My First Week in Wonderland: Travel Days

I've been so busy since I've arrived that I haven't had the time to write my first official blog post!  I'm going to use this post and the next ones to recap the past week so hang in there with me, this is gonna be a long one.

Travel Day 1 (Saturday, May 17)

       Mom & I woke up and were out the door by 6:30. We stopped on the way for bagels and were on the road by 6:45. We arrived in Lorton, VA at 11:30, much earlier than we expected. We checked in our car with all of our belongings and then walked across the street to Quiznos. Then we stayed in the station until we boarded at around 3:45 with Zach & his mom... The train didn't end up leaving until after 6 when we were already in the dining car (if you ever take the autotrain...don't get the beef). The train ride was longgggg but much better than driving my car down the whole way.

Sunday, May 18

       We got off the train in the morning and by some stroke of luck both mine & Zach's cars came off the train at the same time and we headed to Disney World. We checked in at Saratoga Springs and laid by the pool where I had a strawberry slushy and a hot pretzel & a great nap. Then we took a trip to the Boardwalk/Beach Club to eat at Beaches & Cream. When we go there they told us that they (finally) started taking reservations and they didn't have any until 10. They had an opening at Cape May though, so we went over and were seated right away. We ate UNLIMITED crab-legs and other amazing food until we were stuffed. Then we walked around the resorts and took it all in.

       Zach & I finally took pictures with our Congratulations post-cards in front of the Boardwalk because it is our favorite place at Disney :)
