Florida was a lot of fun. We did tons of stuff. Firstly, we were planning on going earlier than we did, but we wanted more time at home to see friends, and the hurricane was there. There’s no point of going to Florida when it would be raining all day. Instead of the first three days of our trip, we had friends over, and I made an enormous leaf pile. When I jumped in it, it almost felt like foam. It was super slippery. After we had friends over and jumped into the pile, we got ready to go on Friday. We left at around 8 am, my dad and I got allergy shots, then drove to O’Hare international airport. Once at the airport, we went to the United Club and got breakfast. We boarded the plane, then I found out that we were sitting first class. My parents explained that it is because if we didn’t sit first class, we would have to sit with 2 people sitting alone separate from the others. When we got to Florida, we went to the rental car place and (finally) didn’t have any trouble. We went to the house and looked around. I picked out a room with a king size bed. Hailey and Brooke were fighting over the Star Wars room, even though it had 4 beds. The other cool room was a frozen-themed room. Alisa slept in a castle. Also, the pantry was hidden. There was even a hidden room with a slide! The slide wasn’t designed too well and there was a straight drop at a part. The second day of Florida we pretty much swam and played in the house. I did school on that Saturday because we were going to the Kennedy Space Center on Monday. We played scrabble on a giant scrabble board. On the third day, we pretty much did the same thing as the day before, except that in the morning my dad and I played pickleball and mini golf. Also, that night, my grandparents got to the house. I also set the pop-a-shot record. I had to climb on it though. To be fair, the old record wasn’t humanly possible, even if they made every shot. The fourth day we went to the Kennedy Space Center. It was a long drive, but once we got there it was worth it. We saw all sorts of cool stuff, and even got to meet a real astronaut! His name is Winston Scott, and we all got pictures and he signed them. After the space center, we got back and enjoyed the rest of the day. On Tuesday, my parents went to a conference and my grandparents watched us. It was another day of swimming. On the last day, we had friends over. Their names are Chip, David, and Eva. Their parents also went to the conference. We did all sorts of stuff throughout the day, and at 3 me, my dad, Chip, and David went foot golfing. I got 54 on 9 holes. after foot golf, they left. We got ready and went to Margaritaville at Universal studios. I saw Chip and David there because that was where everyone ate dinner from the conference. The reason that we were there is because the conference peeps rented out Harry Potter World for 2 hours in the night. When we walked in, they gave us Harry Potter themed scarves. I first went on the VR ride, and it felt so real. I went on rides with Chip. We did the VR ride again, then went to a small one twice. We then got butterbeer and it was amazing. Then, we went on this motorbike ride for the rest of the time. It went like 50 mph because of the boosters. The only scary part was this sudden ten-foot drop straight down. I know that it might mot seen scary, but it was from a stand-still, and the floor basically dropped from under you. After Harry Potter World, we went back and fell asleep. On the last day we packed up and left. That was the end of an amazing trip to Florida.
