So here goes the TR that you all (ok.. like the 5 of you in my PTR) have been asking for! I'm not well written,witty, or good at staying on point, so I hope I can keep your attention! I will try to make this as thourough as possible, but I did not take notes while down there, I was just sooo tired at the end of each night I just couldn't handle picking up the pen. I have a bad "remembory"(as my daughter would say) so I may add things later on :thumbsup2


Ok, so the cast in case you haven't already read my awesome PTR YET(http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1913362)..(btw.. Idk how to make my link say something fancy like.. you best read this or else, hence just the boring old link ;/) is as follows Me 27.. I'm the disney addict here..although after this trip I see the magic hitting everyone just a little bit more! Then theres daddy aka DF John who turned 37 while we were down there, when I asked if we could book bounceback he said yes.. I still am in shock about this.. it is sooo not John to agree to something like that... see the magic building?? Now on to the children DD Kayla who is 7, she loves all things Hannah Montana,Jo bros,Camp Rock, Tinkerbell, and the muppets..Just to name a few. She like me loves Disney World and was just as stoked as me to go, and is currently goingthrough the same "we're back from disney" depression as me ;/ Last but not least is DS Jack who is 2 and full of more life then the disney characters on their best performance day! We were scared that he was still too young for WDW but man were we wrong, he freakin loved it and is quickly becoming my right hand disney man...woot!

So thats us.. along this journey you will also meet Sophia and her awesome family (OhioDisneyLover), Mamatater, and Carrie and Patrick(Lurkyloo). There was also some awesome texting between me and Nikki (Tat2ddisneymom), but sadly we never got to meet... but go read her Tr it is funny as alll heck and def explains why meeting was not gonna happen!


Ok.. how was that for an intro.. did I do good.. I can take it.. be honest!!

Coming up... the 20 hour drive from Pa to WDW.. the good the bad and the yummy!
 
Yay i have readers!! and old favorite (hi sophia) and a new face!! Hi.. uh..wait did you say your real name?

as soon as dinner is eaten and all cleaned up i will post the first installment.. I got ambitious tonight and made stuffed shells and chicken parm:cutie:
 

Hey! Its about time!

If you wanna know how to do the linkies, I can teach you. Its easy. You just do this. (Don't click that link...you know you want to!)

I'm going out tonight. I'll expect a killer update for me to read later, right?:goodvibes
 
So starts our journey.. the one that everyone said we were crazy to drive... in case you didn't read my PTR I do not..will not..can not..should not ever fly. I HATE it. So the only options were to drive or take the train. With DS having behavioral issues we thought it best to drive. Plus we just got a mini-van in april and what a better way to use it then to drive to florida!! This option winded up being the cheapest option with gas prices the way they are ( It cost about $425.00 round trip! a Little over 2200 miles round trip). See how easily I get off track?? So this day is Saturday September 13. John had to work this day until 4pm, which kinda blew but what can you do? To further complicate this day DD had her first soccer game and a flag foot ball game that she had to cheer at! Of course this day was hot as balls out in PA! I was sun burned before I even got to Florida.. go figure:rolleyes: Ok, so by the time we gte home from all that fun I am exhausted!! But I still have some last minute packing.. quite a bit actually.. and did i mention that dd's friend slept over the night before?? Yeah I love to complicate my life!! To further complicate things, I wanted my house super clean and all laundry done before we left.. walking into a messy house after an awesome vacation would have killed me! So like a crazy lady I cleaned the house, finished packing and entertained the kiddies. Finally daddy (which is what I call him as well most times) came home!!! Go time! He tries to rest for a minute and I look at him like he's crazy!! Finally at 6:03 pm (only 3 mins after the time we planned on leaving) we were on the road..kinda. My granmother who lives about 5 mins away from us wanted to see the kids before we left, and we had to drop off our beloved chubs and bubs ( our two goldfish). We get there and my grandmother who we refer to as gi has a cute bag filled for the kids, with coloring books,crayons, snacks,journal(for dd) and an envelope which said do not open til you get to disney world. She also had a small cooler filled with some sodas and water for us for the long ride ahead.. I thought that was very cute of her :) The kids loved it too, especially DD! They are very very close! If I had more money and Gi was in better shape I think bringing her to disney would be the bees knees! hmm.. she could always use one of those scooters.. I'll have to keep this mind! Ok, so after this Daddy decides he need s to stop at the grocery store for diet coke and some gatorade.. why he couldnt have asked me to get this stuff earlier in the week idk??? Finally after we do that it is 6:45pm. Still not bad for us, we will be late for our own funerals! So we finally get on the road... guess what?? we're hungry!!!!! We decided at this point to stop at one of our family fast food favorites CHEEBURGER CHEEBURGER!! The vacation had officially started!!

After we were all done here we got the kids in their pj's and I stopped to get coffee AT DUNKIN DONUTS , at this point it was about 8:30pm. I was on the first shift for driving.. Let's just say I do not drive well at night or when I am tired! I was soooo full from dinner ( which was a milk shake i split with John, a cheeseburger, fries and onion rings). I was not feeling great... but John had worked all day so I felt bad asking him to drive first.

We set them up with there pillows and blannkets for the road..she looks ecstatic, doesnt she?

I look really happy considering I'm about to drive for what feels like forever!

Hey, I made it over!!!!! Yippee!!!!

Great start, but I don't know how you do it driving 20 hours!!!! Kudos to you girl!!
 
You sound just like my family! (excluding me of course. I have OCD with being on time) If we are supposed to be on the road by 8 we really mean 10-10:30. I'm too impatient. I start to freak out when it comes to doing things with them.

I love all the pics. You guys are all so cute! I can't wait to hear more.
 
So glad I found your TR. I love the first chapter. What a wonderful Grandma you have. She sounds like my kind of lady! I try to never send the grandkids home without some kind of treat!

Sorry we didn't meet up but sounds like you made some awesome new friends.
