Florida - Winter '03

Day 1 - Got there an hour and a half late because the plane didn't leave on time. Spent a few extra hours on the plane with my family. Yay.



Rented a hot car. Was supposed to be a Ford Mustang but they suck. But hotness anyway. Yes, we looked super cool in a convertable, especially with my grandma in the back.


Holiday Inn was pretty. There were boys waving hi to me from the 4th floor while I was in the pool. With granma. Yay granma...

Day 2 - Went to some kind of gator zoo.



Gator Orgy


Me, my bro and a gator

Yes. Twas a fun day. Really.

Went to a Pirate Dinner Show. That was probably the highlight of the trip. Yumm. Guys dressed up as pirates everywhere. Wow. Hotness. Haven't been that excited in a LOOONG time. I forgot my pirate hat at Stevens and was very upset about that, so my brother bought me a pirate hat in the gift shop. Wow, he can be so sweet sometimes that I feel bad being annoyed with him all the time. Anyway. I put on my lovely pirate hat, and a pirate guy who worked there came up to me and said I looked cute in the hat. Next time I saw him he came up to me again and said the hat was cute. Hee. Then after the dinner and the show (which was hot cuz shirtless pirate guys flying around = yummm) I went into the gift shop to buy an eyepatch and I asked the pirate guy where they were without realizing they were right in front of my face (stupid Kate). So while I'm buying the eye patch he's all like "how old are you? where are you from?" I accidentally told him I'm 18, and then I'm like, wait, 19 (stupid Kate). Anyway, he was from England (accent and everything!!) and he had a pretty smile. After the show they put on silly 70's music and I was gonna ask him to dance, but my whole family decided to follow me back into the gift shop. Yes, my mom followed with a camera. No way was I asking him to dance then. Sigh. But like, wow, I can get a pretty pirate guy?!? Whee! And the cool thing is that the pirate/waiter that we had was all hot and perfect looking with blond hair and blue eyes and like, I didn't want him because he's the type of guy who knew he didn't have to bother being nice and smiling because all the girls were all over him anyway and I knew I'd never even get his attention, but the pirate guy I wanted was all sweet and smiley and nice and whee. But yea, no pirate for Kate, no guy with English accent for Kate. But wow, hotness all over the place.

Day 3 - Went to Epcot.


Epcot SUCKED. All simulation rides and stupid educational attractions for little kids. People my age really should NOT go there. The only cool thing was the World Showcase, where they made miniature versions of a few countries, with performances and restaurants from there.


Morocco. The music was soo pretty, and the belly dancing looked really good. I'm so making my daughter take belly dancing lessons.


More Morocco.


Japan. This lady was amazing. She made candy animals out of taffy type stuff in under a minute.


Norway. Umm... a troll.

Day 3 - Went to MGM Studios. Didn't even bother taking pictures. It sucked that much. There were only 2 actual rides in the park, one rollercoaster to Aerosmith's music, which was hot, and the other one we didn't go to because there was a 3 hour line. Yea. The rest of the park sucked. It was pretty and all, walking through streets that look like they're out of movies, and looking at real movie sets and stuff, but blah. Soo not for people my age.

Day 4 - Got to Daytona. Was supposed to be a lay on the beach and tan day, but there was no sun. Sooo pissed off. Went to florida for a week and suffered from boredom and didn't even get a tan. Instead we went Manatee watching. Oh, what fun. (Oh, and I don't have pics of the manatees because they didn't come out right cuz the fuckers were underwater)


Me and grandma in a tree that was struck by lightning


My mommy


Exciting, isn't it?

Day 5 - Went bird watching. Won't even bother uploading pics of pelicans, they're not exciting enough.


Yea, everyone said it wasn't gonna be that bad, and I didn't think it was really gonna be that bad, but it was. My brother is the most stubborn and annoying person. My grandma is well... a grandma. She kept telling us to zip up our jackets, or to close the car window cuz we'll get sick, or to put on a hat when out in the sun. She was very impressed by the fact that my brother and I were able to stay up till 11 pm, the one night we stayed up that late. Yea, that should show how much fun this whole vacation was.

The only cool thing was that the last night we were in Daytona I got sick of them all and went to sit in the hallway of the hotel and read. 2 guys kept walking by and they invited me to a party they were having. I didn't go because it was a hick party (3 guys from tennesee). So the cute one (Mike) came back and sat down next to me and we talked for a while. He wanted to go take a walk on the beach, but then they called him to go eat pizza, so he said he'll be back in a little while. I sat there and read for another half hour, but I wasn't gonna sit around and wait for him, so I went back in. So no walk on the beach with cute hick. Oh well. But yay. Guys that are not from Stevens talk to me. Hee hee. Yea, I don't know what it is with me and hicks. But they seem to like me. Or not, cuz this one didn't come back. Oh well, who cares.


Something I saw one night...


Am I the only one who read that as "$135 weekly sex" ???


Something else that amused me.
