On October 7th my family and I went to Europe. We left at 11 o'clock at night and got there at noon the next day. From the airport we took a cab to the hotel. We were in London for2 days before we met the tour guide and went on to Wales. We went on a ferry from there to Ireland for 6 days. We took a buggy ride one day. One day we went threw the woods were they said leperchauns were seen. We spend 2 days in Dublin. Then we took a ferry back to Wales. From there we went to Liverpool England.We stayed in the hotel were Roy Rogers stayed at. We spend 4 days there. One day we went to the highlands. It was real cold up there. While we were there we saw the lock ness monster. Nessie din't move are anything. We took some pictures of the lock ness. The next day we went to Glasco were we stayed 2 nights. One night we went to a show were they danced on stage. They played the vilon and everything. They had men dancing skirts. They served chicken and potatoes for dinner. After we left Glasow we went to York. While I was in York I ate at a Pizza Hut. It was forever before I got waited on. After I left York I went to Leeds were I spend the night. The next day we came back to London. That evening we went to a pub. We all laughed and talked and drank. When we got back to the hotel I hung out in the bar with the ozzies. The next day we went to the airport and flew to NYC. On the plane I had to sit next to a strange woman. After we landed in NYC I was glad to be back in America. I will always rememer this trip for as long as I live.

My enjoyment of my free time is spent in many ways. I like hanging out and catching up with my friends. I really enjoy many forms of exercise and going to the gym. The most important form of leisure to me is spending it with my family.

To me, catching up on things and getting to hang out with my friends is a great way to spend my spare time. I like to go shopping and being able to try on clothes with my girl-friends. I also think being able to walk around a park and maybe even bringing the kids is a good way to catch up and hang out. Just one evening out to dinner and having a casual conversation, or just having a relaxing evening out with a friend is a good way to spend if I get a free evening.

Another way I enjoy my time off is spent in many forms of exercise or even going to the gym. I like to get out and walk, sometimes even run for several miles to challenge myself. Going to the gym for a good workout clears my head and it also is a good stress release for me. My favorite is spent hiking with my father and we spend the day observing nature, and it's also a great getaway from daily life if I get any leisure time.

Most importantly to me is to be able to spend time with my family. I think having a game night is a great way to spend with them to catch up on everyday things. Getting to go biking is a very enjoyable way to spend with my family and is a good activity too when we are free. I also love to spend a pleasant evening just sitting around a campfire and going camping with my family as well.

These are many ways that I enjoy spending my free time along with so much more that I love to do. I think just to be able to catch up and hang out with my friends once in a while is a great escape. To be able to go out to the gym or even go exercise is mentally and physically a good way to spend if I get time off. The most significant way that I can spend any spare time is with with family.
