    You're an amazing young lady, Chelsea.
    I really admire your attitude and perseverance to overcome the challenges that you run across. I commend you on knowing what you can and can not do, but look and find a way to do what you want. I am glad that you enjoyed your trip and that got to do the things you wanted to.
    I love your beautiful smile and your personality. I don't think anyone could be around you and be in a bad mood. Chelsea, I think the more videos you have and the more you do, will be an inspiration to anyone living with challenges.
    I'm not going to call you disabled, you are challenged, but I wouldn't say disabled. The only disability people have are the ones they place on themselves.
    God bless you, young lady and I hope you are blessed on your journey through life.❤ 👍 👍

    Looks like alot of fun, they were very accommodating on the incline train , I can understand why you have a fear of falling off your scooter, I tried to tackle a steep hill with my bike and trailer after shopping at lowes yesterday, halfway up, no go , me and the bike fell over crashing to the street, I got up and pushed up the rest of the way cussing, im also a fan of ipa,s , new England style is my favorite, it has a juicy mouth feel , ill be drinking one while watching the Stanley cup playoffs, go bruins , I know one food I would eat in TN, a BBQ pulled pork sandwich , great video Chelsea, new york

  • @Will-lh5yg
    @Will-lh5yg Před rokem +3

    Can't wait for part 2! Thanks for another amazing video of your travels and adventure. I love that you can experience all the awesome sites and eats and drinks and local flavor. Pizza and calzon look scrumptious! Incline seems kinda scary but I know you are used to going outside your comfort zone for that experience and the memories. The off roading thru the woods looked like so much fun! Thanks for the scenic journey and beautiful smiles.
