The Great Escape

Driving for hours on a long road, passing by cities and countryside,
We finally find ourselves peeking over the buildings to see it,
The vast, powerful, and breathtakingly beautiful ocean,
After all the bickering and laughing we had arrived,
Laying on the scorching white beaches for hours,
Our skin turning from colorless to auburn,
Enjoying the time to take it easy,
Eating the marvelous fresh seafood,
Enjoying the sunset walks on the white sand,
We had to leave our short-lived vacation home,
And return to our regular lives and permanent abode,
The rolling lush green hills and wide open space of Missouri,
Driving for hours on a long road, passing by cities and countryside
