this has been ne of those weeks that i will never allow to fade from my memories. Daniel and I left Charleston early WED morning. (I just wan to say that Daniel's family is the BEST. His cousin Teri was the best host and his brother was very welcoming.) We traveled to his brother's house in Walterboro and then stopped to get a quick breakfast at Mcdonalds. Then it was a straight shot to FLorida. When we got to Florida i found myself staying in a beautiful colonial house. We stayed in a huge room with a private bathroom. It was beter that staying in a hotel! Before i met Teri, i had pictured a regular woman who would probably just fiddle around and not do much. Well, Teri is the most awesome 49 year old woman i have ever met. She own a 68 Mustang, two motercycles, and a Jaguar. She is down to earth and hilarious. She is very welcoming and honest, i did not see any flaws in her personality and she was the best host i could have ever imagined. The biggest thing that i remember is when she told me she rides her motercycle with her chiwawas. The dogs have little goggles and a small carier that Teri wears over her chest. It is the cutest thing ever. The two dogs, Sam and Dililah, were extremely cute. They had a little doggy tent that they would climb in and wrestle each other...you just have to see it. To keep my thought organized i am going to go by each day...hang in there:
Thursday: we started the day off by going to the local mall to shop for some gifts for people. The mall was like any regular mall but it was cool because it was in Florida. After the mall we made our way to the the central Florida fair. Cotton candy. WARNING: fair games are rigged. Daniel and i got suckered into spending almost $80 on games (i got suckered the most). We were tricked by the game where you bounce the ball of the back of a board into a basket and the game where you pop the balloons with a dart. But we both won an animal. Afterthe fair we went back to the mall to meet up with morgan. This girl is extremely nice and just all around cool! After the mall Daniel and I stopped by Michelle's house to get our Disney passes and then went to dinner at the Orlando ALe House. I ordered the chicken nachos appetizer, it was so big i could only eat about a fourth. We went back home and watched the first sister act and went to bed.
Friday: This was the big day, the only day, the day that will go down in history, the day Daniel and I attempt to go to Animal Kingdom, MGM studios, Magic Kingdom, and Epcot in one day! Thats right, we went to all four parks in one day. It is too much to describe everything but i will state some highlights. In Animal kingdom we went on a Safari, got sprayed by a stink bug (in the Bigs life 3D movie), and Daniel became good friends with a goat and Pocahontis (ask him?). In MGM we experienced the tower of terror, the rock-n-roll rollercoaster, Star wars, and a wonderful parade of all of our favorive disney characters (YAY Pluto!!!). We got to ride the monorail from epcot to magic kingdom and back--way cool. In magic kingdom we did some shopping and i wached daniel play around on the carosel...you see the pic. After the magic kingdom we went to epcot to try to get as much in as possible. We ate really good food in china and walked around "the world". The fireworks display was out of this world. Then the night was over and i had three blisters to prove it.
Saturday: On the way to florida and on the way back we passed a lot of motorcycles. I then learned that it was bike week in daytona. how cool is it to be in Florida during bike week!!! Saturday we made our was to clearwater beach, althought the water is not clear :( It was supposed to be a 2 hour drive but becasue of the insane traffic it took us 4 hours, but it was well worth it. Clearwater has a cool beach atmosphere like i ahve bever experienced. I got wrapped up in the experience and almost got my eyebrow pierced...good thing i regained my mental abilities to talk myself out of that idea. If i had been drinking i would have a hole in my head :) After the beach we went back to Teri's and settled down for the night.
Spring Break started witha crazy shakespeare midterm. then i got fired from my job at waffle house but it ended witha great trip to florida and memories to overshadow the negative. God is wonderful and i owe everything in his AWESOME name!!
Congrats JOSH!!!!!
