Day Off!

My day off spent at the polynesian hotel!
~~I finally felt like I was in Florida~~
I Watched The Birds Fly Around And Rest On The Beach

The Beach I Had All To Myself!!!

Discovering Florida

Downtown Disney and my favorite, LEGO-LAND!! We weren't able to stay for too long as the heat index was in the three digits! The Locness was really in the water :)
The Henry Leu Gardens were inexpensive, but for a reason! Almost all the plants were dead looking, and the fruit trees were dropping fruit and rotting, such a waste! There were a few pretty flowers around.
But there were plenty of Butterflies and Geckos!

And there were a few butterfly daycares.

Last Day!!

Cumming, GA ---> Orlando, FL 480 Miles
Our last driving day, and a very long one!! Here we are sitting outside my families house!
We left very early so we were able to get to our new home around mid-afternoon.
These pictures are from the last couple days, but here everyone is watching the fireworks, and we watched baby Caiden while his parents went out for their first wedding anniversary!

Day Six!

The only driving we did today was to and from the Georgia Aquarium!
These buildings are known as the King and Queen buildings, and they can be seen from almost anywhere in Atlanta.
These are some of the flowers in front of my families house in Cumming. So many beautiful flowers! We were able to spend a lot of the day with family I haven't seen in awhile, and some I had never met. So much fun!
Here we are at the aquarium!! The first is a Beluga whale, they were so amazing to watch, they would come right up to the glass and they kept doing flips in the water! Next is a Whale Shark!! One massive animal! Third is a Sawshark!! So many mesmerizing animals at the aquarium, my favorite is the Hammerhead, and we even got to pet some!! Coolest thing ever!

Day Five!!

Murfreesboro, TN ---> Lynchburg, TN 42 Miles
Lynchburg, TN --->Cumming, GA 207 Miles

Today was going to be a short day of driving, so we decided to stop by Lynchburg TN. Why? Because that is the only place in the world were Jack Daniel's Whisky is made!
The weirdest thing is that Moore County where the distillery(pic 2) is located, has been a dry county since prohibition. They give free tours, but only my boyfriend was able to go because one of us had to stay with our dog Lexi, and turtle. So I took Lexi on a little walk around the distillery(pic 1, 3, 4). It seems the way they make the whisky is pretty neat! Jack's greatgrand niece still lives there and is in charge of tasting for quality. Because of some loophole, they are able to sell special edition bottles.
The fifth picture is simply how we felt driving through Atlanta!
