A Comparison of Vacations :: Compare Contrast Comparing

A Comparison of VacationsSummer and vacations are synonymous, especially with my family. Does Chevy Chase and summer vacation ring a bell? With a family of six, anything is possible. There are two types of excursions that we take every year. I refer to one as my family vacation and the other as my family slipperiness. My family vacation to the beach is an annual event, but my family trip destination is always different. This past summer my family and I went to Wyoming. Both experiences were the highlights of my summer but for very different reasons. We mother packing for our beach trip shortly after my grandmother arrives from North Carolina. My dads twenty-five-year-old surfboard is securely tied on top, and we are stuffed like sardines into the car with the weeks groceries jammed in every nook and cranny. My dad always insists that we take everything with us it would be a sin to spend good beach time at the grocery store. The trip down is uneventful, and we make our t raditional one and only stop at the Subway for lunch and gas. I was taught early on that in that location are limited drinks on travel day because bathroom breaks are unheard of. After an early start we arrive to find our three-bedroom, three-bath condo nevertheless as we remember it. We especially enjoy having a VCR in each bedroom, After unpacking the car, my family and I head for the beach. The familiar smell of the salty air, the heartbeat of the ocean waves, and the gentle breeze across my face are like long-lost friends. The beach routine begins. Just as we do on the day we communicate for the beach, my family and I wake up early to prepare to leave for Wyoming. My dad says that getting my family of six ready to go is like launching the space shuttle. For this trip, luggage is limited to what we can each carry. We all convince my dad that there will be grocery stores in Wyoming. After a quick trip to the airport, we board a jet to Atlanta and take a connecting flight to Denver. The highlight of our plane trip is the long-awaited lunch, which is a real disappointment. My mom and dad nap, darn my sisters and I watch a movie.
