Michelle and I were watching the Food Network show Unwrapped. The entire show was about Disney World food. This got me thinking about our Disney World trip back in 2008. It was our first family road trip. What an experience and we can’t wait to do it again. We are hoping to take the family back next year. Until then here are some more photos from 2008.
On day 2 of the road trip we finished up a 26 hour drive from Houston to Orlando. Normally what would be a 19 hour drive took us a little longer be cause we made many stops along the way for food, gasoline, rest, and of course potty breaks. We did discover two very interesting facts about road trips. One, contrary to all the advice we received..NO, we did not ‘need’ a DVD player to keep the kids occupied and stimulated. It’s amazing that simple family conversation still works. Two, pancakes are a sedative! On two occasions we ate at The Cracker Barrel for breakfast. Both times the twins ate a pancake each and 30 minutes later after getting back on the road they were both asleep for the next 4-5 hours.
I clearly remember the moment when Sadee and Joshua saw the Disney World entrance sign they both let out a huge scream of excitement. To tell you the truth, I did too.
