A Family Vacation
In this passage I am going to describe one of my best memories growing up as a child. One family event that I always enjoyed doing and was always patiently waiting on its arrival was the family summer vacation. Our summer vacation wasn’t like many kids but we made the best by going to hang with our grandmother. Every summer every child in the world wishes to spend most of the time playing, eating chocolates & ice-cream and visiting the most exotic places of the world. Their dream is being full filled in their summer vacations. In these summers my parents planed to take me along with my siblings to our grandmother’s home that is situated in a small town named Elaine, Arkansas. We considered it as a great plan because growing up there for such a small time it would be nice to go visit again. For us, going down was the best thing that ever happened to us because our grandmother still stayed about 45mins away from us and we wanted to see her everyday almost. So the next day when school gets out for the summer break, we would run home and pack our bags and wait for our parents to arrive home to take us on our summer vacation. Our grandmother was very excited about seeing us as we were visiting her after such a long time. Our grandmother lived with one of our uncles and one aunt. The house was kind of crowded due to her having not enough room for everybody but she was excited about our stay and would always say “I love to have my grandchildren around”. Now don’t get me wrong but Elaine is a small and beautiful place filled with a lot of stores and different monuments to look at. There is a famous china man shop where most people would go and buy goods for their families. We use to always ask her for small amounts of money just to go to the store and buy snacks such as Little Debbie Cakes and drinks. One day my aunt’s friend came along with her daughter named Tasha to leave her at our home as she was going out of town for some important business. Tasha was the most

    My mother thankfully had a backup plan. “We will stay with my cousins they don’t live too far from here”. I had no clue who or what she was talking about, but none the less we caught a taxi and made our way to her cousin’s house. When we pulled up to this little home, we were greeted outside with big hugs and kisses. I had never met these people, but they had acted as they knew me for all my life, I had never felt more welcomed. As we walked inside, I noticed…

    We had all travelled, for the past two days, in a mini bus from Canada to America. My aunt recommended us to go to America on a tour, as we could see far more attractions than that in Canada. The bus had a very warm and pleasant mood as we had seen enjoyed our short but pleasant, trip thoroughly. From the Empire State Building to the Statue of Liberty we not only had the pleasure of seeing some of the greatest tourist attractions in the world but also spending time who began as strangers but now very close friends.…

    It was time for us to start planning our summer vacation. We had a family meeting and our choices this year were Niagara Fall or South Carolina. We had all the information about each place in front of us. We all sat at the kitchen table and went through the areas of interest and voted on Niagara Falls. It was a unanimous vote. All the plans were made and set for August 8, 2011. We had no idea how much we would enjoy this place which left us memories to last a lifetime.…

    Pushing past my anxiety and entering the family’s home, I look around me and took in the large, multi-purpose room. Scattered amongst the large wooden dining table, couches, and television, the sentimental trinkets and children’s toys added warmth to the small home. Although the walls were unfinished and half-painted, the home felt lived-in and cherished. The air was stale and warm, yet the room exuded an air of sweet, beloved family memories. Immediately,…

    There are several small holes drilled around the shell and one in the center. The holes are to release air that might get caught under the shell. A string was attached into the center hole that winds down into the belly of the turtle and around a spool. The spool is attached to both short ends of the turtle’s shell, with a rubber band that rolls the string around the spool. This is the string that is used like a yo-yo to walk the turtle. The only difference is that you don’t tie the string on your finger.…

    About ten years ago, my parents decided to take a family vacation to Disney World and Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. At the time, my family was hosting an exchange student from Germany named Claudia. My grandmother was also invited to join us on our trip to Florida. When we arrived at the Indianapolis International Airport, my brother forgot one of his bags in the car. He put up a big fight about going back to get it, and he caused us to miss our flight. We had to wait four more hours for another flight down to Orlando, but we eventually made it to our destination.…

    Finally, after so many years I am on my way home, “second” home after my parents’. I feel very excited, as it is not just a house that I used to rent, but a “magic” place, where being away from my parents I could experience home comfort. I haven’t been there for about five years since I graduated from University, and I miss it a lot. This time is going to be a short stay, for only a few days, but I am glad I can spend it there. That place made my school time enjoyable, and the landlady Maria treated me like her own granddaughter. She was a lovely and a very kind-hearted person and could cheer me up when I needed it most. All my friends and I loved her because of her young and vibrant mind with a trusting spirit. Despite of her age, she remained a very beautiful creature; her blue eyes and warm smile could make anyone feel welcome. With the snow-white hair she was almost like an angel. Her house itself was very charming although not fashionable; it was more like country style. Wooden furniture made from logs and twigs, roughly cut and sawn with no ornate, looked very simple and straight. I loved the kitchen with its old open-shelved dresser, wooden draining racks for plates above the sink, and the big wooden table decorated with dried flowers. The handmade wool rugs on the floor and the linen curtain on the windows reflected in warmth and cosiness. She surrounded herself with the things she loved. Each item in the house had a story and had been created, or collected, and displayed with love and passion. Her house was the perfect place on the Earth to be on a cold winter’s night. I remember myself sitting by the wooden fire oven, chatting with my friends and Maria about anything, and drinking something warm and delicious. These moments have become one of the most memorable since I was a student.…

    Our summer trips always began in the same way. My siblings and I moped around the house whining about the injustice of being subjected to such a boring fate. In the hope of soliciting our interest, my father pulled out maps and brochures depicting an endless array of possible tourist attractions. My mother, choosing a different line of attack, spent a small fortune buying a myriad of snacks, games, and books, which were intended to entertain us for six days. Regardless of their efforts, we spent most of our time endlessly fighting and bickering among ourselves. Usually, by the third day of our journey, even my mother was obliged to join us in this noisy pursuit. Today, my sister, brothers, and I laughingly agree one of our fondest trip memories is of our mother, leaning across the back of the front seat, flailing her arms wildly in an effort to smack us, while we cowered in the back of the station wagon. In recent years, my family has spent countless hours happily reminiscing about the once dreaded summer crossings. Amazingly, sometime during the passing decades, like a flower…

    When I was nine years old, my grandmother died. She and I were extremely close and, even though she would never admit it, I was her favorite grandchild of the six. With this being said, her passing hit me hard, to say the least. Now, her death did not come as a complete surprise to the rest of the family. She had been battling different forms of Cancer for almost ten years by that point. But of course, as a little girl, I never saw any of that. It’s true that to have ignorance is bliss, and as a young child, I was of no short supply.…
