HOME!
When we left Nashville around ten Friday night, there was to be no sleeping. In Coaches words “this is a production, no sleeping aloud!” In other words, not that I slepp well on buses anyway…Coach decided it would be best if the lights were kept on and everyone could be as loud as they wanted (Including him). In other words I got about two hours (maybe) of sleep that night.
We...
Day Nine.
The next day in Nashville we woke up around 9 and loaded the bus. Brandon (again) suggested one of Nashvilles famous pankake breakfast cafes, and well, lets just say, famous was an understatement. The food was mouthwatering! Everything that was on my plate was delicious. We even saw (some met) a some what celebrity. I never watch the show or have heard of him, but MJ from the Real World Philly was...
Day Eight.
Our last full day on Springbreak was in Nashville. We got to the hotel around five and walked in to a marvelous hotel. When we got up to our rooms we were amazed. The rooms were huge with sleep time beds! We couldnt believe it! We met downstairs around 6 and headed to downtown Nashville. Our stomachs wouldnt stop growling so the first thing we did was find a place to eat. Brandon seemed to be a...
Day Seven
Our day started out with waking up and going downstairs to Krispy Kreme doughnuts! After we loaded the bus and everyone started dozing off, I got more and more into the book I had bought the previous day. As of now Im almost to page 450 and have 100 left!!! I am obsessed!!!!!!! When we got to Charlotte North Carolina we arrived at the Nascar Speedway. Mostly everyone went in except for me Alex...
Day Six
Today was a very fun day! We woke up realllly early but it was all worth it once we got to Virginia Beach around noon. I knew the day was going to be awesome when as soon aas we walked in our room we had a sea side view of the Atlantic ocean and we starting FEEDING THE PELICANS! Im not joking. At first it started with us throwing wheat thins and apple cinnamon crisps at them but then Brook Fran...
Day Five? (or possibly six!)
Today was an eye opening experience in Washington D.C. We woke up and went to the NEWSeum and I personally learned a TON. We walked around the museum and looked at tons of past newspapers from years dating back to 1920 up to the 2009 presidential election. After that we walked to the Holocaust Museum and that was also very educational of course but the experiences the jews had to go through just...
Day Five
I cant believe this is already day five! Today was a relaxing and much needed day for the most part. We got to sleep in a little bit and left our hotel in New Jersey around noon. We were headed to DC! When we arrived we checked in and didn’t waste any time! We were shortly headed to site see. Chase and I also had another package to shoot today and it I dont think it went too well. We had...
“I just saw Kelton’s leg…..”
New York City
Sorry I didn’t post last night, I know everyone is real torn up about it. We got home really late ad I was exhasted and didn’t feel like typing. So this is our experience of the NYC….
First we left at nine thirty. Well, actually it was about nine forty five because one of our producers, Charles McDonald, took forever to do his hair. What a girl. We left and the bus took us to...
Day Four
Today was an exciting/exhausting day. We got up at 6 Springfield time so all five of us girls could take a shower. We got ready and went to breakfast and then left for NYC! We got to New York and first went to Central Park. After we went to the subway and bought our handy dandy metro passes and took the subway to CANAL STREET! It was definitely an experience! It took us a little while to find what...
Listen
Day Three
We arrived in Cleveland around 11 last night. Frances, Alex, Sarah, and I went and worked out and went back to our AWESOME huge hotel room and finished our blogs. We got up and went down to breakfast (which was in the hidden room “M”) and then loaded the bus and headed for JERSEY. Chase and I had the “On the Bus” feature for the day so we did that, but I decided to start...
Day Two
Last night was so much fun! When we finally arrived at our hotel we got our luggage up to our 4*5 size room hotel (not kidding, literally we have 5 people in a room smaller than mine. Keep in mind we each carry AT LEAST two suit cases!) We spent about an hour in our room and then headed downtown to eat. We ate at Ed Debevics, a place where the waiters are purposely rude to you! It was soo funny...
Right now we are at Camp STN in Chicago Illinios!...
Day One
My alarm went off at 5:15 am and I was exhausted. I didn’t want to get out of bed, but knew I was going to be in Chicago hours later! So I got up (eventually) finished packing took a shower and left for Hillcrest! When I got there the bus wasn’t there! So we waited about ten minutes, and the bus still was not there. Coach finally decided to call our bus driver Eli. Eli said he was...
FIVE DAYS TIL TAKE-OFF!
There are not many times where I will actually be excited about waking up at 5:30 am, but on Tuesday morning I definitely will be! Coach told us we have to be at Hillcrest by 6:30 am (which really means 6:55) and leave by 7. Spring Break doesnt officially start until Friday at 2:45, but for HTV ours starts Wednesday! Not only that, but our first stop is one that I am most excited for because its...
