Trip To Nashville

Isn't High School great? Even though I have to get up early, at least I get back home early!
Anyways, here are the pictures and videos I took in Nashville,  I had such a great time!
Heading to Nashville! I'm super excited!
 Got a baby bottle pop at the gift shop. I can't believe they still sell them!
 Me taking a selfie, whilst I'm wearing my $6 glasses from Big Lots.
 The good lunch I had!

View at the Grand Opry Hotel. I heard that it flooded in 2010.
 
 Zoom in of the Water fall, at Sparta, Tennessee.
 THIS IS MADNESS! Madness... THIS IS SPARTA! *kicks guy*
 This was at Fall Creek Falls, if you're wondering.
 I had problems downloading the other pictures so I just took screenshots from my Instagram page.
 Doesn't that look AMAZING?
 Oh, look at that!
 Raccoon at the indoor museum.
 "The Undergrowth Of Plant Life"
Another view of the waterfall.

 I felt so adventurous this trip. It's ok to be tomboyish once in a while!
 Was very dangerous, as it was near a cliff.
 Sorry that picture 15 wouldn't upload, so we have to skip that one!
After this shot, my mom dragged me back up because she didn't want me to fall to my death.
 A view from further away.
 The scenery is just so breathtaking.
 It literally took me 2 hours from the hotel to get here, and 2 hours to get back to the hotel.
Me holding my Gatorade, and Green Apple is one of my favorite flavours. I had so much fu taking pictures here!
 
 Entrance to the national park, about the civil war.
 This is where the soldiers battled during the civil war. Very interesting.
 Saw a Walmart blimp when I was there.
 The canons they used in the war.
 You can find multiple canons here!
 Look! Here's another one!
 The cemetery where all the soldiers were buried. Thousands of people died in the war.
 Many of those people were in their late teens or early 20s, but they really wanted slavery to end for good! They worked hard!
My mom and I took a selfie before we went to the concert.
 This was filmed at the Bridgestone Arena, and they started around 8:40.
 Adam sitting on the Robot from News Of The World!
 Not a very good shot, but the special effects were pretty cool.
YES, IT'S BRI! I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M SEEING HIM!

It's funny because Roger now looks like Santa on all the other 364 days of the year.
 Who wants to live forever, the special effects are beautiful!
 Wow. Can't believe this guy is 70 already!
 Adam, love ya so much!
The closing. I couldn't sleep that night!
Here's some videos I posted to YouTube of some of the songs!
 Note that I only posted 2 of the songs, because other people have already uploaded more footage of the concert, of course!
Went to the suspension bridge, where my mom tripped on the ledge and fell into concrete.
 Luckily she was fine, but her knees were badly scraped for a few days. Ouch!
 View from the bridge, with a pretty river.
 Luckily, my mom recovered enough to take me to the Johnny Cash museum.
 A collection of Johnny Cash's singles. One of the greatest country singers of all time!
 I actually remember seeing the last music video he ever made, which was a few months before he died. It was a cover of the Nine Inch Nails song "Hurt"
 Johnny Cash made some art too!
 A view of the records in the window. Camera couldn't show them very well.
 Some of the retro clothes used in the movie.
Here's me with Johnny! This is fake, of course! (Pics and vids not in order)
 The Tennessee state capital, with flags.
 I took these pictures from a trolley, kinda reminded me of the tour buses at Italy.
 Nashville's recreation of the Parthenon. We're not in Athens, god damn it!
 They recreate the columns very well though, I must say.
 Proof that porn has existed for thousands of years.
 Another view from the trolley. We went to a mall later and got some picks and jewellery!
 Here are the time capsules scheduled to be opened in 2096, the city's tricentennial. The view was ruined by the rain.
 The best view of the towers. We also went to the state museum!
 Me holding rock candy, which I found a lot of in Tennessee, but it's rare to find rock candy in Florida. (Except for Disney World)
 Going back home! Keep in mind, we got a direct flight to Nashville, and a direct flight back to Tampa. We later got Chinese for dinner.
Ah... Home sweet home... 
Well I hope you liked them! I might take more pictures later, but it depends on whether we're traveling or going some place cool. My family and I want to go to San Francisco next year!

Florida Aquarium Trip + PHOTOS!

