My first summer break traveling outside of Minnesota was something I will never forget. My family and I decided to go to Canada at an unexpected time during the summer. My family and I were thinking about transportation, we all agreed on going by vehicle. That's when we decided to go there by car on a road trip. The reason we wanted to go on a trip was because on a plane all you do is sit in a chair for hours, it seemed too boring. Plus, sitting on a plane isn't fun or interactive. My family and I wanted to have a family road trip experience, traveling by car, and have that amazing time, one to remember for years to come. The next day, we packed our things for our trip, we set each bag for what we needed. When it was all over, I heard the car's engine start to sound like a plastic water bottle against a fan and it seemed like the car roared back to life. We stopped at our local vacation gas station. We were on the highway about to leave Minnesota, and we saw this giant lake, with a fascinating view. On the side of the road we saw freshly cut green grass, it had a couple different shades of green and an abundance of water that was breathtaking. We weren't able to stop to take a look, but as we passed, I stared at the view of the placid lake. I had never seen such a fascinating sight. I rolled down the window and let the cold, refreshing breeze hit my face as I listened to the wind sing across the clear blue sky. I could smell the fresh grass grown on a nearby farm. I wanted to stay in that moment for a little longer, because I didn't want to let go of that incredible feeling I was feeling. When we finally got to Canada, we stopped to get some foo......middle of paper...er, visiting the water park, we left Canada and were on our way home. Spending time with my family and relatives has brought out the best in me and influenced me in many different and surprising ways. It made me more cheerful about life and the people around me. Their bright smiles will always be etched in my memory. Going to Canada with my family was one of the best experiences of my life. As a first time traveller, it was the most delightful and enchanting experience I had ever had. It's so easy for me to recall these vivid memories of my experiences in Canada, because I had such an incredible time, even though I almost drowned. When my family and I finally got home, we all sat in the living room. The sound of heartwarming laughter from all family members rang in my ears. Thus ended my incredible journey.
