July 4th Shuttle Launch

Yesterday I rented a car and Me, Tanis, Gary and Jon went to watch the Shuttle Launch in Cape Canaveral. It was a big deal and has been all over the news for weeks. After being cancelled twice because of weather conditions, Spaceship Discovery lifted off! It was amazing, we watched it from about 10 miles away at Jetty park! I could not believe I was on the East Coast of Florida watching a shuttle launch to space, on the 4th of July! Everyone was cheering and clapping, I felt very lucky!

After watching the shuttle we headed to Cocoa beach, about 10 minutes away. It was packed there and we had a fun day at the beach. Jon had his waterproof camera so we took a ton of pictures! I love the Beach! This is the Florida I signed up for!!!

Cocoa Beach Pics!

4th of July Fireworks

After being at the beach for a while, we walked down to Ron Jon (the biggest surf wear store I've ever seen) and then looked for a place to eat. We ended up getting a table on this rooftop patio overlooking the beach! It was so nice there! There was live music and it was super busy! Great view! Fighting traffic and driving back to Orlando after a long tiring day... not so fun!


I love this picure of Tanis holding her menu. This is after we found out we got a table by luck on the busiest patio in town. Other people were waiting for hours! hehe

My Birthday and Princess dining

For my birthday yesterday, myself and 8 friends went to the restaurant in Norway and dined with the princesses! We had a really fun time, and after we went on the Norweigan boat ride and walked over to the Boardwalk to take pictures. Later on Sheena, Tracy and I went to the Florida mall and did some shopping!




Last night we went to Motion at Pleasure Island for my birthday! Here are the pics...

Me and my roomates!

Here is me, ALicia and Bettina from Germany outside of House of Blues on Sunday night!

Bye Greta Lil

My really good friend Greta Lil from Norway left last night. Her contract was over and we had a leaving dinner to say goodbye. It was Sheena and I and a bunch of Norweigans. We went to Brio at the Mall at Millenia for dinner and then to the cheesecake factory to get cheesecake to-go. I got the best cheesecake ever! - Godiva chocolate cheesecake which was amazing!

Happy Canada Day!

Pictures from Canada day in Florida. Our Canadian pavillion had a big barbecue during the day and in the evening we had a big celebration! I sort of wish I was home for Canada day and my birthday, but being in Florida is the next best thing!

Jen's Blog

My long time friend Jennifer created a blog recently! It's funny because she said I inspired her to make one. I am hearing a lot of people saying that lately! Although I owe all my blogging credit to Lisa who inspired me! Im telling you... Blogs are contagious! Check it out!

CHILLERS

Went to Chillers last night, it was lots of fun. It was Stephanie and Laura's first time!

New York New York

Well I am home from New York and I have done some changes to my blog! I think it needed some redecorating! I did it mostly so my comments would work again (but I think it looks quite nice!) So Hooray! People please leave me lots of comments!... I have missed them!

So New York was fabulous! I got to see and do so many things! Unfortunately the Broadway show I had my heart set on "Wicked" was not playing but we went to see "Rent" instead which was amazing! Those Broadway stars sure can sing! Gary's dad and Gail took us to some great restaurants and bars and I had the best Eggs Benedict of my life right outside Grand Central Station. The city was pretty rainy so I carried an umbrella most of the time. I did lots of shopping on 5th Avenue, took the Subway, saw Miss Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge. We went to Soho, Little Italy and Chinatown and saw the Rockefeller Center and the Empire State Building! But my favorite thing was standing in the middle of Times Square! That was very cool!

...and more New York

After the Broadway show we got our driver to take us back to Times Square for some night pictures! We stayed at Gail's house which is actually in Greenwich, Conneticut right on the border of New York. It was right by the ocean where you could look over to the Hamptons! I can't wait to go back to New York, because there are sooo many things to do, you just can't fit them all in!

The Artist in me!

Took these pictures of and around New York City! I think the Subway moving is my favorite one! There were so many people everywhere, sometimes you just have to wonder where they are all going! After all it is the city that never Sleeps!

Happy Birthday Gary!

So a bunch of us went out on Saturday night for Gary's birthday! Guess you can guess who picked the place... I did! Yes... and I chose, for the second time in a week my favorite spot right now "TuTu Tango" which everyone loved! It was lots of fun!

New York Tommorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot believe that I am going to New York tommorrow! I am sooo excited! I am going with my great friend Gary who's dad lives there in Greenwich village! I can't wait to do some shopping and maybe see a Broadway show!

Blue Martini

Last night Me, Alicia, Knut and Uva from Norway went to Blue Martini which is at the Mall at Millenia. It was very posh and nice inside. They have a huge selection of martinis that are served with a side shaker! I even tried a Key LIme Pie Martini! We had an awesome time last night and I was very very tired at work today!

Wednesday night

Pics from Chillers and afterward eating the best Spanish wraps ever "Arepas"!

TuTu Tango

Yesterday Tanis and I went for an adventure down Universal Drive and came across the coolest restaurant ever! It's supposed to be set in a Spanish artist's loft where artists come together to share tapas and have conversation. We had an awesome time and were so glad that we went. There were Belly dancers, break dancers and all sorts of entertainment. Artists were working on paintings right in front of us while we ate. The food was also amazing! Tanis and I couldn't get over this place, we took so many pictures~ I love Sangria!

Sarasota

Yesterday was awesome! I went with Albin and Chris and Lynette on their boat in Sarasota (about an hour and a half away from Orlando). It is sooo nice there and the water is so clear on the Gulf of Mexico. I got so much sun, and I am about 4 shades darker now for sure! We went to the Hilton for buffet breakfast to start off the day and then we were gone for 8 hours. I went snorkeling a bit and even went on the seadoo which was a so much fun!
