Trip Report And When it's Time to Find Home. We know the Way!! Aue Aue

Good Morning all my Disney loving friends! We just hit the road and our first destination is Charlotte, NC. However, before I get ahead of myself, it is our normal crew, myself, Deighton (I turn the big 5 0 this year), Den my husband and our 3 kids. Hunter who is 20 and is now bartending... Camden 13 still an avid lacrosse player and fisherman and the youngest Brinley, 9 for now but on August 10 she will turn 10 in Disney World.

Here is a brief schedule of the next 2 weeks. As I stated earlier we will arriving in Charlotte, NC around 4 pm today. We have reservations at a southern BBQ restaurant (let the feeding frenzy begin). Tomorrow, we leave early to get to Savannah Georgia as soon as possible. We have a lot that we want to do here but the weather is not showing that it is going to cooperate. Hopefully the weather man is as wrong in Savannah as they are in
Pittsburgh!

After a night in Savannah, we are headed to Disney Springs for 2 days. We have reservations in Disney Springs and this is when we will do some resort hopping. Then it is home to The Boardwalk for 9 nights with a seven day hopper. Then back to Charlotte to meet up with my brother and his family. Then sadly home and back to the grind! I will post more details shortly!

Thanks for following and thanks to all of you who take the time to do Trip Reports! You have no idea how much it keeps me going💞

Well, after a long drive to Charlotte we got in around 5pm. The drive was quite eventful! We had fog, pouring rain, flooded streets, and more accidents than I can count along the way. After checking into our hotel and dropping off luggage, we headed out to eat at Midwood BBQ.

We started with queso and chips, guacamole and smoked wings.

The apps were all fantastic. Sorry no pics of Brin's favorite guacamole ever!
The boys both got brisket tacos with hush puppies.

Den and I "split" a platter of smoked food!

I had one bite of everything and Den had a few bites or more of everything. Sadly, staying at a hotel we couldn't bring leftovers. For anyone who is passing by the area, I would definitely recommend trying this place out!!

Now we are just laughing in the hotel watching the kids play with their oculus. Early to bed, we are up early to hopefully tour around Savannah.

I’ll keep an eye out for you on Thursday and Friday … looks like we will be in same location.

Enjoy Savannah - we stopped there on our way down a few years ago and we really loved it.

This year we have stopped in St Augustine and despite the heat, we have had a great visit. Many of the museums we visited yesterday had roll playing tour guides which added to the fun. We will also hit up Kennedy Space Center and the beach for a few days before heading to WDW mid week.

Good Morning!! Well in true to our form style, we have had a major change in plans. However, first back to last night... when we got back from dinner the front desk man, named Jose, was great! He let the kids swim because it poured as soon as we got there.

This lasted about half an hour before the wind started whipping around again and drove them out. We relaxed after that in the room and watched 50 First Dates. I feel asleep to Only Murders in the building episode 4 around 10 pm.

I woke up at 530 and pulled up Savannah 's forecast, rain all day and red cells for a lot of our time there. Our goals were to enjoy the Riverwalk, do a cemetery tour (the later the better), trolley tour and go to where Forrest Gump was filmed. Well, these items go back on the bucket list because, we canceled our reservation and we are driving straight to Disney Springs. Arrival, hopefully, by 5. 730 pm dinner reservations at Wine Bar George.
It is already raining a light drizzle on I77. Here is to hoping it is an easier drive than yesterday!
