Hey all...I'm REALLLY sorry I haven't updated in almost a month..I admit I wasn't really up to updating for a bit until I realized I hadn't updated until before we left for Florida, LOL!! Anyway, here is a brief summary about my vacation.

The first day (Saturday, July 29, 2004) we were in Florida, we went to Chef Mickey's for dinner, (Mom's birthday as well.) and Amanda forgot to take her "lactose intolerant" pill, and she got really sick after we ate...oops!! My dad ate wayyy too much, and he also got sick, LOL!!! But they were both fine a bit later, and we took lots of pictures, and I took movies of everyone in our villa pool.

The second day, we went to MGM Studios and Amanda, David and I all went on Star Tours, the Backlot Tour, Muppetvision 4D, and Who Wants to Be a Millionare Play it! We spent until lunch at MGM, and then headed back and went swimming, and then we went to Magic Kingdom for the evening. I went on Space Mountain, Spalsh Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, Buzz Lightyear, and the Haunted Mansion!! Was a lot of fun, and a long, fun day!!

The third day, we all went to Sea World, and I went on Kraken twice...the 2nd time I went on Kraken, I had front row!! Was REALLLY fun!! We watched some Sealion shows and a killer whale show, and had lunch at the park...was a REALLLY long line for the lunch line, but that's all right. We stayed until later on in the afternoon, and before we left Sea World, all of us went gift shopping, and I got myself a mini manatee waterglobe, and I got Sam a Seaworld dolphin t-shirt!! We then headed back to the villa to relax for the day. Can't remember what else we did this day...I think we spent the rest of the time at the villa in the pool and relaxing.

The fourth day, we went to my mom's friend's house for the day, and I caught lizards at her house, which is also a villa!! Amanda, Mom and I all went to get manicures and pedicures done, and O'll never have that done again, LOL!! I'm SOOO ticklish it's not funny, LOL!! We spent the rest of the day at Jackie's (Mom's friend), and we left really late at night to come back to our villa, and I went right to bed, LOL!!

The fifth day, we all went on an airboat ride at Boggy Creek's airboats, and before we got on the airboat, I got to hold an alligator!! How cool is that?!? Amanda and David also got to hold the alligator too...my parents were toooo chicken to, LOL!! Finally, we got on the airboat, and the tour guide person took us through TALLL grasses, and we saw wild alligators, and one even hissed at us...scary!! LOL!! Then for lunch, we all went to the Disney World camp ground and ate at this buffet place called Trail's End Buffet, and I had fried chicken, cornbread, and a dessert...wasn't THAT great, but hey...it filled me up!! We went to the petting zoo after that which is right in the campground, and we fed them some fruit, and then went to see the horses in their stalls. They were SOOO cool and SOOOO pretty!! Anyway, we headed back to the villa, went swimming, and then went to bed for the night!!

The sixth day, Amanda and I were dropped off at this place called "Discovery Cove" which is owned by Sea World. Anyway, Amanda and I got to swim with sting ray, Tropical fish, and then a clear water area with waterfalls that has no animals in the water...it was comfortable temperature water too! There was a NASTY thunderstorm that hit the park, and we had to wait it out, and finally, the time came to go swimming with the dolphins!! It was SOOO much fun!! We got to kiss a dolphin, swim with the dolphin, and have the dolphin do tricks for us!! Was a lot of fun!! That time was finally done, and Amanda and I ordered some pictures from the dolphin experience, picked them up, and then Mom and Dad picked us up and brought us back to our villa. But before Amanda and I left, we went gift shopping, and I got myself a HUGGGE stuffed dolphin, and I got Sam a little stuffed dolphin!! Man, I was EXHAUSTED for the rest of the day!! Spent the rest of the day at the villa, and went to bed..whew...what a long day!!

The seventh day, Dad, David and I all went back to Sea World for a bit, and I went on Kraken for the third time since we went to Sea World the first time, LOL!! We went to a dolphin show which was REALLY cool and REALLY cute, and then we went to a show called Pets Ahoy, which had household pets performing cool tricks. We had lunch at (Olive Garden??) and we had REALLLY bad service...hey...that's okay...not the end of the world. Looked in some gift shops, and then went back to the villa and swam a bit, and had to get to bed early for the next day.

The eighth day, Amanda and I were dropped off at Busch Gardens, and I headed to Montu (a roller coaster where your feet dangle and you hang from a track) and I went on front row on that, and it started POURING as I was on it, so my face was pelted by rain the whole time, and it HURT!! But I still had fun. After the ride was over, Amanda and I headed somewhere to keep dry, and waited out the downpour, and then headed to the Cheetah Chase wild mouse roller coaster, and Amanda and I both went on that, and then went on the river rapids ride, which made my socks and shoes DRENCHED for the rest of the day, LOL, but that's okay!! I also went on Kumba, and Amanda and I went on Scorpian, which has a single loop, and it's kinda scary though fun, hehe!! I went back on Montu, and sometime during the day we had lunch, yum!! Amanda and I also went gift shopping, and I got myself a stuffed animal tiger, and got Sam a stuffed giraffe!! Mom and Dad picked us up later on during the day, and we went out to eat, and headed to the villa again!! Whew...what a long day!

The ninth day: We went to Typhoon Lagoon for the morning, and I went on a few waterslides and the wavepool...but I got out since the waves were pulling down my bathing suit and making my boobs pop out, LOL!!! Oopsie!! My face was reallly bothering me from sunburn, so we ended up leaving early to head back to the villa for lunch, and then we all went for a ride to look at different shops and different places. We went to see Piano Bob at this typical hotel we stay at, and we had a good time there!! We then headed back to the villa for the night and for a swim!!

The tenth day: (Head home day) All of us went to this place called "Old Town" where it has these old fashion type rides (old roller coaster, tilt-a-whirl, scrambler, etc.) and David, Amanda and I all went on all these whacky rides, and I almost got sick!! LOL!! We then headed to the airport, had lunch and waited for our plane to arrive. FINALLY it arrived, and we headed home!! We got home around 10:30 PM!! WOW...what a long day and vacation!! ALSO, I forgot to add in, all of us went to Downtown Disney one day, and I got Sam and I 2 rings with his and my initals on it with a heart in the middle of our initals...so pretty!!! I also got a few more waterglobes when in Florida, and now I have over 25 waterglobes, w00t!!!
