San Diego

My first trip was to San Diego, California the summer after my freshman year. I had gone on road trips to Colorado, Indiana, and Canada before this trip, but I had never flown on an airplane. I went on this trip with about 15 other students in high school and our chaperones. It was super a super fun trip and a great group of people to go with. We did many different things on this trip including going to the beach, walking down the boardwalk, going to many different restaurants, and competing in our FCCLA competition.

Having never flown anywhere, I did not know how I would like flying. Turns out, I am terrible at flying. I am not really afraid of it, but my stomach and head really just can’t handle it. I am also not really able to fall asleep on airplanes, so I don’t really enjoy it at all.

My favorite part of going to San Diego was definitely going to the beach. The part that wasn’t so great was walking so far to get there. We took a boat over to Coronado Island, and did not realize how far across the island we had to walk to get to the beach. I don’t know exactly how long of a walk it was, I just know it took forever to get there and back.

We were there over the Fourth of July, so we got to watch fireworks by the ocean, which made it 10 times better! We also made lots of new friends from different states and had a great overall experience.
