Guys, I'm alive! I know, it's been a few weeks since I've been consistent around here but I'm going to try to get better. Truth be told, I've just been uninspired to write and I've been enjoying living in the moment more. Instead of sitting in front of my computer or on my phone, I've been trying to do new things, get out and enjoy life and meet new people. I'm not going to lie, I've been having a blast doing it! But for the first time in a few weeks I'm doing a good ol' fashioned weekending post so lets jump right in it, shall we?

Friday night after work I headed over to Animal Kingdom with some co-workers. We booked some Fast Passes so we got to ride some of my favorites like Expedition Everest and the Kilimanjaro Safari and we also rode a new ride (to me) Flight of Passage in the Pandora section of the park. If you haven't ridden it, You. Are. Missing. Out. It was SO amazing and I already can't wait to ride it again. Totally worth the 1.5 hour wait and trust me, other than food and 3EB there are very few things I will wait in line that long for.

Saturday I headed up to one of my favorite bbq places for lunch before running some errands. After a long day of bouncing all over the place, I hit up the pool for a bit before heading out to dinner. Goat cheese always makes for a happy end to a day.

Sunday was a friend's birthday celebrations but unfortunately we had some crappy weather so plans changed. It was supposed to be a fun beach day but some really bad storms rolled in so backup plans included this amazing French dip sandwich and a raspberry mimosa.

Happy Monday love bugs! Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! I had a nice mix of busy and relaxing so I'm feeling refreshed but still wishing it was the weekend of course. My work week this week is much slower than it was last week so that will be a nice change of pace. It's tough coming back from vacation straight into a crazy work week. Ok enough work talk, let's talk about my weekend with Biana!

Friday I was in Bradenton all day for work visiting a local brewery and brewing a beer for our company (I know, tough life, right?). The only downside is Bradenton is just over 2 hours from Orlando so by the time we were done there it was either sit in rush hour traffic home or grab dinner and head back after rush house. Of course we chose the latter of the two and relaxed a bit instead of sitting in the car for any longer than necessary.

Saturday morning I did a little at home workout before heading over to Disney for the last weekend of our passes before they black out for summer vacation. I have a love/hate relationship with losing our Disney passes for the next 2 1/2 months. It's going to be super hot and super busy so part of me is glad I can't go but then there's part of me that loves the option to go there, people watch, walk around and just be outside.



We drank around the world for the first time and had a blast then we headed over to Animal Kingdom to check out their new nighttime experiences. Up until May Animal Kingdom was only open until 6 pm but now they're open until 11 pm have a bunch of cool night experiences. We checked out The Jungle Book: Alive with Magic, and rode a few rides before heading home. And walking 7 miles in the heat is not a bad way to burn some calories either!

Sunday was spent relaxing and running errands like a typical Sunday. We hung out by the pool for a bit so I can keep my Islamorada tan going and caught up on tv shows from the week!

We have a tropical storm moving in today so it's going to be a wet one here in Florida. We're on the east side of the storm which usually means you get the worst weather so I'm hoping it isn't too bad but wish us luck! Have a wonderful week!

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! I didn't end up in bed by 7 pm on Friday but I REALLY wish I would have. I think I'm still recovering from my long week last week but at least this week should be slower so I'm pretty excited about that! Although it would be nice to still be on the weekend. Alright, I'm going to jump right into my weekend recap with Biana so I can grab another cup of coffee... ;) 

 Friday went a little later than scheduled so I headed straight home after work and made a homemade pizza, curled up on the couch and watched The Detour. Has anyone else watched it yet? It's freaking hilarious. I hope it continues to be good!

Saturday morning I headed over to the Florida Cheese Festival (yup, it's a thing, don't judge me) for some cheese and wine devouring. I will seriously eat anything covered in cheese. Ok maybe not anything, but pretty close.

After the cheese festival I headed over to Melbourne for my former roommate and close friend's twin's birthdays. It was so nice getting to catch up with her and her family and play with the twins. 

Sunday me, Kerri and the boys headed down to Disney Animal Kingdom to enjoy the gorgeous weather and get some walking and rides in. The key to walking on rides, wait until about an hour before the park closes, then you can jump on every ride with no wait! We rode Expedition Everest twice in less than 10 mins!

Hope everyone has a fantastic week!
