What's up people!!! Cows in traffic here with me, Joseph, as the narrator for this blog. We start our journey as my big sister,Loise, drives me, Ali, Lawrence, and Colton to the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport(DFW) to catch our flight going to Orlando, Florida on Augustfourth 2008. All of us packed and are ready to go, we were all excited to go. As the Fort Worth Airport came into view my sister dropped us off. As we made our way to the pre-departure area to wait for our plane we made sure we had our Airtran tickets that cost $84 each which was a total of $336. As the plane take-off time neared we headed to the plane and gave an attendant our tickets. Soon the plane took off at 7:45 a.m. and we were high in the sky. Ali and I slept most of the time while Lawrence got airsick and Colton got really scared and tried to jump off the plane but then got in trouble by the people who work in the plane and got sent in plane jail for the rest of the ride. On the plane we were served peanuts and Lawrence was very disappointed because he expected more than peanuts, while Colton was relieved to have some food because he was scared of plane jail. As we arrived in Orlando, Florida at 11:20 a.m. all of us dashed out of the airplane except for Colton who was checked to see if he had anything dangerous with him and got off the plane thirty minutes after us. Colton was relieved to inhale fresh air again and also be back on the ground.
Colton, Lawrence, Joseph and Ali all waited for Lynx bus 111 that picked us up at 12:00p.m. We bought tickets for $4 each wich was a total of $16. We now have $352 as the total number of money we had spent so far. While waiting for the bus to arrive we ate some mashed potatoes that Lawrence had saved from the last time we ate them, and played my ishoot on my ipod touch for ten minutes. When the bus finally arrived we all climbed in. Once we were all inside the vehicle both Colton and Joseph wanted to sit next to the window and started arguing. While Colton and Joseph were arguing Lawrence and Ali were eating sweet and sour chicken that Lawrence got from his bag, yeah, I know it's weird but it can also be useful when you get hungry and there is nowhere to eat, so when I got bored I pushed Colton and Joseph out the window of the bus. Lawrence, who still had their Lunches pulled them back into the vehicle right before the bus left the station. Once Colton and Joseph got back in the bus Joseph snatched Lawrence 's lunch and threw it out the window to watch it get run over when Colton got Ali's lunch and ate it in front of him. After about thirty minutes of riding the bus we arrived at Disney World. Once we had been dropped off by the bus we went over to the
Best Western Hotel and checked into the deluxe guest room that holds up to five people we booked online for three nights that costs $95.20 for one night and $87.20 the other two. So with everything from the plane ride to the hotel costs we spent a total of $621.60 so far. Soon we got our "Magic your way tickets" that lets us go to any park once a day for the specific amount of days. The tickets we bought were three day tickets that cost $54.75 per day so you have to multiply that by the number of days you are staying(it depends on the kind of magic your way tickets you get) and then multiply your product by the number of people in your group. So in our case it is 54.75x3x4 which equals $657.00 . When we arrived in our room we put our stuff down. Then went out to get breakfast, just to let you know the hotel we stay in provides us free transportation so we don't have to pay, so we went to breakfast in a place called Cantina de San Angel. In the place I got a Cantina Burrito which cost $8.50, Lawrence got a Taco al Carbon which cost $8.50, and both Colton and Joseph got Cantina Nachos which cost $8.25 each, and we all got juice for $3.00 so our total was $45.50. After breakfast we went to the Seas with nemo and friends pavilion and took the Seas with nemo and friends ride where we went in a thing called the "clamobile" and went underwater and looked at animations of characters from "finding Nemo" such as Nemo and Dory. We saw things like shipwrecks and MILLIONS of fishes of every color there are also tropical reefs in the 5.7 million salt water tank. After the ride we went to the Turtle talk with Crush show where we all talked with Crush and asked him questions, Colton even asked him if he liked cows.After the show we went to the Circle of Life show where we were told by Timon,Pumbaa,and Simba how to keep our planet safe, Colton watched but learned nothing, Lawrence and Joseph learned a lot and I fell asleep because I got bored. After the show the time was about 1:00p.m so we decided we still had some time before lunch. We went to the Test Track pavilion and took a ride on a car that can go up to 60 miles per hour through a terrifying fast ride where we go up steep terrain and go up three stories high and go downhill extremely fast and go through sharp turns and environmental chambers of heat and cold 100 degrees apart, and after that you face robots that spray water at you and at last, at the end you rush at a crash barrier and dodge it just in time! Before heading to lunch,Joseph,Lawrence,Colton, and I went to the Yong Feng Shangdian gift shop and bought some stuff, Colton and I got children pajamas that cost $36 each, Joseph got the medium sized jackets for 50$, and Lawrence got a large jacket that cost $58. We went to
