My Awesome Vacation

   Recently, I just experienced an astonishing trip with my family. It was super great because I usually don't get much time with my family to go out and have a vacation. It was 9 days! In total, we drove 3,200 miles (about, by the way if you add it all up you get 3117 but, including restroom stops, meals, and gas it took more time and the speed limits).
  The first day was a driving day, we drove from, California to Tucson, Arizona it was on December 21st, 2019 and it took 470 miles (7 hr, 7 min). We stayed Holiday Inn and the room was nice. It had the basic needs, sink at the door, small bathroom right across which included a shower/bath and a toilet with a towel rack above it and just a small hallway to get to the two queen beds, with a TV and table across from. I watched cooking shows and cartoons and we stayed on the 1st floor. My family and I ate ramen.
  The 2nd day we drove to Phoenix, Arizona and to keep myself entertained I made a short trailer from iMovie called "The Gans on The Loose" and for the pictures I used an app that made things distorted but I got rid of it because my mom didn't like it. We also went to Saguaro National Park and watched a movie about how saguaros have a human resemblance and took a short trail. I also learned that the skeleton of the saguaro looks like wood. After visiting, we stayed in SpringHill Suites by Marriott and had a great stay. It had a couch at the front of the door which had a pull out bed + sofa bed and had a desk with essentials and a long coffee table, passing through the wide open spaced hallway you see a TV on a table and there are two very nice queen beds with two tall lanterns and a hanging TV. When you go into another side area here is a nice sink included with lotion and soft, velvety creamy colored towels. and a bathroom across from it that includes a toilet and a shower/bathtub. I watched youtube on the TV. This was on December 22, 2019 - my parent's birthday (they share one and I gave them presents). It took 113 miles (1 hr, 39 min) We visited Arizona State University and we visited an art exhibit there and took a few steps down and saw a library. Also, my family and I got to eat delicious Thai food with our cousin and uncle.
  The 3rd day we went to Albuquerque and also stayed at Holiday Inn. We stayed there for two days actually. The first day staying at Albuquerque my dad told me that 25% of New Mexico's population lived here and he told me about different timezones. This was on December 23, 2019 The next day it was snowing and the irony I find in that is we went to eat Baskin Robins - an ice cream place. I ate cherry blast, I think. After that, we went to the mall and my mom bought my sister a Christmas present since it was Christmas Eve and I couldn't decide so, she said she would get me on later, we played with Jenga (giant version) block and some giant building blocks(not Jenga) After hanging out at that mall we left to eat at an Italian restaurant and I got Margherita pizza and it was delicious! It took 419 miles (6 hr, 41 min).
  The 5th day we traveled all the way to Lubbock, Texas and it was 321 miles away! (5 hr, 7 min.) We stayed at Holiday Inn in a small room and visited Texas Tech, gazing at the beautiful features and eye-catching campus. There was a bull statue that I pretended to ride and a humungous arrow stuck in the ground where I pretended to be trying to pull it out. That night, my family and I ate pizza that was of course delicious! My family and I traveled about 373 miles (5 hr, 51 min). This occurred December 25, 2019. Christmas.
  The 6th day we traveled to Austin, Texas, where my older brother and sister were born and the college my dad and mom used to go to when they came to America. Now, we live in quite a small house for quite a big family. But, it turns out my sibling were born in a huge house! The rent cost a lot though, so my parents sold it out to someone. We also visited 2 other houses that my parents rent out for other people. They had 8 houses total! They also showed us the apartment they used to live in.  My family and I ate Outback Steak Barbecue. We stayed there for another day and they showed us the graduate school they went to UT Austin. It stand for The University of Texas at Austin. We also stayed at Holiday Inn and like all other times we had a refreshing breakfast and stay. And of course, that night we ate County Line Barbecue. These two days were December 26 & 27th, 2019. Of course, My family and I traveled 79 miles (1 hr, 19 min) to San Antonio.
   The 8th day, my family went to San Antonio, Texas where we visited Alamo Mission. We got to learn about the architecture, the fight, and more! We also went on this river walk, where you walk along the river and a downtown place. My family and I stayed at Holiday Inn, of course the stay there is always great and they have complimentary breakfast. (I almost said free, which is kind of true). That night, my family and I ate takeout Thai food. This occurred December 28, 2019. Then, My family and I traveled 597 miles (8 hr, 39 min) to Las Cruces. We stayed at another Holiday Inn, which I admit was a bit worn down, we ate ramen and since it was all driving that day all we had time to do was play some games, shower and then sleep.
    The 9th day, we then traveled all the way back home to California! Which took 745 miles(11 hr, 43 min). We stopped and several gas stations and ate at Chipotle. We were finally home, it felt good to be in the comfort of home, especially since I heard in order to conserve energy they usually don't wash the blankets and I'm kind of germaphobic. That was my awesome vacation.

King

   From the very day I was born, I was a king. I was worshipped by all people of my nation-- Manilantia. Manilantia is a place of peace. When there is war, people are asked to go beyond the entrance. Back to what that means later. No one could be harmed! All my life, I was treated as a king. Even when I was just a prince. My dad was growing sick and weary and it was only a matter of time before I had to become king! I was always bowed down to in my prince school, even though all were royalty.
  I was treated like a king, bullies were asked to bow down to me or be sent to the dungeon. I have power...

These are the best answers I could think of. I only think this, but do not pay attention to my opinion if you don't want to.

Calm

Calm people barely have to breathe and calm themselves.

They just... don't need it, they are naturally calm. 

If you could be like that people would like it.

You never shout, just look at the difference...

WHO would you want as a friend?

So think about it... if you are not naturally calm, try breathing.
