What are you going to do next? I'm going to Disney World!





























Yes I went to Disney World last week. My friend Julia came out to visit so we took a short trip south to Orlando. We stayed in the military Disney hotel, Shades of Green. It was a very nice hotel on a golf course and it even had a Mickey Mouse shaped pool. We went to Epcot and Magic Kingdom. Epcot was a full day of fun, we showed up at 10AM and left at 1AM. There were extra late magical hours for people staying at the resorts hotels. Epcot has crazy rides and different "countries" you can tour. We went to Morocco, Germany, France, Japan, China, Canada, and the UK all in one day! The little replica countries are amazing. I have never been out of the country but I imagine that is what they look like. Even the people at the shops and restaurant were from the country they were working in. So Epcot was my favorite part of the trip. We did however go to an amazing dinner one night. My sister Melissa worked for a fancy restaurant in Key Largo two winters ago at a place called Norman's. So there is one in Orlando at the Ritz Carlton, so we went. I have never had a meal like this before. I tried everything fried Oysters, sweet breads, yuka root stuffed shrimp, fried cod (which was my favorite), oh and the dessert was this strawberry sauce over champagne sorbet with a crape on top! Melissa knew the manager so this whole fancy meal was about 30 dollars each instead of about 100 or even more. He only charged us for the main dishes! This dinner was the best meal I have ever had.

Charleston






Last weekend I went to Charleston, SC with Melissa and her friend Taryn. We had a good time seeing the beautiful buildings and being in a bigger city. We sayed right downtown at a historic hotel. It was nice to be able to walk from our hotel into the downtown area.
