The weather sure does look beautiful. Glad you managed to have a couple of relaxing hours by the pool.
Argh! LOL-tentatively planning on the epic meet up/girls trip first weekend in May! Was hoping you'd overlap into May
I was looking at same weekend as you are going this year in October-but middle kid's regional band competition moved to that weekend this year
And yes-you must get back into Wisconsin. Haven't been back in many years but I'll bet the old timers in the cheese stores in central wisconsin will still call me "Bobby's kid" (my dad). My DH (then new boyfriend) was entertained that is how central Wisconsonites "knew" each other-the dairy families were "clans". Even though I didn't live there I spent many summers on the dairy farm growing up (and no idle hands on a farm-I always volunteered to get the cows after a traumatizing experience feeding the chickens-and a vow to never be near a chicken again ROFL!)
Gina- your swimsuit cover up is so pretty!
ours is still the same - I willcheck again in a couple weeks
WOW you guys are going to brave Easter crowds?! Good thing you won't be at Disney! Your weather was so nice your whole trip. I am a bit jealous because the very next week we got rain for our ENTIRE trip!

Steve made a beeline straight for the bacon…..and the ham…..and the fried chicken
We spent some time browsing in the Days of Christmas Store (I could spend an entire paycheck in there without so much as batting an eye! )…..
Fountains pool .
Those are all protein items - so they are healthy!!! Minus the fat content and breading and grease!!!!!
We went in there for the first time on our last trip. I find most holiday themed stores kind of annoying because it is just so much holiday pushed at you. But I LOVED this store. And girl, if the budget had been unlimited, there would have been some crazy shopping going on in there.
That is an adorable cover up and you should wear your hair up like that more often - super duper cute!!!
Hi so glad to be back and enjoyed catching up on your report! I was busy with the teens here and then we went to Cedar Point for 5 days a couple of weeks ago. We took Liv, Charlie and their 2 friends. It was a crazy but fun trip! I am getting excited to do Sea World this year. I am going to look over your report again closer to my trip so I can get some good advice. I will look into the all day dining. The only thing is I have 4 of us so it could be a little expensive. I loved your day at Disney Springs. We haven't been there in about 5 years. I am looking forward to going again. The floats looked amazing and that will be on my list. We love animal encounters and your pics of the penguins are so cute!!
I loved your ring!! That is something I would get too!! What a great gift
We are going to do DC with the SW and Aquatica add on. We are going to probably drive again so I need 2 days each way. I will probably plan a week at the Vistana. We want to look at places to move while we are there so there will be a day trip or two for that. I want some resort time so that will be about it. We are back and forth if we can swing moving there in June/ July but I don't think we can. If not 2020 for sure!
If I want to go in late June, or late July into early August when is the best time to book the Vistana. Is it best to go right through their site? I have only rented one time share before and I found the people on a site and booked through them directly. I appreciate all your help that you can give. I noticed so many pet lovers here I feel right at home. I love the pics of the kitties. It is so nice to be with other cat crazy people
You know EXACTLY where you stand with Miss Vi!
Liv and I just stay together with our no-boo necklaces on! ...Every year they sell these bright green neon necklaces that keep the actors away! We DO NOT like that
Who are you with? I just checked my Alamo today and there was no change. I was hoping for another $25 before the trip. oh well.@verleniahall .... check those rental car rates again, if you haven't done so in a few days. Ours went down by another $27 for October!!
Speaking of crazy cat people, you might enjoy this photo of Violet. It makes me laugh every time I see it. She was rather annoyed with me last Wednesday when I spent the morning cleaning rather than cuddling.....and boy, was her annoyance written all over her face!! You know EXACTLY where you stand with Miss Vi!
Just a garden spider, but it gave me No threat so she stays, as long as that is where she stays. And I will no longer be watering flowers barefoot.
Hi Gina thanks so much for the info on the sites for Vistana. I will start looking into it now. I am going to try and be a bit flexible to maybe save some money! I will keep you posted and contact you if I have any questions.
Yes it is so busy in the summer with the teens. I feel like I have no time for myself. I know you might not like CP that much due to a lot of coasters, but I think your DH will. We are actually going back for Columbus Day weekend Halloween event. We go every year. We drive out Thursday/Friday and check in on Friday afternoon. We stay at the Hotel Breakers, very pretty resort on the Lake, till Monday morning! They have a good Halloweekends, it is not HHN but it's cool. What I do like is it is included in the gate price. No extra cost for DH and Charlie to do the haunts. Liv and I just stay together with our no-boo necklaces on! ...Every year they sell these bright green neon necklaces that keep the actors away! We DO NOT like that
LOL!! I love the pic of Violet she really does look annoyed!!! Thanks for sharing I have a few that can make some faces with personality.
Same here- my cats, while they like to have a clean house, HATE when we clean. It disrupts their entire schedule!! of napping
I would love those BOO necklaces for HHN!! Although, they might think that it's an invitation to scare at Universal!!

I looked at the picture of you with your hair up and thought you looked so cute, and very young. I have thick heavy hair like yours and I can't take it in the heat at home, let alone Orlando. My sister and I refer to ourselves in pictures as having Florida hair.
I am bummed we won't be doing the same parks as you guys on the same days. I was hoping to run into you if possible. As of this morning, my DD and DH voted to do Discovery Cove over Kennedy Space. This moves all our days around pre and post cruise because of the early DC start time. Maybe another time, or maybe we could share a photopass again in the future.
I am just getting caught up after being off and at the county fair all last week. It was a great week, but very tiring. I also was working on sprucing up my flowers (some that were at the fair as part of our decorations) last night and found this in my ditch lillies.

Awwwww!! Look at that face!
So glad you liked Kobe! We ate there years ago and really enjoyed it. It is a ton of yummy food. My son always wants to eat at our local Japanese steakhouse on his birthday.
I'm a little disappointed that we can't work it into our October plans. But you can bet your boots we'll be dining there on our Spring trip!!!
We have a Benihana close by.....I wonder if they are similar to Kobe's?
