Around the World

We're back! Nick and I flew home late Sunday night and were so glad that yesterday was a holiday. We were beat. I spent most of the day lounging on the couch, not a normal activity for me at all. So, I thought I'd share a couple photos from our trip...

We stayed at Port Orleans Riverside, one of our favorite resort hotels on the Disney property. I love the attention to detail, the theming is great!

We had enough time to hit all four parks on this trip, here are a few snapshots.

Cinderella's Castle is beautiful and the weather was too.

We love the Jungle Cruise.

I'm not brave enough for Splash Mountain, Nick had to ride this one alone.

EPCOT is my favorite, I love to check out all the different countries at World Showcase. We loved the updated Circle Vision film in Canada.

In the end, it was a great trip. Nick and I had a wonderful time and we barely thought about work. I can't wait to go back.

Two Spoonfuls: Travel Treats

I'm still on vacation but that doesn't mean I can't still blog about food! I haven't been in the kitchen since I left, but I have been enjoying some yummy treats while I've been away. Check it out...

At Walt Disney World, there are lots of chocolate dipped apples, strawberries, marshmallows, pretzels and probably some other things too. Don't you love the little sprinkles? Just in time for Valentine's Day!

Nick and I bought an all-inclusive package for the Disney portion of our trip. The package came with a meal plan that turned out to be a bargain. I don't think I can eat another thing! Each meal included a drink and a dessert. ugh I never get dessert, but these little chocolate cakes were easy to bring away with us & they were so yummy too!

Let's talk coffee now. The coffee at our hotel is made from liquid concentrate rather than ground. It has been my experience that coffee made this way is generally divine. I love it. I've looked forward to a cup each morning we've been here. Yesterday we discovered cappuccino floats at the Magic Kingdom. What? Ice cream on top of iced cappuccino? Yes, please! I've always been an advocate of ice cream and coffee but I never thought of a float.

I couldn't leave you without at least mentioning cupcakes. I haven't had one, but they look pretty darn good.

Wait a minute, I think Jenn mentioned something about cupcakes. Let's see what she's been up to this week.

On Holiday!

Hooray!!! Finally a vacation where we can relax. I'm closing my shops, packing my bags and heading to Disney World. I might even leave the yarn at home!!

To prepare myself for the fun of getting away, I went into the city on Thursday to do a little shopping. Here are a few things that jumped into my bag...

A monkey spatula!!! I couldn't leave this guy behind. Gotta love Williams-Sonoma.


Polka dot cupcake liners...thank you Martha!

I won't tell you how much this tiny assortment of goodies cost me. Ridiculous, but fun!

And when I got home, my Moo Mini Cards were here! Aren't they the coolest? I can't wait to add them to my packages.

Now, I must say goodbye and finish packing. Have a lovely week, see you on the flip side.
