Where in the US is the Creel Family?

We love vacations!!!

The absolute best vacations we've had as a family started with no plans, just backpacks and a full tank of gas. The family favorite was when we ended up at the Grand Canyon, then went to the Crater National Park, Painted Desert, Petrified Forest and more.

This year, Kate's spring break was postponed til the last week of March (usually it's on her birthday!) so we weren't sure what to do with her for her birthday. We were ready to get outta town for a break by the time spring break came, but had no time to plan so... on Friday, less than two hours before we picked up Kate from school we packed back packs, grabbed the laptop, bought a map of the continental US, ran to Sam's and bought a video camera, and as we picked up Kate from school we handed her the map and said "Where do you want to go?".


3/20 - Friday Night
We drove to Cleveland and had dinner with Mimi and Papa...with the promise of Saturday morning biscuits, gravy and sausage and some serious play time on the Wii.

3/21 - Saturday Morning:
We asked Kate again at breakfast where she wanted to go...her answer? "The Children's Mueseum of Houston!" So...with a quick detour to Grands house to say Hi, we were headed to the Mueseum.
Lunch at Pappasittos (thanks to First Assembly of God Cleveland for the gift card!):
We asked Kate "where now?"...after much hesitation she mumbled under her breath "Walt Disney World?"... and without even blinking an eye...Dad exclaimed "Alrighty then...Disney it is!" Kate was shocked! So we hopped in the Tahoe, put Orlando in the GPS and headed off.

Saturday Night - Thanks to the wonder of technology I was able to find a great hotel in Baton Rouge while driving down I-10. Verizon Wireless cards as a blessing! We even have a hotel waiting for us at Disney's Caribbean Resort near Epcot.

Sunday Morning:
Breakfast at McDonalds and a long drive ahead we are off. and it's almost time for Church Online so we will be watching from somewhere in Mississippi or Alabama while driving 70 mph down I-10. We'll keep you posted!
