Today was the day we arrived in Orlando! We woke up in Macon, Georgia and had breakfast at a nearby Waffle House. It was my first time eating at a Waffle House so of course I had a waffle-it was delicious! After breakfast we headed straight to Orlando. We were in the car for about 5 hours until we arrived. It felt really strange driving to Orlando as we always fly down, but I saw more of the city (and tolls) than I ever have before. We were supposed to meet family friends around 4pm but had an hour to spare so we decided to go take a look at where I was going to be living. The property is gated so we couldn’t get in, but even from the outside the buildings look beautiful and are tucked away on a rather quiet street. After filling up on gas (yay Focus for making it 5 hours without stopping!), we went to our family friends house in downtown Orlando. After spending some time with them at their home, they took us to a fancy restaurant called Hillstone. I think it was the nicest restaurant I have ever been to. It even had valet parking. I ordered the Hawaiian Ribeye for dinner which was a grilled steak with a pineapple and soy sauce on it and I think it is one of the best meals I have ever had. I wanted to take a picture of it so badly but didn’t want to be “that person”. After dinner, we briefly toured Rollins College which has a stunning campus, and went back to the house to re-pack my car so I could see through my back window (haha). It was a long day but I am happy we finally made it! Tomorrow will be a busy day for me, so I decided to get to bed early. I also heard a tropical storm is on the way which I figure sounds nicer than just a regular storm. 🙂 More exciting Disney news to follow-almost there!
