A Day Off Together

   Like I said in my last post, it is not very often that the hubs and I get to spend the day together, but we do cherish the ones that we do get. Yesterday, we both had the day off together and we filled it up with time spent together.

   We got up bright and early at 6 am to head to a 5k we were running together. It was a blast. We got to explore a little more of Orlando while heading there and we had a blast meeting new people and getting some outside exercise together. :)

Up and ready to head out to the 5K.

      Yes, I know I am red in the after picture and yes that is what the sun does to me.


    After the 5k, we went home, cleaned up, and then got ready to head to Epcot.

Eric has been wanting to take me to Flower and Garden since it opened in March so we finally had time to go together. We had a blast :) We did the normal Epcot stuff, checked out the plants, and ate at some of the food booths in the World Showcase. Among my favorite was the "Frushi" from the Hanami stand. It was strawberry and pineapple, wrapped in coconut rice, with a raspberry sauce. It was delicious. 

 

We also hit up the Smokehouse stand and I finally got some delicious bbq. Oh how I have missed BBQ. Keep in mind these are small portions meant to snack on so don't think we just ate 4 meals or anything. Anywho, there was a brisket with greens and jalapeno cornbread and then a bbq pork slider. They were both awesome. The brisket was definitely my favorite!

While at the smokehouse stand (near the America pavillion) there were some street performers from the older times. It was pretty cool to watch them perform.

All around the park, there were Disney characters made out of bushes and greenery. They were so beautiful to look at, I did snap some pictures of a few.

All in all, it was  a great day spent with my man. It could have been anywhere and I would have been fine with that, ( we love mini golf), but I am glad I got to see Flower and Garden :)

Now onto continuing cleaning and organizing and getting ready for the upcoming week. As an added bonus, I think I hear a storm rolling in. I am loving the small little pop up thunderstorms we get here in Florida. The thunder is so relaxing.

Keep it real guys!
