What time of day will you be leaving? We've heard of people leaving Raleigh after work and driving to Florence, SC or Savanah, GA. Another option is to drive to St. Augustine and try to take in some of the sites. Very historical. The next day you won't have a very long drive at all to...
Hey Disney Mom of Three - can we sing, "Its a Small World After All?"
