Driving...

So, the route we chose to take was driving South down I-25 until it started to curve back west towards Albuquerque in New Mexico. At that point we hopped onto Hwy 285 heading down to Roswell. I drove the first leg of the journey, about 300 miles, into New Mexico, and then Ty took over after that. We left at 10:00 pm on Friday, and pulled into Roswell the next morning at about 9:00 am. We took a quick pit stop, and then continued on down Hwy 285 until we hit I-10 in Texas. We hopped onto that and took it straight through the whole way to Florida.

We stopped briefly in San Antonio to eat, but all the restaurants along the River Walk had over an hour long waits. We went to four different places! None of us had eaten since breakfast in Roswell, so we were getting a little rumbly in our tumblies. Subway, here we come! After some food (finally!) we forged on! We went through Houston, TX; Baton Rouge, LA; Gulf Port, MS; Mobile, AL and then finally into Florida! Once we hit Tallahassee it took us almost four hours to get to Disney. It was about six o’clock in the evening on Sunday when got there, but finally, no more driving for the next four days! So we got all checked in to out room at the All Star Movies Resort. It was so nice being able to finally take a shower! Ugh, fourty-four and a half hours in the car, driving through the deep South in the middle of summer really does a number on your sweat glands! ;-)

We went to Raglan Road, which is an Irish restaurant in Downtown Disney, for dinner that night. I got fish and chips and a pint of Guinness! Traditional Irish meal! We walked around in Downtown Disney for a little while and then decided to go back to our room and get some sleep. None of us had been horizontal and asleep in over two days, so we needed it!
