This morning while waiting for the van to warm up, I laid my head back on the cold headrest, shut my eyes, felt a shiver and was instantly transported to my dad's truck in Boston, MA. Suddenly I was 8 years old again, in the sleeper of the truck, trying desperately to warm up under the cold covers. For me, that is one of the best memories ever. I always loved traveling with my parents and it's little things like that, that I remember best. There was just something about stepping out of a warm hotel room in to the cold morning air, knowing I could run to the truck and snuggle back in for more sleep. I hope that when my girls get older, they look back on all of our travels and have just as many fond memories as I do.
This morning we are on our way to what most people call the Happiest Place On Earth. Walt Disney World! (some have argued with me that Vegas is the happiest place) This is a trip that I've (we've) been waiting almost 8 years for. I remember thinking not too long after finally getting to bring Sydney home from the hospital that one day we would be able to take our sweet little miracle baby to Disney World. Little did I (we) know at the time that we'd end up with three girls. Three princess dress wearing girls!
We're on I-20, headed east right now and there's so much fog we can only see about 100 yards in front of us. I feel like I'm coming down off a mountain in Tennessee. It's really kind of crazy. We're talking about stopping for Starbucks in Terrell...if we can see the exit before we pass it. :-)
We're hoping to make it to Tallahassee tonight. We don't want a huge drive ahead of us tomorrow and since we're old pros at these long drives, I'm hoping that it won't be a big deal! Graci told me before we left that she hoped our hotel tonight wasn't a "crappy" one. Note to self...Graci is a sponge.
That's about it for now. If anything exciting happens, I'll update. That's likely to happen since we're traveling with three of the biggest drama queens this side of the Mighty Mississippi!
