Vacations With Families Are Always Much Needed

It is always great to take time for yourself and get away. It is even better when you get to get away with family.

Family vacations are so much fun. They are even better when you do not get to see your family as much as usual. While being at college and working, it really does take away from family time. Also, with COVID19 going around has took family time away too. It is always important to catch up and have time together. There is nothing better than being together, telling stories, and reminiscing on old memories. Huge family vacations are hard to come by and do not get to happen very often. With everything going on, my family still pushed and made a huge fantastic vacation happen.

My family rented a house in St Augustine. I have never been there before. It was so exciting to go something new with all your family. All the grandchildren and my grandparents got to come. We stayed up late nights but still got up early. We made every single moment together count. As most of us are getting older trips like these are hard to come by. It’s hard getting everyone off work at the same time. It was even harder planning a vacation with all the sickness going on in the world also.

We got a house on the beach, but in a very private spot. We had our own boardwalk to the beach. The ocean there is so beautiful. I had never seen the Atlantic before in person. We also got to travel through different cities on the way there so seeing those were also cool. St Augustine has a nice beach, but also a nice town. It was a very historic city. It had forts you could tour. It had an ally downtown were you could walk around all the shops. It was a perfect spot for our family vacation.

We had the best vacation and unforgettable memories we will never forget. We had the best family dinners with the best home cooked meals. My parents, my grandparents, my siblings, my lover, and my nephew were all there to experience this beautiful destination with me. I will forever remember this vacation as one of the best ones. I’m forever thankful for family and this experience.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
