Disney World with Nana day 1

The day has finally arrived! The first blog of Ireland's 5 year old trip!! The first day was also the travel day. So there aren't many pictures from actually Disney that day. But there are a few... Nana let Ireland be in charge of the camera a lot of the time. So there are some pretty awesome pictures! It is funny to see what looks cool and important from a 5 year olds eyes!
So I will turn it over to Ireland now...

This is my very first day at Disney World with just me and my Nana.
I took that picture of my Nana when I was riding on the bus.
This is the video on the bus. I watched it with Nana. I loved the characters! I brought Bob.
This is the bus too. Nana wasn't really smiling. I met a new friend.
This is my favorite teddy bear, Bob. I didn't leave him on the bus. He loved the tv!
The other one Nana was smiling... this one she wasn't. My new friend took it.
This picture I was so excited! This was my very first hotel! But Splash Mountain was closed. The hotel didn't have the #13 floor. Because it's not lucky. I had floor 14. There was a beautiful view from up there!
I took this picture! Nana's excited!! I was really excited to take it!
We had a beautiful window set.
I didn't get a very good picture of that train. Its too small. But I really liked that train any way. I got to stand up on every ride of it!!
This is Nana on the Mickey bus to go see Fantasmic! I loved it!!
I took this picture of the bus. I thought you would like to see the Mickey bus. I liked the Mickey bus soooo much!
This is at the hotel bus stop. It was a hard time waiting for the bus. Because it took a bit of a long time.
This is Hollywood Studios. We finally got there on our bus. I didn't take Bob on this bus.
Nana took this picture. And this is me at Hollywood Studios. It was fun! I even got to make a wish!

I had so much fun at my first day! I loved it!! The end of my first day.

This blog rocks!!!! I love the pictures and the awesome explanations from Miss Ireland! :o) Can't wait for the rest!

Nana said...

Very accurate. And, she did stand up on the monorail every time. She could see better. She thought she was so grown up. Looking forward to hearing her description of the rest of the trip.

Point Break - A Perfect Bar Experience in NYC

A local friend recommended and took my Cali group to this amazing bar. He said that mostly locals came here so I didn't really know what to expect ambiance wise... but screw it, the view at this bar was absolutely breathtaking! No joke. I felt like a celebrity w/ superstar treatment as the staff are friendly and amazing to say the very least.

I don't know who the house DJ was but he definitely was playing music right up my alley. It would've been my dream for people to start dancing, but it's all good.

It's a bit sceney for my taste, but it really didn't bother me much. the bartenders knew their stuff, although their 1st cocktail was a little weak, when he saw i understood cocktails the next 2 were stronger. I also liked that even though the place was really hopping the bartender remembered what i was drinking when i came to order another. (he also understood how good a gin hendricks is, and not to overpower it with the mixer). It was amazing to see their “das boot” which is shaped like a boot filled with beer. Don’t get me wrong, I am not drunk…it’s an actual boot shaped beer container ready to be emptied..try it ..you will love it!! Oh..how can I forget, they even have a wheel o' shots where you just have to spin it and have to drink whatever shot it lands on!! Now call that bar creativity at its best!!!

We ordered the Veal and Fish Tacos. They were delicious. Mm! We ended up asking for spoons to polish off whatever remained in the platter. (Faux pas? Who cares as long as it gets in my tummy.) The fries were crispy, but not overcooked, just the way that I like them.

So take in this scene: You walk in to what seems like an overly crowded place, but soon fine an empty table. Time seems to stop and the only indicator of the night moving on is the moon and your brain cells slowly going to bed forever. The music is not to loud and the people around look good, the only thing left for you to do is to enjoy that drink you paid ridiculously low for and laugh at the joke your co-worker just told.

The vibe of the place just never seems to die out and if you happen to spot some NYC socialite, sports player, or star, don't let it get to you... because for that moment, this night they are no long more important than then you. In fact go up to them and introduce yourself!

All in all just a great place to meet new people, or just have drinks with people you already know. I've been to numerous bars in the city but i would say this place is just great. Very welcoming staff, very laid back ambiance. I’ve been here twice after my first visit with my Cali group . I would say its worth the every penny you spend!!
