"My Summer"

This summer was rather uneventful for myself, nothing exciting really happened for me. My summer was kicked off by a camping trip with some friends up Chute Lake past Naramata. The trip was a great way to start the summer and finish grade eleven .Most of my summer break was comprised of working, sleeping and a little more working. I though it was sort of boring, but it proved to be good work experience. My line of work for the summer was managing vineyards. I liked working outside and was able to work in different places which was a nice change.
The most enjoyable part of my summer was the road trip me and my girlfriend took to Calgary. We were both able to take a week off of work and we were happy to be able to leave for a while. The road trip itself was great, and we both had lots of fun just driving there on our own. Being out there together was a great experience to. I have spent lots of time out there with my family but have never brought anyone. We have also been planning to move out there so it was a great experience to see what it was like. I was also very happy to show her my family and vice versa. While being out there I got to meet her brother as well which was very nice. This summer showed me a sense of responsibility, and what it will be like to be on my own. I felt a great deal of fulfillment in working hard and doing things on my own, yet still having an enjoyable summer.
