Vacations

As a person who loves to travel, 2016 has been quite eventful. In January I began planning my trips for the year. These trips took place in Florida, Canada, Alaska, and Bermuda.  First, my cousins and I celebrated my cousins bachelorette party in Florida.  Here we spent time hanging out by the beach, pool and delicious restaurants.  In July, my friends and I journeyed to Canada by car.  This was my first road trip.  We went from Niagara Falls to Toronto and made a last stop in Montreal before coming back.  The people in Toronto showed us around and took us to the CN Tower where we viewed the whole city while eating lunch as the restaurant rotated in a circle around the tower. That was a memorable experience.  Shortly after, my family took a cruise around Alaska.  I learned a lot about the other side of the country and saw beautiful places.  The best part of the vacation was flying in a helicopter and landing on an iceberg where we then went dog sledding. What an unbelievable experience. Last but not least was my trip to the most breathtaking island of Bermuda. A friend accompanied me on this trip and together we explored the most beautiful beaches.  We also decided to go jet skiing to the Bermuda Triangle for a fun adventure.  My life is exciting because of the places I visit and memories I make on my excursions around the world.  I will continue to travel to new places in 2017.

Verbs:

A Verb can be any member of a class of words that function as the main elements of predicates, that typically express action, state, or a relation between two things, and that may be inflected for tense, aspect, voice, mood, and to show agreement with their subject or object.

Grammer Point:

The key word in most sentences, the word that reveals what is happening, is the verb. It can declare something (You ran), ask a question (Did you run?), convey a command (Run faster!), or express a wish (May this good weather last!) or a possibility (If you had run well, you might have won; if you run better tomorrow, you may win). You cannot have a complete English sentence without at least one verb.
