James's Vacation

James, zonked out on the train ride home.  Foot rest is not in awesome mode.

I liked the train.  There were foot rests that could recline to "awesome mode"  and it was pretty helpful to conserve heat in the night. Then we put on some movies to watch in the night. I had bascially a sleepless night so in the morning I was napping a lot. Then we got off and waited to get the car and we drove to McDonald's for lunch.  I had a 1/3 of a pound cheeseburger then we checked in at our hotel and went to the beach.  Then for dinner we went on a walk at a boardwalk at Cocoa Beach and then went to a restaurant.  I had another cheeseburger that I thought would be small but it turned out almost as big as what I had for lunch.  I don't think I need to tell you what happened in the night but I will give you one word: BARF
Next day we got on a shuttle bus and went to our cruise ship.  Then we started sailing there were a few clubs for kids like Oceaneer Club and Lab.  There was a tweens club called Out and About that I liked better than the Club or Lab. We did games like dodgeball and scavenger hunts and it was fun because we got to go around the whole ship instead of staying in one room.  When we played dodgeball one time it was so windy when I threw a ball the wind pushed it back and hit me in the face. Luckily head shots did not count so I did not get myself out. For the scavenger hunt we did, we were not allowed to use the elevators because it was during the dinner rush. We had to collect things like a packet of salt or pepper. We had to count all the stairs from deck 1 to deck 11- A.K.A. Aloft, the teen's club.  We would count up to deck 3 or something and then we would lose count and so we would start again.  Once we got to the top, but on deck 7 my legs gave out and I fell down to deck 6.   
The next day we stopped in Nassau our parents got off the boat and we stayed on the ship.  I went to Out and About.  We did a scavenger hunt the rest of my siblings went to the oceaneer club.
Next day there was so much storming we couldn't land at Castaway Cay so we had a day at sea.   I went to the Oceaneer Lab and made flubber it's this squishy stuff that you can make out of glue, borax, and water.  
So the next day we did stop at Castaway Cay. They closed down the Oceaneer Club and Lab and did Scuttle's Cove, which is like one big club for the kids on Castaway Cay.  I mostly built sandcastles with one of my cousins- Jacob.  After that Jacob's parents picked me up and took me to the beach.  We went on little boats. Then we went swimming (all together).  We saw lots of fishes.  They were probably 6 inches long. They were white and had yellow eyes and the water was cold.  Then we got back on the boat. 
The last day we had dinner at Animator's Palate.  It was this restaraunt that was all black and white. In the middle of our dinner all the pictures of Disney characters sprang into full color it was totally awesome. 
The next day we got off the boat at 8.  Then we said our good byes to our relatives got on our shuttle and went back to the hotel. Then we took our car got some lunch at checkers (I didn't get a cheeseburger that time.)   Then we went back to the train station, got on the train and headed back home.
