Miss America's Outstanding Teen Pageant, Orlando, FL

I just got home from the Miss America's National Oustanding Teen Pageant in Orlando Florida. What a blast! I was able to be there to support Maine's Outstanding Teen, Mallory Lavoie, and also, meet 37 of the 52 Miss America contestants. The night I flew in, the Miss America contestants all went to dinner at Olive Garden, where we had a chance to meet each other for the first time. After that, we all went to watch the third night of the MAOT Preliminary Competition.

The following day, we all took a VIP tour of Magic Kingdom. We had fun exploring, going on the rides, and still getting to know one another. It was a long day, but we got star treatment! That evening I attended the Gala, where we had a nice dinner in support of Meghan Miller, the first MOAT.

On Saturday, The MA contestants all went to lunch at Planet Hollywood. We wore our CMT shirts (CMT is the network that hosts Miss America), did photoshoots, and introduced ourselves to everyone that was eating at the restaurant.
