Help with proof reading: Estaba el verano y mis amigos

Question

Estaba el verano y mis amigos y yo decidimos que no quedarnos a casa verano y viajábamos a Francia en coche.

It was summer and my friends and I decided that we wouldn't stay at home that summer and we travelled to France by car.

Corrections?

Answer 1

You have little bit of redundancy in both languages. I would say:

It was summer and my friends and I decided that we wouldn't stay at home, so we travelled to France by car.

Era el verano y mis amigos y yo decidimos no quedarnos en casa, así que nos viajamos a Francia en coche.

Answer 2

Hello. some errors in both languajes:

It was summer, my friends and I decided not to stay at home in summer and traveled to France by car.

Era verano, mis amigos y yo decidimos no quedarnos en casa en verano y viajamos a Francia en coche.

Good luck

Answer 3

I'm sure mine will need to be corrected too but "Estaba el verano y mis amigos y yo habiamos decidido que no ibamos a quedarnos en casa este verano así que viajamos a Francia en coche."
