Around 6:20 tomorrow morning, I will be walking up my street (literally up, it’s a hill), where, at the top, I shall catch the school bus to my first day of school. With this, my high school years will begin, and yet another chapter of my life ends. But, with these four years of high school up and coming, I am beginning some new things that look like tons of fun, and am preparing for the four years of life some people consider the best.

As far back as I can remember, every year I went somewhere on a vacation with my grandparents. I have always felt that I am exponentially lucky to have grandparents who are willing to take me on such vacations every year out of their own will and pocket. I did not know that this is a trend becoming more and more popular, but now that I know this, I am going to provide my thoughts on it.
First of all, I am going to provide a little history on my vacationing with grandparents, as this will tie into a few…
