India 2018

             For Summer holidays we went to India. We went to see our family and spend time with them. Also we went to go see ancient temples that are very famous. 

             We spent a lot of time with our grandparents and we had a lot of fun with them. Sometimes we went to restaurants and ate food. We went to movies. We all played games together and I learned how they live in India. Sometimes we went shopping and we went to shopping malls which are really fun in India. We went shopping to modern shopping centers and big malls. Going there was really fun. One day We went to this big mall named PVP Square. It is really big and there is a place like Chucky Cheese there. We went there for Nihitha's birthday and we had a lot of fun there.  Spending time with my grandparents was fun and hopefully they will come to America some time.

             In India we also went to go see famous temples. First we left to go see the famous temple in Chidambaram and there we saw a temple with a unique design. It was built at the center of the Earth. That is incredible, because they had very less technology back then and they knew it was the center of the Earth. Then we went to go see the famous temple in Trichy which was very big and it had a lot of stairs to climb. At Trichy we had a bad experience, because the old chief minister died and they closed all the restaurants and we did not have anything to eat. After that we made it to Mudurai and there we saw a very big temple. That temple had a very big statue and design on the towers. At Madurai we had a very good hotel and it had a good restaurant. The next morning we left to the airport and headed to Tirupati. Tirupati had the most famous temple ever. It was very busy and the special part of Tirupati is that it had a statue of a god that is all made out of gold. It was very nice.


We had a lot of fun seeing the temples and all of of them were a good experience. 
       
 In India we visited lot of friends and family.

Everyday we went to go see someone and their families. We did have fun with them and played games with them, but going everyday wasn't fun for me. They took us to temples and other places they liked. We liked spending time with them and had a lot of fun with them.

My spring break 2019




My Spring Break 2019



This Spring break I had a lot of fun because Nihitha did not snitch on me and she was being nice to me. Now I tell you all about My Spring Break.
On Saturday, the first day of spring break was very fun and exciting. We went to the farmers market and Nihitha was sitting next to me in the back row. She was playing with me and yanked on my headphones. At the farmers market I got to use our new bag that we got from Las Vegas. The bag had wheels which made it fun to pull. Nihitha was upset that she could not pull the wagon but, I told her she can do it next week. After the farmers market Nihitha had to do this scarecrow building contest with her girl scout friends. We all went there. Me and and Nanna got bored so we went to go see the technology place. It was cool because I got to play on the gaming PCs and Roblox. After that we went back to go see Nihitha. They were almost done and they still had to do the judging. After the judging we went back home. When we got home me and Nihitha went to go play with Jonna. After we came back my dad started a fire in our backyard. We stayed there for a while and went to bed. We had a pretty nice day. 
We did not do much on Sunday so I will skip it and move on to Monday. On Monday me and Nihitha were up and we played until nine. We played with each other until our mom said we had to do a shower. After our shower we had lunch at ten. We ate early because we had to drop off  my dad at the airport. He sat in the back with us and we talked to Nanna all the way to the airport. After we dropped my dad at the airport, Amma took us to the mall. There she bought new clothes for myself. She got me sportswear. After that we went to another mall to get Nihitha clothes. At the mall there was a trampoline. Amma let us go on the trampoline. We bounced very high. I could see the second level of the mall. I saw Ashley furniture and all the sofas and lamps. Later we left the mall for home and studied for some time. After we studied me and Nihitha went to go play with Jonna. After that we went to go eat Thai food. We ate Thai food because Nanna was not here and he does not like Thai food. After we ate dinner we went to sleep. We had a fun day. 
         On Tuesday, I woke up early and I studied with Amma. After that Amma woke up Nihitha and we played for some time. We were helping Amma make lunch and we watched funnel episodes on Disney. After lunch me and Nihitha played Mariokart. We played until we had to go to Tae Kwon Do. After Tae Kwon Do me and Nihitha played with Jonna. When we came home, Amma told me to do the piano. I played the piano and we had dinner. After dinner I practiced piano more and Amma said if I played the song perfectly we can go pick up Nanna from the airport. It took me some time to play it perfectly but, I did it. We went in the Accord to the airport at night time. It was fun because Nihitha was next to me and whenever she is next to me she makes me laugh. We made it to the airport and Nanna told us about his trip. When we got home we went to bed. 
            On Wednesday, I woke up early and studied with Amma. After Nihitha woke up and Nanna went to office, the three of us went to Costco. Me and Nihitha played with each other and talked about the tents they put up. We liked the black tent. At Costco we got a lot of things and the the bill was more than $200. When we got home we had lunch and studied for some time until piano class. I was very happy that I passed the solo. When I got home I went to go play Fortnite at Jonna’s house and we had a lot of fun. I had dinner and went to sleep remembering all the fun things we did so far. 
          On Thursday, after breakfast we studied for a while and played a board game. We played Life and we all had a nice time. We played until lunch and after lunch me and Nihitha played Fortnite until we had to go to Tae Kwon Do. After Tae Kwon Do we went to swimming and we had a fun time there. After we went swimming Amma said that Nihitha gets to do a shower in her room. I said that was not fair but, then she called Nanna and she told him to stop me from entering her bathroom. I thought Nanna will be waiting in the third bedroom so I went through the front door but he still caught me. After I did a shower in the other room we had dinner and went to sleep. 
          The next day Amma woke me up early to take me to get a blood test. I was very nervous because the last time I got a blood test was when I was six years old and I did not like it. At the blood test we had to check in and wait. Then they called us and took my blood first. I was very nervous but it was not that bad. After we got  blood tested we left and went home. At home Nihitha was waiting and when we came back Amma made us breakfast. Then we studied for some time and after lunch me and Nihitha played together. Then it was time to go to Telugu class and at Telugu class we did another practice test to prepare for the university test that comes later in May.  After Telugu class we came home and ate dinner and went to sleep.  
         On Saturday we played at Jonna’s house for some time and then we had good lunch and after we helped Nanna in the garden me and Nihitha had a fun time. After we had dinner we went to sleep.
         On Sunday we went to Chimnmaya and played fortnite after coming home. Me and Nihitha played a board game and at night after dinner we sat down and Nihitha snitch on me and because she snitch I knew spring break was over.

