My favourite vacation

There is one magical place where my family vacations to most

summers. It is quiet, relaxing, beautiful, magnificent and inspiring. Located
in Saranac Lake, in rural New York, this is where my family has some of the
best times. We stay in a calm and serene cabin where my aunt and uncle
live. But Im getting ahead of myself. Before I can explain what I do during
this vacation, I must explain the background and history of this special
family gathering.
My family is not the type the goes on expensive or classy vacations to
the Caribbean. We prefer memorable vacations, whether it is in Florida,
Colorado, Cape Cod, or Saranac Lake. The places we go do not matter, but
more the events that take place during them. Once my moms side of the
family had grown and all my grandparents, aunts and uncles, had their
children, everyone decided it would be fun to have a family reunion of some
sort. My Aunts cabin sounded like a fun place to meet every summer- and
thats where we have met ever since.
Now lots of the kids have grown up and even though they are older
they still enjoy some of the things we did when we first came. Some
activities include hiking, swimming, fishing, canoeing and boating on the
lake. Also, playing board games and watching movies when its rainy, having
cookies down on the dock, or playing a good game of hide and seek in the
woods. Vacations to the lake are like an escape from the outside world and a
chance to see nature and still have fun. Every summer is guaranteed to be a
blast, in rain or shine.
To conclude, my vacations to the lake will always remain memorable
and special. I hope that one day I will be able to continue the tradition for
my family. Through the years, I have always been sort of jealous of my
friends who told about their extravagant vacations to paradise, but I have
soon realized that I would never trade my experiences for any of theirs.
Why? Because I have something that they will never have. I have a family
that loves and cares for each other and would do anything to make everyone
happy. I have a lifetimes worth of memories from only a few days. Finally, I
have joy.
