A week from tomorrow I will be in my car headed back to Georgia for good. Wow. I can't believe it's almost over. I don't want to even get into how I feel right now because I could write an entire book about it.
I do want to quickly write about several things I have done in the past few weeks. Several weeks ago, Logan, Meghan, and I ate dinner at Ohana. Ohana is a full service restaurant at the Polyensian and for months I have had guests tell me how good their meal was there. We made the reservations back in February so I had been looking forward to eating there for a while. It was worth the wait! The food was delicious and, as always, we shared lots of laughs.
I feel like all I do down here is eat! Haha I also went to Beaches and Cream with my coworkers from the Polynesian a few weeks ago. We ordered a kitchen sink and ate so much ice cream! They are such a fun group and I'm really going to miss them!
Meghan and I decided to go to the beach a couple of weeks ago. I had been wanting to go ever since I moved down here and had just never gotten around to it. We went to Clearwater, which is about an hour and a half away. Even though I love being at Disney, it was so nice to get away and relax. We also went to the Clearwater aquarium and saw Winter, the dolphin from the movie Dolphin Tale.
Easter was a little different this year, and it was the first holiday that my family hadn't been here. We had the opportunity to sign up to make Easter baskets at work. It was so much fun and it was nice to do something other than stand behind a register. Guests could choose a pre-made basket or create their own. The Saturday before Easter I had a day shift making baskets. Once I got off, I went straight to First Baptist Orlando for their Saturday night service. It was such a blessing. My roommate, Alicia, went to that service too so we took an Easter picture together! Sunday morning I had to be at work at 5am to help out the Easter Bunny. It was early, but it was fun. The best part about it was that I got off at 11am.
About a week and a half ago, I ventured out of Disney and went to Universal with Logan, Meghan, Bridget, and Amelia. Even though I've vacationed at Disney fifteen times and have lived in Orlando for eight months, I had never been to Universal. It was different than Disney World but it was fun!
On Friday I flew home for the weekend to see Nathan in the high school's production of Grease. I decided that it would be easier for me to drive myself to the airport and just park my car there, since it was a roundtrip. I definitely felt grown up and proud for doing it all on my own. It was my first time flying during the day and I was so amazed. I enjoyed being home for a few days and I'm glad that I got to see Nathan perform. They all did a great job. Monday afternoon I flew back to Orlando.
When I got home Monday, I went out to eat at Downtown Disney with my coworkers from the Polynesian. We had a great time!
I had the opportunity to see Blue Man Group with Meghan, Logan, and Amelia, and I couldn't resist. I had no idea what I was getting into but it was an amazing show!
I am trying to make the last week of my program amazing. I've already packed up a lot of my things so that next week I can just spend time playing in the parks and working. I know that it is going to be extremely hard to leave and say goodbye to all the amazing people that I've met, so I could definitely use some thoughts and prayers next week!
