Florida.I think Florida has the biggest and the most gift shops in the world.Along every street there are mansion sized gift shops with giant signs that light up ad flash trying to draw your attention to them…or blind you….Florida is also known for there parks.Disney world and Universal studios are huge parks,and each one has different themes.In Disney World there is Animal kingdom,Epcot,and a lot more.In Universal studios there is Harry Potter world and a lot MORE :)

For the past few days we have been in Florida,and we stayed at this AMAZING hotel.It was so cool because I got my own room…kinda.When you entered the room you saw 2 doors,when you walked into the first door it looked like a typical hotel room,but there was a kitchen,and when you entered the second room…it was just lie my own little apartment thingy.It had a little kitchen,a big bathroom my own bed,a flat screen TV,a little table,and a little outside deck like thing.It was really awesome.Than,right outside our building,there was a pool,and just a few minutes away,there was an even bigger pool! it was really cool.There was also a little arcade with air hockey,a pool table,and a really sucky dance game that only plays songs in japanese..it was an odd game.There was also a movie theater and restaurant.

When we were in Florida, I met my Nephew Montana,and my brother Marcel.Marcel and his wife Amy both work for Disney.The second day we were there,Montana and I hung out at the hotel all day,where he beat me at air hockey,(3 to 1 ) but I beat him at pool :)

Than that night,I went out to dinner with my mom and my Aunt Alison and aunt Franny,for my aunt Franny's birthday.We went to a restaurant called Cabanas,and it was actually pretty good.

Than,the next day, to top off her birthday celebration,we went to Animal Kingdom,and we had our own tour hide…(it was Montana)   ;)    We first went on a little safari to see some of the animals and it was actually really interesting..Than we went to this BIG,room,and you could look in these little windows and you could see bugs and snakes and all of that stuff.And it was really cool!!!!!!! There was this one snake(it was a python I think) that had once been a pet,and her owners hadn't taken good care of her,and one day she got out,(and they lived in manhattan so they had to catch her fast) and they did get her,but she had had such bad care,that she is not as big as she should be.There was a lot more stuff in there, but i thought that was one of the most  interesting things.

There was also a petting zoo and I got to touch a tortoise :)) Unfortunately none of the animals were out so the petting zoo was pretty lame.

After that we went to a really good chinese restaurant and I had really good sweet and sour chicken mmmmmmm it was good.

Than,we went on this ride called Kali river rapids.Its kinda like white river rafting ride at six flags except better.At one point,there is this giant water fall thing ,and if you are going down that backwards,you are going to get totally soaked.We went 3 times in a row,and on the third time,we went down backwards! haha,it was so cool!!!!

We did do more that day,but if I tried to right it all out,it would be a 5 page blog.

Later that night,we all went to this awesome restaurant called Tu Tu Tango,and instead of ordering one big dinner,you order millions of little plates.We ate so much that night!! There were plates stacked everywhere and the food just kept coming.It was really awesome.

It was really great to see my family and to meet my nephew. And overall,it was a really good visit.

Like i said in my previous blog post about Kitty Hawk,it is,my favorite place on the trip..besides Manhattan of course.For three straight days for at least 4 hours,we would go to the beach and go in the water,walk along the beach and we would find amazing washed up sea life and really cool rocks.We even found the core of a nautilus shell.It is so cool.We also found a entire jellyfish washed up on the shore.Not just a piece of it like you see on other beaches.You know that think that is a perfect circle that looks like a really big person sneezed and didn't use a tissue or anything..well if you did think it was a giant leftover sneeze..it is actually a jellyfish.But we font a full jellyfish.It had all of the tentacles on it the whole head all of it.Than the next day,we went on a walk on the pair,and not only is it an open fishing pair,it was also the visually impaired fishing day.Which is where everyone who has problems seeing comes and they will get all of your fishing gear together and then you will go fishing.So not only was it super crowded,but you also had bunch of blind people walking around and shaking you with fishing poles. Well,the one thing that compensated being ran into by the "visually impaired",was all of the sea life that you could see.In pacifica, the water isn't super murky but it isn't super clear either.In kitty hawk,you could see all of the wildlife in the water.When I was on the pier,I saw a number of aquatic life.We saw a school of jellyfish swimming through the water,a school of fish swimming there the dater,and a pod of seals swimming through the water.And then I contemplated,why can you see al of the aquatic life here,and not in Pacifica?You can see seals when they poke their heads out of the water,but nothing else.That question completely engrossed my mind…And I still have no idea why :)

