The Invention to Relive a Memory

If there was an invention that could bottle up a memory, I would choose the memory of my family vacation to Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. It was about a twelve hour drive in a cramped van with every seat filled. Luckily we left the house at night so everyone(but the driver of course) was able to sleep off most of the hours. By time every one woke up we were already in West Virginia. The scenery in West Virginia was amazing. Every were you looked there were mountains with trees all over them, clear blue sky’s, and nice fresh air. This kind of scenery lasted all the way to North Carolina. So I was pretty happy that I was able to wake up in that state. After a few more hours of driving and a pit stop or two we finally made it to are hotel. We had a beautiful hotel room that had a full kitchen, washing and drying machine, two bathrooms with showers in them, several beds, and my favorite part about the room was we had a balcony. It was great to go out there in the morning and just listen to the waves and admire the calmness of the ocean. After we spent some time unpacking and checking out the hotel room we headed for the beach. After a little bit of walking we finally made it to the beach. The sand felt so warm in between the my toes and the ocean had a salty smell that I haven’t smelled in a very long time. Everyone ran right into the ocean once we got a spot to put are stuff. The water at first was cold, but after awhile it felt really good since it was a hot day. As the trip went on my cousin and I made lots of friends from different places. Some where from the south, others from the north, but all of them were great people. For most of the trip we ate out a lot, but my mom would occasionally make a home cooked meal. It was such a fun trip, but before we knew it the seven day vacation was over and we were on the rode again heading back for good-ole Ohio. These are the reasons I would choose this memory to go inside the bottle. However I wouldn’t open it every day to relive that moment. If I did the experience would get boring after a while. For me it would be a once in a while thing.
