My Summer


This summer, most of my time was either spent here in Portland, or at the Oregon Coast. I visited several different beaches including Gearhart, Manzanita, and Neskowin. After going to the beach so much this summer, my appreciation for the calmness of the Oregon Coast has grown. At the beach, I was able to escape my responsibilities and enjoy my summer with my friends. In addition to staying in Oregon, I traveled to Texas to visit my extended family that lives there. My dad, my brother, and I go every year for about two weeks in July. This trip is always one of my favorite parts of summer vacation because it is usually the only time during the year that I get to see my dad's side of the family. My favorite thing to do while in Texas is go to the lake, and experience new things with my family. This summer, I only had the chance to go to the lake once, but I got the chance to go on a Segway tour through downtown Austin with my family. Though my summer wasn't as exciting as I would've hoped, I'm still a saddened to see the season come to an end.
