User blog:Wh!te$tar/Home Sweet Home (aka, I'm back from Florida! :D )

Yes, I'm back from Orlando, and I can honestly say IT WAS SO AWESOME HGHCTCYYTHTF!!!111!!! I loved it!

So, first the plane ride. I can honestly say...I was freaked out the entire time. XD Seeing everything shrinking, and having gravity pulling you down, it's just so weird. And then when you reach cruising altitude, even the clouds are like pieces of cotton. Thankfully it was only about an hour from Knoxville to Orlando. ^^; But I was less scared on the trip back than the trip there. It was still cool seeing all the clouds, so I might paint that. ^^

Then the next day we went to Disney World. And I can say, they're dead serious when they say "happiest Place on Earth". :lol: Seriously, all the employees were smiling, everything was cheery and bright, and there was even a show under the Castle. I knew when I saw it I wanted to draw Main Street. After that we ate in a restaraunt where Pooh and Tiger and their friends were taking pictures with the guests, and I got a few pics with 'em. :D Then we walked around and saw Aladdin and Jasmine, and went on the Pirates on the Carribean ride (which also freaked me out at first. :lol: ) We walked around more after that and went to a place that offered "Disney Membership Programs". It was cool knoeing we could save so much on future vacations, but the whole thing took 3 hours!! By that time, it started to rain ( Florida may be the sunshine state, but it rained ever day the first three days there. XD ) Then we saw Tomorrowland, Fantasyland. I wanted to get a pic with Punzie and Flynn, but they closed at 5. ( Damn long presentation. T^T ) By that time it was pretty late, so we rode back on a Ferry. :D

The next day we mostly stayed at our Hotel, but we went to a Lobster Buffet for dinner. I had about 3 lobsters and cake. XD But the next day we went to Kennedy Space Center. It was cool seeing all the rockets, and I even got a cool shot of the Rocket Garden I'd like to paint too. ^^ We also saw the Space Shuttle and got to see inside. Then I went with my dad on a Rocket Simulator (which freaked me out. I'm not a very brave person!!! ). Oh yeah, there was an IMAX theater too and we watched Transformers 3 in 3D. :dance:

After the Space Center, we decided to go to the beach real quick, and I saw the Ocean for the first time since I was a kid. The waves were huge, and I let then crash behind me (Part of Your Wooooorld!) and swam alot even though the current kept sweeping me away. XD

On the last day, we went to SeaWorld! :D We got to see Shamu and several other whales performing, and it was so cool! Shamu even used his tail and splashed water at the audience. I swear, some of the splashed hit the top bleachers! XD I bet that'd make a great painting too.Then we saw the sharks, and I got to feed a few (with awful fish that made my hands stink). There was also a Clam Dsiving place where you could get real pearls! My dad got a white one, but I got two Blue Pearls in a row! I felt so lucky. ^^ We also saw Aligators and Polar Bears, and alot of other animals. ^^

And to finish it off, we ate at a Midevle Diner where they jousted as we ate. And it wasn't fake! You could tell it was real metal sheilds and swords, and a few times sparks flew when they fought. The horses were really well trained, and it was great seeing the riders and fighting. I also got a neat Dragon sculpture there. ^^

Now...when do we go back? XD
