My RV Trip! Read all about it here!

Universal City Walk

April 1, 2009 – 9:19pm

Hi There! Well, I must say that since we left Northwood, NH on November 26th, we now have 9,957 miles sitting on the pick up truck as I write this! Our last snowbird trip was 13,500 miles, will be make it to that once again??? We will see! 🙂

Okay, today I spent a large portion of my day lazing around the RV. Is that a word?? Lazing. It’s my new word! 🙂 And this evening we went to Universal City Walk over at Universal Studios. Here’s the City Walk website if you want to check it out! And yes, I got pictures! 🙂

Anyone that knows me – knows I’m a huge Kasey Kahne fan……

There’s the NASCAR Bar & Grill……

Margaritaville is across the water and I think I see Jimmy Buffett’s plane……..

I’m at Jimmy Buffett’s airport…….

The Margaritaville store and if you know me – you know I’m a Margaritaville Girl!!!! 🙂

Well, that’s what we did today. Have a great night. We are leaving Kissimmee tomorrow, so stay tuned on where we are off to next! 🙂

Disney World Day

March 31, 2009 – 8:01pm

Well, I had my Disney Day and it was great. I got alot of pictures so give it a few extra seconds to download so you can see all my pictures! 🙂 I went on alot of rides. There wasn’t a whole lot of people there today. I went to Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Animal Kingdom – Yep, all in one day! 🙂

Splash Mountain. I didn’t go on this one…..

From Magic Kingdom to Epcot! Here we go……

Okay! Left Epcot and now to Animal Kingdom……

I went on a wild animal safari…….sooo much fun!

After the safari I found the Mickey Parade going on inside Animal Kingdom…..

I had a great day. I got a ton of pictures! 🙂 I hope everyone had a great day too. Talk tomorrow (I’m a bit tired of all the running around). Have a great night! 🙂

Downtown Disney

March 30, 2009 – 10:34pm

Well, today I did not go to Disney, but tonight we all did go to Downtown Disney and walked around their boardwalk looking at the stores and outside entertainment. But, don’t you worry. Tomorrow I’ll be going to Disney all day from when it opens to when it closes. Today we slept a little late and hung around the RV Park relaxing. At Downtown Disney tonight I got some pictures! 🙂

We followed a Disney bus to Downtown Disney…..

Once inside Downtown Disney – there are alot of restaurants……

OH, they were testing this new ride out with the hot air balloon, but there’s no fire to make the hot air so I’m not too sure what’s helping this balloon rise into the air…….

A closer look at the new balloon ride…..

There’s the sign – Coming Soon! 🙂

The outside entertainment is great in Downtown Disney – beautiful music…..

We are going to pass through Pleasure Island which is usually dead until around 9pm. But they do have some shops in Pleasure Island such as Harley Davidson…….

Ohhhhh, time for a snack……

We continue walking around looking around. The music playing around Pleasure Island is coming from here…..

Mickey ice cream is pretty darn good……

Ohhh, Lego land……

Just browsing through stores and seeing some neat stuff…..

Well, that’s what we did tonight. It was fun and we ate dinner at the Rainforest Cafe here at Downtown Disney. So it was a nice and peaceful day today. Tomorrow I’m all ready to take on Mickey Ville all day with my camera. I’m going to have sooooo much fun. I’m going to find Mickey and run around and do everything I can in one day. One girl, one day, four Disney parks. Let’s the Marathon begin! 🙂 Have a great day – I’ll be back with great pictures 🙂

Family In Groveland

March 29, 2009 – 9:50pm

Sunday is family time. We have family 40 miles north from where we are staying in Groveland (we are staying in Kissimmee). My uncle and aunt stays in Groveland for the winter and spends their summers up in Freedom, NH. We slept late this morning and around noon we headed north on 27 to spend time with them.

Well, as predictable as my family is (or maybe I just know them too well *smile*), dinner was ready. My uncle and aunt has their neighborhood friends over and all together there was 9 of us there (10 counting Jake, yep, he went too!). We all had a nice dinner and a pleasant visit (that’s predictable too!). It’s always great to see them!

My aunt was having trouble with her laptop, so I fixed everything on that computer that she was having trouble with and made some shortcuts for her to make her internet experience a bit easier. We spent all day there talking and relaxing and just got back home to the RV at 9:30pm!

I’m suppose to go to Mickey World tomorrow but decided to wait another day. Tomorrow we are going Flea Market hopping and I don’t want to miss out on that! I love flea markets. Tuesday will hopefully be a Disney day for me. The only reason why I say “hopefully” is because hopefully the weather will work out for me and not rain like it has been lately. Two nights of rain and thunder. Poor Jake snuck up close to me in my bed because he was so scared of the loud thunder last night. Poor little guy.

So I’ll keep this blog posting to the point (for once 🙂 ) and go enjoy my night reading my book that I bought a Publix while grocery shopping yesterday! Have a great day! I’ll be back tomorrow!!! 🙂

PS: Don’t forget to vote on my new poll questions on the right hand side of my blog. Got two votes so far!!! 2 people loves cruises and 2 people loves international land! 🙂 Vote and let me know which dream vacation is perfect for you! 🙂
