Disney Recap

First off . . .I admit it . . . I would like to write more often but too many times come up with the greatest blog posts while I am laying in bed and am too lazy to get out of bed! . . .whew I feel better now. There is always something refreshing about just plain admitting you are lazy!!

Now onto the recap:

Thursday Jan 15
I was planning on working today until the girls could get home from school. However I got bored at work and thought it would be brilliant of me to be home before the girls so I could have the car all loaded up and ready to go by the time they got home around 3:00. So I left work at 10:30! Never can be too prepared!

By 3:15 we were on the road and ready for the 9 hour trip to Mom's in Winter Haven. The girls are actually great travelers. Much better then than mother! In our van we don't measure trips by the actual hours its going to take to get there we measure them by the movies on the DVD player that it will take. It does get a little confusion on trips that we plan for the girls to go to sleep at some point though. I mean is it fair to tell them that because we want them to go to sleep by 9:30 that it will take 4 movies (6 hours) when it will really take more like 6 movies. If a movie is playing and they are sleeping does it still count? (if you read this blog and you have an opinion about this. . . or even if you read this blog comment - there will be a big surprise for all those that follow this blog at the end of the year. . . )

After a quick combo stop of gas and food at exit 86 in SC we convinced the girls that their first trip to into Georgia would really be no different than the previous 4 hours. They love traveling to new states. They were so disappointed that it was dark by the time we got there and they couldn't see any peaches! Of course we have lived in SC for the last 14 months and I am not sure that they have seen a Palmetto tree either. . .

Our last stop was at the FL welcome center. Nothing eventful here other than all the memories that it brought back for me. Traveling as a kid we ALWAYS stopped at the Florida welcome center. There was always something about the fact that you were now in Sunny Florida even though it was usually in the middle of the night after an all day drive from OH.

We made it the rest of the way without any real hiccups which is always a blessing when driving that far. Traffic was good, the girls were good (including the Wife), and we were able to get into Mom's under the Mapquest time (which of course is ALWAYS the goal!)

More to come later this week.. .
