Essay: "Favorite Trip"by Michael Jerome McKinney
And being that favorite trip is the topic to write about for the month of February, the first thing that came to mind was the trips every Christmas time me and my family use to take to Attalla, Alabama to spend with my grandmother Inez McKinney, and the rest of the McKinney family who stayed in Alabama. And this trip was a very special trip to me and my family because we all looked forward to taking this trip to Alabama at Christmas time and each year this trip brought so much fun into my life, cause I had the chance to spend time with my father's side of the family who showed me so much love every time I was around them for Christmas and any other time. But just being able to take this trip to Alabama brought so much life to me because this is one trip I lived for. I use to dream about taking this trip to Alabama at Christmas time. Cause this was a moment in my life where I felt so much love in so many ways. This trip used to bring tears to my eyes. When we loaded up the trunk of my mothers or my aunt Doris's car in Tampa to get on the highway, my heart would always start beating fast cause I know this was my favorite trip, cause so many feelings came along with this trip to Attalla, Alabama. So much sight seeing came along with this favorite trip, the long ride on the high way watching eighteen wheelers pass by. Some of them would be fixed up prettier than the other trucks. This was the chance me and my baby brother Sedrick, would stay up all night in the back seat of the car waiting on the big pretty looking eighteen wheelers to pass by us so we could try to beat each other saying that's my truck while everyone else in the car was asleep other than the driver. And this was not just my favorite trip, but my lil brother and everyone else who was with us looked forward to this trip to Alabama for the end of the year holidays, cause this favorite trip was worth all the long hours of riding because I had the chance to share the Christmas spirit with my grandmother. |
