Come on, there is plenty of room, maybe not enough alcohol but enough room...

I'm not going to lie, I priced out flights and they were very reasonable. But it's our wedding anniversary that weekend so I doubt Jon would be too impressed! I'll just have to live vicariously!

Probably not the best weekend for a girls getaway. lol

I changed my plans for Friday (haven't had time to post it). I will be in Epcot all day. We can play it by ear. I'll be up earlier that morning and you'll be driving all day. Either option is good with me.

I kept going back and forth with Outer Rim and Sand Bar at the Contemporary. That is probably where you got that from.

It's been a full day so far for the food and wine festival. I met up with Alicemouse and her husband and friend. Hit a few booths and now I am waiting for the rum seminar to start.
