Weeki Wachee Spring State Park, Crystal River, FL

April 2, 2010. Crystal River is a nice little town. We took a nice walk around the neighborhood. Daddy took us to see mermaid show at Weeki Wachee Spring State Park. It was amazingly fun! We took a boat tour in Spring water and saw some wild life animals.

April 6, 2010 - Moving along a west coast of Florida and gulf of Mexico. We arrived at Port of St. Joe. It was not what daddy had expected. The town was very small. You will only find one and only grocery store there. What used to be a famous fishing town now has no fishing port left. I think that what daddy said. We had fun visit a beach in a state park though.

April 9, 2010 - Daddy and Mommy said they had the best Oyster in Carrabelle, Florida. We hated to leave Florida but we have many more things to look forward to. We're now entering Louisiana. It was strawberry season and we bought 3 boxes of strawberry of 3 bucks. They were really good. We visited Tabasco Factory and jungle garden. We saw many small gators in the pond in their natural environment. We also went to hot sauce festival and had many fun ride, but our most favorite one was a sac slide (?) where you slide down on top of a sac.

Everyone seemed enjoy cajun food including crawfish and all. Suwan surprised us with her big appetite for crawfish. Here people just pile the crawfish in a big tray and crack them all up at the table. It's sort of like eating blue crab I guess, except the banging part. Big Mess either way.

April 14 - Entering Texas passed Houston and El Paso. There were Beautiful wild flowers everywhere on highway- blue bonnet and Indian paint brush to name a few. We didn't recall much of Texas but most vividly about LBJ's ranch in Johnson City. The ranch was big and it was interesting to learn about LBJ and to see living farm. We enjoyed a gift shop in Johnson City because they had little shopping carts for us to push around. Mommy got some beef jerky and chili.

"Snow in April - 6000 feet up high in Navajo Nation, Window Rock, AZ. "

"Anchalee and Suwan at a Navajo Trading Post, Arizona"

We've been so busy traveling through different towns in past month and rarely had time to write. Part of it was from being so tired and another was from not having access to internet.

We are staying over one night at Lake Powell, Page, Arizona. We have pretty nice view of the lake, mountains and a golf course. We didn't quite get a good view of a sunset because of the cloud and a short period of sprinkle. It's almost freezing here at dinner time. We just had some snow last night when we were at Window Rock. We drove about 4 and a half hours to get to Page. It was really a nice drive. We got to see gradually changes in landscapes, from snowy pine mountains, silvery grass and stunted bushes in low plains to rocky mesas and reddish canyons. It was some fascinating journey.

We would say we had pretty good day today. Lastly, we get to end our day with a nice warm bath and yummy Japanese food. Pretty cool ha.

Disney World's Fort Wilderness Camping Experience

It is time to say good bye to Disney World. We don't feel bad to live Disney World. In fact, we kept asking Daddy and Mommy when we will live for the hotel. Camping at Fort Wilderness at Disney World was fun. We spend 10 nights there and went through 2 big storms. We didn't really hear or feel any of it because we were so exhausted and slept through both storms. We spend most of our time visiting Magic Kingdom, twice at Epcot Center, once at Animal Kingdom and once at water park. We did't travel by car much around Disney. We usually took buses and boats When we wereat our camp we played out door all the time. There were birds, ducks, armadilloto who came around couple times. get to places. We rent a little cart that look like a golf cart for a day just to visit near by area around the camp. We went to a camp fire and watched Tinker Bell movie one night. We got to roasted some mashmellow for the second time.

About 2 nights ago, Suwan woke up and a middle of the night, sobbing with tear and saying that she would never have done that again. Mommy asked Suwan what she wouldn't do and Suwan told her that her mashmellow was burnt. It took Suwan awhile before she realized that was just a bad dream. What a nightmare!

We left Disney today for Crystal River which is on the west coast of Florida. It is only couple of hours drive from Disney. We walked around the neighborhood a little bit before dinner this evening. There are a lot of Manatee tours and fishing. We felt bad to hear on the news about a boy who got hit by a bus while riding his bike with his friend at fort Wilderness. The same camp we stayed and the same bus we rode. And then again, daddy said two monorails were crashed at Disney.

We hope you have fun looking at us having fun at Disney World. It was sure is a wonderful experiences for us. Thanks for visiting.

More Photos coming soon.

Visiting Alligator Zoo, St. Augustine, Florida

Today we visited Alligator Zoo. There're no word that we can describe better than these pictures. Hope you enjoy them.

The Oldest Town In the Country - St. Augustine, Florida

Daddy told us that St. Augustine is the oldest town in the country but some people believe Sante Fe, NM is. We don't really care which is the oldest but we enjoyed riding trollies around the old town a lot. Letting wind blew our faces was fun. We took a tour at one of the first boarding house, and other famouse Spanish houses. We also went to Fountain of Youth and drank little bit of fountain water. Suwan didn't want any, she got little nauseated due to motion sickness. It was a fun day but we sure walked a lot too. We all got so tired and felt asleep in a car on the way back to the hotel. In the evening, we walked across the street to see the beach. The sand is really white and very fine here, but shells are very tiny. We played on the beach for awhile then went to dinner. We ate cheese burgur and fried shrimp. Daddy had rib with a bowl of local clam chowder and mommy had jumbalaya. It was enough food for the next supper.

Until next time...

Suwan & Anchalee