lunch in the Nine Dragons Restaurant where they serve Chinese cuisine.I got vegetarian stir-fry for $14.68, Joseph got sweet and sour pork for $13.98, Colton got Kung Pao Chicken for $15.98, and Lawrence got Fragrant five-spiced fish for $21.98, we all got coke for $2 each, and all of us got ice cream for $3.98, which made a total of $90.54. After lunch we went to the Epcot Spaceship Earth attraction where we had a lot of fun and also learned about earth.Now, we've spent $1611.64 so far. So after lunch we went to the attraction called "Honey I Shrunk the Audience" where you watch a movie and the cool thing is that it is 4-D, the experience might not be for little kids because the 4-D might frighten them and that is why Colton did not want to go there. After that we went to Ellen's energy adventure and got to go through many adventures with Bill Nye the Science Guy and Ellen DeGeneres and learn about energy, it was fun for all of us and we also learned, which is weird. After that we went to a place called Mission: Space, where we got to go through a space simulator ride and experience things an astronaut might feel in space. The bad thing was we all got space sick and became nauseous except for Lawrence because he ate the most and he began to.... never mind. Anyway, we had a lot of fun too. Then we went to get dinner at a Jappanese restaurant called Teppan Edo where I got Asakusa for $29.00, Lawrence got Hotate for $20.00, Ali got Ebi for $23.00, Colton got Filet Mignon for $29.00, and we all got soda for $3 each spending a total of $113.00. After the meal we went to the China Pavilion and learned about Chinese things and we also saw many gardens where we played tag. Last but not least for our last activity in Epcot we went to Innoventions where we did a lot of things like making music with robots and also slamming and crushing stuff which was cool! So after that we went back to our hotel and settled in. Soon we were all asleep and excited for the next day.

So after that we went back to our hotel and settled in. Soon we were all asleep and excited for the next day.So the next day Colton, Joseph,Lawrence, and I got ready to go to the Typhoon Lagoon! The Typhoon Lagoon is a huge water park with many cool things to do. So in the morning, Joseph woke up first and was already ready to go, then I woke up and then after a couple of minutes Lawrence and Colton woke up. Soon we were all ready and headed to the Typhoon Lagoon to have breakfast. We got our awesome breakfast at Surf Doggies, Joseph had the soft pretzel for $3.29, I had the hot dog for $3.99, Colton had the nachos & cheese for $3.49, and Lawrence had the Assorted Chips for $2.39, and we all got orange juice for $2.50 each which made a total of $23.16. Once we were done eating we ignored the rule about "waiting a while before going in water when you just ate" and headed straight to for the ride called the Crush'n'Gush. The ride Crush 'n' Gusher is a roller coaster like ride which is really fast and cool, there are 3 different kinds of "rafts" to ride on, they are the Banana Blaster, Coconut Crusher, and the Pineapple Plunger. I picked the Coconut Crusher, Joseph picked the Pineapple Plunger
and both Lawrence and Colton picked the Banana Blaster, we all rode on separate rafts and were all soaked at the end of the ride but the bad thing was that our stomachs didn't fell really good and we all thought our breakfast was coming back up but luckily none of us threw up and learning our lesson from the "rule" we waited a while sitting on a bench until we headed off to our next funtertaining water ride: the Keelhaul Falls. The Keelhaul Falls ride is a ride where you ride on an inner-tube and go down a hill called Mount Mayday and pass caverns and waterfalls and then make a big splash on a little pool at the bottom. All of us rode it and had a lot of fun. After that we went to our next ride called Humunga Kowabunga! We were all eager and couldn't wait so we took the short hike up Mount Mayday, the hike was very baaaaaaaaaaaaad and we were all out of breath once we got to the ride. But! It was worth it because the ride was AWESOME! We went down a 214-foot water slide super fast in the dark going too fast to see where we are going. The ride was so cool and after that we were all starving and went to Typhoon Tilly's, I got a chicken wrap for $7.29, Joseph got chicken tenders for $6.69, Colton got fish and chips for $6.89, Lawrence got a BBQ pork sandwich for $7.49, and we all got water for $2 each which made a total of $36.36. After we ate, we all sat down for a while knowing the little teeny tiny incident before we went to the Castaway Creek and got an inner tube and flowed down a 2,000 foot-long river going through many things which include waterfalls as you relax and float. All of us went and relaxed on the relaxing ride.......... and it was FUN!!! After that we went