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.

Crystal and I returned safely this evening. The drive went well except for a 45 minute detour due to a vehicle fire that closed 81 North in VA.

States visited on this trip: Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida,, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland (obviously not in that order). We drove just over 5000 miles.

I’ll post final thoughts in the next day or so

That’s a lot of miles! But what a great trip!

Got Maddy moved into her new apartment in Columbia this week. It feels like Crystal and I live in our car

We spent a few days seeing the sights in between shopping trips

There is a nice view of downtown from her complex

Brayden leaves this Thursday, and we won’t meet up again until Thanksgiving week in Disney
