A Florida Adventure: Highlights of My December 2024 Trip

Opening message: Hi Folks! I hope you all are doing well! This blog is about my 2024 trip to Florida that I went to from December 11th to the 17th. It will cover what I did and what kinds of advice I would take if I were to do the trip again. I went to Florida multiple times before since I have family there and that is what I did this year. Without further ado, I hope you enjoy this blog and learn something about the trip that you can take with you to your Florida trip. Also, if you need tips on traveling, please check out my travel tips blog which will be shown in the next section.



Day 1: It was an early morning start that I had, but it was a good one. Having a nice two hard boiled eggs and a crescent roll for breakfast was great! Getting to the Woburn bus and getting to the airport was a piece of cake. Security was smooth sailing. I got to read my Kindle and watch a movie and listen to music. Having quest cookies and plantain chips were delicious. Our first destination is Jupiter, Florida. My uncle picked me up at the airport. We went to a cupcake place which was called, "Small Cakes Cupcakery". We got 7 cupcakes not eaten in one day. I had the birthday cupcake for the first day at night after a very nice walk around the block. We went to Best Buy in town. It was so big and everything was impressive. I really liked the camera selection because I wish I had that amount of choices for myself. Although mine is still amazing. It filled me with joy hearing that they were really popular at that location. It was great to go to a restaurant called "Rice and Noodles" with my uncle. We had padthai which isn't something I normally would have. We also saw a rainbow and snapped photos. My uncle and I drove around the neighborhood to see all of the beautiful lights around their neighborhood. It was great relaxing at night and chatting with my friend.



Day 2: This morning, I had some amazing plain yogurt with chocolate chips and sliced almonds which is a treat because it is a paywall for me to have in my yogurt. It was also great having a coke, quest cookies, and milk along with it as well! I had an amazing massage at Celestial Wellness. It was the best massage ever and the massage therapist was amazing. Everything was so calm and relaxing. When you go to Jupiter Florida, I recommend you go there. It was great to go to the Morikami museum and there were lots to snap photos of. There was a special exhibit about the architecture of Akira. All of it was great. The greenery outside was amazing. My aunt, uncle, and I went to eat out and it was delicious. I just finished up my journalling. 



Day 3: I woke up early. It was great to have a non-alcoholic drink before breakfast. My uncle and I went to a restaurant called "First Watch". I got a Belgium waffle and coffee with cream and sugar for breakfast. Our waitress was very nice. Later, we stopped at a store called "Third Eye". It is a jewelry store in Jupiter Florida. I got a ring that reminds me of my walks with Taz, my deceased puppy. I watched some anime for Japanese studies. I did some journalling as well. I also got to enjoy going to Juno beach with my aunt and uncle. It was windy but we got some great pictures and I got to take a walk. We enjoyed our afternoon snacks of cupcakes and coke. It was great! We went to Leftovers which is a restaurant, and had a 30 minute wait. My aunt and I walked around the block while we waited. We ate food.


Day 4:  I woke up early. I was able to call my family before I headed to Orlando to see my cousin and his family. On our way, we went to some gas stations. I found a mini cup that was perfect to use for travel and it definitely represents Florida. It also makes for a great display piece. It was great to chat and have sandwiches. My aunt, uncle, and I went to Cirque Du Soleil. I liked all of it, especially the aerial parts, flips, and so forth. We had some unique ice cream flavors. In particular, I had a gingerbread cookie dough ice cream which was amazing and a rare flavor to find and drank coke. I got to use the fitness room and relax. 


Day 5: I woke up early again. I decided to lift weights in the training room. It was not easy. Straight afterward, I went to the breakfast area of the hotel and had some toast, a hard boiled egg, a waffle, and some coffee with cream and sugar. I got a chance to journal in Japanese and Spanish. I listened to music and repacked my stuff. My aunt, uncle, and I went to Disney Springs. We went to the Coke shop first. I got a mascot plush key chain, 1 Coke mini key chain, one salt and pepper shaker of a Coke bottle, and a bag. I walked around by myself trying to find places to snap photos. The M&M store was kind enough to let me do a photo shoot. The day was nice so outdoors was an option. After returning home to my aunt and uncle's place, we unpacked and had food from the brand Factor, for dinner. It was pretty good. Finally, my uncle and I went to Barnes and Noble and found something I wanted. It was a cute Fuecoco plush. Finally, we returned home and relaxed. 


Day 6: I woke up early and watched YouTube videos and enjoyed some peanut butter quest cookies and egg bites. It was great. It was nice to have a couple of glasses of milk and one Coke. My aunt and I went to the Bush Wild Life Center. There were some cool animals like the bobcats, birds, crocodiles, fish, and so forth. There was a gift shop, but nothing stuck out. There was a little bit of rain. The idea of this place is to rescue animals and make sure they can be cared for until they are healthy enough to be able to fend for themselves. Photos were hard to do since The cages were obstructing most of the views. Donations are the way you pay to get into this place. I brought my new Fuecoco Plush to the place. Afterwards, my aunt, uncle, and I went mini golfing. We didn't keep score but I did get a hole in one. We ate at Ebisu which is a Japanese restaurant. I packed more and relaxed.


Day 7: I woke up sometime in the 6 am range. I just chilled until breakfast. I am sad it is my last day on my vacation. I am leaving today. I got to do some chatting with my aunt and uncle before leaving. It was great to see them and I had a great time with them! I got through security with about half an hour to spare. I worked on my blogs. This future blog will remain a mystery until later. I waited until I was asked to board. I worked on my blog and relaxed. We boarded late but only landed 5 minutes late despite having a 15 minute delay on take off. I went to baggage claim to retrieve my stuff. I went on the Woburn bus which was smooth sailing. That ended my trip as I got home safely. 


Concluding thoughts about my trip: I had an amazing time with my aunt and uncle. They were fantastic hosts and I am so glad that we got to spend time together. It was the same goes to spending time with my cousins as well. It was great doing some activities like photo shoots. They were a big help in helping me get great pictures and taking me places for great pictures too. The weather was great as well. I look forward to visiting them again sometime. Thank you so much again to my aunt and uncle for hosting me in Florida! 


Closing message: A special thank you so much to my aunt and uncle for letting me stay at their place while traveling to Florida! It was a lot of fun! Does this make you want to go to Florida? Will you do anything that was mentioned in the trip? Thank you so much for reading the blog! I hope you enjoyed it! I look forward to seeing you all in the next blog! Stay safe, happy, and healthy! Have a wonderful day!
