Post #10

So, this is my last post but I really want to write about how I feel about blogging. In the end I kind of like to blog. It is a lot of writing but it good to practice to write. I think this can help in the future. This has defiantly helped me in the world of computers. I just worry if someone is reading this and that they might think of it. Or how I might be graded on for it. Anyway's I'm glad its over with.

So, when it came to starting to blog, I really didn't want to. I thought why do we have to write 7 to 10 paragraphs if no body else is going to read it but you. I also, thought threw this entire process what am I supposed to write about. There is only so many things that I can write 7 paragraphs about and how am I supposed to keep the readers (if there are any) interested. But then As I wrote I felt like if I really liked that topic then i can keep writing and writing with no worry of running out of things to write down. 7 paragraphs don't scare me any more because now I know I can write that many in so many weeks. In the end I really don't mind blogging as much.

So with the length being 7 to 10 paragraphs I didn't really like it but it can help you in further life. Like lets say that my boss want me to write a speech for him/her to say and it has to take up a certain amount of time. I would be able to do that and not be late on other things needed to be turned in because I can write fast and with quality because of blogging. I can also, help in case of school work. I wont have to do all of the complaining when my teacher says we need to write a essay. Blogging will really help me in the future.

This has also, helped me on the computer sense I'm not that good when it comes to computers. Let me just say that when I was a little kid in Elementary I was horrible with using computers. I would always freak out if my computer was loading as fast as the other person beside me. This experience has also, helped me with typing fast from when I first came into this class. So, you could say that I have furthered in my electronic life. Can't wait for what comes next in the computer world.

The one thing that I worry about is what if people read it, are they going to like it. I always hate to have any bad review on anything I do. I would love it if people said that I did good. Or that they didn't loose interest in it. I'm not entirely sure if that would happen because some of these I couldn't keep stay interested in enough to type up. So, that's when I hope that nobody reads it and I'm safe from people criticizing it.

I'm really afraid on what I'm going to be graded for all of my blogs. I know they are at least good enough to not get a 6 or 5 at least I think. I did put my heart in these so I think you can enjoy some of these. All i know is that anything I get for my grade will be what my writing deserves. I hope that I also, followed all the rules that you gave to me. I cant wait to see what I'm graded for all 10 of my blogs.

Blogging has really helped me in my future. It has also, helped me to further my experience with computers. I now know why I had to write so many paragraphs, it was so I could tell you all of the details. I really hope that I will be able to have a good grade for all of these blogs. Now I really like to blog to be honest. I helps me to write anything I want. I can't believe this is my last blog.Bye!

So sense I'm a girl I bet you don't expect me to like sports or things that are to do with any type of vehicle, well that's wrong. I love to play basketball and watch it. I also, like to watch races, most of the time its dirt races. I also, like to watch volleyball but I'm the best at it my self. Motorcycles are really cool, with the looks and all. Then I like the things that can be solid at my dad's work, I think there call a 4-Wheeler or something like that. But I'm not the girly type of girl everyone may think I am.

I like to play basketball and watch it for many reasons. I like to play because it makes me feel active. I like to steal the ball from the other team and have them get frustrated, it makes my day some times. I like to watch basketball because you can always get into the game. When ever I also, watch a game I like to see what they did wrong so I can fix it my  self when I play. I love to watch the college games because s they make the shots from half court and always make it no matter what. Basketball is fun in general to play with some friends or watch with friends, I hope you enjoy the game as much as I do. 

I like to watch race cars race because its cool expectantly when you go to a dirt track. Even thought you may need to cover your ears when the cars go running by you, but it can make you feel alive. I like to see it when my Aunt also, sings the anthem and everyone clams because you know she worked hard to make just perfect. I also, like going to the races because when I go with my grandpa we bet on who will be first, second, or third. Most of the time my cars I choose always break down close to the end. Its still a great time eating American food and having a good time with your family.

Volleyball is great to watch just don't put me in a league. I like to watch it because there is no flaws in what they do. The ball never drops to the floor until a good spike comes there way. I did play volleyball this year. I wasn't the best by a really long shot. By the beginning of the season I couldn't even pass to a person 5 feet away. I can't wait to see how the high school girls do next season.  

