Saturday 12/22/18 and Sunday 12/23/18 - Whole Family Trips

On Saturday (12/22), I woke up in the morning and I realized that it was my parents’ birthday. Both my mom and my dad’s. I gave them my handmade presents, but sadly I didn’t have the time to buy them something nice from the store. They both still liked their birthday presents though. We were going to take pictures like we always do each year. We were all getting ready, and we drove there and took pictures. Then we are at a nice Chinese restaurant. It was really good, and I enjoyed it but we were all too full for dessert. There were lamb kabobs, fried rice, and other assortments of meat or vegetables. There was this bok choy soup with tofu that tasted really good. Then, we left and went home. I then went to Costco with my dad, and we bought some snacks and other things. After that, we went home for dinner. After dinner, my dad said that we might be going on a road trip the next day even though we hadn’t started planning so I packed my clothes for 7 days. I slept at around 10:30 that day, and I woke up around 5:30 the next day. Sunday (12/23): At the time before lunch,  my dad found 3 old phones and he decided to give them to my sister and me. Even though I can’t really do anything on the phone it still makes me happy. Then, we all ate lunch. My mom suggested driving 1 hour to go to this place called Mission Inn where "over one million lights" light up. So we went there and I read Webtoons on the car. When we got there, there was a weird smell and I was already feeling slightly sick, I was coughing, which made my throat hurt, and I had a stuffy nose, I also had a headache. We walked to Mission Inn, but it was too early for the light show so we went to shopping malls around there and bought some food. We ate some snacks and then at around 5 P.M., the light show started. I took pictures and it was really pretty. The lights were tied around the building and there were other things like trees wrapped with lights. Then, we walked to the car and headed to another city to eat dinner. We chose an Italian restaurant, but they didn’t serve soup so my dad and I went to the store next door to buy some miso soup. Then, we went back into the Italian restaurant just in time to order. I ordered an Alfredo that was pretty good. Then we finished eating and I was coughing a lot, the soup thankfully helped my sore throat. We all got into the car and drove back home. It was a really fun trip but right now I am still coughing with a stuffy nose and headache,
