One car journey that really stuck out?for me was the time?when my household?went?on a?road trip?around?the city Dalian?before?we?settled?there to learn more about it.

?

I?didn’t use to hang out with my?family?very often, so?that’s when?we could finally spend some quality time together. Dad was behind the wheel,?mom took the passenger?seat?and I sat in the back?seat.?I remember looking out of the window, and listening to my parents?chatter away. I also chipped in?occasionally. We had a good laugh?along the way.??

?

Then, after we arrived at the city, we stopped at some?popular destinations,?and that includes?Xinghai Square, which?offers a great view of the ocean. After dinner, we?strolled?along the seafront. I still remember how?blown away?I was by?the stunning seaside view?under the sunset. Though the annoying seagulls overhead?kind of ruined the moment?for me! Earlier that day, we also?went to?the aquarium?and said hello to the adorable seals and penguins.

?

There are several things I liked about the journey. What struck me the most was?how spontaneous?it was. Traveling independently?really allowed us to be flexible with?our itinerary. One day we?originally?set out for?a tourist attraction?but suddenly decided It wasn’t worth the effort?so we just lazed around and enjoyed some seafood instead.

?

So overall?I’d say I really enjoyed this car trip. It not only created some amazing memories??but?also got me falling madly in love with the city?in a matter of days.
