Trip Report A Whole Lotta Driving Going on!

Hello everyone. Today, Crystal and I make our way to Disney! Our journey started almost 2 weeks ago on July 3. We've been traveling the Midwest and Gulf Coast visiting family and seeing the sites and are currently staying in Tallahassee visiting Brayden at FSU. We made stops in Indianapolis, Carlinville, IL, Amana, Iowa, Madison, WI, Oxford, MS, New Orleans, LA before making it to Tallahassee. We also made brief stops in other states along the way. Getting breakfast with Brayden later this morning before driving to Disney to get Maddy after her shift at Be Our Guest. The plan is to head to Epcot for extra evening hours tonight. I'll post pictures of our journey later. I look forward to sharing as we go.

Amana doesn't look to be too far from Iowa City. I may have to check it out next time we're out that way!

You’re not far at all. Worth the trip.

Maddy is on her way back to her apartment. Crystal and I will brave the rain and head to Epcot

Our next stop was Madison, WI. We grabbed a quick lunch and walked near the capital. The building was beautiful on the outside. We toured the inside the next day.

We spent that night doing a sunset cruise on the lake

Brayden was a huge Wiggles fan growing up

We spent the next morning touring the capital building. It was easily one of the most beautiful buildings I’ve seen.

We then stopped for lunch and toured the campus before starting the long drive south

Made a quick stop here for a few snacks for the road

Good morning. Crystal and I are on the way to Magic Kingdom. Looking forward to our first ride with Tiana. We are meeting my high school track coach for lunch at Geyser Point today. We have Jaleo booked for their Dreams that Soar tasting experience tonight as well.

Madison is a fun town, even though it is my state capital we live about a 3-3.5 hour drive away so we don't go down there often. My aunt used to live in Madison and when I would go stay with her the capital building was a place we always visited along with Monona Terrace (the outside is designed by Frank Lloyd Wright), it is a beautiful area.

We had hoped to begin at Space Mountain, but after arriving we were told it would not open for early morning hours.

So, we went here instead

The brats and beer were good as well

Thanks. We are trying to get to all 50 states. We added 4 more to our list on this trip: Iowa, Wisconsin, Arkansas, and Louisiana

We made our way here next

We were able to get into the virtual que for Tiana, but unfortunately it’s been down this morning.

Although we enjoy riding Tron at night, we purchased passes to ride mid morning, so we will head there next.

FSU has such a beautiful campus and I LOVE me some Harry's! Nice photos coach!
Edit: Now that I've seen the rest of the photos, Amana is one of my favorite places! My sister lives in Cedar Rapids and it's right by the airport, so it's always a must do. As soon as I saw you were headed there, I just knew you would sniff out the Millstream!! I've spent many hours sitting outside listening to the music while everyone else shops. Loving that your first trip to Iowa included it!
