Spring Break Dolphin Style

I know I haven't posted in a while, but I've been busy and without my own computer it has been difficult.  I mean lets face it, typing a novel on an iPhone isn't as easy as it sounds....But anyways, in March me and the Namily (nanny family) went to Florida for Spring break!!! WAHOOO!!!!! I got to do some things I never thought I would be doing, at least not anytime soon. And of course those kiddos had done it all already so it wasn't as awesome for them -_- *ahem* *Spoiled* *Cough Cough* But, I GOT TO SWIM WITH DOLPHINS AND SEE HARRY POTTER WORLD at Universal Studios!!!! I LOVED IT!!!! I NEVER WANTED TO LEAVE!!!!! And so now, me and the bestie +Katie Jessop are going there before she gets married to her man :) Can I just say we're awesome?  Cause we are :) haha anyways, Florida was fantastic. I wish I could post pics but I'm on a library computer and all the pics are on my phone.

The Dolphins we swam with were Axel and Akye.  Axel was a younger dolphin so he was extremely playful :) It is so amazing how interactive and well trained they are.  It was almost like they were humans stuck in dolphin bodies.  They would talk to us and play with us. It was amazing! I wish I could have a pet dolphin.  It literally almost made me change my major! I used to read about dolphins all the time and as a youngster seriously considered becoming a marine biologist, so being able to experience that was a dream!!! At Discovery Cove (where we swam with dolphins) we also got to go snorkeling with sting rays and all sorts of beautiful fish! I want my scuba license so bad! Or at least live near an ocean so I can do that more often! It was so amazing! I love the ocean I love fish, I LOVE dolphins!!!! They had a shark and eel tank in the snorkel area.  I didn't know they did so when I looked to my side and saw these scary eels I was shocked that they had allowed those to be swimming around with us. Then I realized there was glass and it was a separate tank...yeahhh....freak out moment for sure.  But all in all it was amazing. I am so glad I got to experience that beautiful place!

Being in Florida, we of course went to Disney.  Magic Kingdom was at full capacity for part of one afternoon so we went to Epcot to pass the time.  That place is laaaammmmmeeee. For us high adventure thrill seeking roller coaster crazed kids we wanted the big stuff and well, Epcot is more for sight seeing. But we eventually got to MK. And Oh my Lanta! That night it was FREEZING!!!! Ally and I had made the mistake of wearing shorts and forgetting sweatshirts. And we all about died.  The wind was blowing super hard and it was just miserable.  The kids were complaining the whole time while I was trying to have fun.  If I hadn't been there they probably would have left within 5 minutes.  But I was determined to ride the Peter Pan ride and Winnie the Pooh! NO ONE could stop me! NO ONE!!!! No matter how lame the said it was, I was NOT going to leave!!! Oh and since it was so cold and fairly late at night, we got the whole park to ourselves.  We rode splash mountain 3 times in a row. despite how freezing it was and the ever pending doom that we would get soaked. Oh and I came in second place on the Buzz Lightyear ride.  Take that gamers :) (aka Ryan)

Universal Studios was one of my favorite places. Mostly because it had the Harry Potter area!!!! Oh my goodness. I was so in love.  Drinking butter beer and riding the dueling dragons, visiting Zonkos joke shop and Honeydukes sweets, and that Hogwarts castle/ride....I was in heaven.  Really though, heaven should be exactly like that. Thinking about it makes me want to cry... but not really...but yes at the same time because I miss it. I just can't even begin to describe it. It was my childhood, and it was tangible. Magic is real folks!!! I swear!!! Maybe not quite like Harry Potter magic, but its out there everywhere. I can't wait to go back again! Cannot wait! It couldn't come soon enough!!!
