I would say that one of the best holidays I had was a family picnic. In July 2017, the whole family planned to spend a day at the beach. We went to Turtle Beach. It was also the monsoon season at that time, so the weather was very pleasant. We decided that the best time to go to the beach would be in the morning. On the weekend, we all gathered at our grandmother's house for breakfast, and then we had a bus ride booked to the beach. The bus ride was very enjoyable since I was with my cousins, and we were all listening to songs. When we reached the beach, we had a lot of fun. The air was refreshing, the winds were breezy, and the water was crystal blue. We played cricket and took many photographs since it was the first outing we had as a complete family. We also had lunch at the beach, enjoying sandwiches that we had prepared. We spent the whole day outdoors. We had a hard book, but we spent very little time inside and most of our time outside. In the evening, we had tea and enjoyed the sunset over the beach. When it started getting dark, we went back home.
