Zzzzzzzz we’ve been in the car for 5 hours and 40 minutes taking a 20 minute break at McDonald’s to eat. I think I’m gonna barf. I have to sit in back of the station wagon and it is so hot and stuffy back here. It is very uncomfortable. I think I’m gonna break my back. We are in Illinois. I’ve seen two accidents. At the first there were seven cop cars and I don’t know what happened and at the second one there was a car with a trailer. The trailer came unhooked and tipped over. The car drove into a ditch. I am so bored. I already used my first set of batteries up in my Walkman.

Dude, that was so cool! We just went to Phillips 66 which is a gas
station. A guy who worked at Fazoli’s
was there. Someone paid him with a $50
bill that was counterfeit. The guy at
Phillips 66 could tell because he had a marker and when you wrote on a real
bill it was yellow. When you wrote on a
fake bill it was black. TT4N.

I just saw army cars on a train.
We are in Tennessee. I am writing
down the license plate states.

A while ago we saw a car in a ditch that fell off of the bridge. And we call Iowans dumb! Right now we are
stick in lines of traffic aka a traffic jam, and at 8:47 in the morning! We still have awhile to go, and it doesn’t
help much that we’re barely moving. I’m
about to fall asleep. I must have listened
to at least 654 songs by now. Right now
I am listening to “I’m a Believer.” Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!

We are finally in Florida but we still have 4 hours until we get to our
place that we are staying. It is
sooooooooooooooo hot in the car and I have a headache. I am all sticky because Isaac just spilled
Sierra Mist all over me. We went through
a dust storm earlier. If I have to be
stuck in this car much longer I’m going to explode.
(Note: Yes, we drove straight
from MN to FL without stopping somewhere to stay overnight. Also it’s nice to see I was just as dramatic
as a child as I am now :P)

We finally got to the villa and it almost looks the same as last time. My head hurts so bad it is about to
explode. Tomorrow we are going to Sea
World. We ate Hardees for breakfast and Krystal’s,
which is like White Castle, for lunch.
Who knows what we’re having for supper.
Mom and Grandma are taking forever to get back from wherever they went.

Today we went to Sea World. It
was kinda boring. I liked the Journey to
Atlantis, Kraken, the dolphin show, and the whale show. The Wild Artic was alright. Everyone kept screaming and it wasn’t even
scary. Mom and grandma are sick, Dad has
a headache, and I have a headache and a case of the hiccups. Tomorrow we are meeting the Kramers at
Universal Studios.

Today we went to Universal Studios.
We watched Slime Time Live. My
favorite ride was Men in Black: Alien Attack.
On there, you shoot aliens. My
score was 60,325 and Sam’s was 30,125. I
liked Twister as well. On there you got
to stand on a porch and there was a twister coming and it was raining on
us. There were fires and a flying
cow. Other things we went to were:
Earthquake, Shrek: 4D, Terminator 2: 3-D, Jimmy Neutron, Back to the Future,
Woody Woodpecker’s Rollercoaster, Beetlejuice’s Graveyard, Animal Planet Live,
The ET Adventure, and Slime Time Live. I
got autographs and pictures of Angelica, Chuckie, Tommy, Eliza, Donnie,
Princess Fiona, and Woody Woodpecker. I
also got pictures of Shrek and SpongeBob.
At 9:00PM there was a parade. It was
about Mardi Gras. There were real Mardi
Gras floats with people on it who threw bead necklaces at us. There were tall people with stilts too! It was fun!
I got 3 matching bracelets for Bethany, me, and Amanda. I also got a t-shirt that says Mardi Gras on
it. TA4N!

Today we stayed at the condo. We
went swimming and got burnt. We went to
Downtown Disney. I got a hockey
puck. It was very boring.
3/29/04
We went to Epcot. I made a
mask. We went on Test Track twice. I went on Mission: Space. It was really fun. Me and Sam had to steer four things. We went on Spaceship Earth twice. It was kinda boring since we have already been
here. We had two beaver tails each.

We went to Islands of Adventure.
I went on Hulk and Spiderman three times. We saw two shows, Sinbad and Poseidon. I went on Dueling Dragons twice. I went on Dudley’s Rip-saw. We got really wet then. We also got really wet on Jurassic Park’s
River adventure. That was fun. I went on it twice. We also went to Jimmy Buffet’sMargaritaville.
3/31/04
Today we went to Clearwater Beach. We
got really sunburned. The water was real
gross. It made me gag. I got some shells. We stayed at Comfort Inn. It was really got. The sand was really white. There were two parks there. We built a sand hockey rink. The waves were big and fun.
4/1/04
I played the first April Fool’s joke!
It was on Sam. We went shopping
with Rick and Helen. I got two things: a
beach in a bag and a sun catcher. We
drove to Birmingham, Alabama. We went to
three hotels before we finally found one with a non-smoking room. The hotel we finally stayed at was really
nice.
