Washington Island
Standing on an overlook on Washington Island, I feel as if I look away for just a moment, I will miss something wonderful occur in the gorgeous scenery before me. I feel as though I am at peace with the lush, green forest, but at the same time, simply awestruck. I experience the sensation of a subtle breeze breaking the still, humid summer air. I take a deep breath in and smell the crisp, fresh scent of the beautiful island. My aunt, grandma, two cousins, and I were there for a short, sweet, one-day vacation filled with site-seeing and other entertaining activities. So far, we had gone on the ferry ride over there, stopped at an outdoor restaurant, and now we were up on the tower. I gaze into the mesmerizing sky as blue as a robin's egg and am suddenly sure that I never want to leave this breathtakingly astonishing place.
