We Made It To Florida!!
Hey everyone! I'm currently sitting in our hotel in Marianna, Florida and its 5:36 AM to be exact. I'm up bright and early in order to leave at 7:00 AM to continue our drive to Orlando, Florida. I just wanted to give you all an update as to how last night's drive went!
My mom planned for us to drive halfway to Marianna, Florida which is about four and a half hours from where I live in Louisiana. It wasn't a bad drive at all! We only ran into traffic once in Mobile, Alabama. We left our house at 3:30 PM yesterday to go pick up my dad at work. The day before, my brother and I drove one of our cars to my grandma's house which is close to the New Orleans International Airport in order for my dad and brother to have a way to get back home from the Southshore of the Causeway to the Northshore. They're planning on getting a taxi to get to my grandma's house from the airport, or my grandma might end up going to pick them up, but we're not sure yet about that since they're flight may get in late Monday night. Anyways, so we needed to go pick me dad up at work because my mom had dropped him off that morning since we had both our other van and my car. Both cars were loaded down and we were reading for the ROAD TRIP!!
My dad and brother drove together in our van, while me and my mom took turns driving in my car. I drove the first two and a half hours, while she drove the rest of the way! It got dark around 5:30 PM, and my mom didn't really want me driving too much of the way in the dark, which I don't blame her because I don't really like it, HAHA! She packed sandwiches for both of us and for my dad and brother. Once we got to the other side of Mobile, my mom and I stopped to go to the bathroom and met up with my dad and brother for a little bit and then switched driving. We stayed last night at a Comfort Inn & Suites in Marianna, Florida which was a good halfway point for us. It's a very nice hotel! We're about to go downstairs to get breakfast, and then around 7:00 AM, we're leaving again to drive the rest of the way to Disney World! OMG! I'm so excited to be there!!!
