The Magical trip down to th Mouse Kingdom

Some of you might know that we took the trip of a lifetime - we drove down to Orlando, Florida for a week long vacation at the Disney World Parks... it was quite an event... and since I want you to feel the anticipation we felt going down in this 2-day road trip ... here is my own personal mapquest roadmap for you to feel the excitment as we made a photo diary of the trip down.

Here we go! 6:15am rolling down the QEW in Niagara region, watching the sun rise over the Magnotta winery. What an incredible spectable of nature for all of us to see... but espcecially for Melanie, but stay tuned, this wasn't the only sun rise we shared.

Here we are just crossed the border into Niagara Falls- what a lovely, polite and accommodating border crossing guard.

Look at the nice day in Pennsylvania... so clear and bright!

Look - a real famous city in Pennsylvania...Pittsburgh and did you know... it's really hilly and mountainess. Just thought I'd share.

West Virginia, Wild and Wonderful.



And Virginia... Open for Business- but wait when I went there in the '80's- Virginia was for Lovers. What happened?

North Carolina- no slogan- just State Line.

Here we are in South Carolina, OMG, I almost missed the sign... wait, I think that was Brent who took the picture.

Ok, maybe you can't see it... but we are in Georgia- Melanie took the photo a little too early.

Good photo Melanie, you got the sign perfectly.

Here's my close-up - Florida the Sunshine State and Brent and Melanie are there to prove to you that we actually made it...

We are almost here... 1 1/2 miles- woo hoo!

... 1/2 mile, in the rain, we are coming, watch out Disney!

Drive by picture taking... there are actually signs that say... no stopping at all  (because I guess lunatics stop in the middle of the highway to take photos)- I just decide to take fuzzy picture.

We made it! Finally, in the rain, through 22 hours of driving and a Hurricane. We are at the Disney Pop Century Resort.
