Vacations
Melina B is an employee at The Arc of Midland. She makes the office much more fun, and we love seeing her each day. Melina is authoring the blog, and “spilling the tea” about all sorts of things while sharing her perspective! Follow along as Melina posts each Monday for “Mondays with Melina.”
This week, Melina shares one of her favorite things: vacations! Traveling is about so much more than just getting away—it’s about creating meaningful connections, making memories, and enjoying time with the people we care about. At The Arc of Midland, we understand how important it is for everyone to have opportunities like these, which is why we support individuals in planning for trips, saving for experiences, and, most importantly, ensuring they stay safe along the way. From budgeting tips to practical travel advice, we help make sure that vacations are as enjoyable as they are safe for the people we serve.
For Melina, vacations are more than just trips—they’re moments to recharge, connect with family, and create memories she cherishes forever.
Without further ado…
I love going to Shanty creek, Chicago , Charlotte, Traverse city, Europe, Landon, Paris, England, New York City, Longlisland, Disney world, California carmel by the Lake , Sun Franscio, Florida, i love going on Vacations because i can do whatever i want to do in the car. And grabbing MCDONALDS on the way. I like to listen to music. I like watching shows, taking a snooze in the car and getting all comfy. I like taking pictures of what I saw or my food. I like seeing everyone having fun. I also went to Kentucky. That was fun. We went in a parity Limo and we danced which was so awesome I had a blast. It was so much fun. I loved going on Vacations because it is my favorite thing to do. I love doing fun activities. And having a grand time ! I enjoy eating out and taking pictures of my food. And Farm Animals. And having fun. I also went to a Dolphin show! I enjoyed it . I love dolphins because they are my favorite animal. I love going on trips with my family. Because I had fun I am not a huge fan of shopping ! I don't like the pollon but as long as it is planned first.i love it because it is also good for my mental health traveling and seeing people that we don't get to see often! And talk about what's new. I would be sad if i didn't i would be sad at home so when i go on Vacations. It makes me feel good and myself. When I get home I feel very exhausted. The next morning I felt cheery. Go back to reality. My favorite things on a trip are ice cream and cheeseburgers pizza! I had fun going on trips
