My Traveling Summer

My summer started off at Ohio.

 

So we went on a hike before Khang and Nam came. I had to walk while ThucDan got to ride the bike. Lucky me… I didn’t know we were gonna go like a MILE away from the house. So of course I was unprepared. When we came back Khang and Nam were already there(I think). Then Nam started yelling about how in his room the ship thingy was knocked down. He was blaming me. Don’t think I’m guilty, cause I’m not Nam. So anyway, the next day my mom was leaving. In my mind I was like “YOU’RE LEAVING US HERE. GREAT.” But of course that didn’t bother her even if I said it out loud.

 

 

So here is a summary of my summer. Ohio,Florida,Bahamas,Florida,North Carolina and then finally back home in Arizona.Now, here is a story about my summer. Here is the normal schedule of the day: eat,homework,play,eat,play,eat,drink milk,video games,sleep,wake,eat,homework……. and so on. Sometimes Vinh came over and once Ryan slept over Alex came over a couple times. But other than those times it was pretty much boring old routines.

 

But boring no more! Well kind of. Not really. Well let’s just get on with it. So on the way I played on my iPad for only a little and then we were there. Man was Y Vien and Khoi happy excited mad confused well you know what I mean. So when we went to sleep man was it crazy. Khoi Y Vien ThucQuyen and Bien (Khang pulled him out. Or was it Nam? Eh we’ll never know. Wait was it both?)so me and ThucDan slept on the floor. Good thing:Khoi had a lava lamp and turned it on. Bad thing: they were SO LOUD AND ANNOYING(before you comment that I am annoying think twice Nam)they kept on giggling like little girls(before you comment that I am little girl also think twice Nam)and they were looking down at me like they were stalkers and every time I looked at them they would be like “SSSSHHHHEEEEE SSSSSSAAAAWWWW UUUUSSSS!”(basically only Khoi actually)they would also go back under the blanket like five seconds after I saw them. But eventually I stopped looking at them and I went to sleep. So first thing in the morning: breath. Some people say”First thing in the morning is shower.” UH NO ITS NOT ITS BREATH LADY OR MAN OR WHATEVER SPECIES YOU ARE! If you really think about it it is. So anyway, when we went on the plane it was small and we had to walk out to it. Now I was expecting a big airplane but if you think about it then you would say,”Well not everyone can plan a trip to the Bahamas. But I can, so MAN AM I A LUCKY DUCKY OR TUSY GOOT OR WHATEVER YOU ADULTS SAY WHEN SOMEONE’S LUCKY LIKE ME.” No I actually didn’t say that but I will plan a trip to Ohio or Florida or wherever you live and YELL IT IN YOUR FACE or is your ear? Yep it’s your ear. 

 

