Our sad last trip to Puerto Rico

This is our last trip, which is a VERY VERY sad time for us all. The good part is that we are stopping in Porta Rico which is the best possible place that we could have landed. Here is what we did while we were there. As soon as we got there we went straight to the hotel. The hotel was the wonderful and amazing.......Sheraton Old San Juan Resort, and it only costs us........$657.00. It came with free breakfasts in the morning. (which as you know we love breakfast in the hotel for the P.J. reason plus Breanna likes to wear her monkey pajamas when ever she can) On the first day we went and checked out the local store like we always do and got
a very good lunch of Ramon noodle soup that for four of us costs $20.00 ( it was $5.00 for each of the cups.) Savanah got the shrimp soup, Desiree got the chicken noodle soup, Katelynn got the chicken also, and Breanna got the chicken flavor too. For dinner we had a very nice steak which we bought at the store. We spent 46.87 for very good steaks. On the second day that we were there we went back to the store and got thigns for sandwiches for the rest of the time that we were going to be there. Which costs us $45.76 for lunch and dinner. We are very sorry that the last trip was so so so so so so so so very borring but we wanted relax on our last trip. So we did very little things other than going to th beach. OMG!!!! I almost forgot to tell you that we spent a total of $47.89. Now the whole trip would cost us a total of $817.00!!!
THAT IS AMAZING THAT WE CAN SPEND THAT LITTLE AND HAVE SUCH A GREAT TIME TO ME!!!!
BBBBBBBBBBBBBYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hershey, PA; The Chocolaty Place on Earth!

HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our hotel is called the Days Inn! Its Awesome!!! It has two queen beds and it is non-smoking. In total for all three nights we spent $864.00. (That is one night in the Hershey's Hotel)

This is our second to last stop and we are all sad its coming close to an end. Well we are visiting Hershey, PA as you can see already. This trip was Breanna's favorite for one reason and one reason only. THE CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!!!! We went (chocolate) shopping and (chocolate) ate at
many good (chocolate) places and finally lets talk about the places that involve chocolate. Well i guess we should go in order. Shopping: We went shopping at a place called Hershey's Gift. We bought one thing like one chocolate card. Well we only bought one because those things were huge! They were made purely of chocolate except the frosting! I was in Heaven!!! Did I mention it was 3 pounds!!!So we specially designed it for our trip so we put "DSBK" all over it in blue icing. It was delicious! We only bought one thing for us to share because we knew each of us would have gone insane! In total we spent $36.50. We ate at a place called Canary Cafe. Savanah and I had Ceaser Salads. Desiree and Katelynn got Prime Bone-In Pork Chop. Savanah got Pan Seared Catfish, and I got Chicken Artichoke. In all for dinner we spent $67.00. We had no desert because we had already had a three pound pure chocolate card. :(.
Well day 2 was mostly a drag because we spent most of the time yesterday focusing on the chocolate so what we did th whole day was swim. We practicly looked like prunes when we got out of the pool!!!
Time for departure once again. We went through and put our luggage up. Most of the prunieness went away after a while. We all went to sleep on the plane hoping that the good feeling of the chocolateness wouldn't go away.
The plane ride was long to San Juan but you can't know what happens next.

Your great trip to Tampa and Miami

We actually went to Florida!!! Can you believe that? Sadly I can't believe it. OK!! This is what we did as soon as we got into Florida we headed straight to the beach!!!!! It was AMAZING!!! Have you ever been to Florida or a beach where the water was sparkling and you could go about a mile away from the shore and see really really deep into the water. We didn't have to bye that many gifts at the gift shops because we found so many good shells that we can give to
people. Even though we found a lot of shells that we could give away we still had to get some other things, but we only spent a total of $36.42 which was way less than we thought that we would spend. My favorite thing that we did while we were there was we went to a local store that sold food, (we like seeing all of the local things and foods that they sell in places across the country.) and got things for hot dogs, and then we went down to the beach and had a bonfire. Those were the best hot dogs that I have ever eaten in my life!!! For three dinners we spent a total of $45.67 that was amazing. Know we were in Miami at night and ate dinner there, and then during the day we were at Desiree's family's house in Tampa Bay Florida, so we got free breakfast and free lunch. ( A nice home cooked meal was very nice after so much traveling.) We didn't do much during the day because we were at the beach for most of the day, because we made sandwiches in the morning so that we didn't have to go back to Tampa. We didn't even have to rent a car, because Desirre's family let us borrow one of the cars. (we had to vacium it out before we gave it back because there was sand and other things that come from the ocean. This was one of the more relaxing trips, but it was good after so many days traveling from place to place and city to city!!! In all we spent a total of 82.09. Sadly it wouldn't us the same amout as it would cost you because you would have to get a hotel and ren ta car and get a lot more things than we had to.
SEE YOU ON THE NEXT TRIP!!!!!!!

