There are two vacation spots I frequently visited in my youth that hold special memories for me. The two places are Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and Gatlinburg, Tennessee. When I was very young and lived in South Florida, my family would make our yearly two-week vacation to our home in Boone, NC. Each year, this trip included a visit to Gatlinburg. I hold very special memories of these trips and still love to visit the Gatlinburg area. When I moved to North Carolina in my late teens, Myrtle Beach was the vacation and summer break spot. Even on my first visit to Myrtle Beach, although very different, it instantly reminded me of my trips to Gatlinburg as a child. Although both places are very different, in many ways they are very much the same. After going from the vacationing child, to the paying adult, I realized more and more how both places appeal to the same vacationer. I also realized that forms of entertainment were either the same or comparable. Myrtle Beach and Gatlinburg compliment and differ in many ways, and a few of those examples are stage entertainment, restaurants, and scenic vacation experiences. Both vacation spots have tons of entertainment. Sometimes the problem with family vacation spots is not what are we going to do, but how are we going to do it all In Myrtle Beach, some of my favorite entertainment activities are Big Laughs Theatre Wild 4 Hypnosis Comedy Show. Located in Surfside Beach, SC, this show is a belly-laughing good time. This show consists of audience members being hypnotized and doing funny things they do not remember. The show is great for all ages, which makes it a family favorite. Another fun entertaining place in Myrtle Beach is The Carolina Opry. The Carolina Opry is the only show named, Top Attraction in Myrtle Beach by CNN, New York Times, and USA Today, just to name a few. Shows at this location would include, Light, a laser light show to music such as The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin, Good…
This trip wasn’t like the others, it was a vacation compared to the other high adventure camps. We flew down to Miami and drove to the base, which was in the Florida Keys. The next day we took two warrior canoes, which were canoes the fit about seven people in each, and paddled five miles out to and island where we would stay for the next six days. Instead of hiking or climbing mountains, our trip consisted of tenting out on an island where we fished, snorkeled and kayaked for the next week. My favorite part about this trip was relaxing in a hammock for hours watching the tides change. This was a dramatic change from my two previous summers of hard labor and exhausting hiking and canoeing; but it taught me that hard work pays…
We were only going to be there for four days and three nights, so I decided to make the most of my beautiful surroundings. Later, they showed us which cabins we would be staying in with three other people, and we would be…
Every year, my family and I take a camping trip to somewhere different. Someplace new and exciting. Since I was living in Hessville at the time, Lake Holiday was a new place to us… Usually, we travel far distances to go camping but this was just a mere 45 minutes. A lot of my extended family lives in Roselawn or DeMotte so the place wasn’t unfamiliar to my family. It was a Wednesday when we started to pack up our things.…

Have you ever been to some place that was more of where you wanted to be but also didn’t want to be at some point of time? Try taking a vacation somewhere you have never been. When I was fifteen years old, I went on a vocational trip to Tuscan, Arizona with my favorite uncle and his amazingly cool wife. We attended many different things and went to many different places. I also got to ride on the tall mountain which at that point was a cool thing. There were some things that made me unhappy and some that made me dramatically excited.…
But once I arrived during that summer I immediately knew that I have missed out on so much. I stayed at my grandma's house the entire time there. We had heard story after story of my dad and her living their interesting lives. We later drove around the island and went to places that were so beautiful and had such amazing food. Once the day came for departure from the islands, I didn't want to go. But coming back to Hanford after learning so much has made a mindset of mine that I want to go to college in…
For the 4th of July, my family is going to Hawaii this summer. We will celebrate my mom's 40th birthday and my grandma’s 70th birthday. I have never been to Hawaii before in my life, so I'm really thrilled. We are staying at the Honua Kai Resort on Kaanapali Beach in Maui for a week. We are also going with my mom's parents and my Aunt Jaime and Uncle Travis. Our condo on the beach is a three bedroom, three bathroom layout. It's going to be really spacious with amazing views of the Pacific Ocean. I am most looking forward to snorkeling because I've never gone before, and I’ll try to see some sea turtles. Hopefully, I won't run into any sharks. I'm sure we will do a lot of other fun things as a family, too.…
When I was 7 years old my family and I decided to go on a long adventurous vacation. We didn’t have all the money in the world like we wanted but we made it happen and worked hard for the money we did have. To decide on a vacation spot we all sat down at the family table to write down what each person wanted as our vacation. It was me, my brother, my little sister, my step mom and my dad. When we wrote down where we wanted to go we put it in a bowl and whichever one my dad drew out of the bowl we were going, it’s as fair as it gets in my house.…
