Woo! Im back baby! And that was the most awesome trip. Well if i didnt post about it before, this trip was called the Amazing Pace cause it was nonstop and we also didnt know where we were going. A new place everyday. We got clues for everything. My dad kinda spilled the beans for me though cause i wanted to know lol.
So lets see I got to church saturday at 9 and I see Blaine and Andrew there. And then Eddy (youth minister) appears and so does Krista (his daughter) so that was a relief cause i didnt really know anyone on the trip. Like i knew who they were but not like friendwise cause they all go to first service. But Krista is an intern this summer. So anyway come to find out, Katie, other girl going, is no longer coming. So its a total of 7 of us. Eddy, 4 boys and me and Krista. Which was good though cause i liked it with a smaller group and me and Krista got our own bed EVERYWHERE we went haha. So anyway we take off toward Florida. Eddy also kept the bus -5 degrees. I wish i would have known that cause i was so cold the entire trip. But Krista let me borrow her blanket on the way down cause she didnt need it so it was all good. Umm...we got to Tampa about 7ish that night. We went and found our rooms, which were ok, but hey i cant complain cause i got my own bed lol. But we all went and swam in the pool which was huge.
So then the next day we went to Busch Gardens!!! WOO!!! It was awesome! Its set up just like Animal Kingdom. All African and animals everywhere. It was ubercool. There were TONS of rollercoasters too. So the 2nd coaster there was called Sheikra. Im pretty sure Blaine and I didnt ride it cause we were terrified and i like rollecoasters. Now this ride was 200ft in the air and then it takes u around this little bend and u know what it does? It takes u to the edge and there is a 90 degree drop probably 100ft. Its straight down, no curve ANYWHERE. Its like falling off a cliff. It looked horrifying. Too much for me lol. So then we ate lunch at this great restaurant that overlooked the fields so u could see all the animals. That was really cool. And then we saw this awesome show that was Lion Kingish. And then we went back to the hotel.
Day 2 we went to Busch Gardens waterpark. I was excited about going but waterparks absolutely kill my feet cause im barefoot on concrete the whole time. Im pretty sure i rode one ride that when i got out, my bathing suit had been made into a thong. No joke. I had on shorts so u couldnt see but still. And then another ride shot water right up my butt that it hurt to walk. But other than that it was a good day. Ohh haha that night was the best. We went back to the hotel and got ready to go out. Eddy said we needed to dress up nice. So all the guys brought like coats and ties and me and Krista brought dresses. So were all dressed up and look real nice and we get there and NO ONE is dressed up. Everyone is in shorts and t shirts. We went to Al Capone's, which was dinner and a show. It was very cute. All the girls and guys that worked there had wigs and were dressed as flappers and the guys all looked like gangsters and everyone had horrible yankee accents. They were rude to u too haha. The show was like Chicago too. The girls also did a rendition of Cell Block Tango which was good but it was only 3 girls. Now let me just say our waiter was very cute and very cordial to me, or so it seemed. I was kinda confused by what he said cause i didnt know if it was part of his character or if it was him ya know what i mean? So we sit down and were about to get up to go to the buffet and Eddy asked our waiter if it would be ok to leave my purse there at the table cause i didnt want anyone to grab it obviously. And he was like yada yada yeah it'll be fine and he was like dont worry sweetheart i got your back. Haha it was funny. Well then at a part during the show he came over to tell us something to do and he put his hand on my back, which he didnt have to cause he didnt need to lean on anything lol. And then at the end when we were leaving, Eddy handed him an extra 20$ for a tip cause he had already paid the tip and bill before we went in. Well im about to walk out and he taps me on my shoulder and goes hey come here sweetheart. So i go over to a table with him and he starts digging in his pockets for something. Well he pulls out a little piece of paper and i was thinking HOLY CRAP hes giving me his number! Well i looked at it and it was a coupon for a free tshirt when we left. And i was like well thats kinda odd...and i showed Eddy and he was like it was probably because of that extra 20$ i gave him, which made my heart sink. I never even thought about it. So that kinda blew the night, but it was lots of fun.
So then we went to Universal Studios the next day which rocked. We barely waited in line for anything. Hmm..what else did we do...i forget.
Oh the next day was kinda our rest day. We went to Daytona and had an ocean view room with a little deck and we stayed at the beach all day. Brandon rented a golfcart and im pretty sure 6 of us crammed into this 4 person golf cart and took off down the beach. He kept swerving trying to tip the cart and took out every sandcastle he could find. It was so funny. And then we went out to eat seafood for dinner and we ended up going to a place that i had eaten at before when we went to Vickis which was funny. And then we went into some shops and i got some jewelry and then we drove past the speedway and went and rode golf carts and then went to baskin robbins. It was a good day. And then we packed up and came home today. We were suppose to go to St. Augustine to see the first schoolhouse in America but we decided not to and came home early instead lol. Kinda tired. Wanna go to bed. Hopefully put pics up later from BSB and aaron.
