First Time To Disney In July? Are We CRAZY!? YEP! !!PICS!! .. *NEW* ~PAGE 3!!!~ 8/17

[disney0704]

Okay time for days two and three of our massive roadtrip. ay yi yi. There are unfortunately no pictures for Day 2. As it wasn't very exciting. We drove all morning. boring. I think i watched about 430943 movies the entire trip. Oh yeah, I finished re reading the entire Harry POtter series to get ready for the new one [nerd] anywhoo. Then we arrived at DUKE and UNC. Yepp! Don't think we can't look at colleges! :] so we toured those all afternoon, much to my brother and sister's delight! and then drove more to a hotel. and ust slept. boring day. except we got duke apparrell at the bookstore, and the workout room in the hotel was really fun goodtimes!

Day two!

All morning we drove to South Carolina. [seeing a theme here?]

The best part of coming down south is all of a sudden these just pop up everywhere!

they're so pretttty! i love palmettos! We arrived at Charleston and walked around a little bit downtown, it was so cute!

So then of course, my dad the history buff HAD to drag us on a tour somewhere.

yeah... DONT DO IT. it was an hour ferry boat just to get to fort sumtner. and then the tour was awful... it felt kinda cool, just having taken AP history i knew what they were talking about, but it was cool for a second! This whole 4 hour excursion was awful. We did take some pictures at the fort though!

The most exciting part was that on the way back to the mainland, we saw dolphins in the water... DOLPHINS. yahh definitely don't have those in Massachusetts!

looking for dolphins

the hardest smiles we had to fake. WORST TOUR EVER

hi mom!

But then we got excited. Remember that family we ran into at the reststop, my best friend? We were eating dinner with them that night! So we met up with them!

alll of us children waiting to be seated.

hymans seafood. FANTASTIC RESTAURANT. it was so good. the hushpuppies were greatt!!

yahhh boyyy

Then after we were all a little crazy. haha we went and got ice cream, but i was too full. These really soulful and friendly and hilarious locals came up to us and made us tried boiled peanuts. We obliged, but they were disgusting! so we choked them down, but the lady was so funny! she went and guessed all our ages dead on, and then came to me and guessed i was in middle school. MIDDLE SCHOOL? yep! IM A SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL THANK YOU VERY MUCH! so of course i got made fun of the rest of the night!

candid.

why do i look like a stray dog?

and then we said our goodbyes at like 11 pm! wowza and headed to our seperate hotels for the night. we all crashed as soon as our heads hit the pillow.

Savannagh tomorrow!

Sounds like you had a good time in Charleston. It really is a beautiful city. You should see it at Christmas when all the decorations are up.

You and your sister look so much alike you could be twins!

[disney0704]

DAY 4 GEORGIA


so then we headed out of south carolina. and you guessed it. DROVE ALL MORNING. yep!! butt we all still were nice to each other, despite the fact brady just wanted to watch sponge bob and billy madison, and me and lily wanted to watch GOOD movies.

i think we watched some of the Office, and giggled the whole way to georgia...

First stop! we went to the trolley thing so we could have a tour. ;] it was fine. we got off the first stop, it was this area of little shops. so precious!
we saw some horses!

haunted house?

and then a candy shop. were we got free samples of PRALINES
yah. Definitely do NOT have pralines back in good ol massachusetts!
they were DELICIOUS. like melt in your mouth. omg. we tried to pretend to be different people so we could get more. yup my mom pulled us out of the candy store haha.

We went to Paula Deens restaurant, hoping to get some lunch. SOLD OUT.
it was 11 o clock! so then we asked how to get a dinner reservation.

You have to stand in line starting at 2 o clock! We were like, love Paula, but no thanks! we took a pic and left!

