My Vacation with my beloved person

One day,my sister named putrid said to me that she really wanted to go
to the beach.So I promised her that next week we would go to Mutun beach
in Lampung.

The next week,we prepared everything needed in the morning.We

brought some foods,and beverages,such as chocolate wafers,potato
chips,water and orange juice.Before going to the beach, I asked our
brother,Bayu,to join us.He ageed and we went there by car.It took three
hours,then we bought tickets in enterance gate.Before swimming,we
changed our clothes first.We swam there more than an hour.We felt so
tired that we decided to eat the foods that we had brought.Next,the three of
u created a very big castle,while my parent were enjoying the beautiful
scene there.After that,we decided to go home because it was getting dark.

On the way home,we still felt hungry.So we stopped at a restaurant to

have dinner.I ordered sruit,lampungnese traditional food.After that,we paid
our bills,then we went home and arrived at 9 in the evening.We were tired
but we were absolutely happy.