to Gang Plank Falls which is a ride where you go on a HUGE circular inner tube raft and go down a mountain at high speed passing cool rock formations and waterfalls and yes,again, it was COOL!!! So next we went to the Storm Slides! In the ride we went down a 3-story high body slide and passed through waterfalls and and waterways and at the end we plunged down to a pool at the bottom. Next, we went to Arctic Dots for a snack, I got chocolate ice cream, Joseph got a banana split, Lawrence got vanilla ice cream ,Colton got mint chocolate chip ice cream, and we all got bottled water for $2.00 each, and the ice cream cost $3.75 each, which made a total of $23.00. After our snack we walked to the Surf Pool as our last but longest activity in Typhoon Lagoon. The Surf Pool was awesome! We played in the huge pool for a long time and there were high waves and deep pools. There was everything! There was also the time when Joseph pushed Ali into a shallow 3 feet pool and "drowned" and then Lawrence jumped in and tried to save him but started to "drown" himself while Colton ran away screaming. We played in the water for a long time, we went on slides,we swam a lot, and Colton almost drowned. After that we went to Lowtide Lou's where we all got chicken wraps for $5.79 each and lemonade for $3.00 each, spending a total of $35.16. But sadly, after we ate, it was time to go back to our hotel and rest. But we had fun!!!!!!!!

But sadly, after we ate, it was time to go back to our hotel and rest. But we had fun!!!!!!!! The next day Joseph and I woke up and both of us were excited because we were going to Disney Resorts Animal Kingdom!!!!! Both of us were excited so we smacked Colton and Lawrence with a pillow to wake them up and get ready. So once we were all ready we headed off to Animal Kingdom to get breakfast at the Kusafiri Coffee Shop where I got a sticky bun for $2.50 and orange juice for $2.40,Joseph got a brownie for $2.40 and coffee for $1.90 , Lawrence got a chocolate chip muffin for $2.30 and also coffee for $1.90, and Colton got a sugar cookie for $1.80 and hot cocoa for $1.70, we spent a total of $16.90. So next we went to Kids discovery clubs and went on scavenger hunts, reconstructed dinosaur bones, and much more. We had a lot of fun. After that we went Affection Section which is a petting zoo. We got to pet, brush and even feed the animals! The animals we saw were llamas, chickens, sheep, and goats. We had a lot of fun except for when a goat started chasing us and we had to run out and the goat had HORNS!!! After the very dangerous petting zoo we went to the "Bone yard." At the Bone yard we got to go through a maze and ride down slides. There was also a stone wall and when you knock on it it would make noise. There was also a cool little jeep that you could ride and actually drive. There was also a place where you could excavate the ground and find dinosaur bones of either a Tyrannosaurus Rex, a Triceratops, or even a woolly mammoth. All of us excavated and I found a lot of T-Rex bones while Colton and Ali found Triceratops bones and Lawrence found Woolly Mammoth bones. There were also tunnels and doorways and also open crates that you could explore. We all explored and had fun and after that we went to the Cretaceous Trail. The Cretaceous Trail is a trail where plants all the way from the prehistoric times still lived and thrived. The plants were big and there were many different kinds of plants and they were many different shapes and sizes. There was also a giant Pachycephalosaurus dinosaur............but I'm sorry its fake. After the Trail we went to the thrill ride "Dinosaur." In the ride you go back 65 million years back in time on a time machine and you have a mission: To get the Iguanodon dinosaur and not get caught by the dreaded Carnotaurus all before the meteor that would hit the earth a few minutes after the time you arrive. On the ride it was dark sometimes and a little scary but it was terrifying for Colton. We saw many dinosaurs and at the end found the Iguanodon and towed back in the future with one second before the meteor hit and barely escaping the horrible, ugly, bad, sharp, long, hard, scary teeth of the Carnotaurus. It was fun, and a little scary, and also weird, and very dark. After that we went to Dino-Sue, Dino-Sue is a T-Rex skeleton that is four stories tall and one of the most completed dinosaur skeleton with over ninety percent completed. But sadly, the one in Disney World is only a replica, the real one is in Chicago, Illinois. After looking at the big, but fake, Dino-Sue we went to the Camp Minnie-Mickey Greeting Trail where people can get autographs of famous Disney characters. Luckily Colton got perfect little signing books and even better he got four of them. So all of us got autographs of many Disney characters and it was really fun. We also had a digital camera and took a lot of pictures. The good thing though...... I mean the bad thing was that Colton fainted when he saw Minnie Mouse and fainted for a few minutes. But when he woke up he saw Mickey Mouse and started to beat him up........soooooo we got kicked out from that place but luckily we got alot of photos and autographs. After