Hello, my bucket list friends! In January I went on a very fun family vacation to Florida. I crossed off two bucket list items while I was on vacation and I’m so excited to tell you all about it . I had a lot of fun during my first vacation on 2026 so let’s get to it
January 25th – This was the day that my vacation began! It took two planes to get to Florida but I was very happy to be there. We stayed at Disney’s Old Key West hotel. This hotel is huge! I went to the gift shop and I got a magnet with the hotel’s name on it. After getting to our room we went out to dinner. While we were on our way to dinner I saw a bunch of gift shops. After dinner we went to the mermaid gift shop. This gift shop was so much fun to explore. There were so many souvenirs to choose from. I got a hat, a shirt, keychains and more! This day was a good start to a great vacation.
January 26th – Today was the day we went to Epcot. I enjoyed going on some of my favorite rides here including living with the land, The Seas with Nemo and Friends, Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros, and Test track. I also enjoyed exploring the world showcase. I loved collecting the free post cards. It was also the festival of the arts I liked seeing the decorations and I also had fun doing a paint by numbers activity. Two other highlights of the day were getting a fun coffee drink and eating at the space 220 restaurant. I’m glad I got to visit Epcot again.
January 27th – On this day I crossed an item off my bucket list by visiting another Crayola Experience location. I had been to the Crayola Experience location in the Mall of America back in 2018. I loved it so much that I put visiting another Crayola Experience location on my bucket list. I had a fun time visiting the Orlando location. I had a great time making art with melted wax, making my own crayon label, making coloring pages with my picture on it and making other fun projects. I even got my picture sketched by a robot! Oh and there was this area where you could draw with chalk on the walls and I wrote Let’s go Mets more than once. They had a photo booth and I took some fun pictures there. Included with my ticket I got a free scribble scrubby toy. There were so many coloring pages and projects here. I took some with me so I could use them later. The gift shop here was beyond amazing there were so many Crayola products that you could buy. I got so many fun souvenirs including a shirt, another scribble scrubby toy, a coloring book, an ornament and a pack of markers. I highly recommend going to the Crayola experience I could write a whole blog post about everything I did here. Some other quick highlights are the pressed penny machine , getting soda in a Crayola cup , the silly putty claw machine and doing rubbings with crayons. The Crayola Experience is located in a mall so after I wrapped up my time there, I went to the American girl store. It had been I long time since I had gone to an American Girl store and I was so happy to have the chance to go to one again. I had a good time looking at all the displays and seeing some of the new items that are available. I bought the American Girl sticker book that I had been wanting I also got a shirt with the old American Girl logo on it and a chocolate bar with and American Girl wrapper. I also went to Claire’s .There was a great clearance sale going on and I was able to get a lot of fun items for a great price. This mall actually had two Claire’s locations at I got to go to them both. Later that day I went to the Rainforest Cafe in Disney Springs. I love this cafe so much but we don’t have one where I live. After eating I went to the Rainforest Cafe gift shop where I got a mug and a ball. I love that they have items on clearance here. After dinner I got coffee it was a great vacation day.
January 28th – On this day we went on a day trip to St. Augustine. We went on a tour where we got to see a lot of different places around St. Augustine. We also did a tour of an old jail. My favorite part of our St. Augustine adventure was the Fountain of Youth. It was fun drinking from the fountain but my favorite part was seeing the peacocks and getting to feed them. They are truly beautiful birds. I just loved taking pictures of them. We only had a short amount of time in St. Augustine it would be fun to go back sometime to have more adventures. On the way back that night we stopped at one of my favorite places. For the 2nd time in my life I got to got to Bucee’s. I had so much fun shopping here there we even some Valentine’s day items. Some of the items I got where a stationary set, a magnet, a hairbow, a coloring book, a tin of mints, and a rubber duck. Shopping here was the perfect end to this fun day.
January 29th – This was the day I went on a solo adventure to Magic Kingdom. I had not been here since 2021 and I was excited to go on the Tron roller coaster. My first ride of the day was the people mover. I love this ride it was the perfect way to start the day. My next ride was Tron I had a pass for it so I didn’t have to wait in the long line. I loved this ride it was very thrilling and I wish I could have ridden it twice. It seemed like it was a somewhat busy day at the park but I still got to go ride the rides that I wanted to the most Including Winnie The Pooh , It’s a small world, the carousal, jungle cruise, and the barnstormer plus more. I also did some shopping of course. My favorite thing that I bought was a Winnie the pooh bead kit. The Winnie the Pooh ride is my favorite. I had a great day here but I was so tired at the end of my adventured filled day.
