Over the bridges and through the desert to grandparents’ house we go During spring break in 2012, my family went on a very interesting trip. We were looking forward to going to the famous Getty museum and taking a trip to Disneyland, however, my grandparents got in the way. The thirteen hour two day journey to California was anything but interesting. My brother and I read books and listened to music to occupy the time but the journey was still brutal. After a long ten hour journey we made it to our swanky Las Vegas hotel. I marveled at how big the snake shaped swimming pool was with its built in waterfall. Chat was dispersed through my family about all the fun we would have in the swimming pool the next morning. The next morning lots of laughs were shared between my family. We only got to be in the swimming pool for an hour because we had to get on the road but it was a nice start to a trip that had the potential of being fantastic. …show more content…

My whole family was quite excited to be going to Disneyland so we managed to fill the time talking about all the adventures and memories we wanted to make. The hotel the second day was a fancy beachfront hotel that held many promises of great times to be had. We would be staying there for six days so there was plenty of time to relax on the beach. After getting settled into the hotel we made plans of the day we were going to have tomorrow. The plan was to visit my mother’s parents for a bit to see how they were doing, however we got a call from my grandmother that changed

    One of the best family trips that I have been on occurred when I was about 8 years old. My family and I were invited to go on a 4th of July camping trip to Telluride by some family friends that have 5 kids the same ages as our kids. Several other good friends were also invited to join us. We prepared our camping gear, loaded up the car and hooked up our trailer with our Polaris Ranger. The long drive to Telluride was 7 hours and it felt like it took forever because we were so excited to arrive. Even though the drive up their wasn’t fun at all, the reward was great.

  • Hong Kong Disneyland Case Study

    Although from an outside perspective many cases of globalisation may simply seem to increase cultural homogeneity, one culture can alter different parts of a global culture and incorporate them into their own and create cultural heterogeneity. In simpler terms, homogenisation and heterogenisation are both features of modern globalisation. Evidence for the contended statements above will be provided through the evaluation of case studies regarding global companies such as Starbucks and Disneyland Parks adapting to the local cultures of the areas to which they have spread to within the Asia-Pacific region. Not only global brands highlight the interconnectedness of homogenised and heterogenised cultures, but the glocalisation of traditional rites

    When I was young, my brothers and I would pack our bags and fill the family car up with gas so that on the day after the last day of school we could head off to Cape Cod for the summer. What a wonderful feeling of excitement and anticipation. My grandparents lived in a little Cape town where we would attend parades on Main Street and spend time on the beach listening to the sea, and my grandparents would watch us play all kinds of sports with our friends. At night just before dinner, I would wander upstairs to spend time with my grandfather while he worked in his office. I knew he ran an antique business, but he frequently worked on something far more intriguing.

  • What I Did This Summer

    This year, we thought we'd try something different and booked ourselves a pilgrimage to Disney World. Along with apple pie, a trip to Disney World probably completes the quintessential American childhood experience. So we all flew down to Florida. The first day, it rained so much a twenty-minute drive from airport to hotel took us three and a half hours! Senior daughter (SD) broke down at some point during hour #2 and demanded we go right back to Boston. We finally reached the hotel in one piece and had a wonderful time. Disney World was all right. The girls had fun and we really, really, enjoyed the hotel, its pools, and the drinks! At the end, SD said to us, "Isn't Camden, ME so peaceful"? If that was meant as a hint that we should have gone there instead, I pretended not to have got it. She quickly added, "I love Disney World too, especially the pools"!

    Ever since I was about six years old, I wanted in the worst way to go to Disneyland. I would hope every year that my parents would chose Disneyland as our next family vacation destination. I dreamt of the day I would come back from Disneyland with exciting tales of adventure and a pair of sparkly, ruby red and black Minnie Mouse ears of my very own that would be the envy of every kid in my elementary class. Once I finally went to Disneyland, it was amazing; Disneyland was everything I had expected and more. However, a couple years later when I returned to Disneyland, it was different. The rides, buildings, and everything in the park did not have the same allure. The magic I had experienced as a child was no longer there.

  • Where Do You Fit In?

    Some of my best family experiences were on family trips, but sometimes it was not in fact the activities at the place we were going but the journey there that held the learning experiences. Most of the family trips that we take are over eight hours long. There are many things that come from being in a cramped car for that long. One of which is you get bored unless you talk to other people, so that’s what you do. Sometimes you can find out a lot about a person by talking to them for that long, even people that you thought you knew completely. On one of my family trips my brother told about a time that his friend almost suffocated on a snow caving trip. It happened when they were crushing in the snow caves and it wasn’t working, then the last time that his friend tried jumping on it, the ceiling broke through and he was stuck halfway with his face buried in snow. My brother finished by tellin...

  • Essay On Family Vacation

    877 Words  | 2 Pages

    Our imperative family tradition was a summer vacation. Completely neglecting any responsibilities for a week, vacations were the perfect excuse. Fostering an environment for bonding, our annual vacations helped in creating lifelong memories. According to a Disney Time Survey conducted by Kelton, 82% of time on vacation is considered family time. This finding is evident, especially in one of my recent vacations. The months preceding and following this specific family trip, were filled with various milestones which prohibited much bonding: my mother’s diagnosis of Lung Cancer, my older sister’s wedding day, and my senior year preparation. If it wasn’t for our last hurrah, we may not have been able to successfully sit the needed amount of time

I remembered waking up early excited to visit this new land. Used to take long flights, I was surprised to arrive to the destination after a one-hour flight. Even though the flight was short for me, it was stressful for my mom, she has never felt secured in a plane, probably due to the fact that she is afraid of height. When finally arrived at the destination, the dry and warm weather was there to welcome us. We all felt relief, and knew that this was the beginning of the summer. Excited, we had a lot of activities planned for the few weeks, me and my father could not wait to dive in the clear
