Two weeks ago, my family went to a family reunion for my mom's side of the family.It was nice to catch up with everyone, and have a good time too. To get there, we started traveling at 10:00 pm, so we could get there earlier ( we went to South Carolina ), since it was going to be a long trip.
The next day, we went to our hotel, settled in, and went for a swim in the pool ( my dad was sleeping at the time, since he was driving all through the night ). We also visited my mom's cousin's house.
The following day, we went to a store that sold pie, cider, candy, and other stuff, and visited the beach.We went to my great-grandpa's house, had some food, watched TV, and played outside.
On the third day the whole family went to Hibachi, which is a chinese buffet, and a park near the Savannah River called Savannah Rapids Park. All of these places were in Augusta, Georgia.
For the final day, the family met at a place called The American Legion Hut. We had a talent show, and a hat contest.
On Sunday, everyone went home, but we went to church, and to the house of some friends of ours, who lived in South Carolina. The day after that, we left. I had a great time at the reunion.
When I grow up, I want to be in the U.S. Army.I want to serve my country, and protect its people. I also want to get stronger, so I can help my comrades during war. I want to earn high-ranking badges and medals. I also think that the uniforms look nice. But most of all, I just want to be a hero.
