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.View attachment 874368View attachment 874369
The apps were all fantastic. Sorry no pics of Brin's favorite guacamole ever!
The boys both got brisket tacos with hush puppies.View attachment 874370
Den and I "split" a platter of smoked food!
View attachment 874371
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.

That BBQ loos great! Excited to follow along!

Big menu, lots of options, everything was great! Den and I split a salad and spicy shrimp appetizer. Cam had queso dip and smoked bacon mac n cheese. Hunter had a delicious tuna poke bowl. Brin had, wait for it, chicken tenders and mashed potatoes. View attachment 874854View attachment 874855View attachment 874856View attachment 874857
Again, there were plenty of leftovers but we have other plans... so no togos!

City Works is so good! My niece and I loved in on our trip last summer!

How much is Brin loving that neck fan? I brought the same one with me in July '24, and couldn't have made it through without it

Thanks so much for following and your input! Brin's fan is a hand me down fan...however I should have kept that one and given her the new one. Lol. The new one lasts approximately 1 hour....ugh. My old one lasts about 12 hours. See what happens when I am greedy!! City Works is a hidden gem! Shhh....

I will fill you all in the days events soon but we have been busy! Let me give you the next clue to our where abouts and tag Tu back in!

 

[riverside]

I knew where you were the first 2 times but due to my lovely job I’m just catching up now. I’m stumped as to where this one is. I’m thinking Raglan Road, possibly??
Also, I can’t believe how much older/mature Cam looks all of a sudden. I thought that last time I saw him but I can really see it now!!
Also, I’m very impressed with his food choices!! He seems to be expanding his horizons!!

You guessed correct. Raglan Road is where we were eating dinner. Den was definitely on a food frenzy yesterday! R can sleep! Den can eat!!
Cam is, definitely, turning into a teenager and so is his mouth... I am proud of all the kids! They are all making diverse food choices!
Hopefully, there is an end in sight at work soon but we know how that goes... thanks for checking in.
