4 States In 1 Day

600 miles after leaving my mom's house, we arrived in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Traffic here stinks. It seems this I-10 is the Autobahn of Louisiana. That combined with strong winds and heavy rain made for a scary drive. Along the way we made a few stops.... In Alabama we stopped to buy official Univ of Alabama gear....Roll Tide! Also in Alabama we went thru the George Wallace tunnel that took us under the Mobile River. In Mississippi we stopped at a rest area where I thought all the toilets were dirty. Seems that the toilets were clean. It's that the water is yellow. We declined the free coffee made from that water. In Louisiana we fought traffic to make it here and we're intentially leaving later this morning to avoid the rush hour. (If Sunday afternoon traffic was that bad, I don't want to see the rush. lol) We're heading to Texas. Maybe I can talk Scott into getting a 10 gallon hat. hehe

A Stampin' Up Sale

I logged on to check my email this morning and noticed, to my delight, that I had some Stampin' Up orders. Woot! Then I noticed what people were buying.... CLEARANCE RACK stuff! So folks if you want some cheap craft products, you can find them and buy online from my website. Happy Shopping & Hopefully I'll be back with another update on my trip on Monday.

A Short Break

We made it to Orange Park after stopping in St Augustine earlier today. It was SO windy and cold. This weather has been crazy. We're only here until Sunday, so I'll be taking a break from blogging for a couple of days. Back soon...

Goodbye Boardwalk Villas

After being here since last Thursday, it's now time to move on. We had a wonderful Walt Disney World vacation. We enjoyed the attractions, shows, rides, fireworks, and all the yummy foods. I think we ate more in the past week than we did the entire month of November. lol We'll be traveling to my parent's house later today.

A Different Kind Of Day

Yesterday was not a typical tourist kind of day. We went to the movies to see Lincoln (which was very good) but mostly to get out of the rain. Then Scott spent some time learning to drive my car. He was surprised that driving a manual transmission was so tricky. I think he's getting the hang of it. He practiced pulling out for about 30 minutes and only stalled a couple of times. He'll need more open road practice later since he couldn't go past 2nd gear in the parking lot. We did eventually make it to a park and went to Hollywood Studios last night for the 2nd time this week to finish up what we missed. We didn't take photos yesterday, so I thought I'd share some from earlier in the week. These were taken in the Polynesian Hotel. I especially like the one looking thru the window.

Lions, Giraffes, And Zebras...Oh My

Yesterday we got up early and went to the Animal Kingdom. The animals were fairly active and the attraction lines short. It was a great day! Last night we went back to EPCOT 4 dinner in Germany. I love EPCOT and it's good our hotel is within walking distance since we've been going there every night. More rain and humidity in today's forcast, so we're going shopping at Downtown Disney and to the movies. Tonight we may return to EPCOT. hehe

The Rains Came

It's looking a little more like Oregon here, but much warmer. Unfortunately there was also a tornado in Orlando yesterday. Since bad weather is expected later today, we're going to the Animal Kingdom early. Yesterday we intended to spend time at the Magic Kingdom, but the crowds were heavy, so we went to EPCOT instead. This was a huge gingerbread house we saw at the Grand Floridian hotel. Yummy!
