Have you ever been to the ocean? Last Spring Break, my family visited Hawaii and spent a lot of time on the beach and at the ocean. One day I had a lot of fun and was able to learn how to surf. When I was finished with my lesson, I said to my mom, “When do I get to do that again?” That was one of the most awesome things I have ever done. One night, I put on a pretty dress and we went to a luau. We had some good food and watched some neat dancing. My trip to Hawaii was too short and I was sad to leave the island. I am counting down the days until I can visit the Aloha State again.