January 30th – On this day I crossed off a bucket list item but before I did that I went to Disney Springs. I went to the Coca cola store and I got some fun items including some polar bear items. I also got coffee. Then it was time to cross off a bucket list item. I took the bus to Fort Wilderness. I had put exploring Fort Wilderness on my bucket list because one of my favorite sing a long videos was filmed there. I remember watching it a lot as a kid. This place is huge so I did not get to explore all of it but I did enjoy walking around. It was a nice day and I’m glad I went on this adventure. I walked to a store where I got a snack. It would be so fun to stay here sometime. There were also horses here. There was an outdoor theater that was really cool . I’m glad I crossed this item off off my list. That night we went out for ice cream it was a great way to say goodbye to this great vacation.
January 31st – This was the day I came back home from a wonderful vacation. At the airport I got a very cute bear that had different locations in Florida on it. I’m so happy I got that bear I’m also happy I got to go on this Wonderful vacation.

Hello, my bucket list friends. I’ve enjoyed remembering my July road trip as I write each blog post about it However, I’m very excited to write this blog post because I will get to write about going to the zoo. I love getting to explore different zoos and On this road trip I got to go the Sequoia Park Zoo. It was a truly wonderful zoo and I can’t wait to tell you more about it so let’s get to it!
July 16, 2025
The sequoia park zoo was our first adventure on this day. This zoo was in a really great location right next to a very cute park. When we entered the zoo, the first animal we saw were flamingos. I love flamingos. They are so fun to watch and they are truly beautiful animals. I also got to see an owl , a bear , other birds, some barnyard animals and more. My favorite thing here was the red wood skywalk. The skywalk is a walkway that includes bridges. This is a great place to take pictures and get a good view of the beautiful redwoods. There was also a gift shop here where I got a plush flamingo and some other fun zoo souvenirs as well. After the zoo I went to the park where I got to go down a slide. And I took a picture With a banana slug statue. After our zoo adventure, we went to the Dick Taylor chocolate factory. I really enjoyed going to this chocolate factory. There was a great selection of lots of yummy treats you could buy. I bought some treats of course and some souvenirs. But my favorite thing here was the peppermint tea Latte. It was one of the most amazing drinks. I have ever had in my life. Obviously I highly recommend visiting this chocolate factory. After our visit to the chocolate factory, we went on two more beautiful hikes . One hike that we went on gave us beautiful views of the ocean. On the other hike that we went on was the lady bird Johnson grove trail. There were many beautiful trees on this trail and I remember it being pretty easy overall. I highly recommend this trail for it’s beautiful scenery. this day was a wonderful summer day filled with adventure.
Hello, my bucket list friends! I’m excited to say that it is time to blog about an amazing road trip that I went on in July. For this road trip my mom and I explored some beautiful places in Northern California. I’m very excited to tell you about this grad summer adventure.
July 2025 road trip part one
July 13th – This is the day that our road trip began. We made two stops on the way. During one of our stops I saw a bird in it’s nest I was happy that I got a picture of it. During the other stop I got to see some cool caves. When we arrived to our hotel that night I loved the dolphin statue that was out front. It was a long day or driving but I was very excited to get this vacation started!
July 14th – On this day we got to go on the skunk train! It was so much fun. Before getting on the train I bought some fun souvenirs. I love the skunk logo. The train was was enjoyable and it made a stop before going back to the station. During the stop my mom and I went on a short hike. The hike was an adventure but it was also relaxing at the same time. After our beautiful hike we got back on the train. On the way back I bought a bucket of popcorn on the train. The bucket has a very cute picture of a skunk on it. I have the bucket in my room and I love looking at the cute skunk. Riding the skunk train was a wonderful adventure but it was not the only adventure I went on that day. The 2nd adventure of the day was going to the point Cabrillo lighthouse. I can easily describe this lighthouse as being one of the cutest that I have ever seen. The this lighthouse looks like a small cute house that has a tower attached. The tower almost looks out of place but that adds to the charm of this place. I had a fun time exploring the inside and the outside of this lighthouse. I recommend going to visit this lighthouse if you get the chance to and I also highly recommend going on the skunk train. Even after the lighthouse we had some more adventures to go on. We went to visit the well-known glass beach. This was definitely a very interesting beach and it is worth visiting but please remember not to take the glass. We went on a really nice walk that evening. I loved getting to walk on a wooden path . I got some great pictures on this walk. Also I got to go to the Dollar Tree on this day I got some fun items including a bath bomb and a craft kit! It was a wonderful vacation day!
Hello, my bucket list friends. In early June, I got to go on an overnight trip with my wonderful friend. It was so much fun and I can’t wait to tell you more about it so let’s get to it!
June 4th – I had this day off, and I was blessed with an opportunity to go on an overnight trip to Big Sur with my friend. On the way to our hotel, we stopped at state park that had some beautiful views. It was a great place to take pictures. When we arrived to check in to our hotel we saw a very fun summer sand sculpture. There was also a huge chair that was perfect for taking pictures. Also there was a store and I got some souvenirs there. One of the big highlights was that by the restaurant, there were wooden chairs in the river. it was relaxing to sit in chairs that were anchored in the river.
