    Well, after the morning you had, and if your husband is driving, I would say a nice glass of wine is due for lunch! (Followed by a second, and then a nap!)

    Yeah for making good time! What a frustrating morning you had!

    But all that is in the past, and now you are headed to see Mickey!

    Have a great trip!

    About a quarter of the way thru Tennessee.
    Stopped in lexington, KYfor late lunch about 3:30

    Still 4 hours from kennessaw by my estimates. I really hope we make it to the hotle around 9pm.

    My phone is about to die. Apparently all the other electronics in the car take president over my phone. And my dh wonders why the car battery went dead.......

    We just crossed the Georgia border. 78 miles to the hotel.

    We have all decided to just tough it out and get there. We'll think about dinner when we arrive. It'll be more like a late night snack. Well, that's what taco bell or white castle is for right?

    On another note, I]ot an email reminder for our ADR for Chef Mickeys tomorrow at 6:45. Just makes the driving so much more a MISSION.

    Just found your report! Kind of glad I didn't see it right away because I would have TOTALLY lived your frustration with you (and no one in my home would have understood what the heck was wrong with me )!

    Glad you are really on your way now and looking forward to the rest of your trip! This is so much fun keeping up with you in almost real time!

    So, we are at the garden inn hilton hotel. Dads are making a mcd's run and all girls are showered and jumping on the bed in pjs.

    I just want to get there already but, off to take pics of these little moments that I want to remember for as long as I have my wits about me.

    We pulled up at 9:57pm. It is now 10:56pm... cinderella castle time zone.

    Tomorrow we aim to leave around 7am. Arrive at the carriage house in SSR to pick up our online checkin packet and walk into our TreeHome Villa!

    Can't wait to here... WELCOME HOME!

    We are on the road... mcd's biscuts, starbucks coffees... should be good truckin' today.

    The plan was to leave by 7am. Eah, what can you do when there's a toddler in tow. But, kids are happy even though they only had about 6 hours of sleep. I'm hoping they nap but, I'm ready for some excitement in the care. It is our arrival day after all!

    Tons of cops on the road this am in ATL...

    Back to nursing my salted caramel mocha...

    Have a wonderful trip. So sorry for your delay but you were right. At least if it had to happen you were still in your own home & safe. Safe travels & hopefully that will be the only hiccup for your vacation. Keep the updates coming & have a magical vacation!

    We are in FLORIDA! We crossed the state line at 12:06. We stayed a bit, took pics and had our OJ.

    We will probably lunch in gainsville as quickly as we can. Hoping to make it to Treehouses between 3-4pm.

    In the home stretch..... the excitement is building in the car. You can measure the excitement by the volume level in which the kids are talking to each other.

    Holy smokes.... we are going. Etween 80-85 to keep up with flow of traffic. We are being pushed out of the way. Even trucks hauling stuff is going this fast. To do anything under 75 mph is suicide.

    We are gassing up at the FL Turnpike service center. 42 miles until we reach our magical place! My girls are on the lookout for purple mickey signs because that means we have arrived! It is 91 degrees!

    We're hoping for a swim befor chef mickeys for dinner!

    I'm so excited I can't even tell if I'm hitting the right keys on the phone keyboard.
