we did some stops to get some fresh air
‘cause I’m a person who can’t spend a lot
of time in an enclosed space, we arrived
there at almost 12 p.m. and immediately
went to sleep, next day we went to go
swimming at the local pool, it was a blast,
we stayed the entire day there and then
went back to the house and fell asleep.
On Saturday we decided to go to a near
river to swim for the day, it was absolutely
amazing, the sights were beautiful, the
water was fresh, the weather was
amazing and I almost lost my crocs on
the river twice, my uncle had to go save
them before they got lost, all in all I’d say
it was a really nice vacation, especially
because I was really stressed about all
the school projects that were coming, it
was a really nice change of pace and I’m
down to do it again sometime.
