Mom and my dad took me on my first airplane trip down to Florida. This is where I got my wings for being a first time flyer. It was so exciting going fast down the runway. To this day, that is still my favorite part of the whole airplane ride.
We flew down to Tampa, FL, where we stayed with Grandpa and Grandma Gonyo. They had bought a small camper and stayed at Palm View Gardens in Zephyrhills, which was about 45 minutes northeast of Tampa.
We went to Disney World, Cypress Gardens, and Busch Gardens. Of course, I did get my Mickey Mouse ears and wore them proudly.
Cypress Gardens was so beautiful back then. They were known for their women dressing in the full southern belle dresses, carrying an umbrella, walking around the beautifully, manicured gardens.
Busch Gardens had a bunch of different animals, much like a safari. It didn’t have the rides, which it now has today.
It was a great trip for someone almost 7 yrs old. I think all children should have the experience of going to Disney World when they are young.
