The next day, we left for Florida. We arrived in Florida two hours later.
In Orlando, we were staying at a campground for RVs. It also has cabins, so we decided to use those.
"We're going to spend the day at Epcot tomorrow," said Mr. Spier.
"I never been there, so that would be fun," said Mary Anne.
"You'll love it. Visiting the countries and seeing fireworks are fun," said Kaylee.
"Our family visit Florida every year, especially while we lived in New York," said Kayla.
"I bet Jessi would have a great day doing that for her birthday," said Dawn.
"Oh, yeah," said Mary Anne.
"I can't wait," I said.
"Same," said Mallory.
The next day, we were up by 8:00 am so we can eat breakfast before taking a bus to Epcot. Mr. Spier and Mr. Thomas get to allow us to go separate ways.
"I figured I'd allow this to take your time since it's Jessi's birthday," said Mr. Thomas.
"Nice. Thanks," I said.
"We can decide where you can go," said Mr. Spier.
"Anywhere is fine with me," I said.
We made a plan to where to meet them that afternoon for the parade.
"Dad and Mr. Thomas wants us to meet them for lunch at a restaurant by 11:30 am," said Mary Anne.
"I remembered they said that," said Kristy.
"Dad said he'll text me to tell me which place we'll be eating at," said Mary Anne.
"Okay," I said.
"That would give us time to go on a few rides before lunch," said Mallory.
"And, we can do shops after lunch," said Mary Anne.
"Like we play games at the fair," said Kayla.
"Exactly," I said.
We went on a few rides until Mr. Spier texted Mary Anne to meet him and Mr. Thomas at a café in the USA.
"We can see the presidents show after lunch there," said Mary Anne.
"Good idea," said Kristy.
We went over to USA for lunch. We all sat together. It was a good meal. Then, the workers wished me a happy birthday. That was nice.
After lunch, we went next door to watch the show about the presidents. That was very cool. We spent most of the afternoon going to shops until it was time to meet Mary Anne and Kristy's fathers for the parade. We had a fun time watching the parade. We stayed for the fireworks and then, we went back to the bus for the campground.
Everyone was tired, so they went to bed right after we got back. I was all excited. A few of us were still wide awake.
"I had a great day today. Thank you," I said.
"No problem," said Mallory.
"I wonder where we would be heading tomorrow," said Kaylee.
"I heard we're going to Daytona Beach to this huge condo," said Kayla.
"I've been there before," said April. "It's an hour from here."
"How is it?" asked Mary Anne.
"Fun," said April. "It has been a long time."
"Really?" I asked.
We talked until we fell asleep an hour later. We were all too excited to sleep
The next day, we were all up getting ready to spend a two days in Daytona Beach. We were all excited to do that. We had breakfast at the campground before we left for Daytona Beach.
"The condo is going to be fun," said Mary Anne.
"Yeah. The best part is that it has a pool inside or we can spend the day on the beach tomorrow. We could have a picnic there," said April.
"Sweet," said Mary Anne.
"I heard it's supposed to rain tomorrow," said Kaylee.
"If it does rain tomorrow, we can use the pool inside as a back-up plan, that's all," said Mary Anne.
"That's true," said April.
"I can't wait to get there," I said.
"Me, either," said Mary Anne.
We got there about an hour later. The traffic was a little heavy because of the road work or an accident. Otherwise, it wasn't too bad.
Since the condo was so big, we all get to share one room while Mr. Spier and Mr. Thomas get the other room.
"There might be a lightening tomorrow, so the pool inside might not be open to keep anyone safe," said Mr. Thomas.
"If you want to do it, you can still spend the day on the beach," said Mr. Spier.
"Sounds like a good idea to me," I said.
"We can go in the pool inside tonight," said Mr. Spier.
"Okay," said Mary Anne.
We all changed up. Mary Anne put on some sunscreen when we got on the beach before we did anything else.
That night, we had pizza delivered in our room. After dinner, we spend an hour in the pool inside. It was the good thing we did that because it was raining the following day with lightening, so pool inside the condo was closed for the day.
"Glad we did that yesterday," said Mary Anne.
"I know," I agreed.
"We could make this a movie day," said Kristy.
"Okay. I like that idea," said April.
"Yeah. I doubt that our dads would go out in this mess. They might wait until tomorrow to do so," said Mary Anne.
"That's true," said Kristy.
"It's supposed to stop before dinner," said Claudia.
Most of us played cards in between movies and we had popcorn while we watched the movies.
That night, it did stop before dinner. It was safe for us to head out for dinner. Mr. Thomas and Mr. Spier took us out for dinner at Joe's Crab Shack. That was good.
"I haven't been there in a long time, either," said April.
It felt great to be out after being stuck in the condo all day, but we didn't care since we had a movie day.
"We plan to have breakfast at Cracker Barrel first thing in the morning before we leave. We plan to spend a few hours in Savannah. Then, we plan to spend a few nights in Atlanta," said Mr. Thomas.
"Okay," said Kristy.
"What time do you plan to leave?" asked Mary Anne.
"Probably early by 7:00 am," said Mr. Spier.
Later, we decided to watch more movies when we got back to the condo. Then, we went to bed by 10:00 pm so we can get up early.
"This feels like more a sleepover party," I said.
"Yes, indeed," said Mary Anne.
We giggled.