Our trip to Savannah GA!!

This may not be my favorite place that we went to but it sure is one of them! The reason for that is it has my name in it (the difference is that mine is spelled Savanah and it is spelled Savannah!) that is OK though! We stayed at the beautiful Howard Johnson Hotel and it only costs $228.42 for one room for three nights. As you know we like to stay at places that have a free breakfast in the morning and this stay was no different than the others and that breakfast was amazing! Every morning we were there we ate the buffet that they had given us. One more
thing that makes me love Savannah is that they have a lot of ghost tours. The amazing part was that I talked everyone into going to a tour every night which was awesome to me because I love ghosts and anything that has to so with them! The first tour was the Savannah Scary Ghost Tour it was sooo scary and it was really dark which made it even scarier that normal but sadly Katelynn was to tired to go on the tour the first night from the long trip so it only costs us $74.85 for all three of us. Earlier though we spent the day exploring the MOST HAUNTED CITY IN AMERICA in the daylight so we had something to do in the morning on the next day! We spent a total of $154.78 for people back home in Texas which is not so haunted sadly. On the second day we went to explore more of the places that we didn't get to look at the day before! My favorite part of the day was of course the haunted tour of the city and tonight we went on the Drums and Spirits Mini Bus Tour in Savannah. That was a total of $83.80 for everyone tonight. It was awesome and everyone was very very very scared from the moment that we left from the moment we got back. For lunch both day was a total of $54.78 because we went to the store and got things to microwave for lunch and dinner. Unlike we had planned we didn't get to go on the last tour because no one wanted to go with me and I wasn't about to go by my self. We left early the next morning and spent a total of $372.21 for the entire trip!
BBBBBBBYYYYYYYYEEEEEE!!!!!
SEE YOU SOON!!!

Nashville, Tenessee

Hey y'all! Here we are in the wonderful city and state of Nashville,Tennessee! Our hotel in which we stayed in was called Sheraton Nashville downtown. It cost us a total of $260.50. We had such a blast there with a continental break-fast and a wheel chair accessible room just in case one of us broke a walking bone. We had breakfast every morning in our pajamas of course. Desiree went down in her Mickey Mouse pajamas, Savanah in her purple plaid pants and Happy Bunny top, Katelynn in her camouflage pajamas, and Breanna in her Monkey pajamas! I thought
people were going to look at us crazy but when we got down there we all looked the same with wake up hair and clothes. After break-fast we all went up stairs to get ready. The first thing we did while there was go shopping of course there was this little hole in the wall shop that we just had to go to. In total we spent $213.90. There was so many awesome stores to go to so being girls we had to go into everyone of them and I think that with every store that we went into we each bought at least one thing!!!! After all the fun shopping that we did it was time to get some lunch. Know for lunch we ate at a very good place called Cory's BBQ!! It was AMAZING and it costs a total 35.78 for everyone to have a very messy but great lunch! (We all got ribs and they were the best ribs that I have ever eaten in my life) After that we were stuffed, so we went to walk off some of food, so we went to explore the city. Sadly though we........got lost a few times and we had to ask for directions. (we were embarrass to have to ask) We were so stuffed that we weren't that hungry, but we knew that if we didn't get some food that we were going to get hungry when it was time to eat dinner, so on the way back to the hotel we went to a gas station and got some chips and drinks and a bunch of junk food to go with it! It only costs us $23.54 for a lunch that was bad for us, but was GREAT! We went back to the hotel so that we weren't on the side of the rode or something. We ate and then relax which was good because we had been walking sense we left the breakfast that morning. After we were hungry enough to eat we got ready for bed (because it was about 10:00pm) The next morning we ate at..........THE HOTEL BREAKFAST!!! Just like we did the morning before and it was just as good. So after that we got ready and went to explore of the city that we didn't get to do the day before. We also got to do some more shopping which was great for us because you know that we love to shop. We spent only $21.98. (that was AWESOME because in total for all of the shopping we spent 235.88. For lunch we took some of the things from breakfast that we didn't eat and ate them at a picnic table. After that we got lost some more and went back to the hotel. For dinner we ate the left over junk food from the night before! Sadly though we only got to spend one more day there! On the last day that we were there we went to a local store that sold food and bought things for lunch and dinner (of course!). OK so we bought things like steak and potatoes for dinner, and hamburgers for lunch in all we spent $35.88. I guess that means that we have to leave Nashville and leave you so in total with the trip we spent......wait for it.........535.26!!!! For an awesome trip!
BBBBBYYYYYEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our trip to Alabama

We went to Mobile Alabama!!! It was so much fun, because we went on a tour of.....wait for it..... on an awesome battle field tour it was egicational and fun at the same time. We got to say were soldiers and battles so many years ago that was one of my favorite part because you can just emagin what happened right where you are standing. You know SHOULD be wondering how much this cost for us and how much it would cost you to have the same great experiance that we had.

