Vacation!

....................
After about 4 years of not getting out of state (other than drift events) or on a real vacation Laura and I decided to go to Orlando. She had never been to Disney world and I haven't been in 9 years so we have been planing to go for a while....

on the way...


Gathering all the brochures at a travel plaza...



After we checked into the hotel we went and ate at the biggest McDonalds in the world! We saw it on TV so figured it would be cool...




Lulu's new friends...




Laura ready for Disney!



Woke up the next day early and got the nasty free hotel Breakfast and headed to disney!





Laura scarred to get on Space Mt.




All I heard during the whole ride was... #()$*#)(*$#^*&^%@#^%*&#@^$&^# Bwahahahaha!!!





-small world...




We rode almost all the rides... well the important ones at least.

Jungle boat tour was pretty funny
tom sawyer's island was lame.... but we got a boat ride from "Pat" (look up the movie)
Haunted Mansion is awesome
Pirates is way different but still awesome and the model of Johnny Depp looks real!
Tiki Room is meh.
Splash Mt. was fun and we got a sweet pic out of it haha... Laura was scarred stiff!

Night time is always my favorite time in the park... scenery and feeling wise anyway...








We rode the monorail back to the parking lot and crashed instantly at the room.


Next day we went over to seaworld...

Saw all the shows. Lots of theatrics this time around in the shamu show.

The Dolphin show, cat and dog show, and sea lion show was pretty awesome though.

Laura got to pet a Dolphin which was pretty cool. She was extremely excited about that!











Heres the last pic before shamu soaked us. Phone almost got wasted taking this one...




So cold after that so we went to the room cleaned up and went over to Ripley's Believe it or not museum...


Lots and lots of interesting things there....





More pics when my film gets developed...





Sunday we left orlando... T_T ...


on the way back we stopped in cordele because Sammy from Tiger Racing and some of the guys were having a private day. Got there late but I got to take dads car out for a couple runs which were FUN! It was good to see everyone at a laid back event and see sammy drift the oval.


All in all it was an awesome weekend... ended too soon! Orlando is an awesome town.

Meet up with carter and ate at Super H mart at 1pm.... mmmmmmmm.... Korean food for lunch.

All You Can Drift Buffet

....

Dope flyer done by Byron!

And a pic of the track Marcos had me photoshop to look like night...





We had our first night drift down at Watermelon speedway on Friday night. So much fun. Car had a couple problems w/ not wanting to rev above 2500 RPM early in the night. Matt said to clean the MAF and flip it upside down. So I did that and took out the silencer in the exhaust and blew out all the exhaust build up and the car ran fine after that!

Got to do some Team Drift w/ the other guys of Rowdy! Takes drifting to the next level of AWESOME.

I will post up pics as the come up... if they come up. Night time is hard for all of us using cheap point and click cams. T_T

Got to meet a bunch of new people since I was helping with tech inspection.




oh and ATL traffic blows on Friday afternoon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
