We made it!

We finally made it to Florida! Wahoo!! Josh loves the Florida Welcome Center and the free OJ. So, we always stop there as soon as we get to Florida. Right before we crossed the state line, Josh saw the exit for the Information Welcome Center. So, he gets off the exit and finds it weird that it's not right there-that we have to go across the freeway. When we get there this is the "Welcome Center" we find... Definitely NOT what we thought it was...haha!! Sorry about the picture. Brittany was laughing too hard to get the camera and take it.

We finally cross the state line (who would have a Florida Welcome Center in Georgia??)


Here is the real Welcome Center...much better :)

Welcome to our resort-Orange Lake

Our kitchen
Family room
Master BR
Extra BR

That is all of the pictures we have to share today. Since we have a nice kitchen, we went to Walmart when we first got here to get food for dinner this week. We have NEVER, EVER seen a Walmart soooo busy! We are pretty quick in Walmart (we like to think) but it took us 2 HOURS from leaving the resort to getting back. CRAZY!!!

More updates and pictures tomorrow! Enjoy your evening.

ps. It gets dark here at 9pm instead of our 10pm in Ohio...kinda depressing :(

Diners, Drive-ins and Dives

Tonight we went to Marietta Diner. You may know it from the Food Network show "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives". It was beyond amazing! The one word (besides amazing) that would descripe our experience would be STUFFED! They give you soooo much food! It was insane. We spent about 20 minutes or so just looking at the menu and deciding what we wanted. Before you see all of our pictures, take a look at their video from the show. click here----> Diner Video


Okay-did you watch it? Now take a look at our pictures...




They have EVERYTHING from breakfast food, sandwiches, pasta, fish, Greek, seafood...everything!

My AMAZING Greek Salad. Seriously the best salad I've ever had!
Brittany's dinner
Baked Pastichio
Layers of Macaroni with Sauteed Chopped Beef, topped with a Cream Sauce
This dinner was on the DDD episode
We are not sure why it came with rice....
Josh's Dinner
Pierogi Primavera - Pierogi pasta stuffed with potato and cheddar, roasted peppers, chicken, and mushrooms, all swimming in tons of garlic-alfredo sauce.

Josh's Baklava Cheesecake (compared to a nickel)
Ok-so when we were paying the lady at the cash registar said, "Oh, here is some cake for you". We thought what the heck, we have 2 huge desserts. So Josh took it...haha. Here is what it looks like, although it's not great. I think it's the Crazy Cake, which is a little of everything mixed together!
Brittany's amazing coconut cake!!!

compared to a nickel


So now we need to walk about 100 miles to burn off what we ate. Luckily we only had about 3 bites of our dessert. We decided they will last us all week :) We really hope to come back and try something unique again!
