TRANSCRIPTazurewhite
This Labor Day the weather is supposed to be really nice, no rain but not too hot either, so we’re definitely going away. Unlike last year we had to stick to a lunch with our neighbors because it was raining for like a week. My friends wanted to stay home and have a barbeque in the park nearby, but come on! This is our last weekend before we all go away to college, we need to have tons of fun! And definitely not in this tiny boring town. So I convinced them to rent a house by the ocean near New York City. It’s just half‑an‑hour ride and there’s a harbor nearby that’s famous for its Labor Day festival that ends with fireworks. So that’s where we’ll go on Monday after two days of beach fun. Now that’s what I call a good weekend away! My mom says I’ll miss the parade, but they’re not as good as the Thanksgiving ones, so I don’t care.
