a road trip to Colorado with my church group. It was supposed to be one of the best weeks of our lives‚ and it was. We still reminisce about Colorado and talk about going back and visiting almost every single day. The experiences we gained while working with others is one that taught me valuable lessons. Up until I went on this trip‚ I was a sand-in-your-hair‚ sand-on-your-feet‚ salt water type of person. I could have lived on the beach my entire life and still never feel as if I’ve had my fill of

reflect on the last fishing trip the two of us young bucks spent along the secluded shores of the Little Manitou River. In many ways‚ this last trip spent in the coniferous forests of Minnesota’s Arrowhead Region‚ really envelopes who Tim was and why I so looked up to him.

Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby when the phone shook my caffeine-laced nerves

clutching the hands of my dad‚ walking barefoot on the rocks atop this river was taken on our family’s trip to the Grand Canyon.

Actually‚ believe it or not‚ this particular body of water wasn’t even the real canyon. It actually was a pretty insignificant stream trickling through the Sedona Desert. You see‚ my mom decided our family should go on a trip to the Grand Canyon

It was the middle of spring in 2004 when Ethan‚ my best bud from high school; and I were going on a hunting trip. We went on this long hunting trip every year to get away from the wife’s. So we would drive out to Colorado in his old 1985 Ford Bronco‚ or the “Wronco” as we call it. On our way to Colorado we were bumping to some good ole. “Redneck Souljers”. As we enter the Colorado border Ethan says to me‚ “How come every trip we make out here always starts by it snowing right as we cross the border

many vacations before but in the last year I went to another state that I have never been to before. I would love to get out and travel but with my parents work schedule and my work schedule we never seem to get to go on many vacations. This summer I am going on a vacation that is out of the country. I am honestly nervous to go on this vacation‚ because my parents will not be going with me. Another reason is because I have never been out of the United States before. This past summer I visited West

There are not very many big things in my life that have changed the person I am now but I think that my first trip to Hawaii may be one of the very few events that have. I think that through this experience I have since loved exploring and traveling to new places which is a quality that I think is a big part of who I am.

small memory follows you for the rest of your life. This is just one of those things‚ and even though it’s small...I’m perfectly fine with that. During the summer‚ I was able to go on a mission trip to Cass Lake‚ Minnesota; where we stayed for about a week or so. One of the most significant parts of the trip‚ for me‚ was on our last day when we went to a senior center. On that particular day at the senior center‚ we made birthday cards with the elderly there‚ and everyone was paired up with an elderly
