I was spending that summer in California, Orange County, My parents and I decided we should spend are summer together in California because it's 4 hours driving to Tempe, Arizona. My Aunt as well had a house there, so it was convenient for all of us to stay at her house for the summer vacation. The day when I was supposed to take off to Arizona, my brother and father decided they would drive there, and help me unpack my stuff. It approximately took us 6 hrs with traffic to get us to Tempe, we stayed in a hotel for one night because the move in day was the day after. We woke up the next and went to Hassy dorms, all students were moving in, that's when I started to feel comfortable and unfrightened with my stay in college. My father
30 minute drive we finally got there. I got out of the car and put all my pads
Every summer since third grade my Mother would put me through her version of summer school. While my older sister Vanessa had the summer to relax.
Over the summer Megan and I went to Wisconsin with her family . It was an outstanding trip with my best friend. We went to many different places and got all kinds of things. We stayed for 6 days. We stayed in a cabin on Lake Twin.
My sister invited me to her house in Sugar Grove, a small town right outside of Chicago. My two sisters, Lilly and Grace were coming with, to spend the weekend with my sister and her fiance, Mike. After packing everything we needed for the weekend, we drove 2 hours and 30 minutes there.
Last summer before school started my sister and I were told that we were going on a trip to Ute Lake in New Mexico. We had never been to New Mexico before, so we were super excited. We were told that we were taking my dad's cousin's jet ski with us. My sister and I could not wait to go to New Mexico.
We packed everything we had into U-Haul in the safety the night provided. In about four hours of continuous packing our roots were lifted. We headed due south to a place called High Island, Texas. I had only been there one time before when I was little. The justifications of why we chose High Island, which was six hours from our home, was one of my aunt’s lived there and the distance from home was great.
It was in the summer of 1999 when my family decided to take a camping trip to Colorado. I was a typical 15 year old high school student, which meant family vacations were "lame" in my eyes.
The day came, we had to drive about two hours to the Milwaukee airport. The plane ride was about two and a half hours and
12 hours. At the time, it seems like such a long trip. 12 hours on the road. Little did I know that in those twelve hours I would come to place that would change my outlook on life.
We drove for a solid 4 hours and then pulled into a gas station to fill the tank up and eat. After that we drove a little longer and then we pulled into an RV park. My grandma went inside and talked them into letting us stay a couple nights. She made up some sad story about how we've been homeless, living in our car and
The last time I did something challenging was probably this summer when my brother in law left for Afghanistan. It was extremely hard for my family.
When we got to the airport our plane got delayed because of bad wind. We ended up staying at the airport overnight. Then we made it home and dropped our parents off at the funeral home.
Our original plan had been to drive all night. That went out the window around 2 am. My dad, who had been driving the whole time, was exhausted and declared it was time to stop. This part of the trip has always been the hardest and, yet, the most amusing. It is close to impossible to find a decent hotel with a room for 6 people open. After another half hour, we came to a hotel with an open room. We tiredly piled out of the car, got the essential items, and went up to our room.
I could stay at her house the night before we met. But there was a
The best vacation my family ever took was one that we didn’t stress on planning. My husband and I kept it simple. We packed our bags early and hid
