Camping with My Family My family and I decided to go camping last holiday. Father prepared the tent and other equipment. Mother prepared the cooking and eating utensils. I took my fishing rod and my brother brought his sport equipment. When everything was ready, we left for the camping site in countryside. There were many campers when we arrived at the camping site. Unfortunately, the good location near the river had been occupied by other campers so we had to look for another place. Finally, we found a good place little bit further. It was near a big tree. After setting up the tent, my father and I went fishing. We joined other people sitting on the rock near the river. In the evening, father made a fire. Mother cooked the fish we caught.

Vacation to The Anyer Beach I always love beach so when my father decided to go to the beach last weekend I agreed at once. I brought everything I need at the beach like swimming suit, towel, sun glasses, and hat. Arriving at the Anyer Beach, I rushed to the beach to catch the sunset. Watching the red sky in the horizon and the sun went down slowly was amazing. The hotel for us to stay was small and clean. The hotel staffs were so friendly. And the most important thing is its location was near the beach. Early in the morning I walked along the beach. I found a beautiful place to lie. I enjoyed the sunrise while lying on the sand.
