We're here!

We made it! Michael got today off so we got up this morning, got the car loaded and were on our way by lunch. Julia did great in the car. She watched the iPad some and napped for about half of the ride.

We got to Orlando about 6:00 and checked into our hotel before heading to Downtown Disney for dinner. We're staying at the Double Tree at Sea World tonight and checking into Port Orleans at Disney in the morning.
Let the memories begin!
We had dinner at the Rain Forest Cafe. I was feeling pretty crummy before dinner, but by the time we finally got seated I was feeling better. I'm hoping it was a combination of being hungry, sleepy, and still kinda off from last night and that tomorrow I will feel much better!

They sat us near the elephants and monkeys and about every 20 minutes they came to life. Julia wasn't so sure about them when they started moving and making noises!

Michael had an Auburn shirt on tonight. One of the managers walked by our table and asked if we were educated. We replied yes and proceeded to draw a hang man board on a napkin. We started playing and the table next to us, Arkansas fans, joined in. He said that this was the first thing he thought when he looked at our table. My guess was free food, but he said that wasn't it! :) When we got this far (without the Auburn at the bottom) the lady at the other table and I both said "No way! We're not saying that!" He was an Alabama fan, but when he left I told the other table that he was obviously did not go to school there or he would have known that it is University of  Alabama, not Alabama University which is what he kept calling it!

 It didn't take long before Julia started getting whiplash from spotting all the Mickey's!

After dinner we got Julia some Mickey ears with her name embroidered on the back. She wasn't crazy about wearing them toninght, she preferred to hold them, so we'll see if she wears them any this week!

After we got her ears we headed back to the car, of course we parked as far away from the "ear store" as you possibly could!
 Pooh, Tigger, & "Piggie"
 Hugs for Pooh!

After her photo opp with Pooh we put Julia back in the stroller for the rest of the walk back to the car. I don't think she was in their for 10 steps before she was asleep!

We're back at the hotel now and Julia is sound asleep. I just laid all our clothes out for tomorrow and got Julia's bag ready for the day. We have a big day planned for tomorrow, I can't wait to see Julia's reaction to everything!
