St. John
I was looking out the window of the plane. It was a cold,
stormy day at JFK Airport. I couldn’t feel the breeze anymore because I was
boarding the plane to St. John.
I had been to St. John three times before. I knew that the
food was great there and the beaches were amazing.
My dad was working for the Jim Simons’ foundation. Jim
Simons was a multi-billionaire and that was the only reason we were going on
this trip for the 4th time.
Once we got there me and my brother got on our swimsuits and
jumped in the super crystal clear warm water. The water was so warm it felt
like being in a hot tub on a warm sunny day. The clearness of the water was
like looking at glass. The sun was beating on me so hard I thought I was going
to get sunburned. There was a floating dock that has been in the water the past
two years. It was about fifty yards away from shore. The sky was cloudless and
it was the color of pink and orange. The sun was just barely hovering over the
horizon.
My mom called me and my brother to come over so we could get
changed and go to dinner. My stomach was lurching as me and my brother walked
back to the cabin.
Then we walked to the diner to grab and amazing dinner. We
met our dad and sister and sat down. We ordered quickly and talked about our
day. After our food came we started eating like crazy because, like I’ve told
you, the food is amazing. I had a huge dinner and the food was great and once
everyone finished we headed back to the cabin.
As we were getting closer to the cabin we spotted a donkey
happily eating grass. Our family went over to get a closer look and we all
ended up touching him and petting his mane. Then we spotted a mongoose sitting
in the corner of the field stalking us. At first I was scared because earlier
that year my dad said that mongooses killed king cobras, but my dad told me
they were afraid of us. So when I walked closer the mongoose acted like a
squirrel and ran away. Then we finished our walk back to the cabin and
continued talking about our day again. We finally we reached the cabin. Then we
got changed, brushed our teeth and we all went to sleep instantly. My time on
St. John was an amazing experience filled with family, fun and adventure.