June 5th – On this day, we explored Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park. We went hiking through some truly beautiful scenery. I highly recommend going to this amazing state park if you ever get a chance. There was so much to explore here. We also went to a little store that had some great souvenirs. On the way back from our trip, we stopped at the Bixby bridge to take some pictures. This was a great little trip.
Hello, my bucket list, friends! I am excited to bring you the blog post about the third and final part of my Tennessee vacation. While on vacation, I welcomed a new month, and that is where this post starts on July first.
July 1st
On this day, my mom and I went on an adventure to Fall Creek Falls State Park. We went on a nice hike, and we got to see a great view of the water fall. The water fall was not flowing very much because it was summer. However, it was still worth seeing. There was also a pretty awesome bridge that we got to walk on. Oh, and there was a playground by the parking lot, and I went on the slide, and there is a nice visitor center here as well. That night, we went back into Nashville for some food and shopping. I got some fun souvenirs, including a cute plush bear and a puzzle. This was our last full day of vacation, and it was an enjoyable day.
July 2nd
This was the day that we flew home, but our flight was not until later in the day, so we had some time before we needed to be at the airport. We went to Starbucks, the Goodwill, and went got ice cream. I got a few things at Goodwill, including books, trivia cards, and pencils. The ice cream shop that we went to was really good. It was a good way to end our vacation, but it was so hard to say goodbye to Tennessee. At the airport I got a few more souvenirs before saying goodbye to the state We had a layover in Denver, and our flight got delayed, so we spent more time in the airport than we had planned on. I was actually not upset about the delay because that meant my vacation could last just a little bit longer.
Hello, my bucket list, friends! I had a great vacation in Tennessee, and I’m excited to tell you more about the fun and adventures I had while I was there. Without any more delay, let’s get to it!
June 29th
The big highlight of this day was going to Parrot Mountain and gardens. This is like a zoo that is focused on birds. You get to hold and feed some of the birds here. I loved seeing the big, colorful parrots here but they do have many different kinds of birds. I do recommend going to this fun and interesting place. I’m very glad that I went to this place during my vacation. It was a whole lot of fun ! The other highlight of this day was going to eat at a Mexican restaurant. It was another good day of vacation.
June 30th
This day was one that was packed full of activities! We started off the day by visiting the most visited US national park, the great smokey mountains. Since we were there during peak season, we got up very early and drove the cade’s cove loop. It was a good drive, and we made some stops where I got some good pictures and a pressed penny. Our next stop was Clingman’s dome. There is quite a hike to get up to this lookout point, but it is a pretty cool spot once you get up there. After our hike, we stopped at a visitor’s center. I bought some fun items there, including another book in the series that I mentioned in my last blog post. This book is called Hello, Smokies and I was very happy to get another one of these very cute books. Before leaving the park we stopped at one more spot because it looked like a fun place to explore. I do not remember the name of this spot, but it had a cool rock structure. When we left the park we road the Ober tram. The tram was fun to ride, but it was very busy on the way up. I liked the ride down a lot better. There were some very beautiful views from the tram. As soon as we were done with the tram, we got out of the area because it was very busy. Later that evening, we went to the Alcatraz east crime museum. This is one of the most interesting museums I have ever been to. The museum covers many topics, including crime seen investigation , cold cases, famous criminal cases, and much more. One of my favorite things here was a machine where you could print out your thumbprint on a card. I highly recommend going to this museum but I would not recommend it for children. That night I went swimming at the hotel pool. As you can see, this day was a very busy but very fun vacation day.
Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’m excited to write this post about my 2nd vacation of the summer! I had a great time exploring the beautiful state of Tennessee, and I can’t wait to tell you more about it, so here we go!
June 25th
This was the day that my 2nd vacation of the summer began. It was a day where we went on two flights and then we landed in Nashville. We did not do much on the first night, of course, but I did get some fun souvenirs because we made a stop at a store before going to our hotel. Oh, we got a really cool rental car it was a BMW, and it was fun to ride around in that during our vacation, and I kind of miss it! Well, that is it for day one. Now, on to day two.
June 26th
This was the first full day of this vacation, and we had a few activities planned. In the morning we went on a bus tour of Nashville. Our tour stopped at this really neat place that had stores and other businesses. I had fun doing a free moonshine tasting and going shopping, of course. I got a cute book called Hello, Nashville. I pick up books from this series when I see them. I really enjoyed this tour. Our next adventure was going to the Tennessee State Museum. This free museum is full of many interesting things that have to do with the state of Tennessee. I recommend visiting this museum if you happen to be close to it. After that, we got some food before going to our second tour of the day. Our second tour of the day was the Grand Ole Opry. This was an exciting tour that was full of music history. I find it exciting to be in a place that you have seen on TV . My favorite part of the tour was getting to see all the dressing rooms backstage. That night, we went out to two different bars in Nashville. We also went to a souvenir store and a candy store. I love going shopping at souvenir stores, and Nashville has some really good ones. It was a great vacation day!
