it was nice to get away from everything, st augustine was amazing, the lighthouse was amazing. i never thought id get to stand in the illegid haunted lighthouse. i was reliving the episode of ghost hunters on the way to the top and back down to the bottom.
however, orlando was somewhat.. annoying, in my opinion. gimmicks at every street corner, ridiculous tourist attractions, a little too over the top. nonetheless, i had fun. we most dined at all-you-can-eat buffets, and walked the streets. even got to see the space shuttle launch. saturday was the big day for sea world. all of the animals were so cute, of course i saved shamu for last. i had a breakdown for a few minutes and cried. it hard to describe how i felt at that moment, but coming so close to something im so afraid of was overwhelming. but i did it! and theyre not so bad afterall. i cant say im totally over my fear, but im a little more comfortable with them. tilikum was the "shamu" of the show, hes too big to really perform with trainers, so they use him to splash everyone, besides who would honestly want to swim with the one whos already killed 2 people. but hes my favorite for some reason.
and john, thanks so much for doing that for me. you don't know how much it meant.
