Our Amazing Trip, Part 1: Pre-Cruise

Wednesday, April 23rd: Our flight was supposed to be a red eye that left at 11:59pm.  After hearing mutliple stories why our flight was delayed, our flight got cancelled around 1am.  The soonest we could leave was 9am, so we stayed in a hotel by the airport.  Not the way we wanted to start our vacation, and pretty ironic that we stayed in a hotel 15 miles away from home, but it happened.  The biggest bummer was that we didn't get to Orlando on Thursday till 4pm instead of 9:30am, so we lost most of Thursday (I don't like you, United Airlines!).  Once we landed and picked up our rental car, we hurried and went to Downtown Disney to get something for our girls.  Then we grabbed Publix subs for dinner and drove to West Palm to my aunts house.  Thankfully, we got to see my cousin Greg and my Uncle Rick before they left early the next morning to go out of town. 

Friday, April 25th: Jeff and I went for a run around Wellington, then went to beautiful Palm Beach

Nothing more relaxing to me than this:

 After the beach, we had lunch with a great friend at Pollo Tropical, and decided to get pedicures.  It was Jeff's first and I don't think it'll be the last!

Then we went back to my Aunt's house to clean up and have a family get together, which I have no pictures of! 

Saturday: We left at 6:30am and drove to Ron Jons in Cocoa Beach to shop.  Here's our cute little rental car that we put 1,000 miles on in 3 days! 

Then we continued on to Savannah, Georgia!  We went there to meet up with Cheryl and her family that lives in Atlanta.  None of us had ever been to Savannah so we thought it might be a fun meeting place!

 First we had lunch at Paula Deen's Restaurant.  I had an amazing Chicken Pot Pie, and Jeff had a Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich that was delicious

 Not a good picture of me but here we are standing with the Lady!  Cheryl and I have been BFF's since 7th grade and although most of that time we have lived in different states, we still manage to see each other every couple of years!

 We took a bus to check out Forsyth Park.  I do love all the Georgia trees

 Took a ferry down Savannah River

 It was cool watching these enormous cargo ships pass by us

 There was a lot of cool history to this little town.  I think these steps were built and used in the Civil War

 We stayed the night in Savannah, then headed back to Florida early the next morning to hop on our cruise ship!
