We didn’t sleep great, but got up at 8:30, had breakfast at the hotel and Rob popped into Frugal McDoogal before we took off (a little before 10:00) We got to Congree at 11:30 and took a really nice 2.5 mile walk around the boardwalk!

We left Congree around 1:15 and headed to Three Tree Coffee at the Porch in Pooler. We got there around 3:45. We all loved our drinks!

Our hotel room was nice and we slept better than the night before, but Colin got up at 4:30 to get water and his phone alarm went off at 6:20 am (he didn’t realize she had set \240it), so we were a bit tired, going into the day we checked out of our room at 9:30 and headed to Typhoon Lagoon!

We left around noon and headed to Freddys for lunch (it was $52 WITHOUT ice cream!)

Our room was ready a little before 3:00 and we chilled in the room for a few hours before heading back out to Typhoon Lagoon. When we got in our car, we discovered that one of our tires was pretty low so Rob dropped us off and when to put air in the tire. He found a piece of metal in the tire when he went to fill it 😩 so he came back to Typhoon Lagoon and I called National to get a new car.

We left around noon and headed to Freddys for lunch (it was $52 WITHOUT ice cream!) and headed over to Port Orleans
