2014 amazing year

Hey everyone. Cant believe 2014 is done. I have done a lot of amazing things this year. I can't believe I am half way done my college program. Getting a lot of A's and B's. I went on an a couple amazing trips. The first one was Stamford Connecticut were I got to see my friends that are just like me.

Then a week later my dad, mom and I went to England. We flew on a plane overnight and that was very interesting. We landed at the Manchester Airport which was fun but a little tiring. Then we toured the city. It was very different. Then we went to a pub. The restaurants were very different. You had to pick your food and then go order it at the bar. My first day at England I got to try a fish sandwich which was very tasty. Then we went on a coach bus tour to the isle of wright. The hotel that was with the bus tour was amazing. The hotel was awesome and had a lot of good food. We went to some amazing tourist attractions. Then we had a day were we got to relax for a day. We walked around the downtown city which was cool.

Then we headed back to Manchester for the Europe chromosome 18 conference. The self advocate panel was a lot smaller then the united state one which was a lot nicer. At the hotel they had a breakfast buffet which had a lot of tasty breakfast food.  Then we saw ton of an amazing speakers at the conference.

Then we went to London on a train from Manchester it was very interesting. We had a table so we could have some snacks so we got to sit together.  Then we went over to our friends flat to put our stuff away.  Then we went to a grocery store to get some food for breakfasts. Then we had a good night sleep. The next day we went on the bus tour to see where we wanted to go and explore. The 2nd day we did two walking tours.  The first tour was a royal tour where we learned about all the royal history and sites. Then we got to see the start of where they had a marching band with the new guard. We got to walk with the marching band for a little bit until we got near the Buckingham palace and then we stopped at a lawn. Then my dad and I did the Harry Potter walking tour when my Mom and sister decided to sit out. We got to see the ministry of magic. Then we went to an alley that where a candy store sold some harry potter snacks.  

The third day we went to Stonehenge in the morning and Roman's Baths in the afternoon. After that we went back to the bus to drive back to London. Then we went back to flat and hanged out.  The last day we went to the London castle where a beefeater gave us a tour and told us some really gory stories.  Then we decided to go have lunch. Then we went to the big toy store which was really neat. Then we went back to the underground and headed to the 9 and 3/4 stops at kings Cross. The line was extremely short and it took us not very long to get picture with the Hogwarts cart. Then we went to the London eye which included a 4D movie which was neat. I was nervous about it but really liked it once we saw it. Then we got in line for London eye. We finally got to ride on the London eye for thirty minutes. We went back to the flat after that for the last sleep. Then we packed everything from the flat that is my friend Carissa's house. The next day we had breakfast and moved out to get to the Manchester airport. We got to ride on a train again which was really fun. Then we went to a hotel which was attached to the airport. The next day we got up really early to head to our flight back to Toronto while my sister went to Scotland.  We got back to Toronto that day which was tiring and fun. I liked the little TVs that they had in the airplane.

After the England trip I got to go to the united states in November for a cheerleading competition. The resort that we stayed in was awesome and it had an indoor and outdoor waterpark. The resort is called Kalahari Resort. It had everything in it. I stayed with my mom, my best friend and her mom. It was such an awesome experience we competed on Saturday after lunch and then they gave us the award right afterwards. I got to keep the trophy from the competition. Then we spent some time shopping which was fun. We were on a mission to find an Olaf the snowman from frozen. Then my mom had to take a shirt back to a kohl's store because they forgot to pull off the security thing. So my friend her mom and I walked around the store and we saw the gigantic Olaf which made us laugh. After shopping we went to a restaurant called Red Ruby's. It was pretty neat because all the cheerleading athletes got to sit at a table by themselves without parents. The food was awesome and everyone got to try a bit of dessert since one person shared. Then after supper some of us went to the waterpark. We also got our new Kalahari bracelet for the waterpark for Sunday. My favourite part of the waterpark was the lazy rive and the wave pool. My friend and I also won big at the arcade. We found this game where it was like plinko and you just had to hit a button. We kept hitting the thousand ticket button and I got my ball in a secret hole which allowed me to have another chance. On Sunday we went to go pickup our prizes which was fun I got a whale tale, photo frames and a slinky with the Kalahari logo. After a fun weekend away we left the hotel and headed our way back home. I had a fantastic time and would love to go back again with my cheerleading team.
