Alligators, palm trees, surf and Orlando!!

After Hatteras, we continue our journey down the east coast looking forward to more sun and warmth.

We stop first in Carolina Beach at possibly the scummiest of campgounds (Walmart at least are clean and predictable).

Then off to Georgia. I just loved that state and the Savannah Wildlife Refuge and Alligator Alley was very fun!

Watching for alligators from the safety of being inside our truck.

Except when we try and see birds up close...not too far from the truck though..

We ended up seeing two! Low light though, so photo is not the best!

Then off to Tybee Beach close to Savannah for our first surf:

Henri loves that his board is longer than Gareth's!!

There is also beach art happening!

Had some good Georgia Style BBQ!!

And,,, finally,,, a palm tree!!! Yay! we are officially in the south!

Off to Orlando. First stop: flat tire on the busy highway! Yikes!!

This makes it look like the boys and I changed the tire but do not be fooled: Gareth was the hero that saved the day, keeping calm, while others (me) were freaking out. i'm surprised I agreed to this photo!!

 In Orlando we stayed at a lovely campground called Bill Frederick Park. It was beautiful and affordable but no swimming in the lake..:

Universal Studios:

This day was crazy expensive but was it worth it? I say yes it was! My favorite was Diagon Alley and the Ride down Gringotts Bank! WOw! I now know what it's like to fight against Voldemort and Bellatrix! EEk!

You get to walk down the red carpet!! 

 Diagon Alley:

 Gringott's

  Then with the help of Optimus and Bumble Bee we fought Megatron but got tossed around and smashed into buildings and boy, I screamed really loud for this one!!

Minions the Ride was fun too. ( i skipped that one)

Our second favorite was the Jimmy Fallon Ride, racing him in a sports car through NYC and up up to the moon!

Very FUN day!!!

But likely won't do it again.

Once

is 

enough.
