Drive to Disney World - Friday

 Scotland and Tatiana have both been a little sick.   They are mostly recovered, but lots of rest is a good thing.   So I let them both sleep.   I worked Friday morning.   We'd had the car mostly packed Thursday night.    We left a bit after noon.   We had a nice drive.    We finished off the We Bought A Zoo audiobook.    Then we started on the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series.    We had been waiting until she was old enough to get the humor.    My favorite part of the drive was when I was driving and Tatiana was laughing on the backseat and Scotland laughed so hard he said he hurt.    I don't think I finished the series and I barely remembered the first one, so it is all new to me.  I've picked some awesome audiobooks for our driving vacations so their expectations are high.   It was this perfect choice for this geek family.

Driving at night is so much better than during the day.    Around 10pm all the semis were in rest stops and there was hardly any traffic.   

We did the Mississippi chant as we crossed the river.   

Normally we just eat gas station food on the way, but Tatiana nicely asked for someplace with mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese.    We saw a Cracker Barrel sign so we went there.   We normally avoid chains but it is nice sometimes to be in a strange place and know what you are getting.  I guess that is why Chains exist.