Sometimes,when you are in an RV park or any place really,you have a certain intuition.For example.In the RV park in Jersey,my nutrition was…not safe after 1:00 A.M.But in Kitty Hawk,you always felt safe.

kitty hawk part 1

So,last night,we have stayed at this little campsite in Virginia beach,and once again,we were falsely allured.What I mean by that is the description of this campsite was so…well alluring.It said it had long walks around and beautiful scenery…but when we got there…there was barely any plant life,no walks at all,and it was once again like an amusement park.There were trampolines and bouncy houses and a giant pool with a water slide and a carousel and all that stuff you find at six flags or something.And there were bunch of 5 year olds screaming and yelling.I mean,its not like it was older kids just walking around and talking or anything..there were at least 30 little kids.And then,when we actually pull into out spot,another guy had left his car there and refused to move it.So we had to get another campsite.It was super annoying.W ell,luckily,tonight we are going to go stay at a campsite that is right next to the beach,and if we like it,we are going to stay there for a few days..which is going to be soooo nice for us.You see,when you get to the campsite,you have to hook everything up.We have to connect the electricity and the water and all of that stuff.Than,if we just leave the net day,we have to unplug everything again.Now,normally that doesn't bother me,but some campsites have deadlines.So at some campsites we have to get out at 8 in the morning,so we all have to get up and undo all of that stuff.But for the past few days,we have been at this beautiful RV park right next to a wonderful beach in the little place called Kitty Hawk,which is where the Wright brothers developed the first motorized airplane.

This has been one of my favorite places on this while trip.It is sunny and then ocean is SO WARM!!!!!!You can't help but go neck deep or start swimming out in the ocean.And you know when you go to places like crispy field back in SF or go to the ocean in Pacifica,you sometimes see little fish swimming around?Well here,when you go in the water,striped bass and big fish will come up to you.It is sssoooo amazing.And the people in north carolina are so incredibly nice.All of the restaurant hosts are so incredibly nice,the don't just brush you aside and c=sit you down and the leave you alone for the rest of the night.They actually come up often and see how you are actually doing.

Like I said,I loved this place.I have had the most fun and had the best time here.Everyday for at least  3 hours I would go to the beach ad hang out in the sun.And now I am really tan!!!HAHA but thats not the point.If I could send you to one place on this trip,although I also loved New York,I would send you to Kitty Hawk.

Not only was the ocean and the beach and the whole entire town of Kitty Hawk amazing,but the food was excellent also.The first night we got there we went o this restaurant called "The Black  Pelican",and the service was great,but the food…was not.It took quite a while for the food to come out and in that time tide 3 cherry stems into a knot only using my tongue,i read 2 chapters in a book,and…listen to 20 songs on my Ipod.And we realized once the food actually got to our table..we realized it was NOT,worth the wait.But the next night we went out…it was one of the most amazing dinners on the whole trip.We went to this little place called Mama Kwan's,we had an AMAZING MEAL!!!! it had amazing pork and salads and home made dessert..mmmmm it was sssssoooooo good. 

hello

You know when something seems so alluring,that you just have to go over and see it,but when you get there its not as good as you though it would be.Well,thats what kind of happened to me.

I love chocolate.And we were at this campsite that was only a few minutes away from the hershey chocolate factory,and we found at that we were able to get a tour of the factory.And i got so exhilarated and jubilant that I was able to go to the hershey factory.But then we looked at the pamphlet…and then I was completely reticent to the idea of going.Instead of actually getting a tour of  the factory,you had to go on this really expensive ride and it completely avoids the factory.So we didn't go.Than,later,I was devoted to going on a bike ride.But then a giant storm came and that was real amazing.The same kind of storm that happened earlier that day.It was os incredibly strong that it almost blew the Whole RV over.It was so awesome.I thought it was so incredibly cool how strong it was.I love it when it rains,but this was not just a little bit of rain…It was completely flooded wherever we looked.But it was the kind of thing that you see in movies when you see the end of the storm.Well,we really did see the end of the storm.We were under these thick,black clouds.And then in the distance,you could see this yellowish pink bit of sky,and it was so cool looking!!!!

Now,so far on this trip,I have been very indifferent about what we were going to do,but today,I was not indifferent.I was so determined to go out for a nice bike ride,that the minute we parked the Rv,I pulled out my bike and just started riding around.I had no idea where I was,or where I was going,I was just happy to be out of that RV.Lately,we have been driving for the whole day,meaning we would leave the campsite at 8 in the morning,and we would get at the new campsite at 6 or 7 at night.Meaning I would sit down all day and do homework,listen to music,read,watch a movie,and research about where we are and where we were going…all in one day.

