Entry#4 ¨My Favorite Summer Vacation¨

 

A long time ago I went to the beach. Before leaving, we loaded all the beach equipment into the car. Driving down the road, my sister, my two brothers and I sang songs to keep from falling into the depths of boredom. Deciding where to stop for dinner was a challenge. We each wanted to eat at a different restaurant. Finally, Dad stopped at the Subway restaurant. I chose Italian Classic, pepperoni and salami slices, with my favourite cheese. We all had a natural drink and some delicious macadamia biscuits for dessert. At first we hoped to reach our destination, Playa Tamarindo, before midnight, but it seemed impossible. Just after crossing the border at Playa Conchal, my father stopped at a hotel. Quietly so as not to wake the others staying with us. There is never a dull moment when we are together, I remember my brother tripping and falling over a chair that was stuck in the middle of the road, we all laughed our heads off on the other side, of course we were very tired from our trip, so we rested all day. Ready to go to the beach I had forgotten something very important. At the end of the day I was quite sunburnt. I hadn't put any sunscreen on. I was too sunburnt to go out and have fun. Undaunted, I lay down on the sofa to watch TV. Very unhappy about this terrible mishap, I moaned and groaned. As I rested, I dreamed of the fun I was missing. Extremely bored, with one day to go home, I prayed for a cure. However, I was already cured. I got up from the couch, put on my suit and said, "I'm going home.