Utah 2019

      Our family and friends were finally able to go on a vacation. We could not  travel because we had harsh winter but, the winter went away and now we could travel.  We went to Utah to see three National Parks.
     We started on Wednesday to a hotel in Mesquite. The hotel was Holiday Inn. The hotel had a swimming pool and a water park. We all had a lot of fun at the pool and water park. Sadly after a few minutes, we had to leave to eat dinner. We ate at an Italian restaurant. The food there was very good. They had good pasta and amazing bread. The pasta was very hot and the bread had a lot of garlic and was very crispy. After we had dinner we came back to the hotel and went to sleep. 
      The next day we woke up very early to get started to Capitol reef National Park. We had a good breakfast at the hotel. I had bread and muffins. After everyone ate, all the kids wanted to go to the gym. We exercised for some time to get ready for the hikes we will do later. Subsequently we left the hotel and me and Kapish played Mario kart in my car. When we reached Capitol Reef National Park we did the Junior Ranger Program and went on a little hike. After we left Capitol Reef, me, Rushil, Kapish, Nihitha, and Aditya played Mario Kart all the way to the vacation house we booked in Moab.
 We had a lot of fun that evening in the vacation house. All the kids wanted to play Fortinite on my nintendo switch. We played until dinner time. We had a fun time playing and we all took turns. While other kids were taking turns, Abhay showed me this funny video where a man pronounced the NBA Players’ names incorrectly. It was very funny. Later we had to stop playing games and eat dinner. Dinner was delicious. There was crispy potato fry and dhal with chips. We slept early because the next day we had to go to two National Parks. 
            On Friday we ate breakfast and left to Arches National Park. There was a huge line of cars trying to enter the park. Me and Nanna got bored so we jumped off the car and walked to the visitor center. It was worth jumping off the car and walking to visitor center instead of waiting in line. We got the things we needed at the visitor center such as the junior ranger books. Me and Nanna waited until Amma showed up.  Soon after Amma came with the car we left for the hiking spot. Afterwards we got to the trail and we hiked up to the Delicate Arch. The hike was very long and dangerous. There was a lot of wind at the arch and there were many slippery rocks to climb but, the hike was worth it. Soon we left the trail and started towards Canyonlands National Park. There we hiked up to the Whale Rock. At the top of the rock, Joshi Uncle wanted us to meditate. All the kids made funny noises to make other people laugh. After Joshi Uncle gave up we hiked back down to our car. We returned to the house and played Mario Kart until dinner time. Dinner was pasta. After we had pasta we went to bed.
        Everyone was pretty upset to go home the next day but we had to because we had school or work. In the morning me and my friends played on the hammock outside the house. Abhay and Kapish came in our car and we watched Tom & Jerry episodes and Despicable Me 2. Later Kapish’s family and Abhay’s family left to Los Angeles while our family stayed back in Las Vegas to watch the show Mystere. The show was spectacular. I liked the characters Einstein and the Red Man, they were both funny! The show also had acrobats, which seemed impossible to do. For example, one of the performers carried one man with only one hand. After the show, we left Las Vegas to home. Me and Nihitha slept while our parents drove. 
In conclusion, we had a pretty fun and exciting trip but next time I plan on staying longer.

