Journal #4

In my family, we travel a lot. We go on vacations to visit family, see sights, and experience new things. My first plane ride was when I was three or four years old, going to Arizona to visit my grandparents. One of my favorite vacations that I went on was Christmas break of my freshman year. Almost my whole entire extended family traveled to Las Vegas for the week. My family, and my grandpa flew form Springfield, my uncle and aunt flew from Washington D.C., and my other aunt and uncle and his son and their new one month old baby drove over from California. This experience was so great because I was able to see all my family from different parts of the country together in one place. It was better to travel somewhere else to meet, instead of at someone's home because it is way more stress free. There is not any thing to get ready for the visit, only time to spend with your family. I have been to many states, some multiple times, and I think I has made me a better person. Traveling to many different places like Las Vegas, Washington D.C., Disney World, and Texas, shows how other parts of the country work. When my family goes on trips we try and go somewhere where we have never been or want to learn more about. I have been to both Space Centers, all the sights at Washington D.C., the Mall of America, and The Green Bay Packer Stadium, Lambeau Field.

Some people just go on trips to the beach to relax, but I like the fact that we are able to learn new things on our family vacations. It's a nice change to go somewhere else and immerse yourself in the differences of that area. Traveling to Baton Rouge, Louisiana for example is very different then traveling to maybe Syracuse, New York. When I get older and can travel for myself I plan on going to Europe and Asia and seeing all of the wonder sights that are to be seen there. The pyramids, the Eiffel Tower, and the Coliseum are some sights that I would hopefully visit sometime in my life.
