Day 1. January 24th. Part 1
Ok, so Darren went into work as usual. He calls me at 9am, they let him leave since he was leaving for vacation that night.

So he brought us breakfast from McDonald's and we ate, then took a nap.
We woke up around 1 and went to my mom's to visit for awhile. Darren left to get me some books to read, and get himself some more hats. I stayed and spent some time with my nephew.
Then around 7pm, Darren's parents came over and brought us all dinner from a mexican restaurant. We ate, then went to load up the van with our luggage:
Hey, look what's in our ice chest:
I told Darren to look excited:
That's not good enough!
C'mon, you can do better. We're going to Disney World!
Me:
Then we were on our way! We left at 8:30pm. Stopped to fill up the van in Slidell, then drove, drove, drove.
Mr. Darren started to get tired around 10:30, so we stopped at a gas station for Darren to take over. While I was in the bathroom, Darren found me some barbeque Corn Nuts (My favorite!) and Mr. Pibb (Another favorite!) So we paid for that and went on our way.
At 11:41pm, we passed the Florida state line. Alot more driving to go! After about 3 hours, Mr. Darren took over driving again.
Sunrise on the way:
Is that what I think it is??
It is, it is!
We got to our hotel at about 7:30am. That's losing an hour with the time change. So it took us about 10 hours to get there. Not too bad.
Our first views of the hotel:
It felt so good to be here! We got in line for check in and didn't have to wait for a person. We requested king beds, and the two rooms close together if possible. The lady was kind of new I think, so she asked the manager, DJ. He was really nice and helpful. He said he could see what he could do.
He said, "See, I'm helpful, even though I graduated from Ohio State." (Darren was wearing his LSU hat and shirt. LSU beat Ohio State in the National Championship.)
Darren laughed and said, "Well, you must hate me then!"
And DJ said, "No, I love y'all, just not your shirt and hat." It was funny.
Coming up....Will we get the rooms we requested? And what's for breakfast??? Stay tuned!
