My best holiday

My family and I has already went to many beautiful and cool places. My Best Holiday was when we (me and my family) went to Caruaru, Pernambuco, when I was seven years old. My grandfather and my grandmother live in this city. In this trip, we went by car. We spent two and a half day!! In Pernambuco we spent one month (December), in my grandfather’s farm. Here we woke up earlier than in São Paulo. I helped my grandfather in his work (that was so good) and me, my father, my grandfather and my brother went to the market of cattle. We come back to São Paulo, with so many memories of this Holiday, or better, my BEST Holiday.
