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!

Sounds like the perfect day...Disney is my fave!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun weekend, lady! Love that you were able to have an extended weekend to celebrate Kerri! Disney for a birthday party is too cute, definitely something I would do if I lived near y'all. So fun y'all wore ears, just awesome! Your brunch looks amazing! Happy Monday, lady!
ReplyDeleteSo many fun birthday festivities! I haven't been to Disney since I was a kid, sounds like a lot of fun as an adult though!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh 12 miles - that's rivaling Charleston numbers there LOL! So glad Friday was a blast, sorry to hear UCF lost again, but your brunch spread was amazing! Hope you have a great Monday love! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteYou guys definitely had me totally envying you on Friday as I was at work and you were playing in Disney! Looks like it was a great time :)
ReplyDeleteI love that you live so close to Disney! Epcot is seriously one of my favs, I mean you can walk off basically everything you eat and drink there. What a fun blogger meet up weekend!
ReplyDeleteDisney 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!
ReplyDeleteOh my family was there for the food & wine fest this weekend too! I'm so envious! I hope you counted that 12 miles as exercise! That's a lot of walking! Trish - tales from trish
ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect weekend!! And lots of blogger dates ;) I wish Disney was that close to us!
ReplyDeleteBacon and chocolate croissants? The BEST idea ever! I can't believe you got to meet Amanda! So jealous of all you Florida girls! And a weekend in Disney! Love it all!! Hope you have a great Monday! xoxo
ReplyDeleteSoarin' is still one of my favorite rides at Disney! Looks like you guys had so much fun! Happy Monday!

Our happy hour bubbles were perfect to celebrate the fabulous Kerri, and Disney looked like an even more perfect celebration for the birthday girl! Cheers to a fabulous week gurlie <3

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.
ReplyDeleteso glad i got to spend a good part of my weekend with you, love! disney was a blast but i think i'm still recovering from the walking and drinking haha. your spread looks amazing from sat! what an awesome relaxing rest of your weekend! love you bestie!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun weekend celebrating Kerri's birthday, and so fun that you got to meet up with Amanda too. So jealous of your shorts weather and getting to go to Disney for a quick trip :)

ReplyDeleteWhat a PERFECT weekend! Seriously, so much fun! And now I'm SO anxious to go to Disneyland next month! Can't wait!

ReplyDeleteliz @ sundays with sophie

ReplyDeleteYou and Amanda are making me so jealous with your Disney trips! And bratwurst in a pretzel bun sounds amazing!

Your Disney pictures always make me swoon!! I miss it so much!! The miles you walk at Disney are seriously no joke. Our last trip there we did 6 days in the park and being there open to close?! The miles are insane hahae
ReplyDeleteYou guys did it right by taking the day off to go to Disney instead of tackling the weekend crowds. I'm hopnig to go a few more times in Nov and hopefully get to try some of the new countries. Your brunch spread looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteSeems like such an amazing time! I am so jealous of your time at Disney! I want to go sooo badly haha!

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!
ReplyDeleteDisney for Kerri's birthday looks like so much fun, and I love that you got to meet Amanda, too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun birthday celebration at the parks! That is a long time to be there, so awesome! I dont blame you for staying in for the game with all the action Friday! Right now I just really want some chicken and dumplings!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine living so stinking close to Disney. Like I'd be poor, always. (;
ReplyDeletedisney!!!!!!!!!!!! you're making me so excited. 12 miles!?
ReplyDeleteso 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.
You are so lucky that you live so close to Disney! And that is so much fun that you were able to meet up with Amanda!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun way to spend your day off! LOVE this! Disney is the best! Glad you had a great time and hope you're equally enjoying the start to the week! XO

I was LOVING all of your Disney snapchats! I definitely have Disney fever - need to get back there soon!! Glad you had a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteAll 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.
ReplyDeleteSounds like such a fabulous weekend--your so lucky you live so close to Disney!! Jealous!! And you got a major work in too with the 12 miles ha!! You go girl :)
