Good morning!
This post is going to be lightening fast as we are rushing off to Universal Studios this morning! :)
We arrived safe and sound to Caitlin’s yesterday! It was about a 3.5 hour drive from Fort Lauderdale to Orlando. The drive was quite boring and I dozed on and off most of the trip. The weather however continues to be glorious and hot! We drove with the top down for some of the drive.
Oh, by the way we got some car snacks from Whole Foods before we left!
Unfortunately Kashi TLC crackers are not vegan so I couldn’t have any but the 365 Wheat thins are!
We also picked up 1/4 of a bushel of tangerine’s at a rest stop! They are sooooo good here!
I was so excited when we finally pulled up! Look who greeted us:
Note: NOT my leg…bahhahaha
That would be James and Maggie and they are the cutest dogs!!!
We relaxed at Caitlin’s for a bit and then I showered and got ready to go to our meet-up. Caitlin and I hit it off immediately. I still think it is funny how you can know someone though a blog and know so much about them and when you meet them you don’t have to ask them all of those get to know you questions. I even knew what the inside of her apartment looked like before I saw it! LOL.
She is sweet as pie and has the cutest Southern Accent! :mrgreen: Her husband, Christian, is also really nice and has an English accent of his own that I quite took a liking too! He has a really good sense of humour and was always making us laugh.
We went out to The Wine Bar in downtown Orlando! The meet-up was huge- I think 20-25 people for this one.
It was very fun meeting everyone after reading their blogs for so long!
Blogger in action..
Eric and I still weren’t in a big drinking mood, so he just got a Red Stripe and me some red wine.
Everyone was so much fun, I only wished we had more time together.
My stomach was not feeling very well last night so I wasn’t going to order anything, but at the last minute I got a salad just as some filler to go with my wine.
The sweet potato chips rocked!
The boys…
Everyone makes fun of us when we say EH…and we make fun of them when they say Ya’ll. lol.
We headed next door to a sports bar for a bit…it was LOUD!!! I guess it is March Madness?? :) However, we were not in the party mood. I guess we are getting OLD!
Me water, Eric beer. :mrgreen: I was sooooo tired last night! Traveling makes me tired. Don’t I seem tired in the pics?? It was till so much fun though!
It was a fun night! We are currently rushing to leave for Universal Studios now!!
Today’s question: Have you ever been to one of the Disney parks or Universal Studios or any other park in FL?
I have been to Disney and Universal when I used to live here back in the day- I think I was only in kindergarten and grade 1 so I don’t remember much at all.
I’m going to ask Caitlin if she will make me a chocolate cherry BOMB smoothie!!! :mrgreen:
Have a wonderful start to your weekend!
Oh yay, it sounds like so much fun! It’s too cute that you and Caitlin are getting along so well, it never ceases to amaze me how compatible certain bloggers are with each other, as if it were the millionth time meeting when it’s really the first ;) have a blast!
I love that your post title is “Yall” and hers is “Eh” haha
Enjoy the weekend!!
disney is my passion! I go 2-3 times a year, just got back a week ago lol!
looks like yall had a blast!
What a blast!!! I’ve been to both Disney and Universal and liked Universal WAY more!! Have fun!
I have never been to Disney! Or Orlando! The first time I actually went to FL was a few years ago for a work conference. Its so funny how much of Europe I have seen and how much of the US I haven’t yet!
Those tortilla chips (on the salad) look yum!
In case you didn’t know, a few kinds of Kashi crackers are vegan (notably their version of triscuits).
Have a blast at Universal! I went to Disney World once, but I didn’t get a chance to go to other parks.
My grandparents used to live near Disney so we went a few times as kids and once right after my college grad. It was fun.
I went to Epcot once and it was kind of a disaster…I highly recommend you steer clear. :) Have a great time at Universal though!
I love how the boys are sitting at a separate table :) What a huge meet up–you’re so popular.
I’ve been to Disney 4 times and Unversal maybe once but I don’t remember it. I want to go to Unversal SO badly–I think I’ll have to wait to go with my own children some day :)
I know what you mean about traveling making you tired – I get the same way, especially with a lot of driving!
I’ve never been to sny of the parks, but people I know who have LOVE it and continue to go back. So, I guess it must be great!
Hope you have a great time and continue to get rested up!
So fun to meet up with fellow bloggers and have those some things in common. What a fun time.
It looks like you had a great time. Enjoy Universal. I went way back when I was in 4th grade and LOVED it. You’re going to have a blast!
Nope, I haven’t been to any of those parks … I would love to go though!
Hi, I’m a new reader from Canada (Saskatchewan actually) and I went to Universal and Disney world in florida about a month ago and had a blast! I wasn’t sure if I would be really into disney anymore, but I loved it.. It brings out the kid in everyone I guess!
Have a great time!
I told the Twittersphere that I am SO jealous of this wonderful meet up! If only I lived in Florida! Any chance you’ll ever make a visit to Chicago? :) I promise to play hostess!
Seriously though, glad you had fun and I can’t wait to see what you think of the rest of your trip. Love it!
EH!!!!!!!!!!!
(When I lived in Seattle I used to get teased all the time about the “eh”. Fine by me.)
I love “The Hulk” roller coaster at Islands of Adventure! haha :) And love your dress!! Too cute!
I’m reading your post but I can’t get over your dress!!! I love it!!! I totally thought the hairy leg was yours though haha jk
i’m loving these vacation posts! so cheerful. i have been to universal and disney world in fl a couple times. once because my dad had a business trip when i was a child and later on a family vacation.
Ah, be proud of the eh’s!
