Florida

My favorite trip I went on when I was younger was when my parents and I went to Florida.  I was only 9 years old whenever we went there in 2003.  We were down there for about a week.  It was super fun because that was my first pretty big vacation I ever went on and that was the furthest I have ever been.  It took us two days to get down there because we drove until we got to Georgia then spent the night and then drove the rest of the way.  The hotel we stayed in was pretty cool because there was a little section that was closed in that had a bunk bed a twin bed that was just for me.  The full day we were there we went to Disney World and that was pretty awesome.  I got to get my picture taken with some characters and we got on some of the rides.  Later that day we stayed for the parade and then saw the fireworks above the castle.  The next day we went to Sea World and that was probably my favorite thing we did.  We went to the Shamu show and I got to feed and pet a dolphin.  We got on a water ride/roller coaster and we did some other activities too.  The following day we went to Daytona Beach and just spent the day there.  The final day we went to Universal Studios and got on some different rides and such.  The one that was my favorite was probably Jaws and Twister.  The next day we left and started home, which was very sad because I had tons of fun and I didn't want to leave.  That vacation was super awesome.  If you get the chance I would go to Florida.

Summer 2011

Last year during the summer my family and I took a vacation to Tennessee.  I absolutely love it down there, it is super relaxing.  We went there the summer before and stayed in a cabin and this year we stayed in the same cabin again.  The cabin we stayed in is more like a house, it had 2 bedrooms and a hot tub.  We went up into the Smoky Mountains and we saw some deer, but no bear.  The before whenever we went down there we saw four bear, it was crazy.  Just driving through the mountains and listening to the water is just so peaceful.  While we were down there we went the amusement park Dollywood, which was also fun.  There is a ride there called River Battle, that I absolutely love.  You go around on the water on this little boat thing and it guns that you shoot people with water.  The people on the outside can shoot you back too.  You can not get off this ride dry, you get soaked! Whe it was time to come home I was very sad because I love it down there and was going to miss it badly.  If you ever get the chance to go to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, I suggest you go down there, you will not regret it at all.

Myrtle Beach

I am in the choir at school and last year which was my 10 th grade year we went on a trip to Myrtle Beach.  We left on a Wednesday night and drove all night and got there in the morning.  It was a long trip, especially since I did not sleep much.  The first day we got there we ate breakfast and got ready and went to the beach.  For April it was a really nice day at the beach.  Later that night we ate at a place called Crabby Mike's.  The food was super good!  The next day we had our competition and that went pretty well.  We got many awards and trophies.  That night I think it was we went to Broadway on the Beach and ate some dinner and went shopping until 9:00 pm.  The next night we traveled at night to go to Virginia and stayed in a hotel.  We didn't get to the hotel until midnight.  The next morning which was our last day we went to Kings Dominion for the day.  That was one of my favorite things we did on the trip.  After the day at Kings Dominion we headed home, which was sad.  That was one of my favorite trips I was ever on!

This is my cute 10 year old cat Muffin!!
My friends and I in New York City on our Choir trip.  That trip was super fun!!  We were in front of the Statue of Liberty!

My cat

I absolutely love cats, so I am going to tell you about my cat.  She is a 10 year old cat and her name is Muffin.  I got her when I was 6 almost 7 years old and she was only 7 or 8 weeks old, she was really little.  We got her at Franklin Feed in Chambersburg.  I am an only child so when I am home by myself she keeps me company and she loves to lay on your lap or beside you.  No matter where you are she wants to lay next to you or lay next to something.  One thing is that she does not act like a 10 year old cat, she loves to play with her toys sometimes and she likes to run back and forth out the hallway.  I love her so much and she is super sweet!
I absolutely love cats and kittens, they are so cute!  I have cat named Muffin and she is 10 years old.  She is the sweetest thing ever!
This is one of my favortie vacations, Dollywood!  My parents and I went the past 2 years.  If you have never been to Dollywood or the Smoky Moutains, you should go!
I have one collection at my house that is teacups.  I probably have over 20 teacups because I think they are so pretty.
This is my dream vacation Hawaii!  I think it is absolutely beautiful.

My blog is all about family and friends.  I just went one of the hardest times of my life.  I had to experience watching my grandmother die right before my eyes.  She was diagnosed with cancer in 2007 and she had two surgeries and went through four rounds of treatments.  I thought i would have go through anything like that.  That was the hardest thing I ever went through.  This past Christmas she said that her back hurt and since then, it seemed like it was one thing after another.  The doctor only gave her two weeks and that was about how long it was when she died.  My dad was in the room that morning and my grandmother said to him that she was going to heaven today and she was right.  When she did pass away, it was really hard because my grandmother and I were really close.  If you have family that you love dearly, please cherish every moment with them because you never know when it will be there last.
