The Biggest update post Ever

So... i havent uploaded for about three weeks and well i did a lot ready? okay now go!

Florida keys, Miami, Atlanta, Nashville, Memphis and Santa Fe.

The keys were great i loved the hotel and the views went snorkelling and fishing and biking witch were all very fun!

Miami was great (see post below for everglades) went to the beach at a lovely hotel and i really liked the center of town.

Next was Atlanta where I went to Coca-cola world and legoland. Coca-cola world was pretty much the same as Willy Wonka's chocolate factory (well except without the little green people singing!) Legoland was much smaller than I imagined, but still fun!

Then we went to Nashville where we went to a real country bar and saw and listend to lots of country songs.

My parents went to Memphis 15 years ago and wanted to take us there too. It was a beautiful hotel which inhabited ducks! Yes you read correctly, ducks! They marched up to there room at 5 o'clock and came back down the next morning at 11 to stay in a pond until 5pm. This tradition actually started by a prankster who put the ducks there. Then the next morning he expected everyone to be running around after the ducks, but when he did come down they had stayed there all night! The people watching this said it was fun to watch and that they should keep it a tradition, that was over 50 years ago!

Santa Fe is great i havent seen all of it yet but we will go to some museum and see the scenery i also like the "Adobe" architecture.