Our great and wonderful hotel we stayed was The Battle House: A Renaissance Hotel, and for 3 nights with 2 queen beds in one room so we had to get 2 rooms it was amazing to me it was just $338.00.
one thing we did while in mobile is went and visited Alligator Alley. It costed us $36 in total for Alligator Alley.It took our tour guide two whole hours to take us half a mile.The only thing that really mattered to me was that we could grab a bite while we were there. I mean i was hungry with a capital H! Although there was no food servicce. Instead we ate at something nearby and connvienent. we ate at a resturaunt called Najo Fine Dining. We ordered the Kobe Beef Hanger Steak because everything else on the menu looked gross. For desert we decided to only order two things and share to spend less money. We ordered Chocolate pot de creme. (remember to roll the r in creme) and berries and cream. in total with desert and dinner we had a total of $148. It tasted good!!! One more activity that we did was go to Market On The Square. We bought tons of candythe road. For example we bought junior mints for Savanah, a Hersheys bar for Breanna, a kit-kat for Desiree, and a M&Ms for Katelynn. In total we spent $2.40. We spent our last day relaxing and packing our stuff. we were all sad to leave but we still had lots of other places to visit. We checked out and looked at our schedule to see our next stop .
See you on our next blog.

Our trip to New Orleans

OK! This makes it official New Orleans was by far one of my favorite trip that we went on!!!! We went on this amazing ghost tour that was awesome but also very scary too. The reason for that is because we went to this cemetery were they put so many people in one place that they couldn't fit anyone else. Know you may be wondering what is so scary about that the reason they had to fit more people so they had to move them around which is a VERY VERY bad thing that you can do.They even had a woman that was like the queen of voodoo buried there too, and they told us to write an X on her tomb but we thought that was a bad idea so we didn't. Know that only costed us $60.00 for an amazingly scary time that was also my favorite tour that we
went on so far!!!! (We bought our tickets online so we got a special discout of...........$15.00 for each of us AMAZING RIGHT!!!) I think we used a whole role of film taking pictures of everything. (I think that we all hope that we see a ghost in it but also a little scared about it too.
OK! I will know tell you about the wonderful and amazing Holiday Inn Express. That only costed us $300.00 for three nights that were amazing. They also had a breakfast so every morning we had breakfast there at the hotel. (Which was a very good thing because we could just go down in our PJ's and no one would care) We also had alot of fun swimming, tanning, staring, ect.The places we ate at were..... The first day was The Embers Steak House. We all had to stay cheap so we all ordered the same thing. We ordered 4 grilled chicken platters. For desert we had a chocolate suicide cake!!! I almost died by looking at it!! In total we spent 47.80. The second day we were there we ate cheap. We ate at very cheap but very good place...........it was Wendy's(you may have heard of it, but I'm not sure.) We spent a total of $20.00 for four burgers and four frosty's. Finaly we are at the third day we ate the breakfast at the hotel it was awesome!! For lunch we had some junk food from the gas station and we spent a total of $16.67. When we ate dinner though we had some AMAZING fish that we bought at the local grocery store that only costed us 10.76. For the whole trip for us costs 470.23!!!!

Our trip to San Antonio

We finally got to go to the Alamo in.............San Antonio Texas!!!!!! Now you are probably wondering what we did and how much this AWESOME trip costs and how much it might cost you to go there like we did. OK now let me start telling you about what we did. When we got in we went straight to the AMAZING river walk (that was one of my favorite things we did the whole time we were there it was so cool). Now for the hotel we stayed at this hotel named Days Inn I know what you are thinking it sounds like it would be terrible but it was amazing. We got this two great rooms that both had two beds in it. The best part was how much was for the two rooms for three days it was $181.00. (That was amazing). If you want to checkout things that you can do in San Antonio you can go to the link. You know how we went to the river walk we spent $400.00 because we went shopping and ate lunch (that was really good). The one bad thing that we wanted to go to sea world but sadly we didn't (on the plus side we saved a lot of
money!) OMG I almost forgot to tell you about when we went to the Alamo we learned so much when we were there we had so much fun. We spent a total of $50.00 when we bought things for everyone back home. The funny part about when we bought everything for everyone it took us about thirty minutes because they had everything that we wanted and it was very very cheap too!!! ( that was very fun and awesome!) We also went to this place where you can look at animals that are extinct or are animals that you don't get to see that often. One more cool thing about it is that it is suppose to be haunted which makes it awesome to me. (I love haunted things no matter what they are.) When we went there we took a lot and I mean a lot of pictures. It was a little scary because you would just be walking and all the sudden you would want to put your jacket on. It was also a gift shop and that is where we got some of our things for everyone back home... we spent a total of $40.00. We ate at redlobster on one the riverwalk because it had a great view of everything, and we just spent 42.95 for everything!!! For lunch while we were there we went to one of the local grocery stores and got things like hotbogs, hamburgers, other things that we can grill. We went to the park and cooked everything there and ate it at the park, and had a lot of fun. We spent a total of $37.85 for all of the lunches. The best part was how much it costs and it was........$752.80.
HOPE YOU WANT TO GO TO SAN ANTONIO LIKE WE DID!!!!