I like motorcycles that go on the road and the ones that ride on dirt. I like to see the motor cycles that live on the road because they can have the coolest looks in the world. Like my dads whose is red and looks pretty slick. I love to ride on dirt bikes. There freeing when you moving really fast and jump in the air. The one good thing about ride dirt bikes is we don't have to pay for them. We don't have to own one because my dad's work has a BBQ every year with dirt bikes at the wait. I love these rides because there super fast and look really cool. 

4- wheeler's are cool because you can ride them off of the road on trails in the mountains. I got to ride on these with my grandpa in his back yard. I like that you can have two people ride it at the same time. They don't go really fast but I think its faster than hiking. When there is a 4 wheel drive most of the time I like to drive with the 4-wheeler's so I don't feel like I'm going to fall off the road when its really steep. I would love to get one of these for when we go up to the mountains to visit family.

 So, now you know a side that you probably don't know I had. I like to play and watch basketball. Watching races with my family is nice. Volleyball is cool to watch it, but I fail at it dramatically. Motorcycles are really fun when ever I can ride them, but there looks are always cool. I also, don't mind getting out doorish with 4 wheeler's. Can't wait till I can do one of theses activities.

The Beach!

 One of the things that I favor is the beach. Of course I've only ever see the beach once when I went to the Florida. I love to ride with the waves on the boogey boards or just sit on the beach with a umbrella over my head. Eating with the sight of the beach can brighten your day!  Plus getting tan in the sun isn't a bad way to come back to Colorado. Have you been to the beach?

So, one big thing that I love when I went to the beach was that I could call my self a "beach bum" when sitting under a umbrella. I experienced this when I went to the beach for my second time. It was beautiful because you could drive up to the beach rent some long chairs and a umbrella. We had packed lunch in a cooler, and brought the towels from our last time at the beach. I was nice the it on the beach with the sound of the beaches waves and jelly fish washing on the shore. Then, you could get tan with the suns rays. This is what I want to do when I go back to Florida in the summer.

There's some really fun things that you can do when you go to the beach. You can boogey board, and ride the waves all the way to the shore. It does take some work to trust foam to hold you up but when you get the hang of it, its really cool. You just have to watch out that the waves don't crash over you and take your sunglasses. I also, liked to jump with the waves which doesn't sound as fun as when you try it. When the wave comes you jump up to catch the wave and then you move with it. I think it takes a lot of core work if your trying to stand up when the waves are crashing. All I can say is go with the flow when you having fun in the ocean or it's a little hard to work against the waves.

I only got one meal in front of the beach but it was unforgettable. We went to a place that wouldn't have been expected to be as good as so, but when your sitting on a roof deck looking at the beach it's always good. We had alligator tail when waiting for the main course. It was chewy, a bit salty, but in all pretty good. After, we ate a filling meal we sat for a little until we saw this bird with long curled nails that landed on the railing. I guess he was a normal customer seeing that they had named him. But the view was the best thing to be seen beach when you looked at the horizon it became really that this wasn't another lake in Colorado but this was the Atlantic Ocean. This was the perfect day because I love food and I now love the ocean and beach.

Tanning I laugh at that because I was at the beach a lot when I went to Florida for a week but I didn't show one tan line when I came back to Colorado. This was said to say because a weekend ago I got tan painting the house. No matter the weather was amazing there because it was hot but the humidity helped the heat. I laughed when it was 60 and nice, everyone from Florida thought it was cold so they were all wearing jackets and pants. When I was there wasn't ever a rainy day or one with cloud that covered the sun. I also, loved the weather because I was wearing shorts everyday with tank tops and for pj's were shorts. Don't forget the sunglasses and sunscreen because the sun shines bright over there.

The animals at the beach were something that you can't see in Colorado. On my second visit to the beach I got to see the jelly fish  wash up on the shore. They were a pinkish clear and there tentacles were hard to see under there large body's. The one thing I was afraid to happen was to get stung by a jelly fish, which didn't happen if you were wondering. The other animal I saw at the beach was the baby and adult seagulls. They were hunting for snails and claims on the beach. They would run down when the tide went down and when the tide would come up they would run up too not get wet. I loved to see animals that weren't common or even existing in Colorado.

