to one but from what I saw on TV, I knew it was going to be eventful and huge. I did not know a lot about the people of my mom’s side beside my grandparents, which is why I wanted, go so bad. After convincing my mother to take off from work so we can go for months, I took my first trip out of Florida. I remember staying up the whole time my mom was driving because I was so excited to meet my family.

I remember the time my sisters and I went to Wisconsin Dells during spring break of my 5th grade year. My mom planned this trip out months before and it was suppose to be a surprise. She planned this trip because she wanted to reward my sisters and I for our accomplishments during the school year. Once we found out we were leaving to go to Mt. Olympus, my sisters and I were very excited. We found out that sunday and left Wedneseday morning. Of course we drove because it was only a 3 hour drive but I honestly don’t like long car rides. The ride wasn’t that fun to me because not only did my sisters come, my cousin and auntie tagged along.

One of my favorite vacations is getting to go to Las Vegas, Nevada. At the time we went I was only sixteen years old so I could do the fun things like gambling. I did get to do a lot of really cool things though. We did a lot of sightseeing and walking. We went to a super cool aquarium where everything was so pretty and it really looked like you were under water. Also we went to a giant candy store and really good restaurants. I got the amazing opportunity to go to this awesome show called Ka. They did so many cool tricks and the storyline was great. The show didn't have any talking but it did have music which was cool. The cast of the show were very talented they had a ton of acrobatics and really cool costumes. I did a lot of shopping and

When we went to visit this one town Becca and I went off on our own for a little while without here parents and we even found people to hang out with, and it was really cool to meet those new people. Since we weren’t from there we were able to learn what kinds of things they did for fun in their town. Going to Florida with Becca and her family was really fun because I was able to meet new people while I was there and I got to try new things that I had never done before. I even tried a new type of food. (Even though nobody really care for it while we were

My best experience was meeting up with my cousins in Minneapolis. That was the best weekend I could ever ask for. Our moms surprised us by letting us leave school early and go to a hotel to meet up with each other. It was a girls weekend there were no boys aloud. Swimming, shopping, and going out to eat were the first few things on our bucket list that we made when we got there. Unloading the van was the first thing we did. Us younger girls Ellie, Abby, Madison, LeAnn, and me shared on room and the parents got the other room. One of the rooms had a hot tub and jets. The other room only had a normal shower. We went out to eat the first night we were there because we were all so happy to see each other and get to hang out. We went to Emacrumbies to eat supper, and I got a stuffed animal that now is my favorite stuffed animal.
