These pictures are from our girls trip last weekend to Orlando. Of course mom and I were there for the half marathon, but we also went to hang out with great friends. Debbie, mom's long-time friend, Carissa, and Arin (Jeremy's wife-to-be) joined us. We had a great time, mostly eating good food, taking our time for everything, talking about marriage (Carissa and Arin are getting married within two months of each other!), and exploring Disney and parts of Orlando.
First picture taken: Debbie fell asleep on the plane ride down, and had her head hanging halfway in the aisle. I was laughing :)
We were pumped about our getaway. We left on Friday morning and didn't come back until Monday morning.
On Friday night we took a reallllyy long taxi ride to a restaurant for dinner. We were trying to find Maggiano's (to load up on carbs before the race), and when we did, there was 1.5 hour wait and so ended up at another place. It was awesome food though. Best macaroni and cheese I've ever had.
On Saturday, while we were at the race, the others went shopping at some major outlets in Orlando. They were gone all day, so after mom and I showered and took naps, we went over to Magic Kingdom for ice cream.Can you see the castle behind me? And it was cool that the Christmas decorations were still up for us to enjoy.
We met up with the others in Downtown Disney for dinner at an Italian restaurant. They didn't have time to go back to the room first, so they had ALL their shopping bags with them :) After dinner we stopped in the Ghiradelli chocolate store and had gourmet desserts. Perfect.
On Sunday we slept in, ate breakfast at the hotel, and then headed over to Hollywood Studios to play all day. There weren't a lot of rides there, so we mostly walked around looking for good food and seeing shows. Carissa took all the pictures that day, so I need to get them from her.
We ate dinner at a 50's diner. The decor reflected someone's house during that decade...very entertaining. Our waitress was pretending to be our "mom"...telling us to keep our elbows off the table and reprimanding us for not cleaning our plates, etc. It was pretty funny.
BUT, she might have taken it a little too far with Arin! She was harrassing her so much. We were all laughing, but by the end I don't think Arin thought it was funny anymore! She told Arin to get up and help her clear the table and carry the dishes to the kitchen, and Arin absolutely refused. We were cracking up.
