I’m gonna share with you a special car trip that still remains vivid in my memory up to now. It took place when I was about 10 years old, and my family was heading to the beach for a short summer vacation.


So, the day of our journey began bright and early , and we set off before the sun had even risen. The drive was estimated to take 8 hours, so my sister and I decided to play some games and listen to music along the way just to pass the time .


As the sun gradually rose later, we started to see the countryside passing by. The sky was a beautiful shade of blue, and the air was filled with the scent of fresh-cut grass. After a few hours of admiring the stunning views , we took a break at a roadside eatery for lunch before carrying on with our journey. We ordered burgers and fries, and we also had some ice cream for dessert to cool off on a hot summer day.


Not long after the lunch break, we finally reached the destination with sheer excitement and enthusiasm . Then, without the slightest hesitation , we jumped out of the car and ran down to the beach. The sand was soft and warm beneath our feet, and the waves crashed gently against the shore. We spent the rest of the day swimming, sunbathing , and building sandcastles together. You know, it was truly a perfect way to end a long car journey.


Looking back, I'm so grateful for that car journey because it was a time when my family was all together and we were able to create some lasting memories. Needless to say, I’ll always recall that trip with fondness and cherish its memorable moments .