Our trip to Irvine Utah

Our next stop is Ivin's,Utah. We are going to a spa at the Red Mountain Spa and Resort . It's going to be AWESOME!!!! We are so exited!! We also are going to go hiking and shopping!!! It's going to be a time to relax, have some fun and flush all our thoughts and think about having fun! When we went shopping we spent a total of $100.00 for everyone.(We didn't shop that much.) For everyone to go to the spa it would cost about $1200.00. The hotel came with the $1200.00 for the spa. We got a special deal when we went there and it came with three meals a day. OK I can't talk for everyone else but my favorite part of the trip was the day at the spa, it
was SO relaxing. (I think that was everyone else's favorite too!) Another thing that we did while we were there we got to go on guided hiking tours everyday and it was so REALLY COOL!! When we went on the hike the first day we almost got lost because we desided that we wanted to go exploring on our own, so we left the giude and went off the trail after about 5 minutes we found out that we had gotten lost so we started yelling for help. After about 10 more minutes the giude found us and said that we were about 1 mile away from the trail (we were running through the forest) so the walk back took us about 30 minutes. When we got back to the hotel we were really hungery so we went to the FREE lunch (it was so good) We got this very special package called the Signature Package. If you want to go to the Red Mountain Spa. Oh I almost forgot to tell you about how we got there, OK we got there by plane it took about 2 hours which was ok for a plane ride. The tickets costed a total of well we don,t really know right know but we will tell you in our next blog. When we waiting for the plane our plane got delayed for about an hour. (That was NOT fun at all) We had to get a snack while we waited because we had already been there for a while.

In San Jose we are going to visit the Winchester house and WOW I am so excited and happy and amazed and I think I should stop now. Anyway I am Desiree and I will be doing the blog for San Jose. Well the flight to San Jose From DFW was long, well only about a little bit less than 4 hours. The flight was $290 per person so to pay for all of us it would be $1,160. I also booked our flight in first class cause that is a long trip so I want to be comfortable. But the flight was great. First we need the car, a shuttle took us to the car rental place called Almo maybe you heard of it? The car is a silver Maxima. The Car rental place is not that far only 3 miles COOL RIGHT!!!!!!! So guess what hotel we are staying at, the great and beautiful Saint Clarie. Well I love it the hotel's food. The food is free except at dinner it is $15 per person I found out about the room we are staying in, it is a Double Dexule Suite. But the best part is that it has a hot tub it has a health club, pool indoor and outdoor.I LOVE IT THERE AND I AM SERIOUS!!!!!!!! So if you want to check it out heres the website http://www.thesaintclarie.com/. Ok now to the best part why we went to San Jose ............The Winchester House . If you don't know about the Winchester House then I'll tell you, There was this lady called Sarah Winchester,and her husband and child died so she start having the kinds of ghost meeting and finds out her famiuly is cursed. Her husband in a ghost form told her that she needs to get all the money from the bank and sell the house and build one all by your self, and she did, one day there was a bad storm coming and a earthqauke which destroyed all her work but she didn't stop working she started all over again because ahe wanted to live. One day she had not worked on the house at all that day, after having a ghost meeting she went to bed she had died in her sleep in July 1992. But the house is haunted and scary we put some pictures that way we can see how looked like. We have a picture of the whole house how it looks today. But it was cool we spend a total of $50.00 for gifts and souvuioners there.

OK, well the Winchester house was great and the nights sleep was good and now we are driving 5 hours and 39 min. to the Santa Monica Pier. It was 339 miles so boy we were tried of driving. But it was worth it. We had so much fun we rode roller coasters and Wow all I can say is wow! We also went to the santa monica pier aquarium. It was awesome.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
