My favorite memory with my family was on a vacation trip to the Bahamas.  For a family vacation after my Bar Mitzvah, we went to an inland resort in Turks and Caicos called Beaches.  It was a perfect week of cultural activities white, soft sand battling against the light blue, translucent waves, and unique tropical climate with beautiful weather.  The location offered our family a multitude of activities such as snorkeling, swimming, concerts, and relaxing by luxurious pools or breathtaking waves.  In addition, the resort was littered with fabulous restaurants, stores, and rooms with gaming devices, partying tourists, or spas.  My family and I took advantage of all that we could, going parasailing, watching the waves, swimming the extensive pools, enjoying pleasuring drinks, and rounds of lawn chess.  Moreover, we were provided with wonderful, top quality rooms.  Our two queen bed suite took pride in having a spectacular view of the rolling gray clouds blocking the baby blue sky and the radiant yellow shine of the sun over the horizon while the Caribbean Sea mimicked the sky in color but revealed its hidden coral reefs and assortment of colorful and crowded fish as its waves washed over the speckled white sand topped with tall, bright green palm trees swaying in the wind.  The room was also decorated with interesting cultural decor of seashells and French design, the main focus of the hotel division we were located in.  Other hotel buildings were Italian, Caribbean, or modern, our’s was French ordinate.  What really made this trip special, compared to all of the benefits supplied to us on the trip, was enjoying quality moments with my family that was n’t interrupted by work or quagmires.  We all got participate in our desired activities, eat at our wished restaurants, and did so as one loving and pleasant family.    This week in wonderful Turks and Caicos is a priceless memory of my favorite time with my family.
