Taking a Beach Trip With My Grandparents
At a time when vacations seem to be scarcer than usual, I jumped at the chance to take a trip to the beach with my grandparents! I wasn't sure about it at first, but looked at it as an inexpensive getaway with people I know and love. This gave me a chance to dig out all my old beach dresses and swimsuit cover-ups I had packed away. It seems like forever since I took a vacation that I can just relax, and not have my schedule planned out with activities and places to see. It will be nice to just sit on the beach. Plus, I will get to spend some time with my grandparents again, like I did when I was little. Give me a chance to learn more about them, now that I am older. Like, I never knew my grandfather had hair replacement! He has always had a full head of hair, I just never realized it was because of that. It looks good, natural looking, even on an older man. Even if it is grey. My grandmother is lucky, she still has youthful looking hair.
I was imagining staying at a little motel- like efficiency, so you can imagine my delight when we pulled up to a resort style hotel! We had room service and turn down service, and let me tell you what a difference having silk down comforters makes! They are so luxurious and indulgent! I am definitely going to consider investing in one for my own bed when I go home. I have to admit, my grandparents know how to have a good time. This trip made me see them as people, not just grandparents. Did you know older people actually have sense of humor? They are really fun to be around! I am really glad that they asked me along, and that I got the chance to spend time with them. The memories I had of them are enhanced even more, by spending time with them as an adult and seeing how special they are as people, too, not just my Grandma and Grandpa.
