I used to spend the last part of my summer vacation with my uncle and aunt. As a continuation of a long-ago-established tradition we decided going to York - a small, picturesque tourist town at the seaside, located in the southeastern part of Maine. On the 27th of August, early in the morning we went to my uncle’s car with the entire luggage, prepared to leave and spend a nice, relaxing vacation, far away from the problems of the city. Unfortunately the unpleasant surprises started from the first second of our vacation. To our great disbelief the two front tires of the car were missing, and as later became clear, stolen during the night so at this moment the car was lying on the pavement, like a big wounded animal. I remember that my …show more content…
Our mood was bad, because we were tired from the hours spend in the car and the accidents, that happened to us. As far as I remember we had another problem with the reservation of our hotel rooms, but after such an exhausting day those things seemed almost normal, too easily-predicted to make us an impression.
The very first days of our vacation passed smoothly, without any sign that our bad luck will follow us. We started to enjoy our rest, making jokes from the strange situations that happened to us the previous days. Then the event that changes my life happened. It was the fourth day of our vacation and we had already forgotten the events from our departure. As usual, after breakfast we went directly to the beach with the intent to stay there till late afternoon. This time my uncle proposed us to change the place and go to some more quiet and far from the crowd one. We of course accepted the idea. This new beach was exactly what I was dreaming for – beautiful shore, clear and calm sea, clean sand. I was really excited. This magnificent “heaven” was naturally surrounded by high cliffs, which separated us from the rest of the beach, that is, from the crowd. The day passed very smoothly. At the end of it we were even slightly bored from those sunbathes. Then my aunt proposed me to climb up one of the cliffs that surrounded the beach. I grinned broadly and accepted the idea with enthusiasm –, as all kids will do when proposing
Trying to find memories is like looking for treasure. You look at the surface and see something mediocre, but you dig deep and find something cool, pretty, and meaningful. It took a while to think of a fond memory, but once I thought of some, it was hard to choose a favorite. Growing up I have had many great experiences in the form of vacations. Between going to Disney World, owning a vacation home, hanging out with my grandparents in Arizona, traveling to Canada and more. They all make amazing memories that I will forever cherish. The vacation spot we go to the most, though, is Wisconsin Dells. A few times I have been allowed to invite friends to come with. When I am allowed to bring friends, it is always a ginormous amount of fun. We goof off in the hotel room, play in the arcades, and swim in the water parks.
It was the last day of our summer vacation in Dallas, Texas. After a week of scorching heat and sunburns, we were ready to head home. It was early in the morning and the sun was beginning to stretch its arms getting ready for the day. Our suitcases were packed and we began to get ready for the long trip back home to Michigan. We loaded the car filling every empty space in the trunk with luggage. As we finished, we got into the car and drove to the lobby of the hotel to return the keys from our rooms. All of us waited in the car besides my step father who went to check us out of the hotel. The rest of us stayed in the car waiting and eating the continental breakfast from the hotel. Once my family and I were all situated in the car as my dad began speaking. “I want to take you all somewhere before we leave,” he announced, looking into the rear-view mirror back at us. My brother and I weren’t acknowledging what he said and we continued the movie we were watching in the car assuming that he was taking us to visit another relative or a restaurant.
