SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I didn't go straight home, the USA had to deal with me for about a month more!  And I packed stuff in, well I did the first week. As soon as we finished Mary, Sam, their niece Ayla and I went to Disney, Orlando, and we drove the whole way down and back!

The first day we spent about 13 hours in the car and got to just north of Savannah, Georgia. It was tiring, so we took Ayla to the pool for a little at the hotel for behaving so well. The next morning it was up early and we headed to Savannah to have a look around, it was beautiful and hot! Savannah is one of America's historic towns and it was very pretty. So here are some pictures:

Then we kept driving until we reached Disney, and everyone was extremely excited! Thanks to my parents, we had a lovely room which could have fit a lot more than just the four of us. Regardless we loved every second. And the magic bands we were given were very fun, they had our names on the inside and were impressive.

Day one we spent in the Magic Kingdom, we arrived when the park opened and went on a lot of rides, but could still have spent so much more time there. Everyone enjoyed watching parades and seeing characters though. We left after the fireworks, which were amazing!

Day two we had a lie in, we stayed in bed until about 10:30am, which was really needed then headed to the pool at the hotel. Ayla, Sam and I had fun playing in the pool and with the slide! Then we went to Downtown Disney to take a look around, and then to the Boardwalk Bakery to get a cake. Finally we cooked dinner in the room and ate it in the pool area watching Tangled on a big screen.

Day three we went to Epcot, and went straight to the big golf ball. We went on a couple of rides there and then looked at some of the Flower Festival plants, which were impressive! Sam and I went round the world at Epcot and then watched the fireworks which were beautiful.

The next day it was up early again and we started to drive back, thankfully we stopped in South Carolina for a night, making the first day not too long. We did however stop off at the beach in Florida, which was great and warm!! Then we decided to go see some of their family in Cincinnati, Ohio so we took a slightly different route and stayed at their Aunt's house. Finally making it home to their house a week after we left. All in all we were in 9 States over the whole week including Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Kentucky and Tennessee.

The next three weeks I spent time around Bowling Green, it was nice hanging around, doing odd jobs for people. Sam and I went on a couple of motorcycle rides which were fun too. We also took Ayla to the pool, which is outdoor and lovely. Another day Sam, his brothers: Tom, John and James, John's friends Jen and I went to a local lake and swam in that. Which was beautiful and warm. So much fun!

Sam and I took a day trip to Delaware, Ohio too, where we met our friend Emily for lunch and spent some time with her, which was great fun.

And all too soon and yet not soon enough it was time to head home! Which is always nice, just to see family. However, before I finish for this year I would like to say a huge thank you to the Weinandy family for looking after me all year long and making me feel at home with them. I have been very blessed to get to know you all and can't wait to see you again at the end of July!
