FINALLY!!!!

We have finally made it to the resort in Orlando after a long drive. Thanks to "steve" the gps he got us lost which set us back a couple hours and so we ended up getting a hotel room in Spanish Fort Alabama which turned out to be pretty dang cool. Thanks to steve's directions (leave it to a man to get us lost) we didn't get to drive all the way down the coast like originally planned but oh well. In Alabama we came across Herron Bay which is still pretty awesome to look at and we came across the Battleship Memorial park which had the U.S.S Alabama a HUGE battle ship and a couple of planes and stuff, coming from someone who hasnt seen a boat much bigger than a bass boat I was pretty amazed by that. After we left there we embarked on the 6 remainding hours of the trip and it was the most boring roads I think I have ever seen ( yes even more boring than Jonesboro's roads). I wont be able to update this thing as often as I would like because like to many things that if it sounds too good to be true then chances are it isnt well the resort here does not offer free wireless internet so when or if I get the chance to update it will have to be from the phone with pictures to follow sometime later. we had to pay $9.95 for 24 hour access to the wireless internet here for mom to do payroll which gives me the oppurtunity to update this and let everyone know whats going on. Sorry that there wont be as many updates as I said there would be. But I'm going to upload the pictures now and try to get them on here as soon as possible. As for the plans for the week we are supposed to go to SeaWorld tomorrow however according to the weather its supposed to rain so we will just have to see what the weather is actually gonna do before we go. If the weather is nice then we will go there and try to get over to Kennedy Space Center to watch them launch the Endeavor shuttle. Tuesday we will probably spend the day sightseeing. Wednesday we are supposed to go to Busch Gardens which is in Tampa, and after that who knows what we will end up doing. We check out of here Friday and will start making our way back home, only this time we will have a much better navigation plan or as sheila would say a better "narrogator" plan. :) Oh, I almost forgot about another adventure we took today, WALMART now if anyone knows me well you know i HATE walmart with a screaming passion and avoid it any possible chance I can, well we went to the walmart here as soon as we got here to get some snacks and what not, well this is a walmart like no other it was HUGE it looked like a mall within itself and if anyone has ever experienced black friday shopping in walmart you know how chaotic it is well try multiplying that by a double amount of people bumping right into you and walking off and glaring at you and to top it off I didnt hear anyone speak a word of english so not only did they run me over but then they are going to attempt to tell me off in at least 4 different languages from spanish, italian, indian, and carribean i guess so that was a first and last trip to that store and I said that I would not complain about another arkansas walmart being busy again. Hope everyone has a blessed day!

The night before

Tomorrow is the day, we leave for the trip and I should be getting to bed, packing, or doing something to get ready but I havent done a single thing to get ready.. talk about procrastination. We have decided to take a different route down there and go through Louisiana and follow the coast all the way down and stop somewhere halfway and get a room instead of driving all the way through. This route will add an extra 2 hours to the trip but according to some friends it will be well worth it, we shall see I suppose. I cant believe the time is finally here and i'm excited but ready to just get there too. I'm gonna miss my dogs, as lame as that sounds, but I know paula and virginia will take good care of them. I guess that is all I have for tonight will update more once we get going. Hope everyone has a blessed day!

The 4th and a birthday

Well this is a day late but just wanted to wish everyone a belated Happy 4th of July and hope everyone was safe and had fun. Our day consisted of going to the festival at the ballpark by our house and watching an amazing fireworks display(probably the best i have ever seen) and then going down to the annual family firework get together in Little Rock. Needless to say we have had our fair share of fireworks LOL. But anyways today is my 24th birthday :( where does the time go?? This time next week we should be sitting at the resort in sunny florida and boy oh boy I can not wait!! This week is going to consist of packing and getting the house organized and ready. Well I guess that is all I have to report for now so everyone have a blessed day!!

Getting Started

Ok this is just to get things started and to prepare everyone for whats to come. Me and my mother will be traveling to Orlando Florida on July 11th and will be there for a whole week. This blog is being started by request of a couple of friends who want us to share as much as possible while we are away. This trip will mean alot to me because me and mom have never really been on a mother/daughter trip by ourselves like this and I'm really looking forward to it. So as of now we are just getting things organized around the house and getting more and more anxious by the minute. Of course there will be tons of pictures taken so there is no need to worry in that department. I have never been past Mississippi on that side of the US so this will be a whole new experience for me as well which is why we have chosen to drive the 16 hr trip verses flying, which is why any prayers anyone can spare will be greatly appreciated for safety and sanity :). However I hope everyone enjoys these blogs and I will try not to make them too boring so please feel free to leave as many comments as you want. Hope you all have a blessed day!
