My most memorable trip is when I went to Florida during the summer of 2004. The trip consisted of my mom, my stepdad, my two sisters, and me. We woke up at five o’clock in the morning to hit the road so we could beat the traffic. The ride was very long and boring but it was all worth it when I set my eyes on the ocean. At that moment, I was filled with joy and happiness and I could not wait for the fun to begin. As soon as I stepped out of the car, I knew this vacation would be one to remember. The first reason why this is my most memorable trip is because of the beach itself. It was so peaceful and the ocean was so blue and beautiful. I found a lot of seashells in different shapes and sizes. I also saw some jellyfish and crabs. I stayed on the beach the whole day and watched the sun set. By the time night had fallen, people started to fish near the shore line. I stood back watching, curious of the types of fish they would catch from the ocean. After watching for about an hour, I witnessed the people catch a baby shark. I thought it was crazy that a shark was so close to shore and I was so surprised because I had never seen anything like that. The second reason I will never forget this trip to Florida is because of the activities. There were so many things to do in Florida. I did a lot of swimming and rode on some very fast go-karts. The slingshot ride was scary but fun. When I was done enjoying all of the outside activities, I went inside to do some shopping. I bought some cool souvenirs, and I got my grandparents a gift to bring back to them in Georgia. While shopping, I went into a store that had real, live bears and baby alligators. I got to feed the bears apples and I also got to hold one of the gators and have my picture taken. The third and final reason I think this trip is my most memorable is because of the
