So, I've been back for almost a week and I'm finally getting around to talking about my vacation. And I only have a few pictures to put up, sorry, Aaron and I are both horrible at picture taking. It's quite sad actually.
Our first couple days we stayed in Orlando. I knew it was going to be interesting when Aaron and I were walking around and we saw a sign informing us not to swim in the water because alligators were present. We actually saw one sunning himself on the golf course. I think it's kind of weird when you know that something is dangerous, it just makes you want to touch it more. At least, I do.
I don't have any pictures from our first couple of days in Orlando, so sorry, no swim suit shots, because we spent one of the days in Blizzard Beach, which I highly recommend. I also recommend vacationing in April. There were hardly any crowds, and the weather was bee-yoot-ee-full (that's my pathetic attempt of trying to special beautiful phonetically).
We drove to Ft. Lauderdale, and not even kidding were right across the street from the beach. I could look out my window and see the beach (thanks Lizz and Nick for the great hotels, and thank you Marriott). Aaron and I spent every night on the beach, I know, so sweet and romantic and slightly cheesy.
Ft. Lauderdale also gave us the chance to take our very first pictures! We took an airboat out on the Everglades. I thought we were only going to see a couple of alligators, but we saw tons! Plus, the tour that we went on had a little restaurant next to it, that served gator tail and frog legs (I felt like the ultimate hick there). And then, I was informed by a man from Boston that frog legs taste better than chicken and gator tail tastes like pork. After which, he holds up a little frog skeleton with the meat picked clean off the little legs. As if that's going to convince me to eat it.
We drove back to Orlando to finish out the vacation and Aaron & I headed to Sea World. On a sidenote: Don't go and see Shamu, unless you want to feel like you're worshipping a killer whale and are stuffed full of cheese. But the dolphin show was cool, even if it did emphasize too much that anyone can achieve their dreams.
Sorry about the crink in your neck. I can't figure out how to rotate the picture. But Aaron gives great massages! This was taken right after a ride on Sea World, that's why I look terrible. I'm wet.
My favorite was the penguins, especially the baby ones. I always want one. The manatees were HUGE! I had no idea they were so fat. Dolphins were cool. I was proud of myself for touching one, but I couldn't get myself to touch a stingray. Or feed them. Gross. And who's going to pay $7.00 for 5 sardines? What a rip-off.
See! You want one too