So when we got there I noticed, IT WAS SO HOT. I hate hotness even though I live in a desert, Arizona. But Arizona isn’t a literal desert with hotness like the Bahamas. I mean sure some people say that the Bahamas is paradise(no one actually says that but stick with me here people) but really, is paradise HOT LIKE A LITERAL DESERT. No one would call it paradise(read the one in parentheses before this one)if it were a literal DESERT LIKE I SUGGESTED IN MY MIND BUT NOOOOO NO ONE LISTENED TO ME BECAUSE I REALIZED THAT I SAID IT IN MY MIND. Ok so let’s just say that when we got to the hotel it was HUMONGOUS AND I COULDN’T REMEMBER WHICH WAY WE WERE SUPPOSED TO GO. But enough yelling and let’s focus on THE HEATNESS. Did I already express my feelings about the heat? Yep I think I did so now let me tell you about the beach. So when we went to the beach the waves weren’t that big and the sand was itchy but at least that made the HEATNESS wore it down. I put water all over myself and then put on sand. The sand stuck to me so then I was like,”WE SHALL DEFEAT WATER SHALL WE OR SHALL WE NOT.”. I got my answer because the waves came crashing down on me.(the real thing was my grandma yelled at me)So when we went back I like got lost so all I did was look around and follow the adults since I didn’t know where to go. How do they memorize it so much? I thought children were the highlight *sad face. So I don’t remember when this was but I think it was that day but anyway, We saw this theatre and Nam’s mom suggested we should watch Moana. I said yes. But in my mind I was like, “I’VE ALREADY SEEN MOANA LADY.”. Uhhhhhhhhhhhh I just noticed if she reads this it’ll be rude. Well then if you are reading this thank you and sorry not sorry(sorry). So when we went to sleep I blah blah blahed. So when we woke up we went to this like dock kind of thing and went on a boat. I thought we were just strolling around the island(now that I think about it wouldn’t strolling around the island be tiring?)but actually we went to A WHOLE DIFFERENT ISLAND. When we were near, the driver said people could jump off and swim to shore. But no one I knew went. So when he said that he also said there were life vests and snorkel mask things to snorkel. We could snorkel over the coral but not stand on it. I stayed in the shallow part for a while when Nam’s dad said,”Wanna go snorkeling?” I was like heck yeah! So I got a life vest and a snorkel mask and went. While we were getting ready ThucDan came over with Khang and said,”We went over to the coral without a life vest and almost drowned. Khang grabbed onto me and pulled us both in. Then he disobeyed the driver’s orders and stood on the coral.” I was like obviously, he couldn’t have done any worse than pulling my sister into the water and standing on the coral when the driver clearly said not to. I saw a blue tang and this cool yellow fish and a school of minnows. So after we went back to shore and played an egg toss game. After, we played a game where there were two teams and on each team people took turns to be blindfolded. The person had to run to the water spin around three times and run back. I was last and had a pretty hard time. When the game was over I put on the mask and swam around in the shallow end. I tried grabbing minnows in schools but they were like the fish version of the Flash. In my mind I was like “DID YOU GET HIT BY LIGHTNING LIKE BARRY ALLEN OR WHAT(Barry Allen is Not the Flash)” Then bigger fish were just swimming at my feet and I was like “Stand still just stand still and hopefully the aren’t eels.” No I was actually kinding there weren’t any eels or stuff like that but if there were it wouldn’t be pretty. Then we left and got to see Michael Jordan’s house. So when we went to sleep we got to play on our iPads and stuff but people in the hotel kept joining my game which made me frustrated since I was trying to build. The next day was our last day(I think)and we went to the public pool for the Lazy River and the slides. But we kind of got lost and so we stopped at this ice cream place. There was a sign that said,”Whatever goes up must come down. PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE PIGEONS.” We got the message. So after getting lost again a couple times we found the Lazy River. ThucQuyen, ThucDan and I went together. The others split up. So we went around like five times. Then when Nam’s dad was at the beginning, we went off. Nam was still on there but we went anyway. We couldn’t leave Nam so we stayed at the kiddie pool until he came. He said,”I GOT LOST:)” So when we went to the pool Khang and ThucDan went to the bathroom. When they came back they wanted for me and Nam to come and see something. Well mostly Khang wanted Nam to come and not me, but ThucDan said I could come. So they showed us a slide that went into a tube that took us under water. I went with ThucDan. When we got to the top of the line, there was a sign that said everyone had to be a certain height to go on the slide. I was tall enough and I was happy although Khang was not. When we went down it was dark and scary. When we entered the tube, there was water that poured down. On top of the tube there a shark. Just laying there. I was like,”Please don’t break the glass. Please don’t break the glass.” Then I noticed that the shark was just trying to enjoy his summer like us. When we left, ThucDan said there was a slide that was lit. It turned out to be a small short slide. But the pool that the slide went into was like 5 feet so ThucDan had to hold me. We went back to the regular pool and I tried to chase Nam but without goggles, it was hopeless. I asked,”Hey where’s Bien and ThucQuyen?” They turned out to be back in the hotel. Then we went to eat and the food was seafood which was cool. Well folks guess that’s the end of my Bahamas trip let’s go back to Florida.

 

 

So when we came back to Florida, we immediately went to the pool. I didn’t bring my goggles but luckily, Khoi had some. At the pool Y Vien and I went to the 4 feet part. Y Vien had a floatie and it was a toucan. When I went underwater she would duck her head in and open her eyes. It kind of looked she had bubbles in her eyes. So we went back and ate, played some video games and went to sleep. When I woke up we had a cool exercise. Khoi had this lamp that was connected to his mom’s phone. Khoi went on YouTube and played a song. We all danced to it. Surprisingly I saw my mom and dad downstairs just right there. Nam’s dad suggested we go to this beach. As we were setting down our things, Ryan and his friend’s families came over.  When we were in the water, the waves kept crashing down like someone, not specifically Percy Jackson, but someone was controlling it trying to make us die. Then we went to the sand a bit and made mountains of sand. There a part of the water where the sand acted like slime. Angela( a friend I met a Ryan’s birthday party)and I grabbed some of it and played with it. After we were done, we went to the place where you can wash off the sand and the salt off.  Then we ate lunch. So when we were leaving I asked Angela if she was coming to the house with us. She was and she did. We ate pizza while the older ones ate at Hot Pot or something. Angela and I swapped iPads and played on each other. Then we watched some YouTube. When I woke up we had to go home. Guess that was the end.

 

 

The trip was short since we went to Charlotte. After Charlotte, we went to home, Arizona. When we got home, man was I glad. I was so glad I kissed the floor. No I didn’t actually kiss the floor. But a little later I found this photo on my mom’s phone, zoomed in on the star and screenshotted it. But I can’t show you the picture since something is wrong and I can’t put the picture on.But anyway, School was like a nightmare full of pencils,books,folders,papers and the worst thing yet: HOMEWORK!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

So that is all I have for you guys and thank you for reading my blog. Anyway, what I wanted to say is please comment what my theme should be. I can’t decide because the good ones make my letters hard to see, and some of them just don’t feel right. For now, I’ll stick with the hummingbird. This post is now 2145 words( including the words after the number). Thank you.

    you need to put more comma and period so we can read it with breathing 🙂
    right now, when I read your post, it’s like i can’t have a break to breath 🙂

  2. Maybe I don’t know but probably not because there would be way to many sun burns on my face

  3. The egg toss was a bad day. I cut my hand on that egg shell. Sad to see good eggs go to waste.
