Florida AHW

          A family tradition of ours is to go to Florida. My Dads family went when they were kids and the tradition has been passed down to us. We have been going to the same condo every year it is called the El Matador in Fort Walton Beach Florida. We go with our family along with family friends.

 The only bad thing about it is that since we've been going there for so long we know all the rules about it so whenever we do something bad there is no excuse when the parents ask you why you did it and what did you think we were doing, so I have unfortunately had a lot of punishments throughout the years I've been going there. 

There is an ice cream truck that goes around too. Last year we got the ice cream ladies phone number and called her when we wanted ice cream, and she came. The first time we called my friend Marina talked. We called in our other friends Maddie and Olivia’s condo so it would be quieter. As Marina was talking to the women on the phone Maddie and Olivia’s Dad came in and did not believe that we were actually talking to her until she came. You would not believe the look on his face when he saw her coming five minutes later.

There is a pool and a beach there too, they are also a lot of fun. We like jumping waves and going night swimming when no one is there.  The best part is that there we can go free and the parents stay at the beach while the kids run around wherever. The only rules are that we have to tell a parent where we are at all times and we have to have a parent at the beach or pool.  

Going to Florida is a great tradition of mine and I hope you consider going too!
