Destin, Florida is where my family and I take our family vacation every year. I have gone once a year and sometimes twice a year since I was five years old. My grandpa lives down there as well. The beach is very calming and I love the atmosphere. There is just something about the sand and salt water that I love.

Lake Murray is in Ardmore, Oklahoma. I have been going to this lake since I was six weeks old. My family is really into the whole boat and lake scene. We have had a ski boat my entire life and we also had a house boat for 6 years. My mom and I would go to the lake every weekend in the summer and even sometimes in the winter to hang out with friends. My cell phone did not work very well at the lake so it was a nice getaway from reality. I also met some of my very best friends at the lake.

Oh, what great pictures, Mary! I am a water person too. I don't like to swim (I'm INCREDIBLY near-sighted, so taking off my glasses makes me feel all weird)... but I love the feel, sound, smell of the water, the sand, everything. Maybe you could do a Storybook project for this class about lakes! You might like this really cool thing: Lake Monster of America - Lake Thunderbird in Oklahoma made the list!!!