Do you see why I admire the beach and Florida? Its such a beautiful place to be because its so, peaceful just sitting on the beach. I love sitting beside the beach and eating either at the beach or from a picnic. Even if I didn't tan I would like to next time I go there. I also, liked to the animals that I don't see on a regular day bases. I can't wait to see the great beach when I go and visit Florida during the Summer.

I love my sweets! I love to make and eat them. One of my favorite sweets would have to be cotton candy. I also, like frozen yogurt with topping over flowing. Watermelon my not be what you thought of when thinking sweets but it does have natural sugar. I love me some dark chocolate know that I think of it, even though it may not be as sweet as much of a bitter taste. I think it would be fun to tell you a little history and why I like these sweets so much.

 Let's start off with cotton candy the sugariest thing there is. As far as I know cotton candy is really made out of all sugar. In 1899 4 men were able to make a mechanical cotton candy maker that then became a big hit in 1900. Before this machine was made people would have to warm the sugar to caramelize it and then with a fork start to make the string type substances.  I really like this sweet because it melts in your mouth from the time it touches it. Plus I feel like I can get and candy high off of it with all the sugar that I put in my body from eating it. I really like this sweet because it can give extra energy and its so cool when it melts in you mouth after being your mouth for 2 seconds.

When its a hot day the best thing to do is get a cup of frozen yogurt! I love when you go to a store to get it there are about 10 different flavors of yogurt. That you can put any toppings on it like chocolate or gummy bears. A little history about frozen yogurt is that the start of frozen yogurt was from Asia. Then when Marco Polo went to Asia he found out what the empire was eating and brought it back to Europe. Who then brought it to America who spiced it up with different flavors and things put with it. I love this frozen sweet because it can cool you down on a hot day.

This may come with a surprise when you think of sweets you really don't think of watermelon. I favor this because it doesn't damage you teeth as much with the sugars because there natural. I like to eat it in the summer when there in season and it can cool you down when the heat tries getting in your house. Did you know The oldest harvest record for watermelon is 5,000 years ago in Egypt. The watermelon is also made up of alot of water, exactly 92% of water. These are great with all of there juices.

I love me some dark chocolate. Its great any time and any were. I can have it on ice cream or melt it for fruits. I don't care if its a little bitter because I don't like super sweet things. This was a Native American drink that was drank in the B.C. Later the Spanish found it, they were impressed so, they brought it back to Spain. This was there drink for 100 years before the rest of the world found out the great taste of the drink. Not until 1689 were there other chocolate mad by adding milk to the drink. Just thinking about it makes me crave for some dark chocolate know.

 So some of these may not be what you expected but I love every one of these. With cotton candy I can get a sugar high with out a candy hang over. Frozen yogurt because it can cool me down when its a melting hot day. Or some watermelon that is sugary but still is healthy being that its mostly made up of water. Then i love dark chocolate and its got some cool history about it. I hope you enjoy some of the same things that I do. Talk to you later!

My Spring Break
 I love spring because it is the start of new life and it just feels fresh when you go out side. But that wasn't the case for this years spring break, it was hot and the clouds seem to have run away. With this my family had a couple of things to be done with the out doors. When my parent were a work I slept in, till the sun was directly above our house. When Saturday came and the week was almost over I got to enjoy the simply things in life. I had a great time for Easter when I got to hang out with a friend.

With heat blaring down on me and my family we worked on to paint our house with a bright blue that would lighten any ones day. Early morning my sister and I had been woken up to start. My parents washed the house as some paint and dirt slide like a slug off our house. We had suddenly figured out that the house must dry before painting so the paints would come off. After a hour or two the suns rays warmed and dried the house. We painted for 6 hours only to finish the first coat of paint for the front and started on the back of the house. Sunday threw Monday we worked on our house to only run out of paint.

 When my parent went to work during the day I took advantage of the free time with out a parent nagging on me. I slept in till 12 everyday saying up the earlier day till 1 normally. After waking I greeted my mouth with a yummy bagel which was covered in a thick layer of cream cheese. After so, doing this I would turn on the TV and watch missed TV shows or movies that my mom had yet picked. I also, re-watched a entire first half of a season before it came back on TV a couple of days later. I liked those 3 days in which I could relax and enjoy not waking up at 5:30 in the morning.

