Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 36

Well today was definitely a different Sunday than usual...  First off, I woke up a the ungodly hour of 6:00am to run to the dancing place.  A usually 30 to 45 minute walk condensed into 10 minutes of extreme running in church clothes in crazy 90 degree weather. O.o  But it was worth it. :D  Us dancers filed into the vans and took off to Salt Lake City where we were able to witness Music and the Spoken Word performed by the Tabernacle Choir.  It was pretty awesome to experience. :)

Then after touring through the Salt Lake Temple Square, we headed back and went to the singles ward where I could barely keep my eyes open.  So as a result, I've determined to head to bed early tonight and sate my tiredness.  I've discovered that I go to bed a lot earlier when I'm by myself... Must be that responsibility kicking in. ;)

Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 35

You know, I was going about today and I realized... MY TONGUE IS COMPLETELY HEALED!! *jump in the air yelling in joy*  MAN that was annoying. :P  But it's all over and done with now, so here's to speaking properly. ;) *raises glass in toast*

(Free Fall was one of the funnest rides there)

But anyway, back to my eventful day.  Apparently part of paying for this dance camp also allows the dance group for one free day at the water park down here. :D  Now, though not as cool as some water parks I've been to; the people made it amazing.  I really enjoy the company of the girls here.  I think I mentioned it before, but they're so friendly!  I spent most of the day chatting up with Cody and Rachel as we went on free falls, races, and the lazy river.  I also had Dippin Dots for the first time ever.  I can now see why they're so much money. O.o  They're delicious. :D  But after the walk back from the park, I think I'm going to shield my eyes from the blazing sunlight and just chill indoors.

Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 34

Today was actually super fun!  During our dance number for footloose, I found that I can do the trick Around The World with a smaller girl; and now it's part of the ending! :D  Then after dance class ended, I stuck around for an hour to go to the movie night the camp was having.  I forgot just how much I loved the movie Mulan. I could stop smiling for the entire movie. *giant grin*  However, the walk home was interesting.  See, I live currently about a 30-45 minute walk from the dancing place.  And I usually DO walk.  So to entertain myself, I bring a book to read on my journey to and fro.  However, the movie ended at 10:00pm, and since this place ain't like Alaska and gets dark during the night, the walk felt a lot longer than usual because I couldn't read my book on the way. *grumpy look*  But now I'm back and ready to head to Seven Peaks in the morning, so I'd best be off to bed as soon as possible. :)

Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 33

Today at dance was a pretty average day.  Nothing all that big happened. *shrug*  However, after classes ended I went to the Creamery on Ninth and got the best fries in the world.  I'm serious!  Their fries with their fry sauce must have been made by divine powers because they were heaven to my mouth. Then when I got back home, I met a good friend and used to be neighbor of mine, Tim Buck.  Now here's the thing about Tim and his wife.  They are probably the smartest people I have ever met.  They seriously are knowledgeable about any topic that is brought up!  I had a very good religious discussion with him that now makes me want to check out a few books he was mentioning... I think I've got some more summer plans. :)

Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 32

Today was a ton of fun. :D  In dance class the last section of the day was Musical Dance Theater.  I was apprehensive at first, but then I found we'd be doing a dance section to Footloose. *fistpump*  And because Cody and I are the only two guys, we're going to be the center of attention. *double fistpump*  This dance number's probably going to be my all time favorite.
Then after class I decided to go and unexpectedly visit Sabrina and finally give her the birthday present that's half a year late. ::)  The rest of the afternoon was filled with laughter, catching up, and brownies.  Pretty awesome evening. :D  Now I don't have to go make new friends since one of my old ones is down here as well. ;)

Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 31

I guess I spoke too soon yesterday about not being sore... I AM DYING RIGHT NOW.  Every single muscle in my body is killing me!  Today after doing the basic classes at the beginning, everyone got to choose between taking MDT (musical dance theater), jazz, or stretching.  And I chose stretching because (compared to the girls there) I'm about as flexible as a brick.  So even though it felt good to stretch at the class, I can barely move a muscle right now. *headdesk*
Onto other topics, this afternoon I moved from Thomas's house to Sister Buck's house (a kind elderly lady that we knew here before moving).  In my sore weakened condition, it was something close to torture hauling all my luggage up the stairs to my bedroom. *exasperated look* Hopefully I'll have adapted a bit tomorrow to the dancing life. ;)

Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 30

I'm actually a lot less sore than I thought I'd be right now.  So dance orientation was today.  And it was amazing.  First of all, don't get me started on all the cute girls there.  Girls that can dance are by far some of the cutest I've ever met. ;)  And they're super friendly too! *fistpump*  However I bet nearly all of the ones I talked to are convinced I have a lisp due to my tongue not being completely healed yet. *facepalm*  So before the workshop actually started I walked around campus and re-visited places like my old home and elementary school because I was three hours early.  Plus I caught up with some friends of mine, the oldest who is leaving on his mission in August.  And he's just a year older than I am. O.o. I'm feeling quite ancient about now.
Anyway, back to dance class. It was HUGE.  I mean I was expecting 30 or so kids; kind of like a regular school class. But no.  Apparently there's about 70 people in this class.  And you know what?  68 of them are girls. *stunned silence*  That's right.  Me and this other guy were the only male students there.  I have no idea why I haven't done this earlier. ;)  So even though the dancing was completely different than I'm used to, I have a feeling it's all going to be worth it. *grins*
OH!  And it was Thomas's dad's birthday today as well!  So to celebrate we saw the new movie, Man Of Steel (Superman to all of you non-superhero folks).  And although the critics totally bashed it and gave it one of the worst ratings a movie could get; I enjoyed it.  I mean, a mom and dad raising a kid to have good ethical morals, fantastic introduction, cliche but well written ending... It was by far better than I expected it would be.  I highly suggest it to y'all you haven't seen it yet. :)

Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 29

Train rides are a lot slower than I thought they would be.  When I woke up this morning and headed out to the car, I was ready for a speedy, fast, get me there in no time ride.  Well I was sadly disappointed.  Sitting on the train I felt bored out of my mind as I watched the countryside slowly amble by.  That is until I figured out there's a plethora of games on my laptop that don't require the internet. ;)  So...yeah.  That was basically the majority of my 13 hour train ride from Colorado to Utah.

And then we arrived.  Man how I've missed this place!  I fondly looked out the window at the familiar mountain line as we pulled up to the station.  Then it was time to meet Thomas!  Honestly, he hasn't changed a bit since he left. XD  And so here I am, at the Jones' (name changed for confidentiality reasons) house where they so graciously let me have a room and board, munching down on the best ice cream I've had in my seventeen years. :D  But the best part is that I'm about to learn Jazz and Modern. :)  I  am so psyched for tomorrow!  New dance style, here I come!

Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 28

Well I completely forgot to write in this blog last night so I'm going to try and do my best to remember what happened tomorrow. *thinks hard*
Well for one, it was Grandma's birthday today!  We went to a pretty cool "Junkyard Zoo" where some creative person formed a ton of animals (mainly dinosaurs) out of pieces of rusty metal...well...junk.  I was kind of out of it today though.  I don't know if it was the annoyance for my tongue or the hot weather, but I was really quite tired.
But the end of the day went better were I spent the last few hours with my cousins.  Man, time really flew by fast!  I can't believe that I'm about to head off to my third and final slice of summer vacation tomorrow! O.o

Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 27

You know, in the world of video games, first person shooters were my bane.  Halo, Call of Duty, Team Fortress; all games that I wanted nothing to do with.  I much prefer the RPG role playing games like LOZ and Fire Emblem.  That all changed today.  Today while playing Halo with Cameron and Michael, I discovered that I actually find first person shooters rather fun!  Throughout the day I developed from a pre-noob into a competent player.  Now I can actually make sense of what other guys are ranting about at school. ::)
Unfortunately my tongue isn't much better.  I think this day has been the quietest of my entire life. O.o  And all I've had to ingest are banana smoothies, a popsicle, and water.  I wish my tongue would really hurry up and heal so I can eat properly.  I'm starving! *frustrated look*

Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 26

Funny thing about me is that I am not an early person.  Far from it.  I usually have to be dragged from my bed, kicking and screaming, to actually get up in the mornings. ::)  Unless there's something else involved.  For example; Mom is very good at walking in when I'm playing video games during the day and finding something labor intensive for me to do.  It's quite annoying.  So what's the solution?  Get up at some ridiculous hour in the morning and get my playing time then. ;)  So that's what Cameron and I did today...until three in the afternoon.  It was a good opportunity to reminisce on childhood games like Cubavor.  I also found that Halo is a LOT more fun than I gave it credit.
But alas, at threeish we were told to come along to the park.  Simple enough.  We were even having fun playing games on the playground until I jumped off a pretty high piece of equipment and landed wrong; biting cleaning into my tongue.  It hurt quite a bit. >.>  So for the rest of the night I mumbled, wrote, and played charades to communicate. ;)  I hope this injury heals soon because it's awfully inconvenient. ::)

Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 25

COUSINS!! :D  After a super rushed morning, delayed flight, and quite a bit of turbulence, we finally arrived at the cuz's house in Colorado.  Then for the rest of the day Cameron (the oldest at 16) and I caught up with each other and swapped video game theories. *fistpump*  Honestly, nobody but Cameron and Tait appreciate my nerdiness in this area. ;) You can see why I'm excited to see someone who I haven't talked face to face to in years.
Then after Chinese food and a pretty rockin awesome fortune cookie "You have great physical powers and an iron constitution" everyone got into a wrestling match.  Apparently my fortune came true because I was doing pretty awesome at pinning anyone who came against me. :)  However, now Aunt Edie is threatening to come in early in the morning and get me back for pinning her multiple times. >.>  On second thought, I'd better be off to bed so I can get up before she does. *looks over shoulder suspiciously*

Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 24

Well after watching more Psych episodes this morning, we went to the water park, Typhoon Lagoon where there was a five story drop water slide and the biggest wave pool I have ever seen.  Like seriously; it was amazing.  Then we went back to the hotel and I've been watching Psych ever since.  It was all I could do to pull myself away from my current episode to write on this blog. *headdesk*  That's the problem with finding a good new T.V. series.  I just can't stop until I've seen every single one out there. *big sigh*  Welp, back to watching. ;)

Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 23

This day was the time to revisit any park in our repertoire that we cared to visit again.  Daphne and I decided on Disney's Hollywood studios just for the fact that we never got to see the light show Fantasmic because it was cancelled last time we were here due to lightning and storms.  However, it was also cancelled today because of the same thing. *headdesk*  However today was not a waste!  Besides swing dancing in the middle of the park to some music (gotta show off whenever you can, right? ;) Daphne and I also learned this cool little bottle rhythm beat off some guys we sat next to in a restaurant.  If I know any of you reading this blog, you should remind me to show you it next time we meet.  It is pretty darn cool. :)

Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 22

Today at church I went to the nicest LDS ward I've ever been to.  See, the thing about Mormons is that we're supposed to be the nice people that stand out from everyone else with our accepting and friendly attitudes.  Unfortunately, that isn't necessarily always true.  Sure the majority of LDS members are pretty awesome people, but in almost all the wards I've been to in Alaska, it's really clicky and unaccepting.  I like to think of myself as an inclusive person; so when I am in a ward that is exclusive, it bugs me.  Well the ward we went to today in Tampa Florida was extremely friendly and open and genuinely happy to see us.  I wish all LDS wards were like that.
Then after a nap and some goodbyes, it was the four hour drive back to Orlando where it really feels nice to lay in a comfy bed instead of taking the floor.  That and some episodes of Psych.  I really do love that show. XD

Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 21

Beach fun!  Today we went to a legit beach with sand and sea shells and sunshine and super warm ocean water.  Not any of that rocky cloudy 30 degree bleh beaches that Alaska has.  As much as I love AK; its beaches leave a lot to be desired.  So after running in the ocean, rolling in the sand, then jumping back in that ocean; I was ready to head back for dinner.  Dinner?  Yes dinner.  One advantage to sharing an apartment with older people is that the time schedule is set back a few hours into the day.  Make for late nights and late mornings.  Just my style. *double fistpump*  Then when we went back we visited with the cousin, aunt, and uncle, and chilled until bed.  I can't wait to retire. ;)

Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 20

So today we took our time packing up and heading out of our hotel and checking into our new one.  Pretty average boring stuff.  And what did I do with my spare time in the car?  Well I had my Taiwanese exchange sister sitting next to me, so why not learn Chinese? ;)  I can successfully count and write from 1 to 999 in standard Mandarin Chinese. *smug look*  It's actually not as hard as everyone says it is!  It just takes some time, concentration, and lots of practice. *wise face*
See, we planned on going to Busch Gardens today and heading on some roller coasters before we left to visit my great great great aunt Florence, but we came across complications.  Apparently all of our tickets had expired yesterday except for mom's, so only she was able to get inside (so she could get a certain stuffed animal penguin for Zion).  In the meantime to entertain ourselves, Daphne and I enjoyed swing dancing to the theme park music.  There was quite a few people eying us as they entered and exited the park. :)  But the coolest part was when a girl (Nikki Bott) from my highschool ran over after we had danced and excitedly said hello.  I mean, what are the odds?  For her to be in my same highschool, having swing danced a song with me at prom, being at that certain park, at the exact time that I was dancing with Daphne, was just too awesome to go unnoticed.
By the time mom got back it was off to Aunt Florence! ...who was a three hour drive away. *headdesk*  We finally reached her house at around midnight and met her (89 years old), her husband (94 years old) and her son, who is also my third cousin, (60ish years old).  Well we socialized for over and hour and I discovered that cousin Steve was an inspiration to me.  "How so?" you may ask.  Well I'll tell you tomorrow, because it's heading on 3:00am here and I am exhausted. :P

Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 19

 

When I woke up this morning, the park name Epcot grated on my ears.  I was tired, irritated, and so not willing to spend an entire day at a theme park where the main attractions were focusing on multiple cultures.  Then Mom went and had a hissy fit due to a miscommunication, and I separated from the group. *horrified gasp*  Yes! I know!  Pretty crazy. *rolls eyes* I went off to enjoy the theme park on my own, and enjoy it I did!  Surprisingly this theme park was actually one of my favorites. O.o From designing your own car speedway, to finding out more about the future, to watching educational (yet quite interesting) videos of different countries, I figured out that learning can actually be fun if it's outside of school. ;)
I got a present for myself today. :)  At the Chinese part of the park I happened to pass by a stand of these things.

I just had to get them.  They looked way too cool to leave behind!  So for a bargain of $6.50, I got the Chinese iron balls and the sweet looking box as well.  Apparently you can roll these guys around in your hand and it's supposed to relieve stress.  So even though I don't necessarily need them, I want to become an expert at these. :D  Wish me luck!

Most of the Disney theme parks have ending firework or waterworks shows to signify the closing of the park.  The one at Epcot was possibly the best, most astonishingly awesome one I've seen so far.  I'm absolutely serious.  It was epic.  Actually let me see if I can find a video on YouTube that's got it!

(sorry about the loud crowds. can't be helped)

So all in all; what started out as a pretty disappointing day ended up being pretty darn satisfactory.

Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 18

 The escapades today were at Disney's Hollywood Studios where I finally was able to ride the infamous Tower of Terror!

 

Actually, compared to the roller coasters I've been slamming, this one was a piece of cake.  Just a few up and down jolts is nothing compared to 70 mile per hour speeds upside down and around. ::)

I also saw the preview to the Lone Ranger coming out on July 4.  And I have to say; so far any movie with Johnny Depp I've seen has not been disappointing. :D



Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 17

While Mom and Grandma went back to Sea World (again >.>) Daphne and I decided to chill out on the man made beach at the water park, Aquatica.  There it felt like an average laid back day at the beach...until it started raining.  And raining.  And raining.  But then the best way to avoid the rain was to jump in the lazy river and submerge, which was almost as fun as reading Elantris out in the sun. ;)  Then on our way back to the hotel I found out that the cheapest fast food restaurant to eat at is, hands down, Taco Bell.  Eight tacos later and I feel like I want to crawl in a cave and hibernate. ::)

Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 16

AGGHH MY FEET.  WHY DO THEY HURT SO BADLY?  I mean seriously. I can hike 26 miles for Crow's Pass and still have the energy to run the last mile.  But why can't I walk around theme parks without clutching my legs in agony at the end of the day? *frustrated sigh*
Anyhoo, today we went back and did both Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure.  When we arrived at Harry Potter Land I was debating between a green Slytherin scarf or a blue Ravenclaw.  I eventually decided on the Ravenclaw simply because it matches more of my darker hued clothes.  Did the Incredible Hulk roller coaster again, and rode the roller coaster Rock It four more times.  I am seriously over my fear of roller coasters now.  Like my heart actually calms down when we enter the coaster buildings. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. >.> 

Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 15

Holy smokes!  I just realized that I've been on vacation for over two weeks! O.o  And it definitely feels that long too.  It seems I've been in Florida for FOREVER. Ten more days left though... Then off to Colorado!

So today was the day we switched hotels.  We changed from the Marriott Grande Vista hotel to some place whose name begins with an L. *thoughtful look*  But afterwards it was simply chilling in the room (no seriously, the air conditioning was heaven) and then we went to church at the single's ward near 8:00pm.  I felt like we were going to some Lutheran seminar for being THAT late at night. ::)  Oh! And I discovered this guy who sings duets and quartets with himself on Youtube.  He's kind of amazing. XD

Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 14

Today I woke up feeling pretty sick.  So I stayed home all day, watched T.V., experienced a fierce lightning storm from my hotel room balcony and ate breadsticks.  Not much more to say.  Oh!  But I DID see an awesome quote on Facebook that I might have to steal.

"Clocks slay time... time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels; only when the clock stops does time come to life."
~William Faulkner

Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 13

 And so begin the re-visits.  Now that we've got through all the parks, yet still have tickets for a few more days, what else to do than go through all them again?  Today we went back to Sea World where I was finally able to ride the Manta and Kraken roller coasters I wasn't able to last time.  They were fun as always. :)  Though I'm beginning to become desensitized to roller coasters now!  The plunge and dips and loops are seeming pretty common place now. ;)

Kraken

Manta

Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 12

After going to bed at 5:00am, today was a very lazy sleep and television filled day.  It was good for me, as now I'm ready to head off and do more touristy stuff tomorrow!  Though now my brothers are gone; heading to Utah, and I'm the only guy here. I feel outnumbered. >.>

Highlight of the day: We went out to eat tonight and I started a conversation with a guy who works at the resturaunt.  Eventually our conversation changed topics from Alaska and Canadians to differing technologies within different countries.  Now here's a subject that I know next to nothing about.  The guy (I think his name was Josh) started throwing out terms like 4G and gigabytes and RPM and I was just sitting there smiling and nodding.  Apparently I was pretty convincing with my "uh huhs" and "that's interesting" and "I've thought about that before" because at the end of the conversation he said, "I really need to move up to Alaska.  They've got some smart people up there!" ...XD  I had just taken part in a conversation where I had no idea what the opposite person had said to me.  But apparently I can bluff my way through something like that pretty convincingly. ;)

Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 11

Disney World.  A place of magic and realizing dreams.  Or at least that's what their campaigning advertisements say. ;)  And it truly was fun, even if I'm seventeen years old. :D  A day filled with Space Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Peter Pan.  But possibly the most fun I had all day was when we were waiting in line for one of the attractions and we broke out the Bertie Bott's Every Flavored Beans we got at Harry Potter Land.  Now at first we picked out the good ones like watermelon, green apple, and lemon, but then we got to the...ah how do I put it...interesting ones.  It all started when Tait and I agreed to pick out any bean that the other had to eat.  If it'll work, I'll try and upload the video of our reactions. ;)  And just for reference, I gave Tait dirt and he gave me earwax.

 

It was disgusting.  Period dot.  Then I was convinced into trying a vomit flavored one.  No words in my vocabulary can describe how violently opposed my taste buds were to that horrifying small bean shaped nightmare.  *shudder*  But it was fun anyway. :D And the line seemed a lot less time consuming. ;) And you should have seen the faces of people standing around us in the line. XD
Then right before we left, the clock struck midnight on Cinderella's castle and it underwent many transformations of sparkles and changing colors.  It actually was pretty magical with all of the Disney music playing from the speakers. :)

(feel the magic!)

Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 10

Water park day!  Pretty self explanatory.  I mean, almost every water park is exactly the same.  Lazy river, fast current river, wave pool, water slides, fake beach, ect.  The only thing that stood out there was when I met this small family while waiting in line who were all from Moscow, Russia.  And do you know what the father's name was?  Igor. XD  I mean how much more stereotypical can you get?!  Igor from Moscow Russia.  It was all I could do not to crack a soviet Russia joke. *wide grin*  Then I was asking the girl of the family what she thought about America.  Here are nearly her exact words. *said in thick Russian accent* "It is beautiful at time, but has lot of calories.  In Russia there lot of skinny people."  I just about died.  It was amazing. XD
When we got back, I was ready to die.  It truly showed how out of shape I'm in, so I'm determined to come back to Alaska with some muscles. *nods firmly*  However, dying was not on the agenda because Zion and Mom were selected to go on a small hotel show called "Double Dare" where they got asked Nickelodeon quiz questions and were slimed upon.  That makes two of our family who have experienced the Nick slime. :)  Then it was back to the room where the rest of the day was spent in bliss on the internet. ;)

Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 9

First activity of the day was to pack up camp.  It's really quite astonishing how much stuff can accumulate in just nine days. It's like they're multiplying. *scratches head*  After we stuffed all we could into the car, we were off to the Kennedy Space Center!  I love space by the way.  Though I've never wanted to actually become an astronaut; just learning about zero gravity and light years and the Hubble telescope is amazing. :D  On the way out I saw a few take your own picture and send it to your email and I couldn't resist. ;)


(just chilling in space)



(yes. creepy, I know)



(look! an alien!  right over there!)

After all that jazz, we drove to our new place of residence.  A Nickelodeon hotel!  How cool is that! :D  I'll have to take a picture of the pool and rooms.  They're pretty epic looking. ;)  And last thing of the day...catching up on all of the internet stuff I was deprived of for two days. O.o *deprived look*

Super Amazing Vaction of Awesomeness: Day 8

Sunday truly is a day of rest.  For all we did until 3:00 in the afternoon was wake up and head to church.  Afterwards; a very refreshing swim at the Disney pool, then off to watch Cinderella on a big screen outside.  But that's when things began to get interesting.  Do you know that they have giant lightning storms out here in Florida? O.o  Well apparently they do, and that's the reason Cinderella was canceled.  It's kind of hard to concentrate on the movie when bright lightning is flashing all around overhead. ::)  Since mom is cautious and didn't want us walking outside back to our camp, we took shelter under the pool house and fraternized with another family campers.  Apparently I look like someone the father of the family knows.  You have no idea how many people I have heard that from!  Countless times I have heard that I look like a friend (or more frequently) cousin of a recently met stranger. >.>  I guess guys like me have pretty unmistakable faces. ;)

Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 7

 Well I knew today was going to be different than the others because I woke up on my own at 10:00am. Usually I'm shaken awake at 7 to prepare for the day's activities.  But today the activities didn't start until later! *fistpump*  It was our last day at the resort Landon won, so I spent the morning re-packing and reading by the poolside (you can never read Elantris too many times).  Then around the afternoon it was time to head to Universal Studios.  There it wasn't so much as "see how much fun you can cram into a short amount of time!" but rather, we actually took our time and saw the sights.  It was nice. :)  Probably the best attraction was the "Rock It" roller coaster where you could choose your own soundtrack as you rode the attraction.  And my personal song was "Can't Touch This."  I felt pretty epic. ;)

Then after buying a shirt that imitates a suit, my brothers and I competed at shooting aliens in the Men In Black ride until the park closed. *smug look*

 Afterwards we came to our new place of residence, the Disney campgrounds.  And can you guess what we found there? (or rather a lack of?)  That's right, no Wi-Fi.  So unfortunately this post will have to wait till later.  All you people actually reading this will have to wait a few days. ;)
