July 14-  So today is the day!  In just a few hours I'll be leaving the house to head to the airport!  How exciting!  I'm really excited.  You know, our summer trips are really what I look forward to every year!  They have just become a huge part of my life.  I love traveling so much.  I was a little sad when we first picked our destination this year and it was New Zealand but due to scheduling issues, that had to be scrapped, although I still plan on going some time soon, I hope!  So then our destination became Florida.  And in all honesty, I was excited but I think I could  have been a little more excited!  I am really excited now, but just think, Florida.  July.  Usually doesn't go good together.  But it is going to be a blast.  When I was coming up with our schedule, I actually tried to make the trip as short I could.  And the Florida part of our schedule is the origanal schedule for this year's trip.  Then when I was looking for flights back to Arizona, most of the cheap flights were on Delta and we would most likely have a layover in Atlanta.  I thought that it would be cool if we had a long layover and my Aunt Vicki could come to the airport for a few hours to hang out.  So I e-mailed her and she said why not stay for a few days!  And so now we are going to Altanta!  Then we had to find flights from Atlanta to Arizona and one night at dinner the topic of why not take the Amtrak train back from Atlanta.  So we looked into it and it said that we would have to stay a night in New Orleans.  And I told Megan if we are going to stop in New Orleans, I want to have more than just a night there.  So Megan checked to see when she had to be back to work and after she got the OK we decided we would stay one day and then come back on the Amtrak train from New Orleans!  Whoa, that sounds exhusting!  It's going to be a blast.  I am really excited about it.  I'm really looking forward to sharing what we are doing on YouTube for everyone to watch and see how it's going!  Well I have to go and update my iPod before I head out, so I will catch you all on the flip side!

July 16- Well hello there!  Today was our first full day out and about in Florida.  First let me tell you what happend yesterday!  We hung out at Ms. Aunt Jenny's house.  I actaully mowed the entire back yard!  I know, I am supposed to be on vacation but it was actually fun.  She has a huge yard. You can see a picture of it right next to here!  Ok so now to today.  Today we went to Cape Canaveral to visit the Kennedy Space Center.  It was really cool.  I remember I went there once when I was really little with my sister and cousin and my Nana and Papa, but now it was different because I actually will remember it.  We went on a VIP tour and it was a lot longer than we excpected it to be.  It was really cool though.  We went to the closest viewing area of the shuttles that you can get to and most people can't get there unless you take this tour.  And then we were at the ISS (International Space Station) building where they build things to go in ISS.  However, as we were about to enter the building a fire exploded inside and everyone was being evacauated.  It was still a great time!  I am just super excited we are here!  Over and out!

July 17- Wow!  So today we went to SeaWorld!  Crazy stuff.  We left around 9 this morning.  It was really cool.  We saw a few shows!  We saw Believe which is a Shamu show!  It was alright, to be honest I was actually disappointed with it.  I mean don't get me wrong it was cool to see and everything but I had a bunch more fun watching Free Willy!  A show we saw that was really cool was Pets Ahoy.  It was cats, dogs, birds, rats, pigs, etc. doing things on stage.  It was really cool.  The highlight of the day however was Backstage with Shamu.  We actually got to eat right next to him and  his tank.  A really cool experience and I recommend it to anyone that goes to SeaWorld.  It was a great day!  I'm so excited to be here.  Tonight we are headed back to SeaWorld to watch a brand new show called Shamu Rocks which will hopefully be the case!  And tomorrow we head to South Florida!  I'm Kyle Aevermann, and out!

We had this view from our table when we dinned with Shamu!