that we went to lunch where I got Maple Tamarind Chicken for $19.00 and Coke for $3.00, Ali got Lo Mein for $18.00 and Fanta for $3.00, Colton got Tempura Shrimp for $20.00 and Sprite for $3.00, and Lawrence got Sweet and Sour Chicken for $16.00 and Sprite for $3.00. We spent a total of $85.00. After eating we went to Discovery Island Trails where we went through trails and cave-like tunnels where we saw alot of animals, Colton even saw a Capybara which is the world's largest rodent and he tried to touch it but it got frightened and tried to bite him but he moved his finger just in time and ran away out the trails but he accidentaly knocked down Lawrence and got him angry so he ran after Colton and left me and Ali to go through the trail and once we got out we found Colton in a headlock by Lawrence but soon they stopped and we went to the roller-coaster Expedition Everest. We road it and ended up dizzy but it was fun, there were twists and turns and also a time when there was a dead end and we went backward and also we saw a Yeti which looked really scary but cool! After the fun ride we went to the Kali River Rapids where we rode upon a 12-passenger circular raft and go through a 90 feet of rivers and rainforests. In the ride we got SOAKED, thee were times when it was dark and there were little drops and also at the end there was an awesome thirty foot waterfall and huge geysers! Colton though, did not enjoy because he got wet and he didn't want to get wet, he didn't know even though there was a big sign saying "Passengers of This Ride Will get WET!" So next we went to the Maharajah Jungle Trek where we got to see cool animals of Asia! Yes, Asia, the place where I came from, there were many things, there were tigers, deer, rare birds, komodo dragons, and many more. There were over 50 species of animals there. After the Trek we went to the Pangani Forest Exploration Trail where there were many different animals too. At the first part od the trail we saw Stanley Cranes, the rare Okapi, and Yellow backed Duikers who Colton thought looked funny. Then, we entered a hut where we saw a colony of naked mole rats that looked cool! Next, we went to an Aviary with many African birds where one bird landed on my arm and another on Colton's head. Fourthly, we went to see hippos in underwater viewing glass. And then, we went to a place with meerkats and Ali and Lawrence thought they looked like me........ so I put "kick me signs on their back. Then for the last part of the trail we saw a troop of lowland gorillas and thought we actually saw one that resembled Lawrence. He got mad at us when Colton told him so we ran for a few minutes then we stopped to see where we were gong to next. We decided to go to the Primeval Whirl roller-coaster where there were sharp turns and our ride spun around going really fast. And the good thing was that your Time Machine cart goes different routes everytime you go on it so you won't get bored of the ride, that is why we rode it 4 times. After the coaster we went to The Tree of Life which was 14 stories tall and 50 feet wide, it was HUGE! There we walked around the tree and there were over 325 animals carved on the bark and they looked really real that Colton got very scared that instead of running away from the tree he ran towards it and started to climb it which got us kicked out of that area too, but at least we got kicked out after we were at the tree for a good amount of time. After the Tree Of Life we were all starving so we went to Flame Tree Barbeque for dinner where I got Smoked 1/2 Chicken for $9.50 and Minute Maid Frozen Lemonade for $3.00, Lawrence got a Fruit Plate for $7.00 and Coke for $2.40, Ali got a smoked Turkey Breast Sandwich for $8.10 and Nestle Hot Cocoa for $1.70, and Colton got Smoked 1/2 Chicken for $9.50 and Sprite for $2.40, and also all of us got chocolate cake for $3.60, adding all that up we spent a total of $58.00. After eating we went to our last thing for the day the Kilimanjaro Safaris, there we rode on an open sided vehicle and drove through the Harambe Animal Reservation Area where these species of animals lived: Antelope, Baboon, Black Rhino, Cheetah, Crocodile, Elephant, Flamingo, Gazzelle, Giraffe, Hippopotomus, Lion, Meerkat, Okapis, Ostrich, Warthog, White Rhino, Wilderbeest, and the Zebra. We think we saw all of them while we were riding and we also saw four unusual things, a baby cheetah, Colton thought that was cool, a lion eating a zebra, Lawrence thought that was cool, a Warthog talking to a meerkat, I thought that was cool and strangely familiar and a baboon riding an elephant, which Ali thought was cool. There is also a part in that attraction when a tour guide tells us a baby elephant has been caught by poachers and we had to save it and that was fun too............... and don't worry the being caught by poachers thing is fake, people just act like the poachers. Sadly, that was our last thing to do that day so we went back to our hotel to get some rest. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you that from the plane tickets to righ at this point we spent a total of $2002.22
