A Special Place

In Florida you can do almost anything you want to. Have you ever wanted the best vacation? There are pools, beaches, nice restaurants, great stores, and Florida to me is just like the best vacation. Florida is really important to my family.

Florida is really important to my family because it is so relaxing to me and my sister.  It feels like whenever we step outside we feel free, and can roam around in the fresh grass, play in the pool, or with the dog. We pretty much can go wherever we want. It is so safe there in Orlando, Florida, me and my sister can walk a whole block without our parents even. And safety becomes a big deal with my parents, (they don’t make a very good match). We can go to the public pool whenever we want because when we were there so many others were at school and grownups were at work. It really worked out for my family. Mostly, I like to just grab a beach or a pool chair, and then put it out in front of the house and let the sun laser me. What I also like is when the sun comes down and it’s a sunset. I like the sunset because it is so beautiful and there are barely any trees in Orlando, so basically you can see it wherever you are, whether you're in Tampa, Key West, or even in Miami. You will always see the sunset unless you're not outside or not paying attention to it. Almost all the houses in the neighborhood have a wall made out of glass so it is a big window. So you won’t even need sunscreen because I hate that stuff, so you could let the sun hit you right through the glass.

Florida is really important to my family because our relatives are there.  My uncle just moved in with my grandparents so it is even more fun. My grandparents have been there for awhile so they know where all the fun places are, which is a bonus because now my mom doesn't have to go searching until night to find a fun place or amusement park. My uncle also helps us find the wild parks or interesting museums, like the environmental science center that we went to. It was a real hit, it was crowded with people just like all the other crazy places we went too. If we come home and there is nothing to do we always have our uncle to play with or talk too. If he is busy we just get the dog and walk it or start playing with her. We got the best dog to play with. In Florida there is always something to do with or without are family, including grandparents and uncle. Once me and my dad had the whole pool to ourselves! We played on the water slide and did cannonballs. That was probably the most fun out of all the days in Florida.We are so lucky to have our grandparents live in Florida, our best vacation spot and best weather spot.

Florida is really important to my family because there are great stores for my family and the best food there. Our house (Grandparents’ house in Florida) is so close to the stores we can just walk a block and find Subway, a grocery store, mall, spa, and restaurants galore! We went to the store every day, they had the best chicken, and snacks for my family. It looks beautiful all lit up with all the lights shining at the neighborhood and stores. We go there for hours, and I mean hours shopping and buying. To me and maybe my family there is literally everything in there. Just like nerf guns, board games (every single one),video games, anything you think of.

To my family, Florida is a great vacation place, just like paradise. There are all different kinds of things in Florida that we just love. Florida is really important to my family.
