Unlike many other travelers, we drive to Disney. It's nearly 900 miles to the Happiest place on Earth, and roughly 13 hours of driving, not taking into account stops for food, bathroom breaks, or just to stretch (or sleep). We have done this drive several times, most recently this past June when we took a family vacation to Siesta Key, Florida, to celebrate my oldest daughter's 16th birthday. Which, I should add, that I failed to blog about, but thinking that once my Disney trip blog is complete, I may just have to do so. Siesta Key is BEAUTIFUL. Okay, back to Disney... The girls attended school this blustery November Thursday, and I used this time to finish packing the little things, and start to load the car up. Also dropped the dog off at the boarders, and finished some things around the house. Since it's a long drive, we had all of the necessities packed and accessible in the car for our entertainment. Thankfully, our van is equipped with two DVD screens/players, so all of the girls could be entertained. Of course then there were the phones, ipods, tablets, etc...
When the girls got home from school, we finished loading up the van and then we were off! A few movies into the ride, and sleep got the best of them..
We arrived in the sunny state of Florida the next day, and as always, it's extremely exciting to see this sign:
Only a few more hours, and we will be in the Happiest Place on Earth!!
