Deja Vu? Really you may ask. Yes, today was almost a complete repeat of yesterday. Let me explain why. Got up this morning and went to the lovely breakfast bar at the Spring Hill Suites hotel we stayed at last night. The waitress was very friendly and was more than willing to wait on us hand and foot even though we wouldn't let her. The topic of conversation among the business travelers was how quickly their colleague could speak today so they could get the heck out of Charlotte before the winter storm hit. Let me tell you, I think we definitely dodged a bullet there. We got on the road around 9 am and got far enough away from the storm that we didn't have to deal with any bad weather.
The first four hours of the trip went ok. Lily was not very happy to be in her car seat for a second day. She whined a lot and screamed a lot too. We stopped in Savannah, GA at a Ruby Tuesday's for a lovely lunch. I love how they ask you if you want your iced tea sweetened or unsweetened. I told the waiter I wanted "NO Sugar because that's how we drink it where we come from". LOL! :0) Lily was very happy with our dining situation. She was happy as a clam sitting in the little highchair chowing down on some Stage 2 applesauce and cereal. Yummmy! She was just as pleasant as she could be! But, and I mean a BIG but, she was like Jekyll and Hyde once she got back into the van. She spent the last part of the trip going from laughing to screaming and then back to laughing. We just wanted to get to our destination and fast. We would have arrived earlier if we had not been held up in a HUGE traffic jam just south of Jacksonville, FL on Rt. 95. That was a bummer! Anyways, we arrived to Orlando safely but a little stressed out! Once again we grabbed a very quick dinner, got the girls in the pj's, and got them into bed. At least tonight we have a door that separates the living room area from the bedroom area so Gwynny can't try to "Hang Out" with us like she did last night and told us she was going to the same tonight until we nicely informed her differently. Well, tomorrow we meet Grandma and Grandpa K for lunch and then we will check into the condo we will be staying at for the week. Yeah! Stay tuned for more adventures...

Hi!
I came across your blog today. Your girls are adorable and I give you LOTS of credit for braving a car trip AND Disney. Yu must have the patience of a Saint :)
I have a 2 year old daughter, Cassidy, who was born with Tetralogy of Fallot w/ PA & MAPCA’s and DiGeorge Syndrome.
I think blogs are a great way to get the word about about CHD’s and some of the syndromes that cause them. I commend you for what you’re doing.
My husband and I are also on a mission to spread the word about CHD’s. We just started a jewelry company called Lucky 10. All of our products are handmade and pertain to Heart Defects and the Heart Community in general.
Please check out our site when you get a moment. If you could help us get the word out about our new business we would be very grateful. It’s a project that’s very dear to our hearts.

Thanks so much and we look forward to reading more on your blog!
Thanks,
Traci Lisa