When it hit Saturday and the break was about to end, we visited a couple of family members and just enjoyed the simple things in life. I visited my grandma and grandpa, we visited for a couple of hours and got lunch. As, my mom and grandma talked about there busy week me and my sister were stuck on these really introit designed color book that we had kept over many years. I love to see my grandma and grandpa because there a cute duo there not like any romantics but there suborn with each other. I love seeing family when ever possible.

Easter was a fun day because I was able to hang out with my friends for a little bit, out side of school grounds. After church I met up with Kiera and we headed out to a relative in Todd Creek. I beautiful out there with everything being spaced out so, we took a walk on one of the many paths. As, we were talking we found a hole which we thought was a prairie dog hole until something jumped up at Kiera's leg. I we later found out with further investigation was a bully frog. As, we headed back to the house we played with the 3 German Shepard's and 5 baby chicks. As, the day furthered we ate a subway followed by a big lunch/dinner timed eating. After, that we sat in the back of a truck bed and got our "tan on" until it was time to leave. One banana peal was lost and 2 sleepy siblings.

This may not have been a very eventful Spring Break but I don't mind as much as who I spend time with or what I spend time doing. I love the time with my family because I get to know more about them and what happens in there daily life. Sleeping in is a great thing and I'm glad I got to for a couple of days. I will always keep my grandparents close to me and cherish what every I may be doing with them. Its always great to hang out with a friend with out the fact of a school crawling up our backs. The one thing I can't wait for is when its summer break and I don't have to go to school for another 3 months.

Africa

 A cool place to travel to would be Africa. The culture has amazed me. With there government and how it works with each country were there is democracy and then 3 countries away they could still have a monarchy. I also, love to see how there so many different types of living styles from city to farm. I also, love there land and the animals that live there. The people can also, amaze me with what they have gone threw from slavery and daily life. I want to tell you just a little about Africa that I know and show you how cool it can be.

I can start to tell you about government, and so far what I have understood. That there are more than one country in Africa it's self. That they do work together but they do have different works of government. In the way that there could be a monarchy type deal were there is one sole leader and the people give total trust to that monarch. Then a couple countries over there could be more a democracy were people have more choice in what they want, like a leader or the way they want to spend tax dollars. Then each country has to work together if there's a natural disaster to that they can rebuild and help the more poor country's. That's pretty much what my understanding of  Africa's government's consist of.

   I think the way the country looks from the city, farm's and the safari are a cool part of what makes me want to travel there. The way you can change from a city with paved roads to the country that has dirt roads and no electricity. I love the city because then I know that I'm not disconnected to the whole world and that there will at least be one store with water and food. I love the farming areas because you see what most people live in and what daily lives are. I love the safari because it has all of the animals and it looks free and untouched by humans. If I ever visit Africa I want to see ever aspect of it, to see the true Africa.

 The safari is one of the most amazing places I could ever see, with the animals and the land they live and graze on. I love the lion, it shows power and how strong they can be and what they will do to protect there family. I love hippo's there really cool when there in the water and they poke there eyes out of the water. The safari I think would be cool to see because its untouched by the human race. The animal's are also, amazing because they are in a real habitat that hasn't been touched or tampered with by humans. It would be cool to see the part of Africa that is really natural, the safari.

The culture of the people I think is cool. They go threw a lot every day. With some people that have to walk 1 to 2 miles every day just to get water for each day.  I think that's real determination to what American's have, with just turning on a foist. It's really cool with the stuff that they can make, to vases and tribal jewelry. If I look at anything that I own there's really nothing that is made in America. Africa really shows pride with what they make ad I think that's why I would want to visit.

 With everything that I have told you don't you think it would be cool to travel to Africa. I would love to see the food and the people who make Africa what I love. I would be really cool to also, see the safari. Everything that makes up Africa has intrigued me to maybe take a trip there one day.

Cool Future Jobs:

 There are many different things I would like to do in my life, especially in careers and jobs. I think it would be really cool to have my own food truck but just for baked goods. Then, I have always thought of being a director for films and movies. Wouldn't it also be cool to be a photographer and go around the world to take pictures. Also, me and a friend wanted to go into business to make our own interior designers. These are cool to me because they would work with me and my personality.

