Going abroad for the first time

Posted on September 5, 2013 By Editor Junior Residents

Over the summer, my mom’s side of the family took a family vacation. In the past, we have gone to places around the U.S. like the Rocky Mountains, Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire, and hiking trips in Virginia. However, this year, we went to London and Brimpton in England. I loved all the other trips too, but this one felt special to me because it was the year I graduated from my elementary school and home away from home, San Jose Episcopal Day School. My grandparents took me over there before everyone else and we went to Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, The Tower of London, et cetera. Then all the other family arrived and everything became a little bit hectic, as is normal with Parks family vacations. We all had an amazing time, even my little one and a half year old cousin, even if he was just running around yelling about ice cream and big rocks.
