our family vacation
I was half living on my family rooms couch with my feet hanging up on the backrest, my mum and sister were sitting arround as well watching tv and just chatting.
I just felt so bored out of my mind and kept scoffing and finally half crying to my mum about how bored I was, being the the last daughter of two, I was the baby of the house and got all my whims cattered to. so my mum sits up and says I'm write she is bored as well and needs a change of scenery after all she enjoys travelling alot so hey...why not right?! after all it happens to be the year I graduate high school so it's a good opportunity to celebrate as well.
meanwhile my sister also liking the idea decides to call her husband and let him know of the development, saying that she is sure he would jump on the opportunity as well , so she needs to let him know so that he could get his leave and we could all go and have some fun.
After I realized our trip is becoming a reality I got excited and my mood suddenly picked up, I immigrately jump off the couch to start packing in advance as per my habit as usual from past trips...yeah I'm that type. that's when I realized we didn't decide where to go , so I decide for the family, I chose a place with a beach and a forest side by side, searching the net , I found a beautiful villa to rent that happens to have both of what I want with a fair price and then run off excitedly to show my mum what I found, knowing she would be equally excited.
using the excuse that my eighteenth birthday is next week I manage to seal the vacation making it a garantee.
it's been a week since our vacation plans been put in place and it was now time for us to go to the airport, my sister and her husband were already in the car waiting for me and my mum,my brother in law will be driving us, I by the was was standing by the door waiting for my mum who loves to over makeup, she's in she early fifties and says a woman should always look her best even if she's just going out to trow the trash, she lives by her rule by the way...no joke making me scream up the stairs mama hurry up, enough with the makeup, no ones going to notice...she creams back I'm coming and people do notice! yeah-right??well I mentione we are complete opposites with my mum?! yeah we kind of disagree on everything, what she likes I hate like makeup for example...I makeup only when extremely pressured and never reapply! finally my mum comes down the stairs in her heels looking like someone who is going to the theater n not to some shak by the beach close to a forest , I roll my eyes looking at her and say you know where we are going right? she smiles and walks past me heading to the car, while I try to lock up, I hear my sister laugh and say to my mum exactly what I just said and my mum says something about she wonders who raised us being to rass, I just chuckle removing the key and running to the car screaming finally let's go go go before something else happens to delay us and every one in the car just laughs .
So we began our seven hour Journey with high spirits, after driving for about four hours we decide to stop over for a break at a dinner in the middle of nowhere, I voice my concern about how creepy it is and it reminds me of how most horror movies happen, my brother inlaw laughs agreeing with me on that, did I mention how my brother inlaw and I shear everything in common, taste , style and everything inbetweene with me,if I like it, he likes it. I love him more than my sister and knows he loves me equally as well, being the only child to his parents and knowing me since I was a kid of about five, he has always been the big brother I never had. so his opinions mean alot to me and when he agreed with whatever I was saying it gave me inner joy! my sister who is almost fifteen years older than me has always been more of a mother figure and always babyied me, what can I say...I'm spoilt rotten and one of the luckiest people I know if I do say so myself.
after our quick meal at the dinner, we didn't want to waist alot of time there after all we were only half way to our destination and wanted to get there on time before it gets dark so we can settle ourselves inn! we jumped into the car and continued on our journey, an hour into our drive the road noticeably changed into a lush green forest on both sides , the chat in the car changing to how I'v managed to get the most secluded places there is and all of my family ganging up agaist me saying iv managed to lead them into some m******e but then ofcourse my brother inlaw switched sides last minute sideing with me to say this is going to be the most relaxing trip ever and how he is going to go fishing and hunting the my sister laughs and says he is just saying that to protect me, but hey...I love the forest and the tranquility it brings with it, how green it looks, how fresh it smells ,the abundance of fresh air...isnt that the whole point of a vacation?!