 Opening my own bakery food truck would be so, cool because I could go to city and just sell baked goods. I think it would be cool to tour America or just Colorado and to just bake. I would probably bake breads, cupcakes, funnel cake, and donuts . I would buy a used truck that I can fix up and put things for baking. It would have a oven or two, fryer, a doughnut maker, and a fridge. I would sell in early morning to get the business people and the early birds. But I think that I will stop at 3 to 4 in the afternoon. My envision of what it would look like out side is like something that is cute with like a chalk board that I can have a menu written on, and I would want to have a cute name that's on the side of the truck. But this is only one of the cool jobs I would want to do.

 Then, what I think is kind of a crazy dream is to become a movie director. It would be cool to tell or show a story with motion pictures. Plus it would be cool have that over all power with what characters look like. Were we shoot any seen. Also, what the lines are and how to help out the actors in there acting. The stressful thing that I'm thinking of is that I will have a dead line. Also, that I'm going to have to deal with money and making sure that its good so, I would be able to do more in the business. I would love to make a life out of this and be a movie director.

 Moving around to cool places and being a photographer is another thing I would want to be. I could go from the Rocky Mountains to Venice, Italy. It would be cool to be a photographers because its not so much a in office type of job. Your out places taking pictures of anything that can catch your at that instant. You get to travel for a job and not just go to meetings and all that. The down side of being a photographer is that you have to know what the buyers are going to like at this point in time. If you don't have someone buying your pictures then you don't have money to continue in the line of work your involved in. I know I would go to the most interesting parts of cities and take pictures of the things no one really thinks about or bothers to see.

Then, being a interior designer would be really fun to do with my friend because we think alike, it would also, be cool to paint when we come in and clean up your house or apartment. It would be fun to do because you don't have to buy the new furniture but you can buy the older stuff and have a little work done with it to make it look new. Say you have the back of the truck pieces were if on a old truck will say Ford or Chevy on the back. You can us that to make a cute bench with a couple of pieces of metal. I also, love to paint things but only if its white walls and not a hard color to paint over. I hate doing layers of paint to try and cover the paint. It would also, be cool to spend someone else money to go and shop. Just think of shopping every day and really not paying a cent or two.

I hope I figure out what I want to do before I graduate from high school. So, whether wanting to be a baker in a food truck. To wanting to make films and become a movie director. Or even being a photographer and snapping everything from a duck to the 7 world wonders. Plus I could become a interior designer instead, spending other peoples money for a job. What ever it is I hope that I can be good at it and succeed in what ever i choose to do.

Best Resturants!

 I love food. Especially when I don't have to cook, or clean the pans cooked in it. I really love to eat at restaurants even if there kind of weird looking or if there really high line. They can either be really good or a bomb to you stomach. I want to tell you the greatest places I've been, with the food, and the character of the place. I hope you can enjoy this, and I hope you agree with me!

 So, when I went down to Florida, there was a place my family and I went it was right by Cocoa Beach, it was white with red edges of the walks. We were brought there by a couple of locals, they had listed 2 places that they thought we may have liked. When we found the restaurant first before the other listed by the locals we stopped and drove into there small crumbled drive way. Walking threw the entrance we saw nobody except the wetter's who directed us to the up stairs onto the deck. Ask we walked up the stairs we smelt the ocean, and then saw it. As we sat it was nice because we weren't being treated differently we were treated as if family, the wetter was really nice letting us know what the specials were. They also, had food that came from Florida and was kind of like a trade make, say alligator tail. The food got to us really fast and was really good it wasn't different than Colorado's food but the fish was defiantly fresh as, being caught in the ocean a couple  yards away. It was a really good experience being in Florida and eating the food they offered.

 I also, love to go to Texas de Brazil. It might be a little expensive but you can always just go on special occasions like birthdays.  They serve all kinds of meat. My favorite is everything that's wrapped in bacon. There are many other things that like flays, and pork's, seasoned beef, lamb, chicken, and Brazilian Sausage. Then, they have a salad bar but it has sushi, and fresh cheese's and many other things. The service is great there they don't rush you when getting drinks. The men coming around with the meats only ask if you want the meats if you have the green part of a card flipped up, so your never bothered. The décor is also, great it has big wooden but they look like metal beams. Then they have huge bouquet of flowers at the salad bar. I think this is defiantly on of my favorites for a restaurant.

