As we got closer to the date I begin getting ready for the trip. The first thing I decided I had to take was my trusty Ipod; if I didn't take it I would be music deprived. Since the weather was warm and we are near the beach I had to pack some cool tank tops and flip flops. When we get there my Grandfather always takes us to nice restraunts so I packed some pretty dresses. I knew the drive would take almost thirteen hours so I included my laptop so that I could watch movies and go on facebook to help the time pass.
Before I knew it, the time to leave had arrived. When I got home from school on Tuesday we packed the car and off we went. Dad and I decided to break the drive up into two days. After driving for eight hours, we spent the night in Charlotte North Carolina and stayed at Country Inn and Suites. We had a quick dinner at Wendy's and retired for the night. We were both exhausted.
The next day we got up at seven and had breakfast. Dad had coffee and a muffin while I had Fruit Loops. Only five more hours and we will get there. After getting there we visited for awhile and then went off to the beach. It was a beautiful day; seventy-five and sunny. Back home it was thirty and rainy.
Grandpa decided to make up a spaghetti dinner at home; it was delicious. We also had garlic bread and a salad. My dessert was the beach. Dad gave me the car keys and I strolled around watching the sunset. It was beautiful; pink, red and orange. Behind the susnet were two dolphins; they were so cute.
The next day my cousins arrived; Cameron, William, and Laura. It was Thanksgiving when they got there. My cousin Laura and I went to the beach. We stayed at the beach from ten o' clock till noon. When we got back to Grandpa's we all got dressed to go to a Thanksgiving buffet at the Golf Club. I couldn't believe all the food there was to eat. Besides turkey and all the trimmings they also had prime rib,shrimp, cat fish, and crab. Oh my God, for dessert they had chocolate supreme cake, strawberry cheesecake, and chocolate coffee cake. I stuffed myself until I couldn't eat anymore.
After Dinner we all came home and headed for the beach except for Grandpa, he stayed home. We were at the beach until it got dark and then came home.
Unfortunately we left the next day. We left around noon and stopped in West Virginia for the night. The next morning we got up around eight o' clock and drove straight through to Avon Lake. I was exhausted when I got home. Once I was unpacked Mom, Dad, my brotherScott, and I went to the Winking Lizard for dinner.
It's hard to believe that the next day I had to go to school; getting into the swing of things was going to be difficult. However, I knew in a few weeks I'd be on Chrsitmas Break. I had ski trips to look forward to going on during vacation.
that looks like a lot of fun!
