The weekend I got there we went to St. Petersburg to spend the weekend with Dennis and Collen. On Saturday, we spent the day chillen at Lido Beach. It was a nice, hot and sunny day spent in the warm water, diggin' my toes in the white sands, and relaxing to some good jams. H.O.E. status fa sho!
I heard Angie Bautista was in town for a few days, so on Sunday night when we got back home to Orlando, I called her up and asked if she wanted to go hang out the next day. Her and her husband Carlo wanted to check out another theme park, so I accompanied them to Universal Studios and Island of Adventures. Theme parks are always fun no matter how many times I've been there!
During the week, Josh and I spent a couple days out in the pool swimming and sliding.
The following Saturday was Josh's last game of his summer basketball league. He's been in basketball leagues every year since he was 5, and this game was by far the most exciting one I've seen. Their team was down for the majority of the game and during the 4th quarter their point guard missed two crucial free throws to take the lead. Luckily, the boy shooting the free throws got his own rebound, and scored with less than a minute remaining. Josh's team ended up winning! They finished the season with the best record...only losing one game (a game which Josh missed because he was on vacation in Ohio). Good job lil bro!
After his game, we went and checked out the Orlando Science Museum. They had an offer that week that if you bring an old cell phone for recycle, you get free admission. It was a pretty cool place with some stuff to play with to learn about different things such as hurricanes, earthquakes, sound, different body functions, waves, etc. They also had a few animal exhibits and a fossil room.
On Monday, my Dad took the day off, and me, my Dad, and Josh went to Aquatica, which is Sea World's new waterpark. The weather was really nice that day and it barely rained. There is one slide which starts off dark, and then when you get underwater the slide tunnel becomes clear, and you are suppose to see Dolphins. But the slide is pretty fast and the clear opening is really short that you barely even see anything. Next thing you know, you've already landed in the water. But there is also a viewing window where you can just stand and look at the Dolphins too, which is pretty cool. Overall, it was a nice waterpark...not too crowded like some of the others.
Those were pretty much the highlights of my trip. It was fun as always!
