Well Well Well.
I am back from Florida. And i bet most of you didn't even know i was gone.
I miss it there. Not so much the vacation but just being in Florida. With the Palm Trees.
So I guess Ill inform the interested on what went on.
(Later ill post pictures or post the website of the pictures.. theres ALOT.)
Last Friday 8/12.
We left the house at about 5am. I forgot my license at home so half way to the airport we had to turn back. Dad was pissssssed. Nice start to my vacation. We arrived in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. We couldnt find my Uncles house in Coral Gables (suburb of Miami) because we didnt realize that the street signs were not on poles but rather engraved on rocks on the ground. So it took us awhile to figure that out.
The first day in Miami i gashed my finger open on my razor and it took over an hour for it to stop bleeding. it hurt like a bitch. it was gross.
My Uncle just got married this past year to a woman named Kristin. She's probably the sweetest woman i now know. She took us to see the Biltmore Hotel in Miami.Its so nice in there. When Uncle Ray got home we went to an outdoor shopping center and then to walk around the beach for a bit and then this cute restaurant called the Rusty Pelican. We stayed overnight at Uncle Ray's and Kristins.
Saturday 8/13.
Got up at 8am. It was pouring and bad thunderstorms that morning. Once it stopped we all went on the Duck Tours (me, mom, dad, andrew, julie, uncle ray, kristin). It was so much more incredible than the ones in Boston (so im told. ive never been on the ones in boston but julie and my brother have). The Miami duck tours were rated best duck tour in the world. I saw a lot of famous peoples houses. Shaq's house is prettycool. and Rosie Odonnels house. And the Hotel where they filmed "Theres Something About Mary". We went shopping again on Ocean Drive. Saw "Wet Willies" like in the ludacris song "Especially if Wet Willies on Miami Beach". yeah i saw that. Had lunch at an outdoor cafe thing. Went to this cool place called Parrot Jungle. They have duh, parrots and monkeys and shows it was pretty interesing.. BUT SO DAMN HOT. Went to Bubba Gumps for Dinner. Shopping in an outdoor plaza. Kristin highlighted my hair. Stayed over there for the last night.
Sunday 8/14
Woke up at 6am. Left Uncle Ray and Kristins. Drove 4 hours to Titusville where my grandparents live. I slept most of the way. We went swimming in their pool. Me and Julie were forced into spending time with my stupid cousin who like made us watch the entire performance of one of the plays at her school that she WASNT EVEN IN. she did the background. ohmygawd. all 3 hours of it. Grandpa got us Hotel Reservation at the Best Western in Orlando. Drove an hour down there and me and julie just walked around there.
"Uhh you might want to put some mashed potatoes on that..." hahahahah julie.
Monday 8/15
We went to Universal that day. It was a nice day. HOT. VERY HOT. let me tell you that for the time we were down there, the temperature was always in the high 90's and the heat index was 113 DEGREES!!!! yeah thats pretty damn hot.
I saw this kid who i think was the kid from made. where he wanted to be a ladies man. he always wore the aviator sunglasses, kinda chubby. you know who im talking about? anyway, i went on the Mummy Returns, Twister, Earthquake, Men in Black, Back to the Future, Jimmy Neutron, Shrek 4-D, and thats about all i can remember.
Tuesday 8/16
We left Best Western at 7:30am. We checked into the All Star Movie Resort in Disney World. We went to Animal Kingdon that day. It was hot as usual..we only stayed there till about 3 since there isnt much to do there. WE went on the raft ride, the safari, the dinosaur ride and the bugs life 3-D. we just went back to All Star Hotel. Me and Julie went swimming. saw the hottest lifegaurd ever. went to Dennys for dinner since my dad is weirdly obsessed with that restaurant and they're only in the south (well there are none around here). and then me and julie ended teh night by watching the teen choice awards in which i was disgusted that Paris Hilton actually won an award for her role in that scary movie she is in. She beat out The Grudge, Saw, Ring Two. Man oh Man. Oh yeah me and Julie had our own room too. It connected to my parents room but there were doors there and everything.
Wednesday 8/17
MGM. went on the Rockin Roller Coaster, Muppets 3-D, and Star Tours and that was like basically it. Me and Dad brought julie to the airport around 1 while mom and andrew finished up at MGM. Me and Dad then met Mom and Andrew at Magic Kingdom. Surprisingly i saw the largest number of hott guys in Magic Kingdom which i thought was weird cause Magic Kingdom is the park for little kids. we saw fireworks and went on the rides. i love Stitchs great escape. And they have this thing certain days where if ur staying at a hotel inside the park, its open till midnight instead of 9. You get an "extra magic hours" bracelet to wear.
It rained alot that night too.
Thursday 8/18
Islands of Adventure. I went on Dueling Dragons! *GASP!* ur feet dangle on that roller coaster. i was scared tho cause they kept shutting that roller coaster down. and i went on the Hulk 3 times! it was by far the best ride. it shoots u out too it was scary. i broke my sunglasses that day too and it was really sunny. We again went to Dennys for dinner.
Friday 8/19
got 1/2 way down to Universal for the second day and my eye hurt extremely bad and we had to go back. The Hotel didnt have a nurse so we had to go to another place and they sent me to a small hospital in kissimee. i waited for 6 hours. i couldnt see anything since i took my contacts out. they told me i have a severe virus ON MY EYE. i have to take these eye drops that sting 5 times a day and i cant wear my contacts for 2 weeks. but im wearing one cause i dont have glasses. so i can see but its just kind of blurry. I bought myself a stuffed animal Stitch from the Hotel Gift Shop to make my feel better. i love him. <3
Saturday 8/20
Granparents came down to the Hotel. Dad and Grandpa dropped off rental car. Granparents came with us to City Walk in Universal. WEnt back to the Hotel and Me and Dad were bored. So me and dad went to Epcot while mom and andrew stayed at the Hotel. IT POURED AND THUNDERED AND LIGHTNINGED (hah i made a new word!) omg it was bad. we went on spaceship earth twice to avoid the rain. i got to eat at teh restaurant i like. i finally got to go on Mission Space which is SO COOL. and we did MaelStrom in Norway and El Rio something in Mexico. oh and Soarin which was cool.
Saw cool fireworks.
Today 8/21
Woke up at 3:30am. yes i said it. 3:30am. got the cutest wake up call. its Stitch yelling "GOOD MORNING! HEHEHEEH" and then u hear mickey "sorry about that! ever since stitch escaped in the magic kingdom there been a lot of excitement over here! have a magical day!" aww.. our flight was at 6:55am. they kept switching the gate on us too! every 20 minutes theyd be like "flight to providence, ur new terminal is.. #120" and they kept going back and forth we moved between 2 terminals 4 times. ugh. but we got back here. and i have to eat something and go get my work schedule. :o/
