So I realized this is a little late, but I thought, better late than never! As you know, I went back home to Orlando for a long 4th of July weekend. My parents still live there and the BF and I have been meaning to take a little vacay...Orlando was perfect! Free lodging, free food, quality time...can't go wrong with that.
Here's a few pics from the weekend.
The ride going there was pretty smooth. It's about 7 hours and it went by really fast. My boyfriend and I spent the whole time chatting about our childhoods so I guess the time flew by. Florida is random with rainshowers...you can drive 1 mile and be in and out of rain patches. It's crazy! Here's a rainbow we saw on the way there :)
First off, I rocked cornrows for most of the weekend! I loved it! My good friend Cindy is taking classes in hair and needed to practice on my "soft hair" lol...she's using to braiding african-american hair so she told me that my hair was more challenging. I can understand that, cuz my hair can be slippery getting in those braids. Now you see how my hair was so crimpy in the pussy cat dolls video. By the way, on my eyes I'm wearing all four colors of the pandamonium quad. And like Emilee said, "I'm not naked, I'm wearing a tube top!"
Did you know that Orlando has the biggest McDonalds in the world? My BF and I saw it on the food channel one day so we made a conscious effort to stop by there and take pics! They have gourmet food on the menu, a full arcade, two stories, gotta love it!
Me and my baby...
Me and my girl Cindy on the bikes!
My home in Orlando is only about 30 minutes from Daytona beach. I never really used to go there growing up because it seemed too touristy. However, since my BF is technically a tourist, it was okay!
Gotta wear my big hat for sun protection! I never would have done that if I hadn't started reading these beauty blogs, lol
The sky is so blue!
Check out the cool bikes and buggies you could rent...too bad we're too cheap for that!
Lastly, me, mom, dad, and their crazy dog badger. He looks harmless but he hates everybody except my mom, dad, and my brother.