I woke up and found everyone asleep so I pushed Colton, hit Ali with a pillow, and also pushed Lawrence. Once they were ready we went to Hollywood Studios in Disney World! So our first thing to do was go and eat breakfast at Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater. There Joseph and Colton got a Smoked Turkey Sandwich for $11.00 each and Ali and Lawrence got Chicken Ceasar Salad for $13.00 each and we all got Orange Juice for $3.80 each, which made a total of $63.20. After breakfast we went to the "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" Movie Set Adventure and it was awesome! Everything was oversized and it felt like we shrunk, Colton thought we actually did shrink, there were 52-feet leaking water hose, there were 40-foot tall bumblebees, and also 30-foot tall blades of grass! It was cool. After playing in the set for a while we went to the Star Wars Jedi Training Academy where they pick 25 people from the audience to learn the way of the Jedi. Luckily, all four of us got picked and were trained, Ali and I got trained by Yoda, Lawrence got trained by Luke, and Colton got trained by Mace Windu because he has a purple lightsaber. Then suddenly storm troopers and Darth Vader came and all of the picked people fought them and Colton defeated Darth Vader!!!!!!!!!????? After the battle we went to the Studio Backlot Tour where we got to see how special effects were made and also some people got to reenact a battle with the special effects. It was really fun! After the tour we went to the Lights,Motors,Action! Extreme Stunt Show and it was cool!!! We saw awesome stunts there were tires squealing, brakes screeching, there was also a time when a motorcycle went through a ring of fire and it was cool, there was also a time when cars hurdled over trucks and fireballs also flew 40 feet and got really close to us........and it was FUN!!! A stunt man also fell off a 5-story bell tower and survived, there was also another stunt man and it looked like it was engulfed in FIRE!!! It really looked like he was burning. After the awesome stunt show we went to the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith which we rode. We rode on a "car" and saw Disneyworld upside down and Colton said all the blood was rushing to his head and he felt weird. But the ride was fun anyway. After the coaster we went to Star Tours where we rode on a "starspeeder" and and had a tour. In the ride our driver "droid took the wrong turn so Colton threw him out the window and so we went through the galaxy and saw the Star Destroyer and even the Death Star. After the tour we went to The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror where we went on an "elevator" and went up and down really fast and it was cool. People say the elevator hsas a mind of it's own so evry time is different........SCARY!!! After the scary ride we went to the place called Walt Disney:One Man's Dream, there we saw many things of Walt Disney and they were cool, Colton also started to bow down to a picture of Disney and kept on saying I am not worthy. But soon we dragged him out and we went to go eat lunch at the Backlot Express where I got Chicken Strips for $7.00, Ali got a Double Cheese Burger for $7.10, Lawrence got Grilled Turkey and Cheese for $7.00, Colton got a Hot Dog for $6.00 and we all got bottled water for $1.25 each where we spent a total of $32.10. After lunch we went to Character Greetings Around Disney's Hollywood Studios Theme Park where we got autographs of many villains and heroes in Disney and at least this time Colton did not rampage and we got a lot of photos too. After Autographs it was alredy dark so since it was our last day and we were going at night we went to see our last activity in Disney World: Fantasmic!!!! We went to watch as Mickey and friend gather and do a play with fireworks and other cool stuff as Mickey and friends defeat the evil villans with the power of IMAGINATION!!! When the show was done we sadly walked back to our hotel, packed up, and left the great Disney World forever........ but we still had the next day to enjoy so we headed off to see the city. We left on a red Nissan Sentra that cost us $53.09 per day(we rented it for 2 days so that would be a total of $106.18) and left to go to Ripley'sBelive It Or Not where the entry cost cost $21.00 each so we payed a total of $84.00 and there were lots of weird things like shrunken heads and 2 headed animals it's there. We had a lot of fun there and after that we went to dinner because we stayed in the museum for 2 hours so thats not bad. We then went to get dinner at the Canton Restaurant where I got Lemon Chicken for $6.00, Lawrence got Kung Po Chicken for $6.00, Colton got BBQ Pork for $4.00, Ali got Crab Rangoon for $3.00, and we all got soda for $1.00 each spending a total of $23.00. After eating it was late so we headed out to find a hotel. It took a while but we found a good hotel which was Rosen Centre Hotel and we checked in and their admission was 169 dollars per day and it was a good thing we were only staying for 1 day. So we unpacked, checked in, got in our room which sleeps up to 4 people and went to bed........actually we went to the Jacuzzi they had first then went to bed.
