-Grumbles- Ok, I typed this long thing, and my file was to big so I lost it all..so, here we go -again-
I was looking through some pictures today, and remembered about this..
I went to florida a few years back, its somewhere I'd always wanted to go. When I was a kid, I use to watch EVERY show I could about lions, it may sound stupid, but I have a thing for big cats, they're so beautiful. Anyway, it's kinda been a 'dream' or whatever to see a lion up close, atleast outside TV. My dad knew how much I wanted to go, and being the awesome dad he is, (he hates traveling) he let me for for my bday, AND paid for me and my moms total trip (outside spending money) so I could go. It was to be a xmas gift from my bro or something (to my mom). (their separated, mom and dad) We went to the places around the Resorts first, like animal Kingdom. we went on one of those thingies and I got ot see my lion, only it was pretty far back, but that was ok, I was pretty happy! We had so much fun, I loved it there, we went around xmas, so there was all that stuff going on. I might be going back this summer or next, my mom wants to get some ppl and drive down. Anywho, did I mention we got lost EVERYWHERE we went?? LOL, well, only on the way back..you can tell we're Islanders lol, its so small here and theres no really big highways with more then 2 lanes and lots of traffic..
We ended up going to Busch Gardens also, we really wasn't that good except one thing...there was lions there too!! It was a little different from Animal Kingdom though..maybe just a little better, huh?? I got some pics :D