When we came their everyone there were very nice and treated us like we were their childhood friends not foreigners from another country. It felt nice to feel respected by people. We traveled back to our hotel by car. When we got back I took a nice bath which are electric lit rooms and I tucked our children in bed, told them good night and I love them. I told them about my journey to the hot springs and how I have been feeling a lot better since we have arrived. They said they are having the time of their lives and they don’t want to leave. I am still smiling thinking about how happy they are. I jumped into night gown and went into my single bed and went to sleep with happy thoughts because I knew this is my new

The next day, April 8th, my parents and I woke around 8 a.m. to get ready for our 3 mile run. After running, we spent a couple hours at the beach in the warm sun and chilly breeze. A little while later after having relaxed in the cool air conditioned condo, we got dressed up for dinner at a fancy seafood restaurant in town. On our way there, a group of girls in the car behind us were yelling out the window at their friends and rammed into the back of my grandpa’s truck. My grandpa was upset, so we didn’t make it to the restaurant until around two hours later. For dinner, I ordered a steak, and it was mouthwateringly juicy. When we arrived back to our cozy condo my grandparents went up to the rooms and my family and I went out to the beach. My mom and I had our phones so we turned on our flashlights and
MSTT was unable to work with Billy and Nikki on their goals due to being on vacation. MSTT was able to meet with Nikki and Billy before leaving to address their goals. MSTT was unable to work on those goals because Cynthia attended the session. Cynthia is Billy's grandmother. MSTT explained the services to Cynthia and invited her to stay and address her concerns and her desired outcomes for Billy and the family. Cynthia did stay and met with MSTT and expressed her concerns and her desired outcomes with MSTT and Nikki.
Sisters, they can be the biggest pain in your butt, but other times they change the way we see the world. Spring break was finally here, our plane had landed two hours ago and we were headed to Walmart to pick up food for our vacation week. The whole family was together including my mom, dad, sister, and brother. I felt relaxed and took in a long deep breath knowing that I did not have to do anything for the next full week. As the family and I strolled into the store I could tell my sister was overly joyed. I remember the strong aura of flowers as I walked to the stores entrance. As I wandered into the store, I was soon hit by the artic blast of the air conditioner. My sister and I headed straight to the food section. We both went straight for the in season oranges, which had this impressive vibrant orange color.
I knew that today was going to be a fast pace before I even went into the building. This week we have two case managers and two teachers who are on vacation. I had seven cases that I had to address today. One the case that stood out to me was a case that involved three children and the mother. The father of the children was not around so it made the case a little harder. The three children all had some sort of infection on them, but that's not what they mother came to me for. She asked if I could help her get food stamps. I told her that we could work on it, in the middle of the conversation I notice that all three children looked like they were uncomfortable. All of the children were under the age of ten, and should be happy because
I did a lot of things during vacation. The first thing I did was go to a park and ride to pick up a friend in Gray. Then from there we went to the school to paint lacrosse fields. Nick and I played with my soccer ball and went exploring in the woods where the trees danced in the wind. After a while of playing we went to help the grownups paint, but eventually we got bored so we played pass with our lacrosse sticks for a while. That day was very cold, mostly because it was 5:40 when we got to the field and the very beginning of spring. So what we did was curl up in a ball as round as the sun.
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
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.
My parents had decided that it would be a great opportunity for me to live in her small apartment for a few days while the rest of the family stayed nearby in my mother’s brother’s apartment. The first few days were quite calm and enjoyable while spending most of my time helping her with housework, watching tv, catching up each other on our past year, and periodically going to Shanghai city with my family, but it was at nighttime that revealed another side.
It was a beautiful day to try something new at Doheny State Beach in Dana Point, California. It was a long year in fourth grade, and my family and I were excited to start our summer vacation. As we pulled our trailer on the southbound I-5 freeway towards San Diego, I could see the temperature gauge on my father’s truck slowly dropping to the mid 70’s. We were in a packed car with my father, mother, older brother,younger sister, snacks and drinks everywhere, and me, entranced by the game on my brand new iPod that I recently received on my birthday. I had gone on camping trips my whole life so I was thrilled to go to a new beach and campground, but I was bewildered when we pulled into a Costco parking lot. I asked my father, “Why are we at
After you choose your destination the next thing you must do is reserve your airfare and hotel. This may be tough because there are many websites and travel agents that you can go through. I have found that it is cheaper and easier to go through Expedia.com. You can book your hotel and flight all together and pay one low price. I have also found that flying with Southwest Airlines is very cheap and they have many one way stops all across the country and for a cheap hotel that is very nice I recommend the Extended Stay America.
