Wow, that was so exciting!

Can you believe it? I’m blogging; shocked?

Yeah, well, this is really something to blog about… read on…

 

I’m writing from the Country Inn in Florida. We (as in the entire family) left home on the 5th for the NSSEA convention, which started yesterday and ends tomorrow. The NSSEA is a convention for education. It’s commonly called the “Ed Expo” and is my favorite convention to attend (for reasons I will state in a moment). It’s also one of the most exhausting! The whole convention was held in one massive room, which was the size of, hmm, if I had to give an educated guess, I’d have to say over 5 acres. Yes, the convention room was well over 5 acres. Probably closer to something like, 8 square acres. Anyhow, you get the idea; it was a very large room. And walking up and down those long, long aisles, really wore us (“us” being Dad, Luke, and I) out fast, as I’m sure you could imagine. So, we worked the first day, came back to the hotel where Mom and the younger kids were, ate pizza, and went to bed. Then, today we got up at 6:30 and spent the day hard at work. There’s certainly nothing “exciting” about that. So what did I mean by “my favorite convention”? Well, the NSSEA always throws a HUGE bash at the end of the second day, which was tonight. Let me tell you, it was one of the most spectacular nights I’ve ever experienced…

 

This year, NSSEA and SeaWorld worked out some kind of deal; basically, we all got in free. And SeaWorld set up an entire section just for us. First, we had dinner. The food was excellent! Then, we all made our way over to a MASSIVE auditorium with a very large water tank where this expert guitarist (btw, he was one of the best sweepers I’ve ever seen… errrrr… heard. He really knew what he was doing) played while we watched killer whales perform quite the show. These whales would jump clean out of the water with a diver standing on the tip of its nose! Like I said, and I’ll say it again, the music was awesome. :P

Simply said, it was exciting. After that was finished, we walked over to another location, where we all gathered around this magnificent lake. There, we watch an excellent show that was displayed on a… mist wall! Seriously, they had huge fountains and a massive (I know I keep using that word but that’s really the only way to describe it) spout that shot tons and tons of mist into the air in a condensed area. There was so much mist, they were able to display, with a projector, a beautiful production on the mist wall and accompanied it with a wonderful fireworks display. The whole thing was very exciting. More exciting than it seems; trust me.

 

Just as we were leaving some artists drew some funny pictures of the kids. I’ll post them soon. And little Susanni did very well. She enjoyed it just as much as I did, I think…

I’ll post some pictures of her later. She’s gotten a bit bigger since the last pictures and she is totally trying to talk now, so cute.

 

 

So, here it is now, the end of the day. I am extremely tired. So, I’m afraid I’ll have to end it here without giving further details on the day. I’m just really tired, ha.

 

Everything was so great but I heavily regret forgetting the camera. I left it in the car. :P

 

Anyhow, I just wanted to update you all on our trip. We’ll be back in TN soon. Just after we eat at our favorite restaurant, no where to be found in TN, Cheveys! When I get home, I’ll write about the rest of the trip, which of course, has not yet taken place. Yeah, ok, it’s late…

 

Nighters!
