Florida vacation

It was finally summer break. I had been waiting for it since the school year started nine

months ago. My parents had told my brothers and I that we would be going on a vacation in

June, but they didn’t tell us where until the day before we left. We were going to Florida! I could

not wait. The next morning it was time to pack up and leave. We had to drive there since my

parents couldn’t afford plane tickets for a family of six at the time. I packed up all my things and

put them in the floorboard storage by my seat. I got a car tv for the ride there, and I had all of my

favorite movies with me to watch. Finally, we left. Getting there felt like an eternity, it was 39

hours just to get there! By that evening, we …show more content…
My parents and brothers were excited to go back home, but I was not at

all. I wanted to stay so badly, but we couldn’t just leave our life behind and start a new one. We

have too much family in Colorado to do that. I fell asleep right away because I was exhausted.

The next morning, I woke up and we were in Texas. We had to drive through Texas all day.

Around 2;30 pm we stopped at Mcdonalds to see my dad’s old friend. Then, he took us to a park.

It was cool because there were a bunch of airplanes all over the park that we got to climb. After

that, we went to stay at my old friend’s house in Houston. I hadn’t seen her in almost ten years,

but we still talked to each other like best friends. Her name is Beleny. Her mom took us out to

dinner at a restaurant called Clay’s. It was delicious. After dinner, we went back to her house.

Beleny’s uncle took us to the store so we could get food. We went to her house and fell asleep to

a movie. The next morning, my parents and I left really early so we could get home. We stopped

for lunch at Grumpy’s pizza. Then, we got to go on a 24 mile bridge. We drove all day and we

didn’t get back to colorado springs until one in the morning. I got a taco from Monica’s

Personal Narrative: My Vacation To Florida

We always took summer vacations to Florida, making it in just six hours. Our small six-seater airplane, packed full of luggage, my two sister, grandparents and me. I would always imagine that I was flying it, controlling the copilot yoke while sitting on my grandma's lap. I couldn’t even see over they control panel, so I knew my grandpa was still in control. I remember staring at the controls and being very confused by all the numbers, gauges and buttons. My grandpa swiftly pushed buttons, measures…

Personal Narrative: My Vacation In Florida

When I was vacationing in Florida a few years ago I had stopped at a abandoned amusement park. While I was there I lumbered closer to a fun house that had creepy clowns. After I quickly left that area, I came across a ball pit that was filled with the debris of balls that looked they were dirty white mottled with red. I contemplated going in the ball pit and seeing if there was a carcass on the bottom, but I think it was best I didn’t. It wasn’t too long until a tall man brusquely told me to get…
