I just watched T.V. and chilled out both days. Except on Saturday night the Coronado High School boys were playing their most important game of the year, so my family and went and cheered them on. Then, on Monday and Tuesday I was really busy with water polo. Both days I had a water polo clinic from eleven to two with a retired Hungarian Olympian. I also had practice from four thirty to six thirty; more people came to Monday's practice than Tuesdays. On Monday night the U.S.A.

My parents and I were so happy. My parents let me choose what to eat and I said tortas. I sadly had to go to sleep at around 10pm. I could not sleep though, I just played games until I got tired which was at around 2:00am. It was the best day ever.

I had so much fun at the aquarium. I saw dolphins, sharks, and we even got to pet the sting rays. Next, we went to a nearby Turkish restaurant for lunch. We ordered 5 gyros, they were topped with a delicious white sauce and were so flavorful. Afterward we went to a park and played on the swings, went down the slide and climbed the monkey bars. All of us had fun, but we were exhausted. We went back to the rental and played some video games. Soon after my mom shouted, “Come eat dinner!” Then me and my sisters raced down the stairs and went right to the dining room. We ate to our fill and then we went right to

I woke up inside my college dorm bathroom, the only light that was filtering was through the filmy windows high above the showers. I was also alone, tried opening the door, only to find out I was trapped. Then I realized that it’s the first morning of Thanksgiving Break, and since the dorms were cleared out and locked, I’m stuck for the next four days. I usually have my phone with me at all times but this time i didn't realize I had left it in my roommate's bed and I wished I knew how I ended up sleeping in the restroom.

Hello! I hope your Thanksgiving was rejuvenating and enjoyable with family and friends. This is Angelia (Angel) Hirsch from the summer practicum course through Liberty University.

I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving Break! I know I enjoyed a nice home cooked meal, however, the reason I am emailing you is to make sure I don 't have my "final grade docked" because I didn 't send in excuses for my absences.

Everything happened last summer during vacation. Every year my family plans some wild, adventurous trip, and last year we were going to visit some of the states in the northeastern United States. The trip was going fine until we arrived at the state of New Hampshire. We were going to camp there for a few days, and that was when my parents announced that we were all going to climb Mount Washington. I was not too thrilled by this idea, in fact, I was relatively annoyed. Let me just say, that I did not want to climb to the top of Mount Washington. The thought of climbing this mountain just did not interest me. In the past, we had done many other pretty extreme hikes, and I wondered why this one would be any different. My parents, on the other hand, were both very enthusiastic about this. However, my brother fell somewhere in between, interested, yet not. Despite my parents’ opinions about the climb, I still tried to protest, saying that it would not be that great. Until the day of the hike finally came.

I am going to be taking you to my favorite vacation spot which happens to be 4,403 miles away from where we live. The only way to get to there is by plane, which is the worst part about going to this destination. The plane ride is around 10 hours from Detroit Metropolitan Airport. This state is made up of eight different islands which are surrounded by the North Pacific Ocean. The place I will be talking about is Hawaii.

It all started on a summer day, I went to nags head beach with my family. We got a big beach house with my whole family and a few friends. This was about 4 years but it feels like it was just the other day. We went at the very end of the summer. It was still nice and warm outside.
