See Ya!

This little blog of mine is going to be quiet for the next nine days.
Why? Because I’m going on Vacation in Kissimmee, Florida until Sunday, October 14th!

Today at around 1PM, Travis, my brother and I are going to be shoving our suitcases and a ton of road trip food into my Mom’s tiny red Ford Focus and then heading out on the road. Yes, we are driving all the way to Florida! We are going to split the drive up into two days. So we will be heading to St. Florence, South Carolina today, and then to Kissimmee, Florida tomorrow. We’ve rented a house out down in Florida along with my parents, and my Aunt, Uncle, and their four young girls. My cousins are going to Florida to go to Disney World, of course, but Travis & I have a different plan in store for our vacation. We plan on going to Epcot and attempting to do the “drink around the world” challenge, which Ashley gave me AWESOME tips for. We are also going to be hitting up Daytona Beach, and Universal Studios: Island of Adventures so Travis can see Harry Potter world. We’ve been debating what else we’d like to do while we are down there. We’ve gone back and forth with: swamp air boat rides, helicopter tours, ATV tours, Gatorland… etc. I also have about 7 mixed drink recipes that I’d like to try while we are down there. Don’t worry, no more “vodka attacks”.

So, wish me luck on my 16 hour drive (996 miles) with two boys who are all
wired up on energy drinks & Starbucks espresso double shots.

Be back soon!

    Have an awesome time on vacation!! I’m so jealous that you’re going to Harry Potter world and that you’re “drinking around the world” in Epcot.

    I love Florida. If you’re looking for something to do, I recommend going to Weeki Wachee Springs State Park and seeing the Mermaid show.

    Have fun! Andrew and I went to Florida for our honeymoon. We had a blast and can’t wait to go back. We went to the Harry Potter park on opening day. The lines were super crazy! But the park is amazing, they did a fantastic job. The ride in Hogwarts is fantastic! You have to try butterbeer – so yummy. They sell it both regular and frozen. We didn’t get to do everything there because of all the lines but we will definitely be hitting it up again next time we go.