My Winter 2018

For winter holidays we went to San Jose and Lake Tahoe. We had a lot of fun spending time with our family and friends.


We got started to San Jose and we had a lot of fun together in the car by playing games and me reading Diary of a wimpy kid. There was a lot of traffic at Los Angeles. After we passed Los Angeles there was less traffic and Amma and Nana were listening to me while I was reading Diary of a wimpy kid. Reading the book was funny and we laughed at the jokes in the book. Later we stopped at Bakersfield and we had lunch. After lunch we got back on the road and headed towards San Jose.


When we made it to San Jose we had a lot of fun with our family there. Then Kriti woke up. She was very happy to see me and we played for a long time. We were a little tired from our road trip, but we had fun when we got to San Jose.


On Sunday my older cousin came and we went to see Nana’s friend. We had lunch at Nana’s friend’s house and we played for some time with their kids and started back to Kriti’s house. On the way back we saw Apple’s headquarters and Apple park. We did not get to go inside because it was locked. When we got back to Kriti’s house my cousin and aunt were playing Catan and we joined in. Later Kriti woke up from her nap and I played with her. After that Amma went with all the girls to a mall and we left to play Football/soccer. When we came back we had dinner and played another round of Catan and went to sleep.

On Monday we had nothing to do so we went to the tech museum of Innovation.There we watched the movie space station and went back home and had onion fry. Later we went to Saravana Bhavan and we had food there. Then we went to go see lights and Kriti repeated what I said which was fun. We had a lot of fun today.


On Tuesday we were just playing and not going anywhere.The next day we are going to Lake Tahoe. We went shopping and got supplies for our trip. Also I was spending time with Kriti and we had a lot of fun. We all had a lot of fun today.


On Wednesday we left to Lake Tahoe for getting our gear. We said bye and left to RK uncle’s friend’s house for lunch. I showed Abbay and Kaushik my Nintendo switch and we played Mario Kart until lunch time. We got started late from their house and we went to Lake Tahoe. We got our gear and tickets for the next day. When we came to the house we played and slept. The other family's daughter Khushi was annoying at night. The next day we woke up early and left to Heavenly ski resort. It was a bad day to go skiing and it was very cold. Abbay was sad and got frostbite and I was very cold. They did their best to keep us warm and then we went skiing and we came back to the lodge. Then I went skiing with my dad. Later we were tired and enjoyed the rest of the day playing games at the house. Today was a bad day to go skiing, but we had fun.

On Thursday we got started back to Kriti’s house, because I wanted to see her again. Before we left we had snowball fights. We came to their house and played with them for a long time. We had gobi manchuria and then played. After we had dinner we raced on Nintendo Switch. The next day we went on a scenic route and had lunch at Half Moon Bay beach. Then we went back and started back to Los Angeles. We had drinks at Starbucks along the way and had dinner at Chipotle. Then at 10 we made it home.


We had a really fun and exciting trip, but next time we should ski somewhere else and stay with Kriti more.
