Traveling with the Schroeders -- Vacation 2024

At the end of June, most of the Schroeders (though sadly, not all) made the journey to Florida for a stay at Walt Disney World.  Laura, Peter, and I drove down I-75 and ended up in Orlando while Faith and Nathanael flew down from their respective airports.  

We hit three parts in Disney World--Animal Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios.  Highlights included the African safari and Gorilla Falls (Animal Kingdom), eating our way around the world, particularly having Faith and Nathanael buy our anniversary pizza in "Italy" (Epcot), and the Rise of the Resistance ride, the Galaxy's Edge/Millenium Falcon ride (motion sickness for me; thankful it ended when it did), the Frozen Sing-a-long, Toy Story Land, character sightings, and Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway (Hollywood Studios).  

We also got to enjoy one day of relaxing--laundry (yeah!), enjoying poolside reading and soaking, and miniature golf.  

After Disney World, Faith and Nathanael flew back, and Laura, Peter and I began the drive back north.  Stops on the way included Atlanta and the World of Coca-Cola, and Andrew Jackson's Hermitage just outside of Nashville.  

We had hoped for a few extra nights staying with Grandpa and Grandma Schmidt in Indiana, but news of a flooded basement meant a long drive home from Nashville to tend with a minor (relative to whom you ask) disaster.