The next day all of us woke up and got ready to go, we also packed up since we weren't coming back and checked out of the hotel and went to go get breakfast at the Breakfast Club where I got Sunshine Scramble for $8.00, Lawrence got a Day Break Burrito for $8.00, Colton got Biscuits and Gravy for $8.25, Ali got Country Fried Steak and Eggs for $8.00, and we all got Hot Chocolate for $2.05 each spending a total of $40.45. After breakfast we went to Putting Edge Glow-in-the-Dark Mini Golf where you play in dim light and have fun. We all got the "Birdie" fee which was $9.35 per person which gave you golfing and a glow bracelet. We played for a long time and we had fun and we played 4 rounds and we all won one. We stayed there for about an hour and when we were done it was about 12:00 a.m. So next we went to the World Bowling Center. There it was $4.00 per person per game and $3.00 for shoes so we multiplied 4 and 3 by 4 and added the products together. So our total cost would be $28.00. But we played 3 games so we had to add $32 to $28 so our real total would be $60. WE played alot and I won twice and Ali won once but we all had fun and Colton kinda hurt his foot by dropping a bowling ball on his foot but he was all right. After the fun bowling games we went to get lunch at Morton's where I got a Grilled Chicken Breast for $21.00, Colton got a Chicken Piccata for $21.00, Ali got Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes for $45.00, Lawrence got a Prime Rib French Dip Sandwich for $26.00 and we all got soda for $3.00 each, which makes a total of $125.00. After eating it was about 3:30p.m so we went to Regal Cinemas Stadium 20+ IMAX Theatre. There we watched Monsters vs. Aliens in 3D where Colton ran up to the wall and went splat because he was trying to touch the Aliens. After the show Colton wanted to see the Hannah Montana Movie and we didn't want to but he brought out his Unicorn BLANKY and forced us to watch and we hated it. And at the end it turned out to be a magical experience and that Colton was staring at Hannah Montana the whole time and we all learned that the power of friendship is the best! By the way, each movie was $20 per person so since we watched 2 movies that would be $160. After the Imax it was already about 7:00 p.m and it was dark and almost time to leave for our flight which left at 10:30 p.m. So we went to Jardins Restaurant for dinner where I got Seafood Cassolette, Lobster Sauce, Cheese "Au Gratin" all for $23.90, Lawrence got Pork Tenderloin for $24.90, Ali got Grilled Beef Sirloin And Homemade Mushroom Sauce all for $25.90, Colton got Delicacy For Vegetarian for $21.90 and we all got Chocolate Mousse for $5.50 each and we all got soda for $3 each. After that we started to drive around the city spending a total of $3,016.15 on the whole Oralndo trip. After the delicious french cuisine we drove around the city before going to the airport and leave. Colton even cried and called them his "eye allergies" but we were all sad to leave but the view was very cool and there were fountains and lights everywhere we didn't want to leave. But it is just the beginning of our journey! So soon time to go was nearing and we headed to the airport and dropped off our car for it to be picked up, got our bags, and went to our terminal. Oncour plane arrived we went to it and headed off, very sad to leave.....but it is just the beginning!!! So just to remind you we spent a total of $3,016.15.