 I love to go to Pinocchio's, its a little Italian restaurant, but I just love how this place looks. When you drive by its right by the train tracks, all small and adorable looking. As, you walk up there's a gazebo with some tables in that area. As, you walk in you can smell the Italian food, at the table there's a picnic like cloth on there and white curtains covering the windows. You are brought your food a nice manner and the servers aren't rude. This is a nice place to go to when you want a nice restaurant with out a big crowd waiting on you to finish eating. I also, love that they have a up stair area for parties and other events, that you can have with just family members. That's my favorite Italian restaurant just because of how its displays it self.

  I also, love to go to Gunther Tootie's, which is a 50's themed restaurant which serves the best cheese burgers and milkshakes. With the décor it really does put you in the mind set of being in the 50's. With the motorcycles by the table's, the booths them selves and things that are hung on the walls. To go with the theme the wetter's are dressed in 50's clothes as, they come around taking orders and bring food in a speedy time. There are many flavors of malts and shakes my favorite is the m&m shake. I also, like to have the cheese burgers with some Elvis fries. The burger comes with your choice of cheese, bun, and how you want it cooked. Then, the Elvis fries', are normal fries that are smothered in gravy. Maybe not the healthiest place to eat but defiantly a good place to have a meal at.

  I hope you can take these restaurants into consideration when looking for a place to eat. I also, hope that even with the different places and areas there located in that you can still choose to eat at any of these restaurants.  I defiantly love the fact that that I don't have to wash the dishes or clean up messes after, I eat at any of these restaurants.

Friendships

 I know you have friends, or I hope you do. There pretty good things when it comes to days that your down, or when your feeling lonely. They make sure your okay. They can also, make you smile and laugh. You have fights but a true friend never leaves your side. There always backing you up when it comes to anything. They can come in handy a lot.

 They are really good when your going to places like the mall or on a run. They can help you if you look bad in something your trying on. So, then you don't look like you a potato or spend your money on something not worth your time. Friends are also, good for when you see something that's really dorky and you don't want to try it on so, you just give it to them and then you can snap a quick picture for entertainment. Then its always good for a friend to encourage you to be fit and work out. Those can be the best because you don't have to have a special event to hang out with them you can do normal activities and still have fun. I can get healthier, by running with a friend who honesty makes me feel safer when those creepy people pass threw the area you've been running in. Plus with a friend you don't feel as bad when your both huffing and puffing when you have ran a bare quarter mile. I love having friends that will do things with me.

 I know this for a fact, friend are the greatest things when it comes to you being sad or feeling lonely. Sometimes you cant' always talk to your parents or you siblings, but friends do understand. I would hope so anyway because there the same age and they could being going or gone threw the same thing. One last thing I would think they would be able to keep secrets better than your parents which if mine stare down your back when texting. I also, have stereo type that when with a friend you should never be lonely. With talking, and just hanging out physically your not alone, but mentally I have not determination on whether you feel lonely on the inside. It's all up to you if you will except you friend trying to cheer you up and move on with your life to a better thing.

 When your hurt your friends I hope make sure that there okay. So, lets say you fall or do any action that doesn't go so well most friends will laugh then ask if your okay or if you have to go to the hospital. I think those can also, be the best because they and you can have a laugh about it but also, take the matter seriously. Then, there's the friends that make sure your okay when say your crying or just aren't feeling okay. I think at one point in time you do need a friend that will be there when you are feeling down because something in the family happened. Then , you can tell them what's bothering you and maybe you guys can figure out how to solve the problem. When teachers don't notice that you are feeling good most of the time you can count on your friends to advise the problem and deal with it by bring you to the nurses office to she what can be done. In the end friends are helpers when it comes to seeing a problem and advising it to see if your okay.

 When you and your friend have a fight and you guys work it out, that shows a true friend that you can have for a long time. Say your a girl and you have the nastiest fight that could be had. In the end you should be able to work it out, figuring out what needs to happen. If one person needs to compromise, then you do instead of letting someone's ego ruin everything. Then for guys I don't really now how it works, but I can guess. You guy's normally will get into fist fights mess each other up and then it a done deal you guys don't talk to one and another afterwards. A fight normally can bond friends or tear them apart.

Friends are the best thing in any situation to have. They make you smile and laugh because they do something funny or you do. They can make you feel good when you are down. When you have a true friend a fight won't hurt your friendship but help it. Friends can come in handy for many things.

