Way back when...I needed to take the kids to Orlando the Friday before the race and a normal 3 hour round trip took over 6 hours!
So once I realized it was race weekend, I started second guessing my decision but, in the end, I decided to go ahead with the plans and I am so glad I did. We did not get stuck in any race traffic this time.
Of course, there is no such thing as traffic free driving in Central Florida so we did encounter a traffic tie-up through downtown Orlando due to an accident narrowing three lane traffic down to one. But thankfully, we were at the tail end of it so when we were still a couple miles from the accident scene they must have cleared the wreck and traffic resumed normal speed.
Once we got out of the heavy traffic, we drove through a McDonald's for lunch where we got our food amazingly quick (and correct!) and Ollie had his whole cheeseburger devoured before we could even make it back on to the interstate. #spoiledrottendog
Once we arrived and unpacked, we visited for a bit while Ollie situated himself directly between my mom and dad for optimum attention. #spoiledrottendog
Zack and I ventured down to the clubhouse for a couple games of pool. And by the way...this weather...yes please!!!! I will not complain.
Mom made ravioli for dinner and then we played 7 games of Sequence. Mom and I won 4 games to 3.
Today we had lunch at Manny's in Daytona Beach before driving back to Orlando.

I am so glad we live close to family again and can do things like this.
