Poems on Pillows and Check-in Chandeliers

What’s up guys? I have one more thing about Philadelphia to tell you about. I stayed at an awesome hotel called the Kimpton Hotel Monaco Philadelphia.



When we walked in, we were greeted by a doorman holding the door for us. The lobby is beautifully decorated with comfortable, antique-meets-modern furniture, chandeliers over the check-in desk, and an array of Japanese paintbrushes hanging on the wall behind the check-in area.



The room was a decent size with two big beds and a nice bathroom. The room also had neat wallpaper with lots of intricate designs. I liked the decorative pillows on the bed, especially the one with the poem about a bed on it: “O bed! O bed! Delicious bed! That heaven upon earth, to the weary head!”



If you are going into Philadelphia, I would recommend this as a place to stay. It is within walking distance of almost all of the historic area of Philly, and it is a beautiful place to sleep and relax. So check it out!

    If I ever make it back to Philly, I'll have to stay at The Kimpton Hotel Monaco! How could I not stay there after that recommendation!

Fun in the Sun at Sun-N-Fun!

Welcome back! I have someplace really fun to tell you about, called Sun-N-Fun. Sun-N-Fun is a private RV resort in Sarasota, Florida, but from April to Labor Day the pool and some activities there are open to the public. The pool area features an Olympic-size pool, an inflatable obstacle course floating on an indoor pool, a tall twisty waterslide, two hot tubs, a poolside bar and grill, and sometimes bungee jumping and "the Meltdown." The indoor obstacle course is made by Wibit Sports and is set up on the surface of an indoor pool. There are two long strips of obstacles, going in opposite ways. It is kind of something like American Ninja Warrior , with things to run on, jump over, and climb up. I really liked the Wibit. It is fun to challenge and race your friends, but also go by yourself and get better at it. In my opinion, one side was easier than the other, but both were fun. Every time you do it, you get a little bit better. I think falling off and...

Cool Stay at Coronado Springs

Image
Hi everyone! I’m really sorry that I haven’t posted in so long, but this summer, I’m back! Over this Memorial Day weekend, I visited Walt Disney World with friends and family, and I had a great time! First, our amazing hotel. We stayed at Coronado Springs (click here for their website), a resort we had never stayed at before. Coronado Springs is a Mexican-themed resort, featuring Disney’s very own Tres Caballeros. Inside the common area, or El Centro, you can find a sit-down restaurant, called the Maya Grill, Rix Sports Bar and Grill, a large food court, and a gift shop. In the center of the resort, there is a large lake with a sandy area surrounding it. On this sandy area, you can find many hammocks to relax on (which I thought was really cool). The hotel itself is great, but so is the location! Coronado Springs is only a very short drive or bus ride away from Epcot and Animal Kingdom, and not too far away from Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom. The gu...

Whirling Down Slides and Wading in Streams

Image
Hey guys! I have another entry about Pennsylvania for you!! I went to the Kids' Castle Playground , located in Central Park in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.  The castle is made of mostly wood, something you don’t see on as many playgrounds today. It is like a maze inside, because there are so many twists, turns, and many different ways to go. I would not recommend it for claustrophobic people because some of the tunnels and pathways can get small and narrow! Did you know that the playground is eight stories tall? There are two green, enclosed tube slides. The slides start at a very high part of the castle. They are very twisty and are kind of like a giant spiral down. Something else I like about the playground is that it has lots of pieces of artwork on it, as can be seen above. The playground also has a smaller “pirate ship” for little kids to play on, and some other things to do such as two “rock” towers you can climb on. Just behind the fenced...