My Florida Trip!


  When I went to Florida there were many things that I did, saw, and experienced. I got to go to Disney World, Universal Studio's, 2 beaches and i did go to a couple of shops when we drove around. I loved to go to The Denver International Airport, sense it was my first time there. It was also, a great time getting to drive a new car and have a nice hotel to use for a week. I just can't wait until I go back to Florida and have another adventure like this one except even more unforgettable!

   To begin the day and my adventure I had to go to school and then go to some of my classes to later be picked up and sent flying threw the sky. It was like a normal day, except the excitement was tearing threw me that I would be getting to fly for the very first time on that very afternoon but I still had to wait. When it hit 4th hour my dad came to pick me up so, my sister and I could make sure that we had everything and were ready to go when my mom came home from work. When she came home we headed off to the airport to get on to our flight. We arrived at the airport 2 hours early so, we could park the car, get our bags checked in, go threw security, and also eat dinner before deporting.  Everything went fast and smoothly, even the security. To which to our surprise a famous wrestler had showed up from a TV show that I can't recall the name of but then disappeared fast when he heard us trying to recall the name of the TV show.  I got over that when we got ride the subway like train that brought us to the terminals. From there we got the real tickets and figured out what seats we got. As, we were seated in a steak house restaurant we saw the flights that were to take off in the next 30 minutes. After I had a warm bowl of let me just admit "adult mac n' cheese" we went over to the terminal to wait for the flight to get there. We had got "Hector the Sea Otter" which I admit for being my first flight was better than what my parents had described. We got the backset seats so, we could sit all together there I did my homework from classes and then struggled to sleep. But then I would look and see the lights illuminating the dark sky and I would be memorized by them and look at them and think how cool was it, I was flying. So, then we landed at guess! Florida! Drowsy we walked to the bag return grabbed our bags and went speeding to the car rentals and hopped in our not to brag 2014 Compass Jeep and headed for our hotel. It took 20 minutes to get there but when we got there we headed to the 2nd or 3rd level and smooched our faces in the pillows at 2 in the morning. Slumbering for the next day to start for a new journey in Florida the state with no Rocky Mountains in sight.

  I woke up from my deep slumber ready to start my first day in Florida to see what awaited me. May be the beach or some shopping. All I knew was that I was tired with this 2 hour difference. So, if it was 12 pm in Colorado then that meant it was 2 pm in Florida. But any way's when I woke up my parents were already dressed and had there first outing, they had got pop tarts from the store down the street. As, we ate we figured out the day ahead of us. We were going to have a lazy day full of the beach and exploring the road to Cocoa Beach, in Cape Canaveral FL. So, after getting ready in what me and my sister guested was a Florida look we hoped in our red jeep and headed down to Cocoa Beach. When driving i looked out and saw a way different landscape, it was swampy looking with big bushy trees every were and a weird highway/toil road thing going on. Which on my prospective got very annoying having to pay every 1 to 5 miles that we drove. When we got there we talked to people that worked at a shop called the Ron Jon Shop and they told us there was a really good place that was white with red and had a upper deck that you could sit on and watch the sea.  So, we went there ate some alligator that was really chewy and then headed to the beach for the very first time. It was warm and the sand felt really cool between my toes. We dug up shells and got blew over by big waves that we attempted to jump over. Then, after  that we went back to The Ron Jon shop sense our dad said it looked really cool there and looked for a ocean suviner. After looking I got a necklace with a surf board on it. Then, we headed back to the hotel so, we could make dinner and then head to bed after a nice warm shower.

