I turn over on my beach towel to allow the sun to penetrate my back. As the warmth spreads throughout my back, I sigh in content into my colorful beach towel. My towel is a comfort as it has been my designated beach towel for years. It brings back many wonderful memories of friends and family outings to the coast. I stretch out feeling the relaxed satisfaction of warm, lengthened muscles atop of soft woven cotton.
The bright green palm trees were everywhere, making my trip feel so real although I felt like I was in a dream my whole experience was so amazing. As I walked along the tropical beaches, the sand pressing into my toes and the sounds of the crashing waves were
During the drive to our first stop I saw many beautiful sites; mountains, lakes, rivers, forests... the nature was truly amazing! We even saw black tail deer and elk roaming right along side of the road. Our first stop was the city of Aberdeen but we only visited Gray's Harbor for an hour to stretch our legs and see if we could spot any gray whales but we didn't see any. Our next stop was beautiful Ruby Beach in the town of Kalaloch. You have to walk a trail through the forest to get to the beach and we enjoyed it so much!
The Florida Gators were playing that day so after we dropped our luggage off at our cabin, my boyfriend and I went to Crockett’s tavern to watch the game. Unfortunately the Gators lost to the Bulldog’s 17-9 and that led to one too many shots. After the game, instead of joining the rest of our family at the campfire I turned in and called it a night. The following morning I think I was the first one up, even before the kids! After breakfast we went to the dock and caught a boat to The Magic Kingdom.
We didn't stay on the beach long, we all wanted to get a good nights sleep. My step-sisters Katy and Bethany have never been to Cedar Point before and the last time i was there was 8yrs ago. None of us could fall asleep, we were all to excited to go enjoy the huge amusment park. When our parents woke us up the next morning we all rushed around, even tho we had plenty of time before we got into the park an hour early. After we were all ready we ate breakfast at a very crowded resturant.
Unexpectedly, one day fourteen years later, Allie came across an article in the paper about Noah rebuilding an old plantation house that he loved since he was a child. He and Allie spent many nights together in that old house. She found herself speechless and shaky. She read the article over and over again, thinking this must be a dream. Consequently, after three weeks of distraction and utter disbelief of stumbling across Noah in the paper, she decided that she needed to go and see him one more time.
I slowly awoke after the 18-hour van ride to Harlan County, Kentucky. I peered outside and saw the sun ferociously beating down against the earth. Eager to leave the van, which smelled of sports drinks, chips and two days’ worth of unshowered teenagers, I stepped out and my lungs immediately filled with the hot and humid summer air. We had arrived at our destination: an elementary school in Appalachia. This was the first step of a one week journey that would change my view on life.
It took me about two weeks to get used to being in such a hot and dry place. Once everyone was used to everything, me and the other mechanics got our trucks ready for the drive to Baghdad; since I was a mechanic there was a lot of long days making sure everything was ok for the long road trip. Then the day came for us to drive to Baghdad it was on July 5th we left Kuwait, and it was going to be a two day trip to make to where we were going . I had no clue what to expect when I got there, so it was a total shock to see how these people were living. They had whole families living in a little mud shack that was no bigger than 10 by 10 feet, and there were
It is almost seems like a vacation in itself for Phil. Instead of relaxing on the weekend, Phil chooses a new wardrobe at work for relaxation. Goodman even gives the exact time of Phil’s death, as though it were just part of his everyday, planned routine. She writes, “So when he finally worked himself to death, at precisely 3a.m. Sunday morning, no one was really surprised” (77-79).
With that being said my favorite location would be Biloxi Mississippi. I go in June because I also love the summer time. The scenery and summer smells are great. People barbequing and kids enjoying the summer sun. Just a Great feeling.
