Personal Narrative: My Favorite Vacation
My Favorite Vacation
I sat at the resort’s buffet with my mom, grandparents, and my brother, while we were relaxed and we enjoyed ourselves. I could smell the salt from the seawater of Gulf of Mexico, it was a rather odd smell, it smelt bitter, fresh, and clean all at the same time. The smell was somewhat pleasurable, and was very distinct. Every morning, in the resort, I woke up to the smell of it, which was something I definitely get used to.

When my brother and I had wakened up five nights ago, we got a pleasant surprise. We would be headed to Cancun, Mexico. This was the first time I have been on vacation near the Gulf, and it amazed me how beautiful it was, and how we got there in the first place. My mom wasn’t the one to do surprises, but when she did, it was a great one.

After my great time in Cancun for five days, it was a very sad day. Although we were very relaxed

The amazing views, the great food, and the things you could do in the resort and out, like golfing and basketball, and you can’t forget, seeing the dolphin! There was so many interesting during this vacation, we couldn’t even remember them all. Then, after our great conversation, some bad news came. My mom had told us that this was the last day we would be staying here. After hearing, that I became very upset and sad at the same time, it was not news I wanted to hear. My mom said, “Although we’re leaving, this vacation has been great. I’ve always wanted to go somewhere exotic.” My grandma then said, “I wish this vacation didn’t end and that it wasn’t the last day.” I then said in a sad tone, “One day down the road, we have to do again.” A few hours later, we started packing up our bags, and got ready to head to the airport for our flight back. I wasn’t in the best of moods, but after I boarded the plane, I thought about the vacation, and how great it was overall, and that I shouldn’t look at the downside of

    My mom was in tears, she was laughing so hard. Another incident that was memorable was a one about an international For example, one steaming hot day I was at the pool they had at Lake Rudolph. I was in the pool chilling out when a kid came up to me and asked me if I wanted to toss. When I heard him say that I he had an abnormal accent. Thirty minutes when on and we talked about what we did here so far. But then the question slipped out, “Where are you from”. He said he was from Mexico. Once he said that I was in awe. I thought it was very interesting that he was from another country. I had a great time learning about what’s different in Mexico and what’s the same. The last incident that was memorable was an incident about an outdoor activity. At Lake Rudolph, there is no TV’s. Lake Rudolph made me do things outside with my family. My family and cousins wanted to enjoy the summer night at Lake Rudolph. We created a bonfire and chilled out. We chilled out by making grilling hot dogs, hamburgers, and s’mores. The burning sensation on your face from the fire and the scent of the s’mores made the night great. We sat there for three hours talking about stories from the past and what problems the world has given us at that…

    It was 2009 and I had been in sixth grade for a couple of months. I was on the phone with one of my friends from school when my mom called through my door for me to come out into the living room. I ignored her and kept talking for a few minutes when she called me out again. I rolled my eyes and told my friend I would call her right back. I walked into the living room and it seemed odd to me that both my sisters and dad were all out there too. I watched my mom take a deep breath with my dad by her side. As she began to speak her voice shook and gloss covered her eyes. “The doctors found a lump in my last mammogram.” she said. “It came back as cancer. I’m going to have to get treatment but I’m going to be okay.” No one else said a word, we all…

    The feel of 80 degree temperature, the sound of splashing water, and a super long car ride? Everything but the car ride was awesome! On my spring break this year we took a very long and boring car trip down to Arizona. It was a 18+ hour car trip just going there! I mostly slept and read the way there. First, we visited Arizona state and Arizona University. Then, we stayed at my Grandma and Grandpa’s house. But, what I mostly liked about my spring break was in Arizona there was 80-90 degree temperatures!…

    There once was a time that I went to cabo San Lucas Mexico with my family. The reason that this trip was so special too was because I got to spend a whole week with my grandparents, aunts and uncles and most importantly my parents. When we first got we went to are rooms and put are thing down then went right down to the pool. I can still remember the way the pool look and felt because I got cut on one of the tiles in the pool. One there reasons I liked the pool so much is you could just sit there and watch the sun set. Then the next day I went fishing on the beach that was so cool casting out a fishing line and sitting there waiting with family there beaches are so beautiful and nice like the ones you see in TV commercials. I haven’t even got to the best part they have a little cruise called sunset cruise. You rode on a pirate ship and watch people fight and watch the sun go down. I was a lot like the movie call peter pan. This little cruise was so special because in a hurry and I got locked out of my room I forgot to wear shoes so I was without shoes that whole night. There is one restraints that you have to go to when you are there I mean they have unreal food. They have huge tacos filled with anything you want with beans, rice and a side salad. I can taste it now. I also remember the time I went with my grandparents to the beach after the sun went down with one of my uncles. You have experienced nothing until that happened I mean the sand nice and cold between your toes swimming in the ocean you feel so free and wild. That is why cabo San Lucas Mexico is so special to me. I have a lot of good memories there with my…

    Have you ever wanted to take a long walk on the beach alone? Well, I have when I was four years old. I stayed in a white motel called, "The Atlantis" off the shore of old Orchard Beach, Maine.

    I returned back from vacation this week and it was nice to see all the children’s smiling faces. The parent’s express how they missed me as well as their children. This makes me love my job even more. This week there was a two year old child who had a seizure at the center; this was scary for the children, staff, as well I. 911 had to be called out to the center. We all have had CPR and first aid training so we were comfortable with handling the case until the ambulance reached us. However, we were not so prepared when the child stopped breathing. This was a learning experience, but I do not want to do it again. I want all my children safe and happy. I had to ride with the child to the hospital till her mother was reached and notified what…

    One of my most unforgettable memory was when we rented a small house near a beach. We still have yet to visit the falls. It was early in the morning where the sun has still yet to meet the sky. It was just my cousin and I sitting comfortably in the white sand. Everyone else were still fast asleep which automatically placed us to guard our belongings. I did not know of what my cousin was doing beside me but I vividly remembered how the cool breeze grazed against my skin while I set my eyes on the beautiful scenery in front of me. I held my legs close to my heart and admired the vastness and beauty of the sea. I remembered thinking back to few splendid memories while in the trip. It may not be written anywhere but in our minds and souls. First, I remembered the sing-a-longs we sang while in the car during the road trip. Lastly, are the fun times we all helped in preparing our dinner by grilling the ribs upon arriving at the small house and how we all looked so youthful and full of gleeful grins while teasing each other back and forth. After reminiscing those amazing memories, it made me feel warm inside and smile at how a hasty trip with several setbacks created a solid bond of unity amongst fellow cousins. Nevertheless, the serendipitous memory at the beach will be a constant reminder for a bigger lesson to save for the future. That memory in the beach made me realize how wrong I was to judge how a situation based only on the complications. Moreover, it made me discover what it actually means to enjoy life in the smallest bits found in…
