San Diego Photo Post 1

Back in July, Matt and I went to San Diego and I have yet to post about the trip but thought I’d share some photos until I can get around to writing a recap post.

Disney

Yep – I’m in Walt Disney World. We checked into Disney's Boardwalk Villas on Monday after leaving Fort Lauderdale and have been soaking up the sounds, sights and of course, tastes.

This is my first time staying at this Disney hotel but not my first time to The Boardwalk. It’s always been a great place to visit because there are several restaurants and entertainment venues. Plus, it’s absolutely gorgeous. Not to mention, we can walk to both Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Epcot from here. And given the serious food & alcohol consumption I’ve been doing, walking is good.

We aren’t doing any crazy park-hopping. Rather we are leisurely enjoying Disney without an agenda.

With that said, we are off to Epcot today. I hear there is a fantastic margarita bar in the Mexico Pavilion calling my name.

Any Disney suggestions? Places we can’t miss to eat or drink at?

Leaving Ft. Lauderdale

In about an hour we are leaving Fort Lauderdale. Though I was here for a 3-day orientation for my graduate school program, I still did get to enjoy my surroundings.

We enjoyed some delicious food.

And had our share of frozen drinks (many enjoyed poolside).

Though we’ve had a great stay in Fort Lauderdale, I’m ready for the next leg of our vacation. See you from there!

From Hot to “Hotter”

Yesterday morning I left toasty Boston for the even toastier Fort Lauderdale.

Unfortunately, I’ll be in a classroom from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm for the next 3 days. Yep – Friday, Saturday AND Sunday.

Our hotel is actually right on the beach but our room faces the intercoastal waterway so that’s what you’re seeing here.

I’m already missing this crazy face.

And I can’t wait to tell you about these.

But for now I have to go and be a student. Happy Weekend!!!
