My Grandparents have a house on the Chesapeake Bay, Annapolis Maryland. We go tubing, wakeboarding, sailing, paddle boarding, kayaking, and swimming. There’s nothing better than going so fast that the wind is blowing on your hair and skipping over the waves where you go flying on the tube or even just sitting on the boat is fun.
Something I love to do is bring friends down to their house and we’ll spend a couple days swimming and other motorized activities! When we go tubing the tube is meant for two people but we love to do three or four. I brought my friend Parker down to my grandparents excited for a fun time. We both ended up going tubing together, the best part is when we turned and then parker since she was on the outside her legs were flopping around banging on the water. They would land on a wave and go shooting up towards the sky. Once Parker and I went flying over a wave and did like 360 flips and the tube landed because the driver made a sharp turn and we went right over the wake which caused me to…flip.
Another thing we did is went kayaking that wasn’t the best experience though. The way the houses are built is you have a house up on the top of a hill and then you have a path leading down to a dock and there are obviously walls around the edge of the water which the dock connects to. So when we were kayaking the wind was blowing us in that direction and Parker wasn’t helping much screaming at me to turn when clearly I was trying. The reason we needed to turn is there are barnacles on the pilings. Barnacles are sharp and can give you infections so obviously we didn’t want to run into them. We were very close to the barnacles and thats my biggest fear…barnacles. My whole life I have been scared of them because my grandma always told me to stay away, that they were dangerous. After that my sister and I have never gone near them because we are also kind of germaphobes, so we just thought they were gross and scary.
There are so many more fun activities that we love to do at my grandparents. Tubing is my favorite thing to do. I think that it’s very exciting when you go flying off the tube, even falling off is exciting because you catch the air when you hit a wave and go flying. We like to go tubing on a weekday when it’s not busy because people are working also you don’t have to worry about all the boats around you for the driver and for the rider when they fall off. It’s a very exciting experience.
