Vacations are a great way to bond with family while getting a break from your everyday life. My trip to Lake George last summer was just that. I spent time with my distant relatives, who I barely ever see, and I had a little get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The day was activity packed, and I enjoyed every second of it! It all started with a phone call from my great aunt, Aisha, telling my mother that they were going upstate for the day, and asking if I could come with. Since Mom and Dad happened to have the day off, they decided to make it a family affair. The drive up to Lake George was actually a ton of fun since all of us cousins sat in the back and played car games. When we finally got there, the adults checked into our hotel rooms and all the kids hit the pool. We all played …show more content…
For lunch, we went to a Turkish restaurant which was walking distance from the hotel. On the way back, we passed by a small carnival and decided to spend some time there. We really enjoyed ourselves and didn’t even realize that we were going to be late to our rafting reservation! We took a cab down to the lake, where there was a small hut renting out rafting gear. We had to hike downhill with our rafts to find a location where the current was calm. Our guide helped us with navigate the rapids and we even got to jump into the lake! After the rafting experience, we were pretty exhausted, so we decided to rest on the beach for a while. I remember lying in the sand while the cool water tickled my toes. It started to get dark, so we decided to head back to the hotel to take showers and change out of our now soiled clothes. We grabbed dinner from a pizzeria down the street, and then went to an ice
You know the feeling when everything’s perfect, and suddenly your heart just stops? The 1 hour 48 minute drive to Lake Ontario was just like any other. Movie playing, siblings arguing, music blasting. My family hosts our annual 4th of July party up by Cape Vincent. With the warm air filled with the scent of the grill, and the sounds of laughter and music,that weekend was turning out to be just like the rest. Or at least that’s what we thought. 1311 Failing Shores Lane was never quiet during any of the previous events, but for some reason a dead silence draped over the lot.
The reason we went to Chicago was because my cousin, Adam Vanbriesen, got married. Adam has an acting job in Chicago. His wife likes to write the plays. We decided that since we were going to Chicago for a wedding, we might as well make a trip out of it! We met my Aunt Deb and her husband and my Aunt Carol and Uncle Darvin at the Hilton in Chicago. After we picked up Darvin and Carol from the airport, we all went out to supper. We ate at an amazing Italian restaurant. After, we went to the Outlet Mall of
The next day we had pancakes that the hotel gives for breakfast. That was the best food I have had since the vacation has started. My family and I went to the beach right after that. The water was still cold, so I had to play with the sand. Instead of building a sand castle, I built a set of tunnel and stuff underground. Then, my little brother came and jumped on the tunnels and all of it fell down.
About 3 months ago I was sitting in my car thinking why am I here and how did I get here. I was all the way in Lake Charles, LA, about 6 hours from home. Earlier that day I had gotten so upset with everyone I got in the car and just started driving. I'm not one to let my emotions get to me or others but this had built up to the point where I was feeling tears rolling down my face uncontrollably and plunging down to my phone in my lap, I was having a breakdown. I pulled off the highway to get gas at this old dingy gas station where I saw two sheriffs searching this women's car. I dried my tears got out and tried to pay for my gas but the pump wasn’t reading my card and it started to irritate me. One of the sheriffs standing by the car noticed
After we got tired of the pool me and my family started to head to the beach. So as we walked we noticed an amazing shell so we went and picked it up and there was a snail inside of it. It jumped out of its shell at my dad and scared us to death. After that we set it back free in the ocean, the we went and played around in the amazing water. My mom and my grand ma went to go and get lunch from the beach side café. They had the best food on the beach, we all ate our lunch and were stuffed
I can remember traveling to my grandparents’ house for Thanksgiving, I would become so excited the week leading up to the holiday because I was finally able to see my aunts and grandparents all at the same time. We stayed the entire Thanksgiving break at Grandma and Grandpa’s house. On Thanksgiving morning, we would wake up early to watch the Macy’s Day Parade all of us, girls and kids, still in our pajamas cuddle on the floor in front of the tv. Eventually, my mom, Grandma, Aunt Lindsey, and Aunt Elexa would get up to start
Some people travel to different states or countries over the summer. However, I normally don’t travel too far over the break, I normally stay in Michigan. Over the summer break, I go to a place where I can hang out with my cousin. That place has numerous activities I enjoy doing. It also is a place where my family and I celebrate a few holidays. This place is Duggan’s Family Campground, a place I love.
Spending a few weeks with my aunt was always the highlight of my summer. Rules were nonexistent with her, we could play and do as we pleased as long as we listened to her when it was serious. Once my Aunt Lisa, a teacher, was let out of school, my brother, sister, and I could not wait more than a day or two before calling and begging her to let us come over. Even though it was a four hour drive she jumped at the opportunity. The wait for her was agonizing! Our cousins, Tonya and Lee, rode with her experiencing the same anxiety. Once they arrived our excitement was at its height. We could not wait for the long ride to their home in Texas. We threw our duffle bags in her trunk and jumped in the back seat.
During the summer break, why do families visit beaches so often? A very common vacation site for families during the summer season is the beach. Although the beach has many beautiful aspects that make up its unique scenery, it also provides many joyful and memorable emotions to its travelers. For my family, the beach has always been our favorite vacation site for the summer. Most people often refer to the beach as a peaceful yet exciting scene.

Going on a road trip with my family means the world to me. We drove to another state during summer vacation, and it was by far the best road trip I have ever been on. My family and I were able to go to many fun places. We ate so many exotic and delicious foods as well. Yet most importantly, I spent time with my family and their friends. It was the day when my family and I went to California for our summer vacation.
Throughout someone’s life they will go to many places with their family, friends, another relatives. I have been on a few vacations that have made a lasting impact on my life. But one of the most memorable vacations I have experienced was with my cousins. I went to goa beach. Most of you probably don’t know about that beach but it is a very famous one in south India. I enjoyed myself to the fullest. The beach environment was enlightening. I would not have wanted to take this trip with anyone other than my cousins. We had a great time on the ocean sands and swimming in the ocean everyday made this vacation unforgettable.
One of my favorite family traditions is summer vacation. Every summer without fail we go on vacation. For the past ten years we have been going to Disney World with our family friends the Battaglia's, so it has turned into a tradition up until last summer when we broke our florida adventure to go to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
My most memorable family vacation took place two years ago. We went to Corsica, a French island situated in the south of France right next to Italy. 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
