Today I will tell you about a family vacation that I took a while ago. Coincidentally it was a holiday, my in-laws' family contacted me, and then invited my family to join the recreation on the beach. At the same time to attend a family gathering that we haven't done in a long time. The location of the beach is at the end of Blang Beach, Lhokseumawe Aceh, Indonesia. Here's the location using what3words: https://w3w.co/hexagonal.scarce.dash

Ujung Blang beach is one of the tourist destinations in my city and this beach is always crowded with visitors, both on holidays and on normal days. Due to the location of the beach which is not far from the city center and very affordable, this beach is never deserted. Moreover, along the beach there are huts or cafes where visitors can relax enjoying the sea view and tasting beach specialties.

With my husband and daughter, we headed to one of the cafe huts that had been agreed to be a place for family gatherings as well as a place to relax for the family which was on the seafront or the beach at the tip of Blang. We gathered together, there were already present my brother-in-law, sister-in-law and nephew as well as my mother and father-in-law.

family time

We spent time together chatting, joking. We also enjoyed the food and drinks provided at the cafe. For a typical beach snack in my area, it is rujak, which is food made from various kinds of fruit pieces which are then mixed with peanut sauce that has been given chili and sweets. The taste of the salad is very fresh and distinctive. The price for 1 portion is only 10,000.

I really enjoyed being together with my family that day with the comfortable beach location, the beautiful blue sky seemed to blend with the sea water. I can not look at him. The waves and the breeze make the atmosphere feel fresh.

I then took a walk on the beach and set my feet on the sand looking at the deep and immeasurable open sea. Being close to nature is a healing activity that sometimes we need to restore positive energy in our hearts and minds. For me the sea and the beach always bring its own beauty and comfort. I never get tired of visiting the beach and sea. Meanwhile my nephew looks busy playing sand while bathing in sea water. They look very cheerful.

The moment of togetherness on a holiday with family is a precious moment. Thus we spent time on the beach while joking in a friendly atmosphere to establish cohesiveness between family members. Hopefully next time we can take a vacation and go on a trip together.
