How My Summer Went Down

Every summer my family goes on a big trip and we usually try to get as many family members to go as possible. But this summer we had no clue where or what we wanted to do or go. So for weeks my mom searched and searched for something or somewhere we haven't done or gone before. We finally came up with ideas that ranged from going to cancun for a week to flying to California for a week in a half to going on a seven day cruise. But all sounded so fun and every family member wanted to do something different. So weeks had gone by and I hadn't heard much talk about our summer trip as I had as in weeks before.

One night after I had gotten home from work I had asked my mom if she had figured out where we were gonna go this summer. She replied back saying she had no clue yet. A month or so had gone by and I was at a baseball playoff game when I got a group message from both my mom and sister. It said " We know where we are going". I replied "Where?". They replied " Gulf Shores, Alabama". Standing in the middle of the duggout I remember saying "ARE YOU SERIOUS!" I immediately texted them back telling them I didn't want to go. You all are probably think what the heck why not? But because first we had already been to Gulf Shores before and I wanted to go somewhere different because this was somewhat a trip for me for graduation. So I thought I would have had a say so in it. Second the last time we went we stayed at there National Park and camped out in a RV. While staying there there was a huge forest fire not even two miles from us and we lost pretty much everything we brought because we were evacuated and couldn't really take much.

So for weeks I continued to tell them no and I would just go stay with my dad for the ten days they would be gone. And they just kept telling me that this trip would be different from the last and that I just needed to go and that I should be grateful that we are able to go on vacation. It took me up until the second day before they left to change my mind and go. So I ended up going and overall it was an eventful and memorable trip. I definitely would have regreted not going especially with everything that we got to do. I just thought it was going to be boring because we had been there done that sorta thing. But there was so much more stuff that we go to do this time that we didn't do last time. So after ten days of vacation I finally had to adult for the first time and worked the rest of my summer.