I work as a volunteer for my summer camp that I used to go to years ago. I went to the aquarium, and took some awesome pictures!
FUN FACT: My earliest memory is going to this aquarium when I was 2 with my mom.
 Stingrays
 Beautiful Cave
 Fish and Turtles
 Birds
 A Burmese Python
 Look! It's a gecko!
 Aww... Look at this cute lemur!
 The types of water. Some types are poisonous!
 Look at this big ass fish!
Me sitting on the shells like a weird kid!

I think you already know how to download these pictures! - Julia B.

Pictures I took in Italy and The Vatican in March of 2017.

Almost 3 months late, but here are my pictures I took in Italy and posted them on Instagram! It was the best spring break ever! These photos are for you guys who don't have or follow my instagram, which is julia_bayne.
 I even did my nails for the trip!
 Holding euros for the first time!
 Taking a selfie at the airport!
 The old apartments in Rome are kept in such good condition!
 Selfie in Rome. About to see all these beautiful sights!
This was taken in the Vatican, an enclave in Italy. I'm a proud Catholic who saw the pope! I even have a video!
 I even took a selfie at Murano, near the house color that matches my sweater!
At the leaning tower of Pisa, which is what I came for!
 Michealangelo's famous statue, the David. This was before censorship.
 In Florence. It looks beautiful, I added a sepia effect to it.
 My mom and I shopping in Florence. Keep in mind, this was a family trip!
 Under the Tuscan son. Tuscany is one of the most ancient cities in Europe.
 I took 4 pictures of the view of San Gimignano. It's such a breathtaking view!
 View #2.  This time it has a tree.
 View #3. Contains the balcony below it.
 View #4. I got gelato there, and it was the best gelato there was! My tip is to always go to what people say are the best places.
 At the cemetery where all the soldiers who died in World War II were buried. Very sad.
 The average age of the soldiers who died is 22. Talk about young!
 Me after an exhausted day going back home.
 Here's another ancient nude statue. This place is much more historical and interesting than America is.
 At the Vatican/Italy border. Imagine being born here!
 A view of the coliseum. I'm so excited to go there!
 Inside the Coliseum. My phone's battery was dying because of all the pictures and videos I took.
 The Spanish Steps. It is called that because it was actually the Spanish who built the steps.
 Trying Kinder eggs that are banned in America. However, we still allow guns! Kinder eggs are a popular treat in Europe and Canada.
 On the gondola in Venice. This was personally the part that I enjoyed the most!
 Here's 5 black and white pictures I took at the grand canal! This is shot #1!
 Shot #2. Makes me think of the Grand Canal Board in Mario Party 7.
 Shot #3. Venice is the birthplace of Antonio Vivaldi, a very famous baroque composer.
 Shot #4. I usually went out in Venice because the hotel's wifi sucked and it hasn't been updated since the 90s. There was also no outlet near the bed. I had so much fun going out, seriously!
 And finally, shot #5. America is so Deja-vu, don't you think?
 Here's a close up of the tower in color, for all you color fans out there!
 The beautiful ancient buildings and boats in Venice!
 Boarding to Murano, or Burano. Whatever!
 Shot #1 of Murano. I can already see the beautiful colors!
 Shot #2 of Murano. FUN FACT: My mom's last name is Murano, which shows that here ancestors were from this place or close to this place.
Murano is so colorful! It's usually rich and old people that live in these colorful houses.

To save these pictures, just right click, and pick "Save As" and put it to whatever folder you want to! Another method is to simply drag the photos to the folder you want them to be in. (That's what I do!)

Top 20 Worst Mario Party Minigames

Julia's back again!
I am a big fan of the Mario Party series. I have played all the parties except for 10, Island Tour, and Advance. If you're wondering... My favorite character is Waluigi with Wario being my second choice. Today I will show you my 20 WORST Mario Party Minigames.
Every Mario Party has at least one bad minigame. Either it's luck based, it involves spinning the Joystick, or you just absolutely suck at it! Here's my list! Don't be mad if a minigame you like is on this list! It's your opinion, okay? Note that I didn't make the videos...
20.Honeycomb Havoc (MP2)

Proof that just some simple math can screw people over and ruin friendships.

19.Slot Car Derby (MP1 and MP2)
 
Whenever I try to speed up, I end up spinning while the AIs are still going. Very frustrating.

18.Bowser Toss (MP3)

The controls are so awful! I never won it once in my life.

