Vacation. It's such a lovely word. Vacation is a synonym for relaxing, fun, adventure, relief, and enjoyment. Fortunately for all students living in Park City, the time has come. Vacation is upon us. February break starts this Friday as soon as school ends.
On most school vacations, my family would all do something together, whether it be a road trip or skiing. This vacation happens to be different. Next week, my grandparents are taking my older sister and myself back home. Home for us is California. The drive will be very relaxing. Usually I sit in between my two little sisters to help them stay entertained. This time, I actually will get to sit with a whole seat separating me from the next person. This time, the drive will be quiet. Usually, the drive consists of my little sisters asking repeatedly, "Are we there yet?"
I'm so excited for the moment that we will be arriving at. Friday night will be our estimated time of arrival. As soon as we get there, Katie and I have planned to eat dinner at one of our favorite spots, and then settle in for a nice night's sleep because the rest of the week won't include that. Here's a rough outline of how the week is going to go.
Friday: Arrive, eat dinner, sleep
Saturday: Eat lunch with very much missed friends, go to our old choir's show
Sunday: Go to church and see our church friends, have Sunday dinner with all of our family
Monday: Swim in my grandparents' pool, visit my mom's side of the family in Huntington Beach
Tuesday: Youth Activity with our church friends, eat dinner with old friends
Wednesday: Go to Seminary (a church class) at 5 am in the morning, go to school and shadow some of
our friends, go to the beach
Thursday: Hang out with friends, go to Disneyland with friends
Friday: movie night with friends and family
Saturday: Get on a plane and head back to Utah
Seeing my friends is going to be so fun. Since I lived in California in the same house for my entire life, I have a lot of friends that I am dying to see. As noted in my schedule for the week, most of my time will be spent hanging out with friends from church and school. I also am getting to see my old choir perform which will be so fun because I get to see how much everyone's improved since we have been gone.
I'm so glad that Katie and I are heading home, but there is a downside. My grandparents live on the same street that we lived on before we moved. That means that we have to see our old house. It will be so weird to see my house with other people living in it.
This vacation might be the best one yet. I'll be able to see my friends and my family that I left behind. It will be so fun to hang out with everyone and catch up on the things that I've missed out on. California's in for a treat because here I come!