  The next day, we went to Universal Studios to see what the big buzz was about. WE woke up early so that we could get there when it opened. Are hotel was as the GPS said only 4 minutes from Universal Studios so, we thought what could it harm to go to McDonald's and get some lunch.  As we drove there it looked like Universal Studios was in a housing area until we hit a big fences blocking the side of the amusement park and a sign at the entrance for parking. We didn't want to deal with finding our car in the late night so, we payed to get the better parking in the cement parking building. We parked the car and started to walk toward the entrance for them to check if you had anything that couldn't be allowed in the park. Then we started walking for the entrance which was behind the many stores including the Forrest Gump's "Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.", a "Starbucks",  and many more stores that I cant remember. When we got to the real entrance it had the big globe and the "Universal Studios" sign as, you walked through the opening there was the ticket booth and then were you entered through with your ticket. We had to go to the booth and get our tickets it look 15 so, minutes  and then we entered into a street like entrance. They had actors as, characters like a taxi guy who wouldn't give any one a ride. WE ate when we found a spot next to a monster cafe it was also, next to the "Rock-it" roller coaster and a few carnival games. After that we walked around and road a couple of rides like the Despicable me ride, Transformer ride, and we also walked around and saw what stores were around. Then, we hit "Britain" and "Diagon Alley " which was kinda hard to find. When we walked threw my jaw dropped there was a sports store, the twins/ Ron's brothers store with crazy antics, the leaky cauldron, Olivander's  Wand shop, a butter beer store, the pet store, black smith shop, and straight in the middle a Dragon that breathed fire sat on Gringrotts. We walked threw ever store and looked at every detail before leaving to go on the Hogwarts Express which was a great experience being that we were at a real train station. As, we entered into Hogsmeade there was Honeydukes and many other store that appeared in the books. Then, there was the castle that was really cool because it had a ride after walking threw the whole thing.  We headed home after the castle, ate, and then went to bed. Ready for the beach the next day. 

  It was a 2 hour drive to the beach we want to go to from our hotel. So, we hopped in our car and started the long drive there stopping at the gas station on our way. To that we noticed that the gas was really low it was close to 1.00 dollar a gallon.  After, that it was a 45 minute drive that I really didn't mind being that I had never seen this type of land with trees surrounding the road for miles.When we got there it was a drive up beach were you got to park on the beach. The sad thing was that our Jeep Compass got stuck in the sand when driving in because it doesn't have 4 wheel drive. So, then there was two guys that had seen us struggle and decided to help by pushing us until we got unstuck. After, that we had gotten a spot on the beach rented some beach chairs, a umbrella, and 2 boogie boards. My mom sat and relax under the umbrella while my dad, sister, and I went to go try out the boogie boards. The trick is to get on the board when the wave is right by you and it can push you all the way to the shore. After, our five hours of retail was up we started to head back to the hotel. With are car flooded with sand we headed back hope dreading the day we would have to leave the sea we fell in love with. 

  The next day it was time to go to Disney World Magical Kingdom. We woke up early to arrive close to opening but.... The big boat that crossed the river to the Magical Kingdom  had a long line to board so we waited about 30 minutes until arriving on the boat and in Disney World. When we got there we got our credit card like tickets out and scanned our finger prints and we were into a place were "Dreams Come True". It was really busy there so when we found a place to eat by the Carousel we sat and ate. After, eating we went to walk around we saw the tea cups. My dad had told us earlier that we were gonna have to ride those so, we did and after we got off we saw the white rabbit off of Alice in Wonderland. We waited in line for a little bit and then took a picture with the white rabbit. After that we got to race some race cars on a ride that was close to the tea cups.  Then, we walked around alot seeing all the things that were there. Like the Rapunzel tower, Belle's castle which in really life was really small, and then Ariel's castle. As, it got later in the day we went and got something to eat and then we sat and waited for the parade with lights started. After that cool spotting we went to go find a place for the fire works show. It was amazing to watch there were more fire works than when its 4th of July. Then, we started to headed to the get to leave because Disney World was closing and so, our day ended.

  Then, it was our last day we had one more place to go to after packing afterwards, Epcot. We parked and then walked up to the opening and were greeted by a big "golf ball" that we took pictures by and then headed to the few rides of the day. First, we went on space mountain, then a simulation that was for if you were going into space, the Nemo ride, and then the Speedy Way ride the fastest of them all. After, riding all the rides we wanted we went to go see Micky, Minnie, and Goofy. That may have been the second coolest thing there. Then we went to go eat and see the rest of the park that was the around the world part. The small pieces of countries they had put there we amazing that everything that was sold was from that country hand made. After, that we had to rush our way's to the airport to leave. It was sad getting on that plane and flying of Florida soil. 

  I hope I will get to go back to Florida. To see even cooler things and meet the ocean again. Next, time I hope I will get to go to the space center, and go see baby sea turtles. Maybe this time I can get a tan, that would be nice.
