We started taking bus trips when I was about seven years old. Back then，we lived at our grandparents' house in Oceanside，California. 11 was not enough because my father had retired from the Air Force and had not yet found a steady job. Also，we were having trouble finding a place we could afford for our family.
I thought it would have been easy to feel 12 about our situation. But my mum had other ideas. She used that time to give my brother Jess and me happy memories that 13 our way of seeing things forever. However，I only understood how 14 she was many years later.
At that time，once or twice a week，my mum would take Jess and me up the hill from our grandparents' house to the 15 bus stop. From there，we would go on trips to "see the world". The bus system around our area offered better service than 16. With very little money，you could buy a ticket that let you ride all the buses you wanted for the whole day. 17 my mum learned how the system worked，she took us to many interesting places.
One of our favourite places was the mall in Carlsbad. At the 18 of the mall，where all the main attractions were，stood a large glass clock tower. Inside it were parts that rolled rubber balls down tracks. The balls hit drums with a loud sound，rolled down slopes，and were carried back up by little elevators to start all over again. People，mostly 19，often stood around to watch it，with small hands pressing eagerly against the glass for a closer look.
We would walk around the mall and nearby neighbourhoods，20 store windows without buying anything. Our goal was just to enjoy the views and watch people.
On other trips，we would ride the bus all the way to Strand Beach. There，we 21 shells and beautiful stones as souvenirs. We watched ships sailing by，and we heard airplanes flying over us，going to the navy base at Camp Pendleton.
Every trip felt like a wonderful 22. I was thankful to my mum for turning that hard time into something 23. Later，my father got a stable job at the DMV，and we found a nice home in the countryside.
My mum did more than just help Jess and me 24 our problems. She taught us to stay curious and enjoy the beauty of the world around us，even without spending money. She also showed us that no matter where we were or what troubles we faced，there was always something that could make us 25.
