Memorial Day Weekend

Very luckily I did not have to work this weekend. Instead I enjoyed some theme park hopping and a bit of exploring with friends. I have been very fortunate to make such good friends with such great people. Saturday a group of us ventured over to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. Miraculously we hit every major ride at least once without waiting in crazy long lines. We had lapped the Island of Adventure and eaten lunch all before noon. I would like to go back to Universal at some point this summer and go to City Walk. There are a lot of dance clubs and restaurants there, its very similar to Downtown Disney. A fun night out is in the plans at some point. Another miracle that happened this weekend was that I cooked an authentic Italian meal for me and my friends! It was delicious. Mom, you should be proud! Before dinner, yesterday was just a lazy day. Slept in and went to the pool. I'm accruing quite the tan! Today was fun as well. SeaWorld developed a water park called Aquatica in 2008, a few of us went there this morning. Again, no lines! After a shower and some lunch, Adam, one of my neighbors and new friends drove us to Walmart. I felt right at home, when there's nothing to do in NH, head to Wally World! Haha. Adam generously drove his roommate, Joe, around to find an AT&T store and in our travels we stumbled upon Celebration, Fl. It was a quaint little downtown area, that reminded me much of Naples Fl. Just less ritzy! We stopped for Ice Cream and Adam got some Hummus, plus we saw and alligator in the pond! I love gators, thank goodness I had my camera! I wish we had a pond here at the apartments with gators, I think they are such cool animals. As you can see in the photo, he is a little guy, he definitely could have fit in a kiddie pool on my patio! Finally home after that 4 hour adventure to Walmart, having a bite to eat and waiting for The Real Housewives of New Jersey to air. Tomorrow is the first day of work, running the register at Friends of the Wild, (I think before my first day was today, but its really tomorrow.) Goodnight, and don't forget to tune in to Jersey tonight! It's supposed to be a good episode! ;)
