(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

Our family vacationed in Europe.
We flew to the beaches of Spain.
We hopped¹ on a ferry to England.
We traveled through France on a train.
We lugged² all our luggage to Denmark.
We dragged all our baggage to Greece,
We hoisted³ our backpacks and handbags,
our suitcase, our trunk and valise.
We rambled⁴ through dozens of ruins.
We wandered through castles galore.
We must have seen hundreds of statues --
cathedrals and mosques⁵ by the score.
We pored over paintings in Paris.
We tramped through museums in Rome,
and all of the while I was thinking
how much I would rather be home.
At last we are done with our travels!
We've seen every kingdom and nation.
But we're so completely exhausted⁶
that we need another vacation!
