My family doesn't really do much together, but the things that we do do together are very nice. We used to always go on vacation to Atlantic City, New Jersey every summer with my mom, dad, brother, uncle, aunt and cousin, however we don't go very often now. I remember going through the smoky casino to get to our room and playing hot lava on the beds and chairs with my cousin and brother. Now we don't do any of those things. I think the reason that we don't go to Atlantic City anymore is because all the kids are growing up the parents only go if all the kids want to go.=====

We always took a 4-hour drive down to Atlantic City, most of the time I was asleep, but sometimes I stayed awake to see the passing cars and trees pass by. The heat from the summer sun always bore down on us and the A/C was on full blast. I was always awake to find the large sign that marked the entrance of the city. The blue beach-like sign that said “Welcome to Atlantic City!” always marked the end of the trip and I couldn’t wait until we went to the beach. We always checked in first though and met our uncle and aunt and cousin when we checked in.=====

When we went to the beach we used to always played in the water and sand, but the last few times we had went we merely walked on the boardwalk. I always used to get a smoothie from a place called "Boardwalk Favorites." The fruits were fresh and you saw them get the fruit and blend the smoothie together. My favorite was Peachy Peach. The hotel was always the same, we always went to the Tropicana Hotel and almost always stayed in the same tower, meaning a redundant looking room. Everything we did was basically the same, so I suppose it could be considered a tradition. A tradition that died out eventually.=====
