We made it!

This morning we left Georgia and got on the road at about 9. My mom (what a trooper) drove us all the way a total of 4 hours but we did stop at two rest stops. We arrived in Orlando at about 2 PM. We couldn't check into our hotel until 3 so in the meantime we went to the car wash because my car looked so disgusting from all the dry snow and salt. So we went and got gas and a car wash. The car wash was fun because it was one of those drive in and service yourself, so when we pulled in as it said to we hit the thing then it said to back up and we did...all the way out of the car wash and it still said to back up so I got out and went to ask the attendant what to do and he said "oh no it's fine just drive forward again". Eventually we did figure it out but unfortunately it didn't clean the front of my car. After that we drove back to the hotel and checked in, put all of our luggage on the cart and brought it to the room and then we found out instead of getting two queen beds we had gotten one king bed in a suite, so we called the front desk and they said we could leave our luggage in the room and get a new room, so we did. There was already a lady being waited on for the exact same problem, but he resolved both problems (after telling us the couch in the room had a pull-out sofa, yeah right like either one of us wants to sleep on that). Anyway so we settled into our correct room and went to Burger King for a late lunch. Then we checked out these two Disney outlet stores right around Orlando, both of them are located at two different Orlando Premium Outlets, if you are ever down in the Orlando area looking for reasonable priced Disney merchandise, I suggest you check them out, it's like being in the parks but you're not and the stuff is cheaper, they even trade pins there! So after going to both of those we got a late dinner. I wanted to go to Bahama Breeze but it was a 45 minute wait and it was already 8PM so we went across the parking lot to Golden Corral (definitely not worth what we paid, food was just okay). Then we managed to get back, the Orlando thru-way is brutal. Now we are gonna catch some zzz's and I will left everyone know how tomorrow goes when we arrive in Disney!!!!The pictures below include, Daytona Beach, a lizard we saw at a rest stop, some gorgeous palm trees and me surrounded by palm trees.
