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.
