Mood: happy
Listening to: otis playing with a piece of paper

So we just spent the rest of the day shopping. We also went into Ripley's Believe it or not! Museum as well as a 4D motion theater:

That is me standing beside the world's tallest man in Ripley's Believe It or Not! Mahahahah!

This is us in the 4D theater. We had to wear those funky glasses. Water shot in our faces and everything during that movie! it was hilarious! I look like Im getting ready to bite someone in this picture. Mahahah!

 

After all of the shopping we went to a restaurant called "Cheeseburger In Paradise" and it was delicious! I'll have to get their link and post it. Im mainly doing this entry to show y'all some pictures. I'll be doing a "real" entry soon with more words and stuff. lol! After dinner we came back and got in the hot tub. It felt great. Want proof?

Evidence.

 

Because we got up so early and stuff, we went to bed around 10 or 11pm. We got up the next day and I only had a black and whtie camera left so the rest of these are going to be in black and white. Sorry. We went to a place called Broadway at the Beach. It had a Hard Rock Cafe and TONS of shops.

Before we left for Broadway on the Beach. I love this picture of Steve.

 

The ocean before we left. It was kinda dark out and it was only in the upper 60's. So it was too cold to swim in the ocean. :(

 

Me standing on the boardwalk at broadway on the beach. They had a huge lake built there and they built the shops all around this lake. The lake also had ducks and fish that you could feed. there were tons of restaurants and everything.

Looking across the lake. That big circle like place in the middle is a seafood resaurant. Each restaurant has a deck [as you can see on the right side] where you can sit and eat. It's beautiful. There's a fountain in the middle of the lake, too. You can also take them canoe rides like they do in Italy. Miss Jackie woulda just loved it! Ya'll know what I'm talkin about right? Those really long canoes where the guy sings and paddles you across the water. Those.

 

This is another view. Tchocky: you woulda loved these shops. They had *EVERYTHING* They even had an entire store dedicated to 70's, 80's, and 90's bands and I saw bagillions of Radiohead stuff. From T-shirts to those metal lunch boxes to pens and paper. Everything! The silver and gold is super cheap here too. I just got me 2 new silver rings. LOVE THEM!

 

That is a picture of the steak house. Delcious, I must say!

 

This is a picture of all of the shops. Just pretend those buildings are painted different colors and they're pastel. There are Christmas lights hanging and twinlking different colors. Each striped thingy is a different shop. There were tons. That was just one little section.

 

Told you there was a Hard Rock Cafe. It was on "celebrity circle" on Broadway at the Beach. :)

 

We also went to Ripley's Aquarium and that was so neat. I took a lot more pictures but don't have them downloaded yet. Mahhaha! Sorry! I do have some of the sharks that were swimming over us. What you do, incase you have no idea what thsi Aquarium place is... You pay a bagillion dollars. You go into this HUGE place. They have a manmade salt water HUGEMONGUS lake/ocean thingy. Well, at the bottom of it is like a hallway that's kinda rounded and there's glass from your waist up, even on top. So you can see the fish, sharks, eel, stingrays, turtles, craps, starfish, etc. It is really neat. Here's a couple pictures from there.

 

Not sure if that is the same shark, but the bottom one swam directly over my head so i just looked straight up and took a picture in hopes it would turn out cause the flash was reflecting off of the glass. Man I miss my digital camera. :(

 

That's all of the pictures I have uploaded right now. There will be more, I assure you. I just wanted ya'll to see what all we did. Oh, after we left Broadway at the Beach we went back to the hotel and swam in the pool and hot tubs, yanno the normal stuff. We also went for a walk on the beach and night and we'd sit out there at night on our blanket for awhile and just be. We went seashell hunting and everything. I'll just post these last few pictures of me and Steve for ya'll to see then I gotta get all of this stuff unpacked and these clothes washed! Sheesh!

 

 

alright, i'll be making a post within a few days of the stuff we bought [for tchocky] and all of the crazy things that happened on the trip to and from and probably some more pictures. :) Hope ya'll enjoy!
