It has only been 9 weeks but missed Mum and Dad, so i was lucky they decided to come visit for 10days. So good to see them, I meet them at the All-Stars Movies Resort where i stayed with them for a couple of nights. On the Saturday I didnt have to start work till 4, so i took them to Epcot and showed them where i work and we wondered round the World Show case. We stopped in France for coffee and yummy cake. It was such a lovely day, weather was soo good. We went on the ride Soarin, it is the best ride ever. I headed to work at 4, mum and dad carried on wondering round and watched the fireworks.



I had Monday and Tuesday off so we went to Clearwater beach, the weather had suddenly turned cold, think mum and dad brought it with them from the Uk. hehe. We couldnt sunbath but it was nice to walk along the beach in the wind. We went to Crabby Bills for lunch which was the best. Had shrimp soo good. After we headed to the Mall to do some shopping.

On the Tuesday we went park hopping started at Animal Kingdom it was soooo cold, we went on Expedition Everest and watched the Lion King show.


After that we headed to MGM studios to watch Beauty and Beast show always good.

On Wednesday there was a few of us that had the day off, so me, Candice, my other roomate Betttina and her friend Julie took a road to trip north to a town called St Augustine, it is the oldest town in the US. It was soooo pretty, we went to the beach first. The sun was out but it was pretty breeze. We walked along the pier and watched the surfs for a while and then sat on the beach sooo nice to get some fresh air.


After the beach we drove in to the town it was so pretty, with the old building, we went in to the St Augustine Church. We took wonder round the town, so good to see old american buildings with big baloncy's and swinging chairs on the porch's. We found this small wooden hut that sold coffees we were so cold, i cant get enough of punkin lattes at the momment so i had to have one. We walked down this street with all these wee shops, felt very spainish. For dinner we found this small italian resturant where we had the best pasta, soo good.

Have to go back to explore more and def try surfing.

There is two big lakes around the Magic Kingdom and some of the resorts, that you can zoom round, it was soooo much fun. I kept getting covered in water from James and Mikes waves, so funny. Good way to blow all the cob webbs away.


After that we drove to Universal Studios and went to the Islands of Adverture, which I had yet not done. We went on all the rides loads of times was soooo quiet.
Last year I lined up for spiderman ride for nearly 2hours, this time I walked on!!!!! So we made the most of it and went of the Hulk like 5 times.

HOS is a good night out, on the dance they have these dance off with the peeps we stand upstairs and watch, it is like being in a flim (save the last dance).
