Family Vacation

Once upon a happening there was a family of four all had different ideas on spending vacation and more. Dad thought it best if they camped in the woods to go hiking in the mountains on a trail where they could. Mom wanted relaxation and to stay at a resort go golfing on the green and play tennis on the courts. Big brother didn't agree and wanted fast fun the amusement park was his thing where the roller coasters run. Sister's nose turned up at all of their wants back to the beach and ocean were her playful haunts. Dad pulled the paper straight out of the hat to the beach they were to go so they hurried and packed. With the car all loaded they were ready to go so off they all went with swim tubes in tow. A few hours later the car started in it clunked and clunked and lurched and spinned. Dad checked under the hood then put the hood down called the tow truck to bring it into town. The cabin near the woods was were they had to stay so they all took a hike down the trail that day. The very next morning they were on their way heading to the beach on a nice sunny day. Three hours driving and the car started to churn and do some loud jerking as Dad soon would learn. Dad checked under the hood then put the hood down called the tow truck to bring it into town. The hotel room near the courts was were they had to stay so they all played some tennis at the resort that day. The very next morning they were on their way heading to the beach on a nice sunny day. Five hours driving and the car started again the banging and clanging was doing Dad in. Dad checked under the hood then put the hood down called the tow truck to bring it into town. The lodge by the rides was were they had to stay so they all had some fun at the amusement park that day. The very next morning they were on their way heading to the beach on a nice sunny day. After all their trouble they finaaly arrived at Sis' favorite spot bungalow number 5. The crystal beige sand lead straight to their door the water beyond that made you want more. Things may not have gone as they would have liked but this family of four still had fun in spite.
