Recommended: Describe a beautiful beach

I have had many first experiences in my life, but the most memorable was when I went parasailing(compound). I do not like heights at all, so parasailing was a definite concern for me. I wanted to avoid it at all costs, but, unfortunately, my sister wanted to, so that means the whole family had to. My mom works for American Family Insurance and every year we go on a company trip. This year we went to Miami, Florida, and it was beautiful(compound). This was my first vacation on a beach. Even our hotel room had a view of the ocean. Though we did not spend much time in the hotel, it was very fancy, and we enjoyed looking at the architecture(compound-complex). We didn't do anything at the hotel other than sleep. My sister had seen people parasailing

I wanted to make it clear that I was a man, not a crying baby. Stepping onto that roller coaster was what I remember the most.
