It’s sunset, the water sparkles in the distance. The skies are painted with colors; blue,
purple, pink, orange, as fog, low fog billows on the deep blue hues of the ocean.
Devyn Brown has experienced this before, on many occasions. The Virgin Islands, the
Bermuda Triangle, Iceland. Devyn, a junior and Tyler Brown, a senior at North and their family
will be taking a trip this coming June. The vacation is to last about three weeks as Devyn,
Tyler and family travel by RV westward towards California. They plan to visit the Grand Canyon,
Mount Rushmore, and even go river rafting.

” I’m looking forward to seeing Mount Rushmore,” Devyn said.” I’ve never been their before
and I’m excited to go back to the Canyons.”

Devyn and Tyler both estimate that together they have visited over 100 places, as some
vacation spots have been visited multiple times. The Brown family visits Florida every summer
and goes to Colorado every winter.

The expense to so many and such elaborate vacations is due to their parents. James Brown
owns his own business as a lawyer and Sherrie Brown works in the office there. James not only
provides unbelievable escapes for his family, but also wins a lot of things on the radio, such as
tickets and backstage passes to concerts.

From cruises to the Virgin Islands, to swimming with dolphins and scuba diving with sharks in
Bermuda, the Brown family has experienced it all.

” In Bermuda, it was the clearest water I’ve seen in my life,” Devyn said.” It was bright blue,
so clear I could look down and see all the fish.”

A cruise to St. Thomas in the Caribbean was most favorable to Tyler. When the cruise stopped
in Miami, Florida, Tyler enjoyed the port as he explains it to be really fun.

” I like vacationing because usually it’s nice to not be near my home town,” Tyler said.” I like
being near the ocean, it’s so much more fun.”

The last of the light sets on Paradise Point. Warm breezes float onto the grassy, sandy Island
mountain off the ocean’s cool waters. The memories of past vacations are embedded in the Brown
families minds as they embark onto their next family vacation.

” I love all the pretty sights I get to see that others may never get to see in their entire lifetimes.”
Devyn said.” And I love being with my family.”
