Disney's Animal Kingdom then Parkhopping to Epcot!

I personally love Epcot but Evan likes Animal Kingdom, so we went to both in the same day! You're probably thinking "bless them, how did they do it?" It wasn't bad at all. It was hot, yes, but we managed to enjoy ourselves just fine. We went to Animal Kingdom and tried to finish all the rides as quick as we can. Of course the first ride we go on breaks down and we end up stuck on the ride for 30 minutes taking selfies. On a different note, Animal Kingdom is one of those parks you can't rush through. Don't just speed and not even enjoy the animals. Look at the giraffe, and look at him good. Anyways, We chose to really embrace the nature side of it and not just the ride aspect of the park and I feel as though that's why we enjoyed it so much. When we jumped to Epcot we got to relax a bit more. We ate Moroccan food later on and went on a motion simulator ride called "Mission Space" afterwards. BIG MISTAKE. I was sick for the rest of the night. Learn from this people.

Pretending We're Gymnasts at Airheads Trampoline Arena

For Evan's 19th birthday I took him to Airheads. I honestly didn't know what to expect. We went pretty early around 10-11am and...IT WAS SO FUN! I ended up hurting my thigh and he ended up hurting his back, but hey, that means you're having a good time right? We managed to jump for hours, chasing each other from trampoline to trampoline and even playing some trampoline basketball. Around 3 it started getting packed with kids, so if you're older it's best to either go early, at night since they close at 11, or during the week. Not only was it an awesome time though, it was a great workout. We treated ourselves to a nice burger afterwards because we deserved it. PUMPED!

Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum Orlando

Ripley's was very interesting and unusual. We saw everything from shrunken heads,authentic vampire killing kits, human and animal oddities, optical illusions, and very detailed sculptures (great to take pictures with). It's better when you actually "read" the facts that go along with the different sculptures or else you can breeze through the museum and it won't be as fun. At the end of the museum they had a spinning colorful vortex that you walk through. It's a pretty neat place and should be experienced at least once.

WHAT WE WERE FOR HALLOWEEN 2013

We sat for a while discussing what to be and Evan actually thought about it. WHY NOT BE NERD BOXES. At first I looked at him like he was a cornball of a boyfriend, but after thinking about, why not? So we worked every chance we got on our costume and after much dedication, it was finished! On the back of the boxes we wrote ingredients (sappy cheesy ingredients) including, love, patience,compassion, time and all the things needed in a relationship. I must say it was very corny but a cute corny.For halloween we walked around Downtown Disney which was crowded with people on every corner. Every two seconds we were stopped, pointed at, taken pictures with, and "awww'd at." Our costume for Halloween 2014 has to top this one. Let the thinking begin!

Making a Pizza Heart

Our pizza was made like any other pizza: dough, pepperoni, sauce...but while we were struggling to form the dough into a circle that looked more like a continent, it was Evan's idea to make it into a heart! You'd think it was harder to make a heart but we took the time to make it look as nice as possible. In the end, (after 30 minutes of playing with dough) it looked like a heart! It was a fun little project to do and we had time to laugh and make lunch at the same time! It was fun to eat that's for sure.

Failing so bad at Bowling- KINGS Bowling Alley Orlando

This bowling alley had a dark surrounding with suave lights everywhere that really made everything glow! We ordered an appetizer of nacho's, those things took up the whole table. We bowled, played a little bit of shuffle board, and ended our night with some intense ping pong matches. This place was great but does get packed, and when it's packed, it's hard to get a spot with the extras (ping pong, shuffleboard, pool tables). We went on one of those packed nights, and didn't get a chance to play pool, so maybe bowling in the afternoon would be less busy. It's something that we haven't experienced. We've bowled before but this alley was just...cool!

Trying Thai Food at NaraDeva Thai Restaurant

This place was so nice. We both agreed that the atmosphere was both relaxing and inviting, a key to a good restaurant atmosphere in our book. Not only was the food brought out fast, it was tasty too! The plates weren't sad or lacking, their was enough food to leave you feeling like you needed a to-go box. Overall the service was friendly and the food was great. It's a perfect place if you want a nice, calm date and we'd definitely visit again!
