Oh boy what a day!!! I am wiped! before I tell you about it I will tell you a little about yesterday. My parents drove over this way and we went to a graduation ceremony at Bobby’s work, and they wanted to see the campus/where he works etc. Then we went to dinner at the buffet at the Palace casino which is so yummy! It was our second time, and my parents liked it, so we have a winner! About halfway through the meal it dawned on me we were running a 5k the next morning at 8:00 am. Here we were stuffing our faces with things like fajitas, mashed potatoes, and ice cream. Oh yes, we were doomed!

This morning we ran the miserable race (recap will be up Monday!) and then we got free admission into the waterpark for running the race, which was cool, because the race entry fee was $13.00 and that included a t-shirt and waterpark admission (which is usually $29!) I love waterparks so I was excited to basically get a “free” day at the park after a hot run.

 

no this is not the entire waterpark, just part of it!

After the run they had refreshments inside the park, and we changed into our swimsuits and claimed two chairs. They did the awards ceremony then opened up all the rides.

We got in line for this really cool looking water coaster that shoots you up and then you go down crazy drops all in a double inner tube. It was a lot of fun! After that, we floated around the lazy river, twice, before deciding to get some lunch. We sat under a pavilion and ate our overpriced sandwiches, before settling in in the sun and reading our books. We were lounging right by the wavepool, and kids kept running by and slipping and wiping out on their butts. We counted, and about 9-10 kids did this in the span of an hour, right in front of us!

We occasionally got in the wave pool to cool off, too. Around 12:25 it was getting REALLY hot, and I could feel myself baking even wearing SPF 45 sunscreen. We were zonked from the race and the sun, so we decided to call it a day and go home to the puppies. (I took more pictures but somehow they got deleted…ug!!) Anyway, it was fun. The waterpark is small, so the lines for the rides were all really long and we didn’t feel like standing in them. We enjoyed it just long enough to not get sunburned or bored, which works for me. I love a good waterpark, and sadly this one was just meh, ok. I wouldn’t pay the $29 to get in for sure.

Now I am about to start packing!!!! It’s almost here!!

QOTD: Do you like waterparks?

Had the best time with @visitflorida in Nashville Had the best time with @visitflorida in Nashville recently! We spent the evening up on the rooftop at @whitelimozeennash at the @graduatehotels making @bouquetbox arrangements, and it was perfection. 💐 🍹 🌅 

I learned a lot about places in Florida I have never visited, and met some great people. Florida is the state we visit most, and while y’all know I’m a theme park girlie, there is so much more to see and we love adding on little side trips to explore each time we go! 

Here is a list of places we learned about, can’t wait to visit some of these! 🏖️ Thanks for inviting us!

I’m not suggesting you go into debt to go on vac I’m not suggesting you go into debt to go on vacation. But I am suggesting you remember that time is something you can’t get back, and memories are something that will stay with you longer than things. 🚢 

As we enter the holiday season, maybe it’s time to consider that long overdue vacation instead of quite so many things under the tree? Maybe a few less items for some time away to rest and recharge with loved ones?

@disneycruiseline is great for just that because they truly have something for everyone, from babies, kids, to adults. The cruise we just went on included beach time, pool time, an obstacle course, lots of eating, basketball, foosball, ping-pong, movie, watching, scavenger hunt finding, pirates (the nice kind!), ice cream, and so much more. ✨🫶🏻 

Always happy to answer questions about the most magical cruise line around!

🚢 A vacation should actually feel like a vacati 🚢 A vacation should actually feel like a vacation right? I hear too many people coming home from vacations with their kids that say they are exhausted and now need another vacation from their vacation. 

This is why I love @disneycruiseline. 💖

They have kids clubs included in the price of your cruise fare* that are open for a lot of the day and late into the night. This allows for adults only time at the adults only pool, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. Not to mention, the kids absolutely have a blast. Mine never wanted to leave! 🫶🏻

it’s a win-win situation in my book. They get to go have some fun with other kids, and I get to relax and recharge on my vacation, and then we can also spend quality family time together as well! ✨

Send this to someone you are trying to convince to go on a DCL cruise with you! 😏

*included in cruise fare for kids clubs, not the nursery which is an extra charge.
