Ready to Go

September 8, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Hi everyone! I am finally back home after a crazy stressful few days away. A huge huge thanks again to those who are praying for us during this crazy time, continued prayers are greatly appreciated while things get sorted out. Sorry to be in the dark with yall about this, but for legal reasons I really just canโ€™t talk about it right now. Hopefully one day.

Yesterday while Bobby was dealing with some things most of the day, I did my part, then went for a run in my favorite neighborhood then did 20 minutes on the elliptical at the hotel. Later that night we went out to dinner, walked around my favorite shops, and got some ice cream. I need ice cream like I need another 5k race shirt. Seriously.

ย 

Bobby got Oreo cookie crรจme filling with cookie dough, and I got cheesecake with graham cracker crust. YUM! It was so nice out we were able to sit on the benches and enjoy our dessert!

ย 

We settled in early and just relaxed and watched some TV. It was nice to just unwind before coming back home this morning. After a 3 hour drive, we are back in Business in the Montgomery household.

With all that being said, I must say I am READY TO GO ON VACATION! We leave in September, and have our dogs and house being taken care of while we are gone of course. After dealing with all this โ€œstuffโ€ we totally need a break.

I thought it would be fun to tell yall about our โ€œplansโ€ for this trip! (by the way I found the post I did last year outlining our fall trip to the Grand Floridian, HA!)

Well, some things are changing this year and some arenโ€™t. Creatures of habit I tell ya! We are still staying at our beloved Grand Floridian in the main (concierge) building.

ย 

I canโ€™t wait to eat all the yummy lounge food! Get in my belly!

We will be eating at some of my favorite places as well, likeโ€ฆ.

Whispering Canyon Cafe

Liberty Tree Tavern

Narcoossees

Yachtsman Steakhouse

and Citricos, among many others.

I am sure I have said this before, but besides the Grand Floridian, our favorite thing about Disney is all the yummy food. We love getting to go to some super nice or themed places we donโ€™t get to eat at back home. Having a nice, long, relaxing meal is right up our alley! We enjoy the parks too of course, but we donโ€™t have to go non stop from morning till night and make ourselves totally cranky and exhausted.

We love lounging at the pool, and running/working out, too.

ย 

We will also be attending Mickeyโ€™s Not So Scary Halloween Party again! Boo to you parade, Hallowishes, and trick or treating in the Magic Kingdom!

Not to mention, the most exciting thing of all, is we will be sharing part of our trip with our great friends!

YAY! I. CANโ€™T. WAIT.

QOTD: What is your favorite thing to do on vacation? Is it all about the relaxing, the food, seeing somewhere new?

      You have to take him! My husband had never gone as a child either and we finally went together for college graduation. While he doesn’t love it like I do, he does love the great customer service and quality dining so he continues to go back with me. We even got married there ๐Ÿ™‚

    We’re going to the Halloween party too! I’m really looking forward to it as well as some of the food and wine festival events! I’m counting down the days til we leave and am super excited to stay at the Boardwalk this time (our DVC property is Bay Lake so we usually stay there but wanted to be closer to the food at Epcot)!

    How fun! We went last year in Oct. for MNSSHP and had a blast. I really wish we could go again this year for it, but we are trying out MVMCP instead. Which I’m still perfectly happy about. ๐Ÿ™‚ I just really love the Fall season.

This year I wanted to do something special for my coffee-loving friend โ€” something simple but still thoughtful. I grabbed a Starbucks gift card from Walgreens (they seriously have every kind you can think of, and you can even Buy Online, or Pickup In Store ๐Ÿ™Œ). 

Then I added my own touch: a cute Christmas mug, a candy cane, and a little note. Because the best gifts donโ€™t have to be complicated, they just have to show you care. ๐Ÿ’›
