Florida

This past summer after taking a break from traveling to go to summer camp, we loaded up the car again and headed to Florida. First stop was the Daytona Beach for good ol' family reunion. Boy we had some good times! Like hangin' out with the newest edition to the crew (Carter Johnson), boogie boardin' on the beach with the Metcalfs, and eatin' some good food with Pop and Doda.

All in all it was a pretty fun trip. But pretty soon (way to soon if you ask me) it was time to go. But while my brother and the rest of my family went back home, I spent the second half of my adventure in Destin, FL with Pop and Doda. Lots of good memories! I caught my first Redfish, went fishin' with Pop's friend "Catfish", and went to the Eglin Air Force Base Museum with Doda. The later was really fun and Doda was really surprised by my knowledge. But sadly that week had to end also. So on Saturday we drove to the airport and I flew back to Indianapolis by myself.

Belize!!!!!

For my first summer vacation this year my grandmother took me and my mom to Belize.we stayed in one of the nicest resorts I have ever been to . It was buried deep in the jungle. I saw lots of things i had never seen before, like basilisk lizards ( or Jesus Christ Lizards because they can run on water).

Then the next day we went to Caracol ( snail in mayan). It is the largest Mayan sit in Belize. Its even larger than the country's capital, Belize City! We saw lots of Howler Monkeys and other wild life.

But the most fun was when me and my mom (Nona had stepped off a step and as we later found out broke her ankle) climbed the giant temple there. The view at the top was amazing. Later as we were walking out we saw some British commandoes and I took a picture with them. A few days later when we were in Guatemala we went to Tikal, the most excavated mayan site in the world. Again there were lots of Howler Monkey. We also climbed lots of temples and even saw a toucan! The next day we flew back to Belize and went to the Belize Keys. There was lots of fun when we went snorkeling, fishing, and just enjoying the tropics.

We had a great time in Belize and I would highly recommend it to any one!
