Disney world

Finally the trip that Britt and I have talked about for years happened!!!!! We decided to tag onto a trip I made to Ocala for continuing education. We started out day full steam at 10:30 when we met at the airport. This was after I fought with the ticket sales person that yes I want the park hopper and yes I will make it worth it!! Ugh people just don't understand how to do things 😜. 

We dropped out stuff at the hotel and then promptly hitched a bus to the parks! We started at Epcot since we got dropped off there and thanks to new technology of wait time apps we went straight to the shortest line of spaceship earth. Britt had never been to any other park than magic kingdom so I was super excited (and privileged) to show her the rest of Disney!

The first day was great full of energy! We caught all the important rides at Epcot- mission space, spaceship earth, test track, and then walked around the different lands. We found a magical drink in Italy- a frozen lemonchello margarita....so delicious that we may have come back to Epcot later just for that!! After getting our fill we headed to Hollywood studios. We rode the great move ride, the Star Wars ride, Aerosmith, and tower of terror. Britt doesn't like drop rides so was pretty scared but ended up liking it! 

For dinner we headed back to Epcot and got reservations and the French restaurant after riding the boat from Hollywood studios to Epcot which I had never done! Very fun! 

I asked Dad if he remembered this place and of course he did! This restaurant was officially the last restaurant I was allowed to order off the kids menu. I had a bad habit of ordering a kids item then thinking dads food was better and I ate gormet while he ate a hamburger and fries. I did it here too. He ordered escargots(snails) and I ate them all and he ate my hamburger. I ordered them again with Britt for nostalgias sake (and because I love them!!) 

We had been ambitious and thought we would stay out till 11 but after the fireworks we opted to go home early and sleep! What a magical and fun filled start to this long weekend ❤️

Bayern Munich soccer game

Last weekend Justin and I packed up the car with Laurie and Derrick to Charlotte for the Bayern Munich and Inter Milan soccer game. We thought that would be the highlight of the weekend but due to other fun and some other glitches it just turned out being a slight blip in the day!!

We got breakfast and then headed down to Charlotte with a reservation for an escape room at 1. We didn't plan ahead for what we wanted to do until then and had to find something to do until it started. We headed to Mathews where the escape room is and looked around their downtown. They had a ...... Board game store which kept us entertained for a while!!!!! We then headed to the escape room and had a good time. We unfortunately didn't get out- if we would have had 2 more minutes we would have gotten out!!!!

Then we went back to board game store and played more games and left with 4 games...whoops 

Then we made it back to the hotel to drop the bags and then go to the game. We got there at 4:45 for a 5pm game- first mistake. Then Laurie and I took purses- second mistake. You can't take anything other than a cell phone in if it isn't in a clear bag and then even then you have to go through bag check. So Laurie and I  RAN back to our hotel to drop our bags off and ran back. By the time we got in the stadium it was almost half time and they had already scored THREE goals!!!! They made one more minutes after we got. Half time consisted of getting back into the air condtioning and then going straight back out. The rest of the game went by so fast! We were out at 7:30 and went to dinner. We decided since we had such bad luck on our first escape room that we would try for another. Derrick booked us one at 11:15. At the time it sounded so fun.... After dinner we went back to the hotel showered and played board games- it was hard to get us out of the hotel after we were comfy and I thought we had signed ourselves for an utter disaster. Boy was I wrong!!!!

When we walked up to Codescape it was deserted and no one greeted us. But the atmosphere was really cool!!! 

When we were greeted you cold tell the guy was tired but the room made up for it so much!!

Codescape has a guy on staff that worked in universal studios and you could tell. The room was called deep space and it was the most interactive room we had been in. Laurie and I screamed  MULTIPLE times. But we got out with 20 min to spare and only one hint!!

After that we happily went to bed and got up super early to get me to the airport for my continuing education in Ocala.
