The Trip Down- This is not a good sign

[Sinclare]

Got going bright and early, took a nice long nap (as my parents were driving). We met up with my sister and headed down the long road to Orlando. After another nice long nap we stopped at McDonalds to eat some breakfast (and let the kids stretch a little since they had one of those indoor playgrounds).

Well, I sat down and was getting my son's breakfast ready but while opening his orange juice (one of those foil pull covers on McDee's OJ), the preasure releases and suddenly my firm grip turns into a crushing grip. OJ from my neck all the way down to my dripping wet socks.... Not a good sign but hey I'm going to Florida so I shake it off. Next I go to get his pancakes ready.... Yep, you would think I would have learned my lesson about those darn pull tap covers.. syurp all the way down covering the already sticky OJ. My mother tries to get me to sit and finish until I give the ultimatium that I'm sticky and can barely move. After fetching me some fresh clothes from the firmly packed "trunk" I try my best to change in the bathroom but it's just too crowded. So with everyone passing by lay down in the back of the truck and change clothes. Problem solved, time to go.

Next stop we need gas so everyone piles out of the crowded truck and I throw my pillow (brought from home) on top so I can get out. After the gas and a little stretching we pull out onto the main highway. Just then my eye spies something fall off the back of the truck and I realize my pillow is missing... STOP! Jump out, run past hitchiker, grab pillow away from darting cars, run back... Not a good sign...

Finally made it as far as we could and got a motel, time for day 2.

All I have to say is that you must be a relative as those types of things only happen in my family.

I can already tell that this is going to be a GREAT report!!
Can you give us a little background on who's who?

Oh sorry forgot that,

Brent Aka: Dad or Uncle Brent (35 yo.)
Laid back planner and tireless walker (when in WDW) who loves the heat...some like it hot , a rider (if it's a thrill ride I'll do it, if it's not I'll still do it) and computer techie, .but most of all DAD.

Justin: My son (8 yo) aka: My Twin (I actually cloned myself with some pixi dust )
Perfect son (yea I know, everyone thinks that). Laid back easy goer who due to shorter legs tires out a bit quicker than me. A Rider in training)

Gene: My Dad (Afraid to ask)
Not really looking to have fun (perfers camping, shooting, outdoor stuff). Came b/c of the grandkids.

Ruth: My Mom (Really afraid to ask)
Born shopper (well acutally browser, she will shop every store in town to find something $.05 cheaper and spend $10 gas going between stores), never seen anyone who can keep up with her shopping. Likes strolling/looking and is terrified of the "real" rides.

Yvette: My sister (39 yo.)
Overworked Mom who likes rides almost as much as me but doesn't have as much stamina when it comes to staying in the parks all day.

Robert: Brother in Law (Don't know)
Much like my dad, not looking to have fun, came to be with the kids and didn't want to be left behind (who does ) Not really a rider and don't care that much for the park experience.

Russ: Nephew (almost 7yo.)
Nearly uncontrolable and wild, doesn't listen to anything told to do. Can be a bit annoying at times but it just wouldn't be the same without him.

Chainey: Niece (3 yo.)
Adorable little redhead who is a bit spoiled and has a temper. Likes to ride on my shoulders (boys got too old for that...or rather too big. I can still carry them but they cut off my circulation after an hour or so)

Thresa: Cousin (Not sure but I think younger than my mom by a couple years...but I wouldn't say that out loud )
First child of Mom's oldest siblings (large old fashioned family). Great to have around but like Mom is more of a shopper/stroller. Does like some rides though, did ToT with us.
