Sequins and Sea Breezes: Weekending

Weekending

10/26/2015


Happy Monday friends! Hope everyone had an amazing weekend! I took off on Friday to go to Disney for Kerri's birthday so while I enjoyed an extended weekend I'm still pretty exhausted this morning. We walked almost 12 miles on Friday between two parks and stayed from park open to close so it was still a long day! On that note, it's time to link up with my girl, B, for our weekend recap!


Since I was off Friday I'm going to start my weekend on Thursday night. After work I headed straight to Winter Park to meet up with Kerri, Kate and Emily for some wine flights for Kerri's birthday. It was a really nice evening out so we sat outside, chatted an people watched. I gotta tell you, people watching in Winter Park never disappoints!

Friday we got up bright and early to head down to Disney with the boys to continue Kerri's birthday celebrations! We made mimosas for the road (just me an Kerri, don't worry our driver wasn't drinking and driving!) and headed straight for Epcot. I had quite the itinerary planned for us since we decided to park hop. We were going to ride Soarin' first then run over to Magic Kingdom but 15 mins after the park opened the ride already had a 60 minute wait so we skipped it and went over to Magic Kingdom. We manage to get all of the rides I had planned with our fast passes and two extra before heading back to Epcot ahead of schedule for some food and wine!

We decided to try to hit up a bunch of the countries we missed last time, only repeating Germany because we didn't get food from Germany last time and I was dying to try the bratwurst in a pretzel bun. It was worth it. I managed to bump into a friend from college and I got to meet Amanda from Kids & Cabernet! Sadly we failed on taking a picture but we decided that wouldn't be the last time we meet up!

Saturday we were supposed to go to the UCF game for homecoming but it was a noon kickoff and after walking 12 miles the day before and not getting home until late we decided to skip it and just watch on tv. That ended up being a wise choice since UCF lost. Again. But I made a pretty awesome brunch spread so at least we got to eat yummy food while watching!

Sunday was spent relaxing, running errands and making chicken and dumplings. Nothing overly exciting but it was nice to just sit down and relax.

Hope everyone has an amazing week!

  7. Disney sounds amazing! We went last year and it was so fun. We mostly did the princess things for Emily, but we're hoping to go again once she's a little older and enjoy the other parks as well! We have to take an airplane though hehe.. Happy Monday!

  13. Your trip to Disney World seriously sounds like so much fun! I'm seriously so jealous that y'all can take off one day and just go there! Anyways, Disney definitely seems like the perfect place to celebrate a birthday, especially when you hit up the food and wine in Epcot! And I was disappointed by another Aggie loss this weekend too. Football is definitely not as fun when you're losing.

  33. How fun that you got to take a day and head to the parks, I love Soarin' but 60 mins that early is just absurd. Glad you got to hit up all the other rides and countries that you missed last time!! Holy smokes girl, 12 miles in one day...that's crazy talk! Hope you have a wonderful week ahead!

  37. disney!!!!!!!!!!!! you're making me so excited. 12 miles!?
    so KC and I were talking about this the other day... we must be the only people who aren't obsessed with Soarin, I mean, I'll ride it, but it won't ruin my day or trip if I don't. At all.

  41. All the food looks so yummy! I have those same sequined Minnie ears...but I got them like seven years ago (the last time I was there) so I really want to go back so I can wear them again! Haha. Or maybe I'll just have to wear them on Saturday and be Minnie for Halloween.
