Disney Christmas Trip - Day 1

We left Hampton Roads kind of late today because we really weren't ready for the trip. The kids got out of school at the regular time, but we didn't drive out of town until about 1700. By then, the holiday traffic was unbelievable :-(. After several detours to avoid the jams on I-95 (we paralleled the highway for quite some time on US-117), we reached an area of the Interstate where we could move. Unfortunately, the rain storm hit right after that and the drive was severely slowed again. We stopped for dinner at South of the Border ("see Pedro") and then continued all the way until the trip turned into Day 2...
