florida
i had so much fun in florida. we drove from liverpool, new york to raleigh, north carolina and stayed the night with my uncle. my uncle works at the raleigh airport so he drove us the next morning. me, dom, and joey caught our flight around 7:30 that morning. we arrived in tampa, florida which is about 30 minutes away from my dad's house. my dad picked us up. i was soo excited to see him. we were all really tired so as soon as we got back to the house, me and dominick fell asleep. joey had only gotten 30 minutes of sleep and my dad wanted him to go to work with him that morning. anyways. in florida, i met my dad's girlfriend (amy) and her parents, nancy and richard. they are the nicest people i've ever met. we went to busch gardens, the florida aquarium, out on the gulf of mexico, we saw dolphins and manatees, we went to shell island and stepped on stingrays, we found over 200 sand dollars. i can't wait to come back next summer.
