Family Matters

My favorite vacation was two summers back secure before I entered high school. My family and I traveled to South padre Island, Texas located in the disjunction of Mexico connected to Texas by only a long narrow bridge. I had high hopes for the vacation, but they took a plummet during the course of my vacation. Although much of my vacation was an utter disaster, I learned that with family you apprize make the best out of anything.My trip started out alright degenerate into the lush tropical island, seeing the shimmering waves winking at me during the airplanes descent. When we exited the airport my flake was greeted with a warm tropical breeze upon stepping outside. We whence took a cabriolet to our lavish hotel, The Magnolia. Upon entering the hotel lobby, I was greeted to the tantalizing smell of freshly caught Gulf shrimp, which got my stomach growling.It seemed that after such an amazing twenty-four hour period as this star that this vacation could only get better, but a las that was not in natures plans. The next morning, dark clouds loomed in the horizon, signaling a storm little did I know that it would turn out to be the m early(a) of all tropical storms a hurricane Most occupants of the island were in a hurry to leave, but the bridge was the only way out of the island, other than the airport which was closed in this emergency.While ost of the citys barter was jammed trying to get onto the bridge, my family and I went to the penthouse of the hotel and locked ourselves in. To ease the tension, we played plank games and told stories while the hurricane passed by and two days later the storm had eventually gone by and the flooding had subsided so it was safe to go out. We then made good use of the near-empty beaches and enjoyed surfing and boogey-boarding on the gigantic waves enjoying our period together as a family.After a fun day on the beach, we were slightly disappointed to be informed by the hotel film director that we could no longer st ay in the penthouse so we had to return to our schoolmaster room. The next day I was saddened that our trip had come to an end as I slowly packed my belongings. On the way to the airport I was deep in thought, I realized that for all the misfortunes that plagued us on our trip, it actually turned out to be a very enjoyable vacation and countless summers after it is still my favorite vacation to date.