Some facts about where we are.We are in Virginia ad Virginia's capital is Richmond and the largest city is Virginia beach and the population is 433,934.The whole population of Virginia is 7,386,330,and the state bird is the Cardinal,and the states flower is the flowering dogwood.

Ok,something a little off topic.A writer named Langston Hughes once wrote in one of his poems "sometimes a crumb falls from the tables of joy"and when you are stuck in an RV for hours on end with only your parents to talk to,that is most certainly true.When you are in such a cramped space,if one person is grumpy,than it is kind of hard not to be also.Its not like home where if one of your parents is upset you can just go into another room,In the RV as you know,there is not "another room".So you either have to shut up and not bother them,or you have to….adapt to there mood.

Since it is Autumn,all of the trees are changing colors,and it is beautiful.You are driving three the rocky mountains and on either side there are these huge trees with amazing bright orange yellow and red leaves.Often times in nature shows they will sow a birds eye view of the trees.Well imagine that,but,instead of a field of green…imagine a field of red,yellow,and orange.Now normally,I am reticent about sitting in the front seats,but whenever we pass there these forests filled with these beautifully colored trees…i sit in the front seat.There are orange leaves,yellow leaves(yellow leaves)and red leaves.

The past few days....if you are easily offended than please do not read parts of this blog... :)

For the past few days I have been  in Truro Cape Cod.Which is only a few miles away from this amazing little town called Provincetown.Now.here is a part where I suggest yu leave if you are easily offended...and I am trying to say this in the nicest way possible...and this is a fact....Provincetown is  one of the most gay communities in the U.S.We have a friend who used to live in Provincetown.And she says that only 3 children are born a year,Not adopted,actually born.Now,don't take this the wrong way.I think that this has been one of the best places I have visited..but wee went to this one AMAZING  restaurant called Napi's,and there were only 7 guys in the restaurant...not including the waiters.
This town was so incredibly cool and sweet and amazing.Plus,I have had some of the best ice-cream on this trip there....anyway.Also when I visited,I took this tour.Now,I know when I think of tours,I sometimes think of a group of tourists who have no idea where they are.But,this waas different.I think that my family and I were the only tourists in the tour.The tour was really interesting.one of the things that I learned is that The pilgrims didn't first land in Plymouth.They actually first landed in Provincetown,but they couldn't find any water.But then they came upon a spring of water in Truro ,but truro in 10 miles away from Provincetown,so the pilgrims left and then landed on Plymouth.
I think that this has been my favorite place in the whole trip so far :)

Now,when we were at our RV campsite,we rode our bikes to the beach.And it was so beautiful!!! And a little bit sad.Why?Because it was covered in trash!!There was garbage everywhere!! Bleach bottles,plastic bags,soda cans,I even found a pair of pants.It was is sad that I even made a plan to come back the next day..but it rained for 18 hours so I couldn't really go.Well...I guess the last thing to say is that today has been a really good day :)



p.s.sorry if I offended anyone

What a day.

So you know when your family decides to go to dinner,but they want to check out the menu online,and it looks like a totally cool place,with bunch of people hanging out and laughing...but then when you actually GO to the restaurant...and it has a total of 7 tables and 5 out of those 7 are filled with 80 year old senior citizens.I think,that tonight,we really showed, that families can have a lot of fun together.Tonight was the kind of night when at first you think that it is going to be awful...but it actually so fun.Tonight was the kind of night when you feel lisa you are a natural comedian.Every time you see something a joke pops into your head and it is hilarious! My family and I were laughing so hard that all of the old people were staring at us lie we were teenagers that stole all of there money.went and bought a piece of pie,and then came back and smushed it in their faces!! Or like we were bunch of toddlers sitting next to them in a movie theater while we were on a sugar high.Or a group of teenagers who just crashed there bingo night....you get the idea.So we were laughing so hard at everything.When my dad dropped a piece of carrot cake on the floor,when my dad pretended that his spoon was a ninja and started attacking my mom,when i accidentally hit my mom with a dried up old raisin,and many more things that happened at that table,made it much easier for all the old people to want us out of there.

Then when we got back to the RV,the laughter continued.We met another family who us going on a trip and they have some dogs.We talked with them for a little while and my mom already are another friend.Then,when we got back in the RV we got pictures from new york and had so much fun akin up names for them.Then the typical stuff my mom del down my dad had trouble getting her up so i had to help to "elderly" people off the floor.Honestly,so much more stuff happened but I want to show you some more pictures!!!Now I know that this isn't the most exciting but its a shop full of chocolate and pastries...that day,I was in heaven.Haha :)

nature.

