Vacation About Vacation

I was sitting on a hot steamy white sand beach where the ocean was washing into the shore. Cinque Terre was a nice vacation spot to chill, relax, and go for a swim. Ninety-Five degree weather all day long, everyday. My family and I were staying in a small, no air-conditioning house with only 3 bedrooms. During our sleep, we forget to close the windows so little lizards come into our house and crawl up our walls. Cinque Terre is a great vacation spot for many family activities!

Hiking trails to see if you have a whole day: Goldmine Trail at San Tan Regional Park (learn about desert wildlife at the teaching center, historical stories), Lost Goldmine Trail at the

In July of 2011, I traveled to Estes Park, Colorado with my family. We spent most of our time in the Rocky Mountain National Park and hiked 1,000 miles.

After waking up at site 18, having breakfast and cleaning up, we started up the trail. In retrospect, I would have gotten ready a bit quicker, as it was getting pretty warm as we approached the peak. However, the first three quarters to one mile offered a gradual assent, mostly in the shade and along the side of a creek for a time. We paused to enjoy a small waterfall along the trail. Then it started to climb a bit steeply, and the shade became occasional places where we looked forward to stopping to relax.

While on the Skywalk, we were not allowed to have our phones or personal cameras with us. This disappointed me greatly because I wanted to take pictures from the Skywalk, but I was ecstatic to hear they had someone out on the Skywalk that could take pictures for us. When entering the Skywalk, we saw the true beauty of the Grand Canyon. From our position, my family and I could see the great depth of the canyon and its humongous width at the same time. By the time we arrived back at the hotel, it was late at night. At last, I could sleep after this tiring but an equally amazing

A week before spring break my dad proposed that we go to Las Vegas. So that following Tuesday we boarded a red eye out of Dallas, Texas and headed to the city of entertainment. First, we checked into the New York-New York Hotel & Casino. As we walked throughout the hotel I was in sensory overload: there were lights flashing, people yelling, and cigarettes burning. From then on I identified Las Vegas as a fascinating place.

This the north side of Zion National Park. It was so worth the visit. There also weren't very many people there, so I was nice not to have our view of the beautiful landscape blocked. Kolobo Canyons feature amazing sandstone cliffs. They colors of the rocks are stunning! Most of Kolobo Canyons you drive through, but there are a few hikes. We did the hike at the end of the driving route. It was a one-mile round trip. It featured a slight elevation change, when you come from the Mississippi Delta region of the south a slight elevation change of a few hundred feet is a lot. They also have a longer hike that goes back to the largest free-standing arch in the world. This is a 14.4 mile round trip hike, and the National Park Service does not recommend

Before resting for the night, you'll want to take time to visit Red Fleet State Park in Naples, UT. You may camp at Red Fleet State Park for the night or turn around to stay for dinner and a hotel in the nearby town of Vernal. While at the park, you will want to watch the sunset play on the astounding natural beauty of lakes, rock formations and forests. Looking eastward, canyons become a golden yellow. Looking west, they are turned into dark grey silhouettes against a rainbow sky. You will never forget this

The soaring sandstone cliffs never cease to amaze me. They offer a freedom from everyday life. After being cooped up in a classroom all of January and February, I needed a break. Going to the slot canyons to the east of Zion was the perfect way to start that break. Spring break. Today my uncle Wade, older brother Tyler, and cousin Silver were going to climb cougars cliff, which is near Snow Canyon. This was the third time that I had ever gone rock climbing, so it seems reasonable to attempt the daunting 135 foot cliff. I climbed into a harness. Wade tied a double fisherman’s knot, and then the four of us approached the wall.

Each September, October, and November morning, I sprang out of bed to cross off the day, counting down until the arrival day of my friends Austin and Alexis. They reside in a neighboring town of Seattle, Washington, and anticipated their visit to Texas as well. Once each week, we would call and plan our time according to the activities that they wanted to do. When the Douglas family flew into Texas, they stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine. My frugal mom researched and discovered Great Wolf Lodge water park tickets for sale, and purchased them. This allowed my family and me the opportunity to play with Austin and Alexis in the humid indoor waterpark on the crisp November day. Neither Austin nor I desired to journey on the “River Canyon

We finally made it to Death Valley. It took us over 5 hours to get here. Dad would only stop once for food and gas. I didn’t think it was going to take that long to drive approximately 240 miles. The Furnace Creek Resort is pretty busy today. I’m glad we decided to stay at the Furnace Creek Ranch Hotel. Outside our room is a huge grass area where we can throw the football around. We all decided to turn in early tonight. Tomorrow we are going to see what Death Valley has to offer.

I stayed there 8 days. So I have not many experiences. But I had several impressive places. The most memorable place is universal studios in LA. It was awesome and exiting. We played stimulation game. It looks so real. Second place is Grand Canyon. I can’t find any words for explain it. It made me impressed and modest.

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.

Spending quality time with family is one of my favorite childhood memories, whether it was spending time outdoors, playing ping pong, or watching a movie. My most meaningful family memory came from our vacation to Colorado back in 2004; yes, 2004. Although I don’t remember all of the events that transpired, I’m able to recall most of the memorable events that took place. It was a cool, misty morning in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, and I could distinctly hear the unmistakable elk calls that echoed through the mountains. The breeze gently scraped my face as I got into the car to begin the first day of our family vacation in Colorado. I could hear the car tires gently humming on the road during this cool, foggy, Colorado morning. As I looked past the lanky pine trees, glistening drops of dew formed on the tall grass, dancing with the wind. As we moved further down the road, I could see the tip of the sun barely begin to peek over the steep, snowy mountain peaks; however, the sun was soon covered by the misty Colorado clouds. This was it: our family vacation!

Most people that have gone to Orlando for holidays, ended with good memories. I’m not the exception. The resorts, the parks, and the restaurant make Orlando the best place to enjoy for the whole family. My last holiday with my nephew in The Wall Disney World Resort was the best time of our life for my family and me.
