It's been almost a month since we went on our post first year of MBA school vacation, and I'm just now getting around to posting some pictures. We drove to Savannah, Georgia and spent a night there to break up the drive a bit. We checked out Lady and Sons (Paula Deen's) restaurant and the food was really buttery and good, but not so healthy. Rex was pretty good despite the fact he was the only child in the entire restaurant.
We walked along river street and enjoyed the shops
In front of our hotel in the historic district
The we hopped in the car for another 5 hour drive to Orlando
Josh's parents flew directly to Orlando and joined us for some seriously HOT and sticky days at the parks. The first two days we spent at Magic Kingdom, and it was a blast for all of us.
After spending our first two days at Magic Kingdom, we spent the morning of our third day at Animal Kingdom which was really neat, but very crowded.
Rex LOVED the jungle safari where we saw just about every animal he could think of. His tag line for the rest of the day was, "lets go see more animals!"
Side note: See that Mickey Mouse airplane on a stick he has in his hand? He found that at a gift shop at Magic Kingdom and Grandma bought it for him. He didn't put it down the entire trip (yes, he slept with it) and continues to sleep with it. It's almost replaced his comfort blanket, but not quite. And when it runs out of batteries you'd better have one on hand and ready to go, he's not very patient.
We spent one half day at Epcot where I fell in love with the Nemo ride. It was so cute, Rex loved it. Josh and I thought we'd go on MISSION: Space which spins really fast and tilts to simulate the speed and gravitational forces of being in a space shuttle. We should have heeded the warnings that said if you are prone to motion sickness, not to ride. Josh was sick for a good 3-4 hours after riding.
After the half day at Epcot we decided to go back to Magic Kingdom for the last half of the day since it was our favorite. Here's Rex "checking da map". He has control issues.
It was such a fun trip, I'm so glad we were able to fit it in! Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Garner for coming out, it would not have been the same without you there. Thanks for taking Rex and letting us do some adult rides together!

Josh you all look like you are doing well. Glad to see that
lol Emily! I love the picture when you are at the restaurant and right after I read, 'buttery' and 'unhealthy', I look at this picture and the lady behind you. Classic south :)