Ok,so last post,I told you that I found magic in the cement jungle known as New York or Manhattan.Well,for the past 2 days,I found magic in nature.Nature can be beautiful.But it can also be...not so magical and a little ...buggy.Now,right after I had taken a long nature walk ,i came inside to Skype my friend Aivy.And all of a suede,I see about 7 bugs crawling  on the wall.And we were in Pennsylvania which is coincidentally ,was the home of the stink bug.So,after we got the stink bugs OUT of the RV , we turn around,and see that the outside of the RV,is completely,covered in stink bugs.So, we had to stay in the RV for about an hour until it got darker out and all of them went away.Then,afar dinner,we took another walk.And this,was one of the most beautiful and family oriented campsites i have ever been in.Everyone was outside in front of a fire talking and playing games and it was great.Now,there is a difference between a few families at a small camps,and a wwhhoollee lot of families at a hhhuuuuggggggeeeee campground.So,at the camp we are at now,there are at least 200 sites at this camp,and i is crawling with kids.Just like at there campground was crawling with stink bugs.Now,I think that you all know that I am in the Rv for 3 months with just my parents,so when I see a huge group of friends hanging out.It really makes me realize...I AM IN AN RV WITH JUST MY PARENTS FOR 3 MONTHS!!!!

The trip I have to say I am liking a whole lot more than I thought I would.But it does get hard sometimes being the only kid.Now I can Skype with my friends and I have been,but there is a trampoline at this campsite and i know that my parents won't even get near it,and trampolines aren't fun when you are all by yourself.So thats one example of a time when i really which i wasn't the only kid.

The one thing I did not except to see on this trip...was a bunch of kids.Like2 I said above this campsite was crawling with kids.And unlike the last campground which is one of my favorite camps so far...this one is my least favorite campground.Its kind like New york,its full of nature....but all of the people are kind of brusk.

Although we have only been here for 2 hours,the best thing so far has been when my dad and I went to throw away the garbage ,and we decided to literally try and trow it away.we grabbed the top of the bag and then threw it right into the dumpster.We were out there for about 10 minutes,when we finally got it in..and by the end,,we had an audience cheering us on.PICTURES!!!!!!!here is a picture of Niagra falls.


MORE PICTURES NEXT TIME.

small towns

Sometimes small towns have the best things.Sometimes they have the best food the best shops,the best anything.but there are also times when small towns are dead ends to lifeless people who enjoy throwing beer cans at you because they don't know what else to do..not to be mean or anything but you know it can happen.For instance,we went to a small town today with the most amazing french restaurant,stores and other things.But an example of a sad little town with not exactly the nicest people in the world,was johnstown.But in johnstown there was an amazing pizza place...but the place was filled with ...lets just say weird people.

This morning in the "weird people town" as we were driving out of town,we saw a lithe fair,and as we were walking around i saw it...a whole booth dedicated to fudge.Man they had some really strange flavors..but they were good.One of the best flavors(although they sound super gross)were the oreo cookie fudge.sounds weird tastes good.

Today we didn't do as much as we normally do but when we were driving it was sssoooo beautiful.There were so many trees.But also,because there has been so much rain the past week or 2.every where you looked...it was flooded.

Well that pretty much sums up my day.... :)







sorry if there are typos

rainy days

What is it about rainy days that makes people feel so warm even though it can be ssssooooooo cold.For some reason,especially when your driving in the RV,it just makes driving long hours ,FUN!

I dont now there is just something about the rain.I have always loved the rain,and driving long hours in the rain lie i just said has this cozy feeling to it.My bed is right above the drivers and passenger seat.And i have my own window and on rainy days turning on the heater making hot chocolate and just sitting up there......is just great.

Breakfast.Breakfast is said to be the most important meal of the day..well its not gonna do much good if the breakfast is sssooo bad that you can barely eat it!!Luckily we had breakfast at like 10 and ate lunch only an hour or 2 later so i wasn't starving of rot long haha.

It has been raining for about 10 days and it just seams like the drive is ssoo much shorter.Although the rain is great for me..its not as great for other people.Wen we were driving to "breakfast"we stopped by this fresh produce stand where there were these amazing apples,but when we asked the farmer where the rest of his produce was,he said that there has been so much rain that it has washed away all of his crops and so he had nothing to make money.

I LOVE RAIN!!!!!!do you love rain?????
