My Favorite Vacation
My favorite vacation was when my family went to Salinas because it was relaxing.

My favorite vacation was the trip I took to Salinas with my family. As I sat on the beach, I felt the gentle breeze coming from the ocean. The warm sun was shining on the water making it sparkle. It was so peaceful. The waves crashing against the shore were soothing. It truly was an unforgettable vacation.
