Author's Note: This is a creative piece about a family going on a vacation, but is late to get to the airport and barley makes the plane. This piece can relate to many family that are bad at staying in time.
Finally, the sun was peeking from the clouds and the the weather was finally feeling like spring. After spending for what felt like an eternity in the winter, spring was on its way and by the looks of it, it was coming fast. Tomorrow was spring break and my family and I were as eager as a kid on Christmas. Florida was our destination and so far everything was going smoothly. I attempted to get to bed early, but excitement got the best of me and I ended up staying up way late.
In the morning, I woke up as drowsy as a sloth and it looked like my whole family was the same way. I got up, packed a little, looked at the clock, packed a little more, looked back up at the clock, and screamed. We were supposed to leave twenty minutes ago. I ran around arousing the whole house until everybody was up and packing. After a few minutes, we were out the door and on our way to the airport, hoping that our flight would be delayed.
We arrived at the airport around a hour late because of the raging traffic. Everybody in my family was sprinting down to get to security and make our flight. At the security gate our day didn’t get any better. My dad go pulled for a random security test and that took a good chunk of our precious time. After we finally got past security, we gazed up at the departure times and our flight was delayed. We made it on the plane and the rest of the vacation was smooth sailing.
