On June 5th my family (mom Wanda, Billy, my son Mychal, and two of my nephews Ethan and Kaden and I) went to The Villages, Florida. We stayed at my great Aunt Edna and Uncle Curt’s house. You could say my aunt was our tour guide the whole time while we were there. She pretty much did all the driving. Every day after breakfast we packed our lunches and were on the road. To name off some places where we had gone, we went to Honeymoon Island Beach (first time I have ever been to a beach before). This beach was beauti- ful - white sand, sea shells and just seeing everyone having fun as a family just made it all the more enjoyable. An- other place we went to was Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park. Here we got to see the largest hippo and the kids were amazed to see the alligators so close up. Then these next two places were the main event for me. It was more like a dream come true. The first place was to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. That’s when I was able to see Winter and Hope from my favorite movies A Dol- phins Tale 1 and 2. I had planned on getting a picture with Winter but she wasn’t feeling the greatest and preferred to stay away from all the excitement. We did get to see her, (Winter) just not how we wanted, but I was ok with that. Hope the dolphin was active and swimming and playing everywhere. I will admit though when I saw the dolphins I had tears in my eyes because I never thought I would be able to see one of my most favorite mammals ever. The second favorite place was going on two different dolphin cruises. Riding on a pontoon and cruising the ocean looking for and seeing the dolphins just swim was a beautiful thing. I was just in awe the whole time. This part of the trip was by far the best thing I have ever got to do in my entire life thus far. When we got home in the evenings, we either stayed home or played games, arts and crafts, or we drove around sightseeing in The Villages in golf carts. Let me tell ya, I have never in my life see so many golf carts. There are so many golf courses and a lot of the golf carts I had seen, the people had put money into them to make them look like classic cars, NASCARS or whatever they wanted. The Villages is like a bunch of small subdivisions that make up The Villages.
I will have to say I had a great time and I know my family did too. With that being said I would like to thank Crest Foods for giving me the opportunity to be able to make this trip happen!
