On our second trip to Orlando, we drove from Naperville, Illinois. The year before we flew on United Airlines and this 12 months we flew on Southwest. This page depicts our driving journey, some things we saw alongside the best way, somes tools we used to get from Naperville to Orlando, and my regular ramblings along the way in which.

We love caves. This yr on the way in which house from Orlanda, Florida we stopped in Chattanooga, Tennessee at Ruby Falls. Ruby Falls is a waterfall that is under the mountain. The only method to get to it’s by taking an elevator 200 feet under the earth and walking about 2/5 of a mile to the water fall. In fact, this is all part of a tour that takes you there.

Metropolis, Illinois is situated on the Ohio river on Interstate 24 just north of Paducah, Kentucky. Metropolis has a casino and never too far is Fort Massac. If I had been the Metropolis chamber of commerce, I would look to have a statue of every super hero and a store for each tremendous hero. Who would not need to go to the Marvel Ladies retailer, or a retailer devoted to Aquaman, Batman and Robin, or the Green Lantern.

We’ve got had our portable DVD player for years and just like it for long journeys. If you do not have one in your car, there are lots of moveable models. We now have four children so a twin display system to permit everyone in the van to see the movie is a should. The screens hold from the back of the seats and supply an ideal distraction on the lengthy trips.

I have come to the conclusion that we’re animal folks. Being animal folks, Sea World is probably our favourite place to visit in Orlando, Florida. Between the reveals and the rides, what a great expertise. We had dinner with Shamoo one evening, which is a great dinner present without leaving the park. I believe the children liked Islands of Journey, whereas I most well-liked Universal Studios. So, I assume, I couldn’t decide one.
