Disney Dream part 2

June 22, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Back to the Dream! Ok I left off the afternoon we got on the ship. That night we had dinner at Animator’s Palate.

and the next morning we woke up pulling into Castaway Cay!

I know, I look very very sleepy. I literally jumped out of bed, threw on my swimsuit and was ready to hit the beach!

Serenity Bay. aaahhhhh

adults only…bliss!

a great day!

we lounged around that evening

and had dinner at Enchanted Garden

and for fun, of course, an “eat your salad” picture.

Our next cruise day is Nassau!

————————————————————-

Last night, Bobby and I went to the gym and did chest, tri’s, and legs, and 20 minutes on the bike. It STORMED thunder and lightning while we were there, and the power even went out. On Twitter this morning I said I was going to do a rain dance…I guess it worked! We have needed rain! Tonight I meet up with my TNT group for a run, it will be my first time getting to run with them!

QOTD: What is your favorite food to eat at the beach?

    So fun! I wish I was in Castaway Cay right now. Did you like Enchanted Garden? We missed that location b/c it was our Palo night!

    Oh how I miss Castaway Cay! You cant beat a day where you wake up, put on your swimsuit and head to the beach! (Cute suit by the way!) We loved Serenity Bay as well – so relaxing! Loving all the pictures of the Dream – looks like you all had so much fun!

        I’ve done that many times! I need another pair of black bottoms – my old ones are too big in front, and I’m worried about a wardrobe malfunction!

    That beach looks heavenly! My favorite food to eat on the beach is fresh fruit. Specifically watermelon. YUM!

    • Heather says

      June 22, 2011 at 8:59 am

      oh I love watermelon!

  4. Kimberly @ TheSweetRunner says

    Great post! I LOVE your dress! May I ask where you got it from?

    My favorite beach foods are watermelon, pineapple, and white cheddar popcorn (at separate times, not all together 😉 ). The cruise looks heavenly! One of these days I’ll tear myself away from WDW long enough to go on a cruise!

      The purple one? It’s from TJMaxx from about a year or so ago. I love it, so comfy!
      you so need to try a Disney cruise!

    That’s really awesome that they have an adults only beach. I really didn’t realize Disney had adults only type stuff, thought it was more for kids. The food looks yummy too, and I love your dress (I have a similar one in blue/green but purple is awesome too!).

    • Heather says

      June 22, 2011 at 8:57 am

      Yes, Disney knows it has that stigma so it does a GREAT job with adults only stuff. 2 adults only restaurants, adults only pool area, adults only part of the ship with lounges, bars, etc. and of course the beach on castaway cay! this is why we go, even though we don’t have kids. They do a better job of adults only than any other cruise line!

    I wish I could buy a house on Castaway Cay!!!

    Dang girl, that 6 pack abs dvd paid off! You look great! The Enchanted Garden restaurant looks really beautiful!

    • Heather says

      June 22, 2011 at 5:32 pm

      lol! thanks. I did that video religiously…and have only done it one time since the cruise!

  9. Emily says

    June 22, 2011 at 10:08 pm

    Oh wow, the beach looks amazing!! I really need to take a Disney cruise!

    Gorgeous shots! It all looks like so much fun! And girl, you are rocking that bikini! 🙂

I’ve had an interesting first few days of being I’ve had an interesting first few days of being in my 40’s. A bit of a nerve wracking medical week I guess you could say.

Since turning forty, I’ve been all about simple changes that help me feel strong, healthy, and confident — inside and out. 

Adding Organixx Collagen to my coffee each morning has been one of the easiest ways to support my skin, hair, and joints while juggling busy mom life. It blends right in and makes me feel like I’m doing something good for myself every single day. 

Because for me, it’s not just about looking good — it’s about feeling my best, staying active, and showing up for the people and moments that matter most. 
Radiance starts from within, and @organixxco helps make it part of my everyday routine.

I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like t I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like this has me reflecting—not just on what I’ve accomplished, but on who I’m becoming.

I’ve always been driven to achieve, to push, to prove. But lately, I’ve been learning to celebrate presence over performance, connection over perfection.

Today wasn’t about checking a box or hitting a goal—it was about pausing, feeling grateful, and eating a ridiculous amount of cake with people I love. And honestly? That feels like growth.

Here’s to 40: more aligned, more grounded, and still a little extra. 😉

Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 Big milestones always Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 

Big milestones always make me pause and ask:
What am I proud of?
What needs to shift?
Am I becoming the woman I want to be?

💡 As an Enneagram 3, I’ve always been wired to achieve — and for a long time, that meant shaping myself into whatever version I thought people would like best.

There are tables where it’s clear I’m not welcome — and that used to wreck me.
But at 40? I don’t do cliques. I don’t do shrinking or contorting to be accepted. 👀

I’ll always be kind. I’ll always be respectful. But I’m done dragging a chair to tables that were never built for me.

I’m moving over. Making space.
Creating my own table.
