Sequins and Sea Breezes: Weekending

Weekending

10/03/2016

Hello October

Happy first Monday of October friends! This is my favorite month... or at least it was when I lived up north. I guess it still is even though it's not quite the same living down here. This past weekend was a bit of a bittersweet one. It was the start of my favorite month and I had a blast but it was also the last weekend of my Disney passes and we decided not to renew this year. We still have a few more months on our Busch Gardens passes so I'm hoping to make a trip over there again soon and we're thinking about doing Universal passes next year so there are still plenty of good things to come! But for now, linking up with Biana for my last Disney weekend. 

Friday after work I ran up to a local boutique to do a bit of shopping. I recently discovered that they sell Lush tops at considerably cheaper prices than Nordstrom so I stocked up on a few of those before heading home for dinner and relaxing. 

Saturday I got a bright and early start to the day and headed down to Disney. We started the day with Hollywood Studios before heading over to Epcot for Food & Wine where we met up with Kerri and Ashley and her husband! It was a long, fun, wet day full of walking and laughs.


Sunday I was supposed to the new cycle studio I told you guys about two weeks ago, CycleBar, for my first actual class and then head back down to Disney for one final day but after all the walking I did last week (for anyone wondering, it was 21 miles in 4 days) my knee was not happy so I spent the day on the couch watching football and icing it. I was super sad to not be able to do much of anything but after how busy life has been it was actually nice to just relax, especially since next weekend is already booked solid!



Hope everyone has a fabulous week!

  11. Ouch sorry to hear about your knee, but glad you were able to relax and recoup for the week ahead. It's always so bittersweet when your Disney annual passes end, and as much as I miss ours I'm looking forward to Universal next as well since I haven't been back since the expansion of the Harry Potter park. Cheers to a fabulous week <3

  24. Saturday sounded like a fun day. I haven't been to Disney World since I was a kid. I could only imagine it would be difficult to want to walk around the next day. But seems worth it! http://mymonochromaticlife.com

  28. Glad y'all had a great time! I love October & fall too. I agree with you though that it's just not the same as it is up north. I still love the fall in Texas, but fall in Minnesota was 100x more...well fall. Happy Monday!

  34. We're thinking of getting Universal passes next year too! I don't blame ya for skipping out on Sunday....walking through Disney sounds like a walk in the park but it's A LOT of walking and then factor in the heat! I wouldn't be able to do it two days in a row...I feel sorry for tourists who have no choice but to pack it all into a few days. lol

  35. Adorable puppy. :) I haven't been to Epcot since I was a kid. Do they always have the Food & Wine thing or is it seasonal?

  36. I seriously had such a blast with all of y'all on Saturday, even though we did get some rain! I still think that Chris won't admit that he was wrong about the rain! I hope that your knee is feeling better today! Our feet are still hurting from all the walking we did!
