THE TRIP

We made it to Texas a MONTH ago and I still haven't posted about the great times we had on the way! The kids were amazing! The girls just played in the backseat while Brenan just sat happily between them. They only watched a few movies and the fighting was very minimal! We started in CT and then went through NY, NJ, DE, MD, Washington D.C., VA, NC, SC, GA, FL, AL, MS, LA, and then finally TX! I think we drove through some of the most beautiful states in the US. We made a few stops on the way:

We stopped at Sumer and Richard's house first. They were awesome as usual! I was pretty much exhausted and then had one of my lovely allergy attacks so my personality wasn't very winning at that point. =) We did have a great time though - we went into Washington D.C. for a few hours and it was really fun to see a few of the amazing things they have there. I really want to go back sans kids, allergies, and tiredness. =)

You can see the White house in the distance!

We stayed one night there and then took off the next night around 9 pm. We drove through the night and the kids slept the ENTIRE time. I highly recommend doing this! As we got closer and closer to Orlando it started POURING!! Oh no! The plan was to go to Disneyworld the next day! This was not the kind of rain that is still bearable with a poncho. It would have been a miserable day if it had kept up! We were SO lucky - a few sprinkles the next day - that was it! We couldn't have asked for better! We stayed at Pop Century resort - we loved Baloo and Mogli. =)


Disney World was a blast!! We spent the day at Magic Kingdom and we were in heaven. The only thing I would have changed was the stroller! We didn't have room in our car for our own so we rented one. I'll never do that again! In a real stroller the kids could have taken naps and gone a little longer. As it was we were all done around dinner time so we headed back to the hotel. It was a fabulous day!


We stayed in Baton Rouge the next night and then headed to Texas! It was great to finally show Nathan and the girls the home I had been telling them about and it's so nice to be unpacked! Plus we got our minivan! Happy day!!