June 27th
This was the day that we left Nashville and visited three fun attractions. Those attractions were Rock City , the Incline Railway , and Ruby Falls. Rock City is a very interesting attraction that has great views and lots of fun art based on fairy tales. The incline railway is an attraction that I really recommend visiting if you get the chance to. I never knew that a train could go on a track that were steep. When the train gets to the top, you are rewarded with beautiful views and a gift shop. The ride back down is pretty amazing as well. Our third attraction of the day was the beautiful Ruby Falls. Before going on our tour we got some lunch at the cafeteria. The flatbread that I had there was really good. Going down to the caves was exciting, and the falls were truly beautiful. I also highly recommend this beautiful and thrilling attraction. This was a day that was full of adventure.
June 28th
On this day, we did one of my favorite things to do while traveling, we went to the zoo. We went to the Chattanooga Zoo. This zoo is on the small side, but don’t let that stop you from exploring it. I got to see some very cute and interesting animals, including a red panda, a snake neck turtle, meerkats, and a tortoise. I got to feed a giraffe, that was a lot of fun. I also got to ride the beautiful carousel here twice. I loved that the horse I rode on had a purple ribbon on it. Our second adventure of the day was going to the Lost Sea adventure. This attraction is where you get to visit an underground lake. It was truly amazing to get to ride on a boat underground. I recommend visiting this exciting attraction if you get the chance to.
Thank you for reading this part of my Tennessee adventure.
Hello, my bucket list, friends! There has been a lot going on in my life lately. Some of it has been good, like crossing off bucket list items and shopping at fun places like Five Below and Target, but on the other hand, I got bronchitis. It has been hard to keep up with blogging, but I will get there. For now, please enjoy the third and final part of my Missouri vacation!
June 13th – On this day of vacation, I crossed off a big bucket list item when I went parasailing! Before we went parasailing, I had a fun time feeding fish. They had fish food that you could buy, and large fish, including cat fish, came to eat the food when it was thrown into the lake. Going Parasailing was amazing, and I highly recommend it to anyone who does not have a fear of heights. It feels like you are flying. I’m so glad that I bought the photo package. The photos turned out great! It was also fun having my toes dipped in the water. I was very happy to cross this item off my bucket list, and I would love to do it again. Our next activity was going hiking at Ha Ha Tonka State Park. It was a beautiful place to explore. Our hike had a lot of stairs, and it was a warm day, so needless to say that I was very happy to be back in the air-conditioned car when our hike was complete. After the hike we went to the visitor’s center where I bought some things to remember this very beautiful state park. After our adventures, it was time to eat. We went to a really nice restaurant that had good views and a good veggie burger. Later on in the day, we went to a go cart track. I road with my mom because driving is not my thing. I enjoyed the ride. It was a very adventurous day of vacation.
June 14th – On this day, we left Lake of the Ozarks and went back towards where the airport is because we were leaving early the next day. We still had one day left to have fun, and that is what we did. Our first big adventure of the day was going to Buc-ee’s . I had never gotten a chance to go before, and now that I had one, I was gonna take it. I do have to say that this was one of the most busy places that we visited on our vacation. I love how this place stays on theme. I just had to take a picture with the beaver statue out in front. when I was in the store, I got to meet Buc-ee himself! I did a good amount of shopping here. I’m happy to say that I’m the owner of a Buc-ee beaver plush and more cute items from this place. I had a lot of fun there but the next place I went to was so amazing. I really hope I get to go back there some day. That place is the world’s largest toy museum complex. There are two buildings filled with displays of all different kinds of toys! My favorites included the amazing collection of 90’s lion king toys, the Crayola display, The Star Trek toys, The My Little Pony collection, the TY beanie babies, and the room full of Barbies! I spent a good amount of the in the Barbie room. It was a very impressive collection. There are also fun things outside of the museum, including a large Barbie Roller skate. After the museum we had some time before our next activity so we went to a park. It was a cute park and it was a good place to spend some time before we went to see a wonderful play that evening. We saw the Queen Esther play at Sight and Sound theatres. To say this play was awesome would be an understatement! It was truly something that everyone should see. The theater itself was an amazing work of art. If you ever get the chance to go see a play here, I highly recommend it!
June 15th – This was the day we went home. We had a very early flight, so we did not get much sleep at all. In the airport that morning, I did my last round of souvenir shopping before getting on the plane to go home. It was a great vacation!
