Okay, so I have to rewrite this freaking post to my blog just because this piece of remote posting software that I installed decided to dump my earlier post. That really chaps my hide.
too bad tho, I should have saved it. Anyways here we go:
First post for the new year!
So I took the family up to Jacksonville to ring in the new years. Pretty good fireworks show as usually on the Landing. The kids were all over the place – actually Cheyenne was all over
the place, Marcus was pretty subdued.Â
We stayed at NAS Jax and had one of the most miserable stays ever. We all pretty much got sick on the first night – dry scratchy throat. The carpet in the room was so filthy, the bottom of our feet got black from walking on it. We asked to move to another room. Got to the other room. The carpet was slightly better, but the condition was worst. We had roaches galore. We found blood splash on one of the walls. Behind one of the couch we found what appears to be an empty McDonald’s bag next to a bunch of roaches feeding on a piece of what appers to be a Dorito chip.Â
We ended up leaving at around 19:30 New Year’s day back for Ocala. Felt really bad about the whole trip. Will make it up to the family.

Success is not measure do much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles one has to overcome while trying to succeed.

Just got back from the Allstar Sports Resort at Walt Disney World where I spent three days and three nights with the family. It was really a blast. We left Ocala at around 3 p.m. on the 24th and got to Walt Disney at around 5:30 pm. We got something to eat real quickly at the cafeteria on the premises and then went back to our rooms to relax for the night to get ready for the next day.
Marcus and Cheyenne were all giggly and giddy from the anticipation of seeing Mickey Mouse and all the other Disney stuff. We barely slept that night, in fact, we got up at about 4 a.m. because Cheyenne messed with the clock.
We left the hotel at around 10am on Christmas day for the Magic Kingdom theme park. We got to the park at about 11 o’clock. The day started off rainy and cold, but about an hour in, it dried up and the sun came out.
We visited several areas of the theme park. Marcus and Cheyenne got their faces painted – Marcus was a Tiger and Cheyenne was Minnie mouse. They both looked great. We then bought ice cream cakes, rode the carousel, watched several parades, ate pizza, walked around the park ,visited several places again, rode a couple more rides, watched the highlight of the day – the fireworks, and finally a night parade. We got home after midnight.
The next day we had breakfast and left for MGM Studios Theme Park at about 9 a.m. While the celebration the day before at Magic Kingdom was great, we did not get a chance to ride as many rides in as we wanted – it was just too crowded. The following day, however, at MGM studio theme park, it was quite the opposite. We were able to get on most of the rides without much delay. The most memorable event of the day for me was Fantasmic. It was a water show that brought together all the good and evil characters from Disney productions. It was especially memorable to me because it was at night; it was cold; and I had my family all together in one place. It was beautiful and simply magical.
We got home from MGM at around nine o’clock the second day. We stopped in the cafeteria got some hot chocolate and then went up to our rooms. We chilled out for the night, got up the next day, hang out for a while at the resort, took some pictures and then got on the way back to Ocala.
