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.

We've driven or flown to them all so far. Hope to finish the lower 48 soon, then we will add Hawaii and Alaska. We'd love to add Puerto Rico as well.

We definitely needed the afternoon relaxation after the constant travel over the past 2 weeks. On our way to Disney Springs now

Getting a drink at House of Blues before Jaleo

City Beautiful IPA for me, and a Hurricane for Crystal.

Ironically, she did not get a Hurricane while we were in New Orleans.

We needed Brayden to help us finish it, but he doesn’t arrive until Monday

Made our way to the table

Our menu

And our seat

Our food so far. They have been more than accommodating for Crystal and her celiac diet. Our server said not to worry that he’d have surprises for her.

Our current view

As we were eating, Crystal was able to catch up with someone who we both taught with over 25 years ago. She now lives in Texas. They stay in touch, but it was so good to see them laughing and hugging each other

From dinner, to the show, to the service, Jaleo was excellent.
