I remember dragging my sled up the snow-covered hill over and over again in order to race down as fast as I could. The

You can be in a van on a road trip for days and as long as you have something to be entertained with‚ time flies by fast. On our way to Mexico‚ I can remember my mom and

“Famous”‚ there’s two things that pop into my head‚ and what they mean to me. The first thing is a person‚ who is good and something or has a special talent. The other thing that comes to mind when the word “Famous” is used is someone who has fans and fortune.

My Favorite Vacation I sat at the resort’s buffet with my mom‚ grandparents‚ and my brother‚ while we were relaxed and we enjoyed ourselves. I could smell the salt from the seawater of Gulf of Mexico‚ it was a rather odd smell‚ it smelt bitter‚ fresh‚ and clean all at the same time. The smell was somewhat pleasurable‚ and was very distinct. Every morning‚ in the resort‚ I woke up to the smell of it‚ which was something I definitely get used to.
