FLORIDA!!!!!

Howdy everyone! I am lounging around in FLORIDA right now! Let me give you a not-so-quick synopsis of how our trip has been so far.

Alrighty. So on the 19th, we were going to head off to Florida. Driving. But instead, my parents surprised us by saying, "Instead of driving all of that way to Florida, we are going to go to another hotel in Detroit, and at 3 the next morning, we are going to drive to the airport, and FLY!" It was so cool. We freaked out.

 After we reached Tampa at 9:00 the next day, we rented a car and drove to Plant City. (better known as "strawberry place") We had ice cream for breakfast! Then we drove an hour to our hotel in Orlando. We did normal stuff, like swim, and swim, and swim, and then, my dad asked if we wanted to go to the amusement park across the street from our hotel! We said yes, and we spent the rest of the night riding rides and running back and forth. It was a lot of fun.

The next day was just normal. A relaxing day, filled with swimming, swimming, swimming, and Downtown Disney at the end of the day.

The 22nd, was very fun. We swam, (of course) and we went to Downtown Disney at the end of the day and I bought a SWEET hat. It is a baseball cap and it's orange and says "property of walt disney world." I love it. 

Yesterday, we swam a lot. Because we went to Typhoon Lagoon! I had tons of fun. When we got there, the biggest ride, Crush and Gusher, was closed. But it opened later at the end of the day, and we got to go on it. It was a lot of fun because it shot you upwards up a tube, then down, then up. Really cool. We hit the Shark Reef like 8 times. The Shark Reef is where you swim with sharks. You put

 on a snorkel and mask and hit the reef! It's saltwater and VERY cold. But you get used to it. We went on Humunga Cowabunga a lot. That was super fun too. It is just like Summit Plummit at Blizzard Beach, but like half the size and there are three of them. The wave pool was a big hit with us. 6 foot waves baby! They litterally sweep you off your feet. You knock over tons of people on your way to shore. Very fun. I bodysurfed like once. It was cool.

After we left Typhoon Lagoon, we changed into clothes and went to CityWalk. CityWalk is Universal Studios' Downtown Disney, except it is way bigger and much like a city. We had fun walking around there. I saw so many people with Harry Potter stuff. I was so jealous. Soph and I spotted the Hogwarts Castle. SO COOL! I want to go so bad.

Anyway, that is the not-so-quick synopsis of how our week has been, and it's gonna get better because tomorrow we head off to Epcot for the day. I'll be sure to post!

Peace, Love, and Purple!
