My Summer Vacation – Essay
This summer vacation is one of the best I’ve ever had! As soon as school ended I felt so happy and free. No more early mornings, no more homework and lots of time to do the things I love. What made this summer extra special was the trip we took as a family and the fun I had at home too.
In the first week of the vacation my parents surprised me and my little sister with a trip to Manali. I had always seen pictures of snow capped mountains in books and on TV but seeing them with my own eyes was amazing. We travelled by train and then took a long car ride up the mountains. The roads were twisty and sometimes scary but the view was beautiful. There were green trees everywhere and the air felt fresh and cool.
In Manali we did many fun things. We visited Solang Valley where I got to ride a horse and try zipline. It was my first time and I was a little nervous at first but once I did it I wanted to go again and again! We also saw snow and had a snowball fight. I even tried to build a snowman but it didn’t look as perfect as in the movies. Still it was super fun to do.
We stayed in a cozy hotel with a balcony that had a mountain view. Every morning we would sit there with a cup of hot tea with biscuits and just stare at the clouds moving through the peaks. At night the entire family played board games and I came first Ludo multiple times! The best part was spending time with my family without anyone being busy or checking their phones all the time.
After we returned from Manali I spent the rest of my vacation doing other things I enjoy. I joined a swimming class near our house and learned how to float and do freestyle. At first I was scared of the deep end, but my coach helped me a lot. Now I feel confident in the water.
I also read some interesting books. I just finished the entire “Harry Potter” series, my friend Atul has recommended Percy Jackson series, so it is going to be the next in my list.
Sometimes I helped Mom in the kitchen or water the plants on our balcony. One of the best part of the vacation is the different type of food that we eat, my Mom makes all our favourite dishes. Overall this summer vacation is a perfect mix of travel, learning, relaxing and fun. I already feel refreshed and happy and I’ll always remember the memories we made.
Still two weeks to go for school and many more adventures to come!
