Oh the trip to florida

Wow, what an experience. We took the rout through Kentucky, Tennesee, Georgia, and in to florida. There were two cities that we passed through that stuck out in my mind the most. The first one was Cinci. That city has alot of old archetectur and is located on a river. Looks a little gloomy but had a good vibe. The second, would be Atlanta...This city is a metropolis. Ive been to NYC, Detroit, Philadelphia, columbus, Indianapolis, but Atlanta, man o man, this place just explodes with energy. I would never want to move there but to visit would be awesome.

On to the actual vacation. The first day we got there we slept most of it due to ariving at 6 am. But sunday we went to Gaylord Psalms. This place made you feel rich just walking into it. I couldnt even begin to tell you all the little intrecacies that they have there. My grandparents paid $38 dollars a plate for this emaculant buffet. There were all kinds of food here, I mean my aunt went and had them make her noodles with alfredo sauce right on the spot!! Plus at the dessert bar there was a fondu fountain that was fun. :D After filling out bellies, we then proceeded over to an ice show. As we waited in line my family started the game "what, You got the word." Other families around us found all this quite amusing and entertaining. Even my 6 yr old cousin Aurora got in on the fun and in turn helped us get our uncle Danny. There were all sorts of stuff that was made out of ice. clear ice, colored ice, you name it they had it. The had an enormous manger scene carved out of ice it was beautiful. Then we walked through a little tunnel and came to a room with 3 Ice slides. The entire structure was of ice and the slides were extremely fun. Watching your parents, aunts and uncles slide down is quite amusing. After this we proceeded out of the show.
Day 2:
My aunts female cousins and I all went shopping. Nothing too fun but it was nice to be back in a mall that had more than 30 shops in it. I believe after shopping we went a pizza place called ci ci's. The pizza was about average but it was fun to have another buffet.
Day 3:
we went to Busch Gardens. I had alot of fun even though I didnt really get to go on any of the rides I would have liked to but I did make sure that my little sister was able to have a good time and go on the rides she would have liked to.We went to one of the fancy Scmancy resturaunts in the park where they served a course of foods and you ate what you could stuff in your stomache. The Kids had a sugar eatting contest which was interesting to watch as they poured packet after packet of sugar into their mouthes. Lets just said when they got to the pink packets, if you will, they made extreme faces and most of them gave up. We went to a 4D movie. That was an awesome experience. Vibrating seats, water spashing in your face, air blowing in your hair and face, things popping outta the screen at you...tonz o fun. And the Day ended with some fireworks.
Day 4:
I believe this day we went to breakfast at yet another buffetcalled Buddy Freddys. All of us grand kids sat at a table while the adults did their mingleing. So, we decided to have a coffee drinking contest. Needless to say the parents had no clue that this was happening. :D The resturaunt had enormous paintings in it of various places in florida. My little cousin Aurora introduced us to her imaginary sister Jenna and taught us how to share with her. My uncle Dan showed me how to make the best waffle's ever. All it takes is your Waffle, Chocolate syrup, and a little bit of the soft serve ice creme of your choice. Mighty good eattins. After breakfast we all trucked on over to my grandparents development (for old peeps) Where we played tennis, schuffle board, then took a nice long dip in the pool. Amazingly I did not burn but I tanned. I know for those of you who know me I am as shocked as you are. While in the pool we played an extreme form of monkey in the middle. This was so entertaining to the people around us that older people would come down to the pool to watch us. Not to sure why but it was funny. All of us took turns playing mermaid where we would parade Aurora around on her sea horse sparkle, dungeon keeper where we tried to keep her in our dungeon and fell asleep as she fleas the dungeon, or we played the announcer for the fancy jumping contest, where she would play all three contestants and would jump a different way into the pool every time. And you can guess who the winner was. Yup. Aurora. After swimming we traveled on to our Aunt Aggie's house for a scmorgus board of food for dinner. This lady can cook. I remember as little kids we would go to her house in New Jersey and she had Coca cola stuff EVERYWHERE. After dinner we played Guesstures which was awesome to play with the whole family and The females won (ofcourse because I was on the team) after a grouling battle.
Day 5:
DISNEY WORLD DISNEY WORLD. Who would have thunk that Disney world would have been so freakin awesome. Splash mountain is the best ride there by far. We went to a couple shows. The best part was after the last show we hooked up with my dad, uncle Dan and the boys (it was just us girl cousins walkin around at first) took the train where we waited in line...There was an asian family behind us that kept trying to push infront of us...so, as we exited the gate to get on the train my uncle dan father and brother nathan walked as slow as they could pissing the family off behind us. As soon as we all loaded up, (our first stop was to get funnel cakes) uncle Dan lead us in a chant of Funnel Cake. All of the foreign familys actually took pictures of us and filmed us. It was quite amusing. Then I made a comment about how they were probably thinking "those crazy americans" and after I finished the sentence my Uncle Danny said in a loud voice something to the effect of this,**note this is spelled with the accent** "You carazy ameracans, wonta you shata upa" and the family and I died laughing as they all stared in bewilderment. Some took offense even. haha it was great. Then at one of the train stops there was an older gentleman sitting near the station and my uncle then proceeded to say, "hey Gramps" "Gramps" (waving hand frantically) "How ya doing Grandpa"...I about died laughing...then we broke out into another chant of funnel cakes. We exited the train and walked over to the funnel cake vendor and we then began to chant again. After that was all said and done we traveled over to "Adventureland" and Hopped in line for the Pirates of The Carrabian ride. Where we some how cut in line without getting in trouble. SOmeone around us in line (most likely uncle dan) had bad gas. My buddy had wandered off in the distance to peer through a crack in a door and my uncle Dan screamed out " BUDDYYYYY THAT IS JUST DISGUSTING" And the rest of us started to smell it and blamed it on buddy. Poor kid his face was beet red. Then the kid infront of us covered his nose with his shirt. The animated pirates in this ride were amazing. You would look up and there was a black and grey sky...the entire way through the characters were talking and in the background you heard, "yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me." The funny thing is the entire time I was on this ride I was thinking, "Dude autumn should be here with me" I had asked to get her something but My dad had already bought $40 worth of hats for him and my ill grandfather. To make a long day short we then went to the best fireworks display I had ever seen above the castle went on space mountain and left the park.
Day 6:
SOme of the cousins and I went to the beach and took my brother Alex in the ocean for the first time since he was a little toddler. After about 45 minutes of hopping over waves and trying to body surf he finally got bit by something in the water and proceeded to scream like a girl, "something bit me you guys, OH MY WORD ITS FOLLOWING ME. Its biting me" the rest of us laughed and followed him out of the water because by now it was sunset and we had to go visit my ill grandfather in the hospital. Which is another entry in and of itself.
Day 7:
New years eve. We traveled home and just before midnight we stopped at a hotel for sleep and to see the ball drop. Only to wake up in 2006 and travel back to shitty ohio.