17.Crane Game (MP2)

When on a team, No matter how much I mash the A button, I always get in the pipe and what makes
it worse is that there's those clocks that extend time for the solo player to get the team.

16.Awful Tower (MP3)

The AI is godly at it, and it's hard to win it with the stupid hammer brothers!

15.Stage Fright (MP6)

It’s the reason why I’ll never beat Endurance Alley, and I can never win it when solo.

14.The Beat Goes On (MP3)

Sorry, Runaway Guys, but the reason why I put this one on the list is because it’s so long and boring, especially for a minigame!

13.Right Oar Left (MP4)

This minigame is literally impossible for human players, and the AIs are guaranteed to win. Never won this one.
12.MPIQ (MP3)

The AIs cheat on this one. They know what my best records are in mini games when I don’t know them. It’s so frustrating!

11.Bowser's Bigger Blast (MP2 and MP4)

I can’t believe this terrible minigame appeared in 2 Mario Parties! The reason I hate this one so much because it’s a LUCK BASED battle minigame, which means that you can lose coins.

10.Rakin' 'Em In (MP2)

The controls are so freakin’ delayed in this one, which makes it extremely frustrating.

9.Candlelight Flight (MP4)

The AIs are GODLY at this one, Which makes it impossible for the human player. It’s like the AIs can see in the dark!

8.Trace Cadets (MPDS)

The stupid DS can’t recognize the shapes I make with the stupid stylus! The AI is guaranteed to win.

7.Flip The Chimp (MP8)

I can never win this minigame because the motion controls are god-awful! They’re so delayed, too.

6.Get A Rope (MP5)



I hate luck based mini games like this one. You either survive, or DIE!!!!! What makes it worse is that it’s a duel minigame so you could even lose a STAR! Luck based duel mini games SUCK.

5.Pitifall (MP6)

It’s just like Get A Rope. You pick a rope, and you either survive or fall to your doom!

4.Bash 'N Cash (MP1)

This minigame REALLY REALLY SUCKS if you’re the solo player, because getting coins taken by your opponents is NOT a good feeling.

3.Paddle Battle (MP1)

You can either hurt your palm, or lose all your coins! What a very hard decision! I don’t like this one because it’s a minigame where you have to spin the joystick!

2.Pedal Power (MP1)

Another minigame that involves spinning the Nintendo 64 joystick. Now that’s painful!

Before we get to 1, let’s recap...


#20 was Honeycomb Havoc... (The game that ruins friendships!)
#19 was Slot Car Derby... (Impossible to beat Toad)
#18 was Bowser Toss... (Terrible at it!)
#17 was Crane Game... (Impossible when on a Team)
#16 was Awful Tower... (No wonder it's called "Awful" Tower)
#15 was Stage Fright... ("I HATE DIS GAME!")
#14 was The Beat Goes On... (Baza Baza Baza)
#13 was Right Oar Left... (Stupid AI!)
#12 was M.P.I.Q... (Mario Party Intelligence Quotient)
#11 was Bowser's Bigger Blast (Yes, Both Versions.)
#10 was Rakin' 'Em In (NOOOOOOO! I GOT THE POISON MUSHROOM!)
#9 was Candlelight Flight (Hard to win on both sides)
#8 was Trace Cadets (UGH I CAN'T DRAW ANYTHING)
#7 was Flip The Chimp (MP8 wasn't as good anyways)
#6 was Get A Rope (Luck based minigames suck)
#5 was Pitifall (See "Get A Rope")
#4 was Bash 'N Cash (A nightmare for the solo player)
#3 was Paddle Battle (Oww, the joystick is hurting my palm!)
#2 was Pedal Power (AKA The Ghost Level)

AND NOW… THE WORST MINIGAME IN MARIO PARTY HISTORY... IT IS NO OTHER THAN… YOU GUESSED IT!

1.Tug O' War (MP1)

OWW! MY *BLEEP* PALM! This minigame is famous for giving people physical injuries! I have to spin that stupid joystick unless I wanna lose coins! It gives me physical injuries.

PS: I also hate Mathletes from MP5, Sneak N Snore from MP2, Cut For The Team from MP8, Something's Amist from MP6 and Mecha Choice from MP9.

Now that is my list! Stay tuned for the top 20 best Mario Party minigames! Hope you enjoyed!
