My family and I always look forward to our vacations in Daytona, Florida during the frigid winter break.

My Uncle would always pick out the best oranges. My mouth waters every time I think about how sweet they are. Usually bedtime is always a problem for me, but in Florida I fell asleep like a baby. It’s not just the beach, but the things that surround it soothe me. I’m comforted by the sounds of the ocean and I love sleeping on the balcony. I fell asleep to the sound of the waves smacking onto the shore and gently moving back into the sea. I loved feeling the wind caress on my

Not to mention there were no clouds, it remained just the blue sky looking down at the beach. Well, the skies would change from spring to summer to autumn colors throughout each day. As I would meander on the balcony, I saw white sparkling sand. It had little rocks wondering going all the way down to the water. Towards the water, it was dark brown and smooth. Each…

Cruise-Personal Narrative

Really, why did I not want to come on this cruise? It’s amazing! The sparkling blue sea, the soft wind. I stretched my legs out on the pearly white lounge chair, a sparkling water held by my tan hands. I flicked my blond hair out of my eyes, and gazed out onto the ocean. Someone coughed next to me. I looked over, and saw my cousin, my annoying cousin, Jimmy Pier. He’s always being jerky to me, and making fun of my lack of sports. Everyone thinks he’s the best ever, with his shaggy brown hair…

with the tide. These thoughts always seem to cross my mind once my bare feet have edged into any form of water.
