Got up and hit the road immediately. Barely even woke Jared up, cause I wanted to get into Orlando quickly. I stopped and ate at a Krystal. It's like White Castle, with the sliders and such. It's pretty good. I went to Universal Studios because the Disney Parks let you get free admission on your bday. After paying 12 bucks to park, and walked for 15 minutes, I found out I was an idiot, as Universal Studios is not Disney affiliated, the one I was thinking of, and supposed to go to was Hollywood Studios. It was 20 minutes away. So I wasted over an hour and 12 bucks. DUH. Finally got in, and had a good time. I only had about two and a half hours there, but I maximized my time. I saw the Indiana Jones stunt show, a bit of Jedi training, rode the Star Wars movie ride, went to a Narnia thing, and rode the tower of terror. It was a fun time. I met a couple girls and a guy from Santiago, Chile. They were in town to be in the world cheer leading championships, to be on ESPN in June. They didn't speak much English, so I conversed with them in Spanish the best I could.
After the park I headed to Amway Arena, to see my first NBA basketball game. The Orlando Magic played the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2nd game of the playoffs. That's a pretty good first game to see. I had a blast, got my picture with and met a couple of cheerleaders, and the Magic won the game. Dwight Howard fouled out and didn't play that much, and he was who I wanted to see the most, but when he was in, he did well and it was a good experience. My next main stop is New Orleans, so I left Orlando and drove a couple hours to Gainesville so my drive isn't so long tomorrow. I checked into a Motel 6, and will probably be blogging and loading photos til 4 am. Good night ya'll.
