Day 1 of my trip

"20 years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do then by the things you did do" -Mark Twain. In July of 2017, my brother left for basic training for the national guard reserves to be a big wheel mechanic. If he passed basic training he would graduate with the rest of his group in October of 2017. In October of 2017, my family and I took a week off from work and school to go down to South Carolina for my brothers graduation since it is a once in a lifetime thing. We ended up leaving on a Friday after work and came home 10 days later on Sunday around 11:00 pm. Before we left we had to make sure we had all of our homework from our teachers and had everything packed the Thursday before we left. Friday after school I went to volleyball practice until my parents were done working. After work the picked my up and we left straight from there. We took my dads bosses van, they borrowed it to us while they were in Massachusetts. My dad drove most of the way, my mom was in the passengers seat, my two sisters were in the middle seats, and I was in the way back with the cooler and all the bags. Friday night we drove to Wisconsin dells and spent the night there. We got to the hotel around midnight, when we got to the hotel we laid out our clothes for the following day, then put on our swimsuits and went swimming until 2:00 am. We got back to our room and by the time we were all showered and in bed it was 3:00 am. We woke up at 6:00 am and were on the road by 6:30 am. We stopped for breakfast at McDonald's. While we were in the drive through, my mom was on Facebook and saw that it was a birthday of a loved one that pasted away a in July or 2017. The rest of the day was long and full of tears. Our next stop was Chicago.
