One of my favorite vacations We were all watching tv there was a football game on. My dad got up and asked Graham, Dallas and I to go in to Graham's room. He told us that us three we're going to colorado if we didn't have anything important going on. None of us thought we had anything but it turns out that Dallas, who's a sophomore in high school, had too many test going on so that meant Dallas wasn't going. We were all pretty bummed but not enough to not go. Graham started packing right away. I didn't pack till last minute, that may have been a mistake. When school ended Dallas picked us up and I raced up stairs packing as fast as I could. In about an hour we had everything in the car and ready to go. We were off to colorado. Me and Graham were sitting in the back while our dad sat in the front. Our dad then gave us two options we could go straight to colorado or stay in a hotel. We all decided it was best to stay at a hotel by the time we got there it was almost 10 o’clock. We stopped at a hotel in Ellis Kansas. They had a pool and a hot tub just our luck it felt so good on our sore legs. Then we went straight to bed in surprised all of us how quickly we fell asleep. The next morning we ate breakfast there and continued to our destination. We had eight more hours me and my brother fell asleep for most of it we woke up just before we entered the mountains. There wasn't really any snow so we were all a little worried that we wouldn't be able to go on the mountain. We
Before we go back on the thruway I was hungry again. So we went to a Friendly’s for the final part of our trip. After relaxing for awhile and eating we figured it was finally time to go home. So we go back in the car and headed home. Before we even got to the thruway Jim was asleep in the back seat. I fell asleep right after we got our toll
Trying to find memories is like looking for treasure. You look at the surface and see something mediocre, but you dig deep and find something cool, pretty, and meaningful. It took a while to think of a fond memory, but once I thought of some, it was hard to choose a favorite. Growing up I have had many great experiences in the form of vacations. Between going to Disney World, owning a vacation home, hanging out with my grandparents in Arizona, traveling to Canada and more. They all make amazing memories that I will forever cherish. The vacation spot we go to the most, though, is Wisconsin Dells. A few times I have been allowed to invite friends to come with. When I am allowed to bring friends, it is always a ginormous amount of fun. We goof off in the hotel room, play in the arcades, and swim in the water parks.
“Are we there yet are we there yet?” My brother screamed into my ear. I turned around half awake and quickly said “no”. For some reason I was completely freezing and I looked out my window and saw snow. Finally the little cogs in my brain started turning and I realized that I was in Lake Tahoe. My family takes a trip to Lake Tahoe every winter and we were almost there. My brother turning five this year it would probably be the first trip he remembers. What seemed like an eternity later we finally arrived at our hotel. Just like every 10 year old I was pretending to be asleep when we arrived so my dad would carry me into our room. Unfortunately it was about -100000 degrees and I was only wearing a pair of pants and short sleeves. My dad was carrying me for so long I actually fell asleep and then awoke the next day.
We were going to Wallowa Lake, which is located in Eastern Oregon. We had a six and a half hour drive ahead of us. Our trip began, as most car trips do. We loaded up on snacks and books on CDs. My parents rarely let us watch DVDs in the car as they think we need to ¨use our imaginations¨ and ¨look out the windows¨ here and there. Our big, white, Ford Expedition was filled to the max with my parents´ and my three siblings´ suitcases, camping gear, shoes, and three gigantic coolers filled with food. Those coolers filled with food will play a major part in my story.
I instantly put in my ear plugs and covered my eyes with an eye mask. I woke up eight hours later in St. Louis, Missouri with another ten hours to go. Luckily, I had packed plenty of movies to watch on the way. We got to Memphis, Tennessee around seven o’clock that night and we ate, got a hotel room, and swam. The pool was outside on the second floor, the lining of the pool was tin so it was slippery, and along with the darkness of the night swimming was a bit scary, and it had seemed as if we were in some sort of film. As we swam we saw someone had climbed onto the roof of the building next to our hotel and they

My cousin and I were the first ones ready. Finally, my parents and my sister were done and we all loaded up in the car and started to head towards my mom’s friend’s house. It was pretty far, she lived in Crosby and we live in Willis so it seemed like it took forever in a day to get there. It felt like we were driving to California all the way across the earth. It was like the longest drive ever. Well we got there after our drive that felt like eternity and a day.
I knew that today was going to be a fast pace before I even went into the building. This week we have two case managers and two teachers who are on vacation. I had seven cases that I had to address today. One the case that stood out to me was a case that involved three children and the mother. The father of the children was not around so it made the case a little harder. The three children all had some sort of infection on them, but that's not what they mother came to me for. She asked if I could help her get food stamps. I told her that we could work on it, in the middle of the conversation I notice that all three children looked like they were uncomfortable. All of the children were under the age of ten, and should be happy because
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.
Sometimes getting away from your home for a vacation is much needed for the mind and soul. For me, my favorite vacation place is the beautiful tourist city of Tawas, Michigan. My first exciting visit to Tawas was when I was ten years old. Since then, it has been an annual family trip. My favorite place in the city of Tawas is my Aunt Debbie and Uncle Danny’s cabin that overlooks Lake Huron. They kindly allow us to stay there each summer. The creaking floors and squeaky swing on the lakefront gives it special qualities to show the years of love families have experienced there. I have many treasured memories at this special location. It bring smells, feelings, thoughts, and emotions that are just what I need to refresh my mind and soul. Over the years, Tawas has become my favorite summer location because of the beautiful sites of the lake, the soothing sounds of the water, the old cabin, and the fun memories.
It was a beautiful day to try something new at Doheny State Beach in Dana Point, California. It was a long year in fourth grade, and my family and I were excited to start our summer vacation. As we pulled our trailer on the southbound I-5 freeway towards San Diego, I could see the temperature gauge on my father’s truck slowly dropping to the mid 70’s. We were in a packed car with my father, mother, older brother,younger sister, snacks and drinks everywhere, and me, entranced by the game on my brand new iPod that I recently received on my birthday. I had gone on camping trips my whole life so I was thrilled to go to a new beach and campground, but I was bewildered when we pulled into a Costco parking lot. I asked my father, “Why are we at
After you choose your destination the next thing you must do is reserve your airfare and hotel. This may be tough because there are many websites and travel agents that you can go through. I have found that it is cheaper and easier to go through Expedia.com. You can book your hotel and flight all together and pay one low price. I have also found that flying with Southwest Airlines is very cheap and they have many one way stops all across the country and for a cheap hotel that is very nice I recommend the Extended Stay America.
Almost everyone has their own idea of a dream vacation. It's the perfect place to get away from the reality of every day life and the stress that goes along with it, and the choices and ideas of the “perfect vacation” are as varied as the people who dream about them. Some fantasize about lazing on a warm, sunny beach with soft ocean breezes and a cold exotic drink at their side. Some dream of forests and wildlife, cool running streams, and fresh mountain air that is thick with the scent of pine.

There are certain memories that we have that we can remember like they happened yesterday. Many of those memories that have special meaning to me were of family vacations when I was young growing up with my brothers and sisters. Family memories are important to many of us because they take us back to a time or place that was special. One particular family vacation I remember vividly, and it’s a story I have shared with my kids on many occasions. Over the 40 or more years since that memorable vacation, I still smile and think how lucky I was growing up with a mother and father that did everything to give their kids an unforgettable memory.
