My 24-Hour Solo Vacation: A Day of Freedom and Surprises!

   

Hi everyone! It’s Salish, and guess what? I went on my very first 24-hour vacation ALL BY MYSELF! Well… that’s what I thought.

Let me tell you all about my adventure, and a little "surprise twist" that I wasn’t expecting!

The Plan: A Day of Fun, Freedom, and Relaxation
When I started this journey, I was SO excited to have a whole day just for me. No schedules, no rules—just me and all the freedom in the world!

My plan was simple: explore, have fun, and try a few things I’ve never done before. 

Here’s what my day looked like:

1. Morning Relaxation
I kicked things off with a cozy breakfast at a cute café. I ordered the yummiest pancakes ever (with extra whipped cream, of course) and just enjoyed the calm vibe. No rush, no interruptions—it was perfection!

2. Adventure Time
Next, I rented a bike and rode through some beautiful trails. The fresh air, the sun on my face—it was amazing! Plus, I found a cool little park where I stopped to do some yoga (and yes, I tried a few new poses).

3. Shopping Spree 
Who can resist a little retail therapy? I hit up a local market and picked out some cute accessories and snacks. It felt so cool to shop for myself!

4. Art Attack
I took a painting class! It was SO fun getting my hands messy with colors and letting my creativity flow. My painting might not make it to a gallery, but it’s definitely going on my wall.

5. Evening Treats 
As the sun set, I found a food truck serving the best tacos ever. I sat on a bench, watched the sky turn pink, and just soaked it all in.

The Surprise!
But here’s the twist—my dad had a SECRET PLAN. While I thought I was completely on my own, he was actually keeping an eye on me from a distance.

At first, I was a little annoyed, but then I realized he just wanted to make sure I was safe while still letting me enjoy my freedom. Classic dad move, right?

This 24-hour vacation taught me so much about independence and adventure. I’m already planning my next solo trip—this time, maybe with a "tiny bit" less spying! 😊
