Saw “Black Phone” Movie
June 24, 2022 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 81 °F
We saw the new “The Black Phone” movie in theaters. We were in a higher-end theater, so much so that there were probably around 50 speakers throughout the room, and the seats rumbled with the movie audio. It was very cool, and the movie scared my sister quite a bit.Read more

GoKarts!
June 25, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 81 °F
We rode on a GoKart track after exploring the city and shopping for souvenirs. It was fun, but my kart was FAR slower than all the others, so I was pretty much all alone.
This GoKart track was really advanced, with special power ups that you claim by running them over, which can affect both you and others. The karts also talk to you constantly.Read more

We are reboarding the Harmony of the Seas to leave CocoCay. It was a good day.

Fun Activities (+ Rock Climbing Wall)
June 28, 2022, North Atlantic Ocean ⋅ ⛅ 82 °F
Today, we went down both of the massive Ultimate Abyss slides onboard the ship, then relaxed at the pool for a while. We never could get in the pool to swim because it was completely full of people. I did get more sunburnt, but only on my watch tan-line meaning my watch is painful.
(4:41 PM) Later on, my dad and sister climbed one of the Harmony’s two huge rock climbing walls. I chickened out from doing it and took pictures instead. The thought of how tall it was, even with the harness, may have actually caused me to pass out.

Note: as of right now, the pictures I took aren’t public for the privacy of my family. However, you can find pictures of how large the wall is on Google. Just search for “Harmony of the Seas Rock Climbing Wall” or something similar.Read more
