Recommended: Vacation with my family

I had my eyes glued on the clock all day, I was so excited for it to turn 4:30. You see I was going on vacation with my family to South Padre Island, it was a five-day weekend and we were going to be spending it there. By we I mean, my Husband, son, Mom, Brothers Roman, Raymond, Joseph, sister Rogue, Aunt and Uncle, and my cousins Mariah, Liz, Kim, and Edward. We were going to be staying in a three bedroom condo at a resort. After checking in we went to our room. Everyone was talking about how nice it was and how we all wanted to live there forever, it was the size of a house. The beds had sea turtles made out of towels, and chocolates just like in the movies. From the balcony you could see the lights from Mexico, smell the crisp ocean air, and feel the cool breeze. It was the kind of relaxation we all needed. …show more content…

He was three and he loved the beach. We jumped into the water, not long after getting in a school of fish swam by and scared him. My uncle pitched a tent out there so we would have some shade. He also put a volley ball net up, we all played for about an hour then went back in the water. We stayed at the beach till lunch till the late afternoon, went up to eat some lunch, and then go back down. We stayed at the beach until it got dark, then we transitioned to the swimming pool area. The pools heated up, they were awesome! There was also a Jacuzzi, it was so relaxing, I was able to enjoy it for a while. My son actually learned how to swim by the end of the fourth night that was amazing. The next couple of days went by and the routine was pretty much the same. It was a great experience with the people I loved the most. We stopped at the local gift shops to get souvenirs before we hit the road. The drive home was much quieter than the driver over there. Everyone was exhausted, had a tan, and was at peace. Back over the big bridge, on the road to San Antonio. it was definitely a vacation I will not

  • Pilgrimage to Plymouth Rock: A Mayflower Voyage

    922 Words  | 2 Pages

    Over sixty days have passed since I left with the others from my homeland on the Mayflower, sailing along the Atlantic passageway in search of new beginnings. The journey at sea was treacherous, but not deathly, though our morale was quite shaken from the storms. The ship’s main hull was breached, but thankfully the ship remained intact for the rest of the course with just a few temporary repairs. Originally, we were headed to dock in Virginia with the other settlers, but the gales and squalls of the sea have steered our path elsewhere north amidst the land. Just shortly after we landed shore, a team was dispatched to explore where they named the area Plymouth Rock, just west of Cape Cod Bay. And now, the others and I have stepped foot on a sandy beach in this part of the New World, ready to form a fresh start.

  • Cancun Narrative

    472 Words  | 1 Pages

    I have never waited so long in my life, it took and hour and a half just to get three bags out to where the pickup was. We finally got our bags and took a shuttle to the Crown Paradise Hotel. This Hotel was so nice. It had a mini golf course, three pools(1 inside,2 outside), A basketball court, a movie theatre, etc. My hotel room was also super nice there were too connecting rooms so finally for once I got my own bed. The first day I did the most common and went to the beach. The sand was super hot and I’m not too fond of salt water, it just makes swimming in the ocean ten times worse. Then at night I played ping pong and pool against my dad. Then the rest of the week I would go swim in the outside pool or play futsal(soccer on pavement). I always came back with at least one blister on my foot. The worst thing about this trip was the sunburn, in cancun it's way hotter and it's so easy too get burned. This also made it hard because, since the water is so bad whenever I wanted water I would have to walk all the way to the elevator and then all the way down this long hallway to the gift shop and would buy a water bottle then go all the way back to my room. The food although was super good besides there breakfast and ketchup. The last day was the hardest it took so long trying to get on the plane and the car ride was so boring. But that’s my favorite

  • Personal Narrative: My Cruise To The Bahamas

    485 Words  | 1 Pages

    This past summer, my family and I went on a cruise to the Bahamas. We had just docked at the second port, Nassau, and were preparing to exit the gigantic ship named the Carnival Fantasy. Once we got to the city, I noticed it was bustling with people of all different backgrounds and cultures. The roads were narrow and some even hilly. I remember coming to the conclusion that a lot of people in the Bahamas must have road rage what from the blaring car horns I could hear around every corner. My family and I were walking along the sidewalk, glancing into shops as we passed them. The weather was unbearably hot, but growing up in South Carolina allowed my family and I to push onward with our adventure. The sun burn on my back started to pulsate in pain any time the sunlight hit it, so we decided to stick to the side of the buildings that provided shade.

    Last fall break I took a trip to San Diego with my mom, my dad, and my best friend Juliana. Her and I are two peas in a pod. I remember almost every detail from that trip. We rented this quaint blue house that had a stable door in the front. The top half of the door could open separately from the bottom, and it had a charming kitchen with a such a big fridge that when it opened you felt like the house was leaning with the door. The room Juliana and I stayed in was just as cute as the rest of the house It had a white closet that was in the wall, two twin beds with soft pink and blue blankets on them, an old white dresser, and a tiny window next to the dresser that had smudges of dirt on it. The house was a little run down but it was perfect the way it was. The memory of this trip will forever be kept in my mind, from playing volleyball with my feet on the cold sand and hearing the

    Over the summer I went on a trip to Virginia for 1 week. I was so excited that I finally got to go on a vacation to a beach because I hadn't been to one since 2013. But one thing that I wasn't looking forward to was the long 10 hour trip it took to get there. The drive to Virginia was actually not that bad. There was a lot of scenery that was so beautiful to look at since we drove mostly through mountainous areas. We drove for most of the day we left at about 11:00 am and got there at about 8: 30. I was so excited that we had finally made it and when I saw the ocean I was so happy! There was one drawback about getting there, it was dark and rainy, so my first impression wasn't as good as it could have been. That night I was so tired, but so overjoyed that I could hardly fall asleep and I ended up staying up for a long time. My sisters and I ended up waking up much earlier than my parents because we were so ready to go to the
