Hope everyone had a fun and relaxing weekend. Mine was a bit of both which was perfect before my trip today. I'll be unplugged from blogging and the computer for the next week or so but Kate and I's Tuesday Recipe Swap is still scheduled for tomorrow.
On Friday night, K and I went to a new location of Chuy's Tex Mex restaurant in our area which was SO good. Really great food and drinks for an affordable price plus a fun environment.
On Saturday morning, I went to the hairdresser which took almost 3 hours to get highlights, a cut and style ugh! We then headed to Epcot for the Flower and Garden festival to celebrate a friend's birthday who was visiting from Philly.
Saturday was a sunny and hot day in Florida. We walked around Epcot with a group of friends and had some drinks in China, Africa, Mexico and England. The slushy margarita from Mexico was key to cool down from the heat!
On Sunday, I went to the spa for a mani and pedi and then packed for our vacation. You would think after all these years of traveling, I would have mastered the art of packing a suitcase. There's still no method to my madness and I always end up overpacking by a lot! At least it's easier packing for a tropical destination which requires less bulky clothes and shoes and lots of bikinis.
On Sunday night, I finished up some blogging and hung out with our wrinkly girl before we leave her with the "sitters" for a week. That's become the toughest part of traveling now but she does love the place that we board her at and they take good care of her.