Lunch, lunch, i don't think we got lunch? we got some pralines. haha. and ate those!

we road the trolley and road down town. and sat outside and took some pictures.

excuse my like, pot belly

then ate a lunch/dinner and IZZYS. which was DELICIOUS on the water! we then went to like a marketplace thing. and got ready for the SAVANNAGH GHOST TOUR.

i guess savannagh is the most haunted place in America? slash the world? who knew! mmm.


so at 9 pm. we boarded the night haunted tour with this CRAZY LADY .

she took us around to all the haunted houses and told us all these urban legends and ghost stories. it was kinda cool. a little creepy. I love this kinda stuff though!
then she dropped us off at the most haunted house, it was featured on the Travel Channel, and the Discovery Channel. so that was cool! and we did a tour of the hosue! which was a litttle cheesy, and not scary. but interesting nonetheless!!

then we waved goodbye to Georgia and their southern hospitallilty, [seriously, everyone is SO SO nice there!!] we drove to Jacksonville, Florida to make one last stop before you know where!! I couldn't sleep that night!

AHHHH
TO BE CONTINUED...

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Sounds like you guys had a great day in Savannah. That's too bad that you didn't get to eat at Paula Dean though.

 

[disney0704]

You and your sister look so much alike you could be twins!

Ah do you think me and Lil look alike? I don't think we do at all! but so many people say that!!

Charleston was beautiful! I wish we saw more of the city and less of fort sumtner! GAH

 

[disney0704]

Driving down wasnt so bad! Driving back. now that was awful

Thanks for staying with ME!

 

[disney0704]

All last night I COULD NOT sleep --> We were coming to DISNEY TODAY! AHHH!

anyway. We got up early and started the drive. Normally, i tried to sleep through the drive in the morning. But i was so excited I was wide awake the whole time. We decided to go the more scenic route along the water =] Can I just say Florida is GORGEOUS! all the palm trees and beaches. It was BEAUTIFUL. much different than my massachusetts home!

I took lots of pictures with MY CAMERA of florida. which I'll add later [all my dad's pics are on this computer!]

So then we enter Orlando. It's like 1 o clock and we can't check in until 2. So we get lunch at Chili's And EXTEND MY PATIENCE AS FAR AS IT GOES.

"Dad can't we just drive around disney world puhhleasee"
"No, why we can't check in til 3"
"I know can't w just drive arounddddd... puh--leaseee"
"NO"
"puhleasse"
"NO"

we are expert whiners. Finally it was like 2:30 and then he sighed and was like, let's go i guess! We all screamed.

I don't really remember driving in Disney. I was in SHOCK and overcome with happiness. I took a picture of the sign [i'll add later]

The way theyset it up is so good. It's like it's own little world. All the roads. IT'S WAYY BIGGER THAN I THOUGHT. our naivgation system [Cheryl} led us right to the hotel.

PORT ORLEANS.
of course i jumped out of the car with my dad to register. The lobby was so nice! I loved their costumes. luckily the line was short. They were so friendly. It was amazing how I think they knew it was my first time.

"You all look so happy" the guy =]
"well, these kids have never been" my dad

then we got buttonns! That said FIRST VISIT! haha you'll see them! Then my dad was like HEY ITS MY BIRTHDAY! and then he got a birthday button!!! =] way to be discreet dad. I told him about the birthday button :] haha

Then we sprinted to our car and drove to ALLIGATOR BAYOU. and our room! It was small and cute. Sorry no pictures so far! I was in shock!. OH YEAH

so the guy at the desk told us that for 4 dollars more, we could ugrade our park hoppers to another day. and that MK was open until 2 that night, and for 20 extra dollars we could all go! Ohf course i was lke YES OMZG PLEASE!! but my dad was like
"we'll see Haley"

So my brother didn't want to go to the park, wanted to SWIM [typical] so we put on our bathing suits and went to check out the main pool. It was awesome! It was huge, had a water slide, a waterfall...

wow dad you are SUCH a STUD. nottt...

bradddyy did NOT want to leave, which was SO annoying because all i wanted to do was go to the park!!!

Okay scenario, my brother as crabby and annoying and DID not want to go to Magic Kingdom, [I know, crazy} All he wanted to do was swim in the pool. And then So i was like Welll -- just me and dad and lily can go, and then he'd be like NO NO NO YOU CANT GO WITHOUT ME. aka. SOOOO ANNOYING. I was annoyed.

I just begged my dad to just take me and my sister. And he was like Brady's just really tired, he just wants to sleep, he doesn't want to miss out....

ahhhhh!

WILL I GET TO GO TO MAGIC KINGDOM?
WILL MY BROTHER WANT TO GO?
IS MY VACATION ALREADY RUINED?

FIND OUT IN PART 2!
