Weekending
6/06/2016
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!

Brewing a beer for work? That sounds amazing :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun weekend! That's pretty cool getting to pop over to Disney like that, how fun! But I bet it is super crowded in the summer, and with the heat..not a good combo!! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYou guys made the most out of your Disney passes for sure - I mean you used them a ton so that's awesome! I dont think I've ever been to Animal Kingdom, but how fun that they keep it open later in the summer!! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness..seeing all of your disney posts makes me so jealous/nostalgic! I think it's awesome that you get to see the park so regularly! Even in the hot weather this summer... (I'm in Texas, so I can completely relate!).
ReplyDeleteAnd seriously - walking 7 miles is a great workout! Way to go, girl! I was at Sea World yesterday, and my feet are definitely feeling it this morning!
Your job sounds like so much fun! Beer tasting and travel -- sign me up!

I couldn't agree with you more on the love/hate relationship on the Disney blackout dates. You really don't want to be there when it's this hot and crowded, but not having the option to go whenever you want anymore kinda sucks. Enjoy the next few months at the pool and the beach instead, and it'll be bittersweet to return at the end of the summer! Cheers to a fabulous week gurlie <3

Sounds like a great weekend! I so wish I could pop over to Disney any time I wanted!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you burned extra calories just being out in the heat, too! Your job has some seriously fun perks (minus the long drives!) Hope you have a great week girl! XO
ReplyDeleteSo fun! That brewery looks awesome! I still need to drink around the world! It's been forever since I've been to Epcot!

Sounds like you have an awesome job! That's a bummer they black out your passes. Makes sense since it's going to be so crowded but still!!

I'd say your job doesn't suck :)
ReplyDeleteYou have a really cool job. I had no idea that you had blackout dates for your annual pass. That stinks but I can't even imagine how crowd it must be during the summer. Plus, it is so hot. I wouldn't be able to handle it. That is so great that Animal Kingdom closes at 11 now. I always thought they closed to early. haha Happy Monday.
ReplyDeleteI am so jelly! You guys always have the best weekends seriously! It had to be so hot but I'm glad you guys still managed to have an amazing time! And wishing you good vibes with all the yucky weather coming your way!

Wow, your job sounds awful! ;) Stay safe in the weather this week! Happy Monday, girl!
ReplyDeleteHope the tropical storm doesn't cause too much havoc for you!! Stay safe! Make today work, Rachel -CubicleCouture
ReplyDeleteHow fun to be at a brewery for work, glad you didn't get stuck in the nasty rush hour, dinner was a good choice. How cute are your ears? Love them!
ReplyDeleteYour work day looked wayyyyy better than mine Friday girl! I know I say it every time, but I love the pictures of you with the Minnie ears--too cute! Glad you had a good weekend...here's to a great week!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great weekend. You look super cute in these shorts. Stay safe. xx

Any work event at a brewery is a good one in my book! Stay dry today!
ReplyDeleteYour day at Disney looked like so much fun (as always) and I love your outfit! A relaxing Sunday is always the best way to cap off a fun weekend!
ReplyDeleteI miss our Disney passes to just head to Epcot for a day of drinking and eating around the world. My in-laws live in Bradenton so I'll have to look out for that brewery next time we visit down there. Hoping the storms aren't too terrible today because I can't deal with more flooding.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got in one last visit before your break - I can't imagine going in the summer heat down there so that's definitely a plus! The cocktails all look delicious!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a bummer about the black out dates for your Disney passes, but at least you had one last beautiful day there! Ryan and I were disappointed that we didn't get to drink around the world when we were there - it was raining, so we weren't into it - but it looks like so much fun. Stay safe in that bad weather, girl!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with he storm heading your way. Glad you got a disney visit in before the deadline, looks like a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteLooks like another great weekend and I am so oblivious to all this weather lol, we are canceling all the afternoon patients and heading home early. Stay safe girl!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you guys had a BLAST!! So jealous of your work, even though I don't like beer. Haha! Hope the storm isn't a bad one today! :) Have a great week, girlie!

so is there an option for passes that you can pay more and go in the summer? i'm just curious, because i feel like i would want that option as well (not that i am going to live in florida any time soon but i'm just curious). i loved following along while you were drinking around the world lol
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the storm blowing in! We've been dealing with lots of terrible weather here too, but we haven't had to deal with a tropical storm yet. I'm so jealous that you got to hang out at a brewery all day on Friday! It looked like you had a blast just based on your snaps! I didn't realize that the Animal Kingdom is open at night now! That would be really fun to visit!
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute in your minnie ears! Glad you had fun and hope the weather gets better!
ReplyDeleteYour weekend looks so fun! I was just in Disney back in February, but that photo makes me want to go back right now!

Beer tasting seems like it would be fun!
ReplyDeleteOnly because I dont' live near there, but disney passes! I'd enjoy it even in the summer heat. Although I'm sure if I lived there I would get tired of it.

Hope the storm isn't too bad for you guys, snuggling at home watching movies is the best during stormy days :)! Boo about the black out for the summer, but I guess I wouldn't want to be with the bulk of travelers at Disney. I had no clue that Animal Kingdom extended their hours, I haven't been there in 10 years and wish we could have gone while we were there...hopefully soon enough I'll be back :)!
