On my last vacation, my brother and I went to Pantai Panjang. It was really fun and we really had a good time. On Saturday, we first prepared everything we needed , such as clothes, snacks, drinks, etc . We also invited our cousins to join us. They were very excited and agreed to come with us. We departed from our house at 7 a.m. by car. The journey took about two hours. Along the way, we enjoyed the scenery and sang some songs together. It was a fun trip. Then, we arrived at the beach around 9 a.m. The beach was very beautiful and clean. The sand was white and soft. The water was clear and blue. The sky was bright and sunny. We felt so happy and relaxed. For Example : My Vacation with My Beloved People
We did many activities at the beach. We swam, played with the sand, took some pictures, and ate some seafood. We also rented a banana boat and rode it together. It was very thrilling and fun. We spent about four hours at the beach. Then we decided to go back home. We were tired but satisfied. We thanked our cousins for accompanying us and said goodbye to them. We drove back to our house and arrived there at 4 p.m. It was a wonderful vacation. I was glad that I could make my brother happy and spend some quality time with my beloved people. I hope we can go to the beach again someday.
