Travel Day 2

This morning we slept in until 7:20.  What a nice change from the day before.  We got dressed and headed downstairs for Belgian waffles and biscuits and gravy.  The Guidrys were already there and nearly done eating.  Seems their little world woke up early.  After we all got our stuff together ready to go, panic!

"Where is my Garmin?"

I thought I had lost it.  I was ticked off, to say the least.  Finally, after turning the suitcases we had brought in inside out, I found it.  It was safely nestled in the side pocket of the soon-to-be antique Olympics collapsable luggage/tote.

"Whew!"

I paid $4.27 per gallon at Chevron in Lake City, Florida.  Luckily, I was just putting in a total of five gallons.  Overall, we are getting pretty decent gas mileage...20 miles to the gallon.  For our Trailblazer, that's as good as it gets.

Amy drove the trek down I-75 and the Florida Turnpike.  I noticed that the turnpike, other than being a toll road, which I believe cost us around $4.00 to traverse, was also called the Ronald Reagan Road or something, which reminds me of the sorry state of affairs that our country is in.  

Nevertheless, we made it!  We are here at Walt Disney World!  As we passed through the archway leading into the resort/park area, we were listening to the final music of Beauty and the Beast, which Olivia was watching in the back seat.  It was kind of magical....especially watching Olivia's face.
