In Chapter 9 we will be reading about exciting and adventurous vacations. Some people like to go to the beach, while others enjoy the mountains. Some travel to another country, but some stay to enjoy what their country has to offer. For this blog, write about a vacation you had. It could have been a long vacation or as short as a day or weekend thing.
Here's one of my experiences:
One of my best vacations was unplanned. My aunt and grandmother were going to Chicago (my hometown) in the summer of 2004, and my cousin decided to join them with her kids. Then my other cousin and my sister said they wanted to go, too. Of course, I couldn't stay behind or leave my son and mom. We ended up with 13 family members going!!
It was a great vacation......our family in Chicago was very happy, too. It was like old times. We celebrated our cousin's birthday Hawaiian style and went out to many places. It was the first time for our kids getting on a plane and for many of us meeting other family members.
Some of the places we went to were the Sears Tower, the Shedd Aquarium, the Museum of Science and Industry, and Lincoln Park Zoo. We also went to Navy Pier where I had never gone to before. It's near the lake with a boardwalk (something like La Guancha). There are places to eat, rides, many shops, and live music. It's a great place to hang out. The best was Great America. It's an amusement park and we got to get on some awesome rollercoaster rides! I loved it!!
One of my cousins and I had to return earlier because of our jobs. It was so sad saying good-bye. It felt like the first time I came to live in Puerto Rico. Lots of tears!! I hope to go back soon!
TASK: Write about one of your vacations. Tell us where you went and what you did. What did you enjoy the most? What made it an unforgettable vacation?
