On October 21st, my mom, dad, grandma, and I went to Florida. It was kind of like birthday present to me but not really. I thought I was just going to be going on tons of awesome rides and get my picture taken just about a million times with Disney characters, but no. I had a lot more in store then just that.
The first day we got to our condo/trailor, we went to go get food. we stopped at the gate and my mom went up to "talk to the person in the booth". I saw a lady that looked a lot like Joyce, my grandma's cousin. I asked if that was her and my dad said no. But my mom was talking to her. Hmmmmm. Weird. So then when my mom got back to the car we started up the car and left.
When we got back, I was really tired and so I went to go lay on my grandma's bed. I looked out the window and saw Jackson and Joyce. I thought maybe it wasn't them, but then they got closer and closer. I was sure my mom didn't want me to see that they were coming, so I pretended like I didn't see them.
When they got to the door, my mom called me out into the living room. I went out there and saw Joyce and Jackson. I was "suprised". It was awkward because I'm really shy with new people. And so was Jackson.
The first few days were awesome, what with being in Florida and all. About the third day, My mom woke me up and told me to put my bathing suit on under my clothes. I didn't really know why, but I didn't ask questions. My mom and dad put their bathing suits on also, and we were off to where ever. When finally we got to the mysterious place, the questions started flowing out like a water fall. "Where are we?" and "What are we doing here?" My mom handed me a brochure and my jaw just about dropped to the floor. We were at Discovery Cove. The place where people can snorkel in the warm river, swim with tropical fish in the salty lagoon, or make arrangements to swim with dolphins. We got in, got our water-proof photo badges, and were on our way to get our wet suits. Everything digestable was free. It was awesome. A dream come true. Then I found out I was going to be swimming with a dolphin!! I was SO excited!
The dolphin, Latoya, was beautiful. She may have had scratches, but she was a gorgeous blue. I got to swim on her dorsal fin, feed her a fish, play tricks on her, and even kiss her!! It was so cool.
After we were all tired, we HAD to leave. It was most definately a day I will never forget.
