I felt the excitement jolting through me when my Mom told me she and I were going to Panama City Beach, Florida for a week. We had wanted to go the since school dismissed for summer break, but had no luck finding a place to stay. Three days before we were due to leave, my mom found a good price for a beachfront condominium for the week of June eleventh through June eighteenth. I had been to Panama City Beach before, but I always enjoy returning because it is always a good atmosphere and lots of fun to explore. On my vacation to Panama City Beach, Florida this summer, I enjoyed time with my mom, going swimming, and encountering people from all over the United States. My mother and I wanted to embark on the ten-hour journey south to Panama …show more content…
We woke up, went to the beach and swam in the ocean. We continued to eat seafood from various restaurants and look around for souvenirs to buy for ourselves and family. The fourth day turned out to be somewhat different. When we awoke, it was not sunny nor clear outside. The weather had become cloudy. No one was in the ocean and I thought “it is a little odd for no one to be in the water yet,” I did not think anything of it at the time. I figured the weather would pass through so I told my mom we could head to the pool today for a little change. When we went down to find chairs to sit in, we chose to sit next to a mother and daughter from Kentucky around the same age as my mom and I. As we got to talking to one another we realized we had the same interests. I enjoyed meeting them and hope to see them again someday. While in conversation, the mother brought up that there had been a fourteen-foot shark swimming near the shore earlier in the morning. The news of the shark was shocking to me because if I had chosen to go to the ocean earlier in the morning instead of the pool, I could have been in serious danger of an attack. Mom and I later went out to dinner in the evening to another one of our favorite restaurants, the Shrimp Basket. Our meal was once again fabulous; Another great night was spent in Panama City
Besides, my family was going to New York! We had been planning our trip since autumn of the ear before and now, in March, we were finally going. I have always enjoyed traveling and being a small town girl, it is always exciting to visit a big city, especially one that you often see on film, or read about it in the books and magazines. Oh arriving at LaGaurdia airport by night,
We thought we could visit the family and have some fun. When we arrived in California, our family had a surprise for us. They all came to meet us at our auntie’s house. My sister and I were going to stay at my auntie’s house, so we weren’t expect everyone to be there. It was nice since we met everyone at once instead of having to drive all over the Bay Area to meet them.
For the extra credit assignment, I decided to visit Cedar Key. I chose Cedar Key because it is the closest coastal town to Gainesville. During my visit to Cedar Key, I explored the charming city center. I also visited the state park which contained a museum and the Whitman home which allowed me to learn more about the history of Cedar Key.
I have always enjoyed exploring the world, but the adventure that always sticks out the most was my cruise to the tropical paradise of Bermuda. I have cruised to the Bahamas, as well as spent countless weeks of my lifetime in the Outer Banks. The cruise to Bermuda was only my second time out of the country, leaving from Baltimore, Maryland one Friday afternoon and arriving on the shores of the tropical island on Sunday afternoon. Waking up on a Saturday in the beginning of August and being able to look out the window and seeing water for as far as you can see is a one time thing and an experience like no other. The days spent traveling the open seas, gives you the chance to live life while leaving all of your baggage back on shore.
my mom yelled from another room. “Yes mom I’m awake.” We met our friends at Cape Canaveral. The drive was about two hours long.
I feel like during this time my love for the beautiful State of Florida and all that it had to offer was slowly diminishing. After five years of not being able to experience The Keys and all that it had to offer it was finally a break in my sports schedule and It was time to head down south. I was eager to go back because I hadn’t been in so long but also a little nervous because I wondered if I was going
It was finally the day I got to see my mom after two whole months. She moved to Florida to find a house down there so I could move down with her. For two months it was basically misery. I have never been two weeks without her, let alone 2 months. I was heartbroken and she was too.
It was a windy Saturday evening, and the sun was close to setting. My family and I had been on Galveston Island for about 20 minutes. When we made it to the hotel, we told that is would be another 45 minutes until our room was ready. Because of this we took a walk on a pier that was across the street. The pier extended out over the water and ended with a spot for fishing.
The Punta Cana Vacation Have you ever had a vacation where your child does something horrible in public at a swimming pool? A vacation is when one or more people are gone for an extended period of time. When I was four years old me, my mother, my father, my grandpa, and my grandma went to Punta Cana to get away from the cold weather. It has been happening, ever since we left Illinois and Missouri. So, we boarded the plane and took off to Punta Cana, everyone was either taking a nap or watching a movie while the plane was moving.
O is for ocean. I went to the ocean twice in my whole life. I went to Florida and Texas. I went to Florida when I was a baby. Then I went to Texas two years ago when I was eleven.
Running up and down the wooden stairs, so that I can pack for my trip to Miami. As I a throwing my clothes into the pink leopard suitcase, I just sniff baked bacon from the kitchen. I knew mama was cooking breakfast before I leave for Miami and therefore I had to put something in my belly before I took off. I am really excited to go Miami this summer because it is the most southerly city in the United States. Miami is a memorable trip to me because of South Beach, the varied of restaurants and the Everglades.
I started to convince my parents that we could take a trip to Saint Louis. “We’ll go for one day, and one day only” my parents told me after thinking long and hard about it. When Saturday came around, the excitement I had could barely be contained. The whole family, which was just my parents, sister, and I, all got into the car early that morning just thinking it was going to be a day full of fun.
We all decided that today would be the day that we headed out to the beach. We packed everything up and started the 5 minute drive over to a good spot to meet up with some friends. My stepdad went deep sea diving with one of his coworkers, and mom was out sunbathing. I
Coming to Miami I can still remember that gloomy sky on October 21st 2001. It seemed like a normal day to me, yet that day would change my life forever. I remember my mother rushing around the house trying to gather my brother’s clothes while I just sat on the floor observing so much commotion around me. For an 8 year old, I was a very hipper child. I ran around the house, climbed trees, sat on the roof top which was 3 floors high.
My Trip to Florida It was a cold winter night in Upstate New York. My mom and dad were enjoying a cup of coffee, my sisters were playing video games, and I was editing a few pictures on my computer. My mom brought up the idea of a vacation. She said” We haven’t been on a vacation for a long time”.
