Fourth of Jully '11 Weekend Recap

This weekend was amazing! The hubby and I went off to Orlando for the weekend and we truly had a FABULOUS time. We left Friday night after work and checked in to the hotel. It was still relatively early so we went to CitiWalk, a small shopping and dining district. We walked around and had Moe's for dinner. It was a great way to end our day.
On Saturday we went to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. We have been there quite a few times because we are lucky enough to be annual passholders but this time was so different. We often go with friends and this time we went alone. We've gone alone before but this time FELT different... and it was AWESOME!
Here are some pictures from the day...

Here I am... pretending to be a big-time movie director!

Here's my handsome hubby... he makes a much better director that I do!

Jumping pictures are the BEST. I like the "Hop" background.

My hubby LOVED these cars, from the Fast & Furious Flicks.

Am I the luckiest girl in the world... or what?

We were sooooooo tired, and so full of heat exhaustion, that we decided to take a break from the outdoors and went to watch a movie. Transformers 3 to be exact. The hubby liked it... I... not so much. After the movie we went to Harry Potter's World in Islands of Adventure where we had some butterbeer and soft serve ice cream. We finished the night with a quick dinner at Panda Express and went back to our hotel.

Sunday we were so tired and over-heated from the day before that we decided to take it easy. We strolled around the city of Orlando, had lunch, visited the shopping malls and really just relaxed. We did manage to sneak in another movie, we saw "The Green Lantern" and actually liked it. At least I liked it better than Transformers.

Today, we got all decked out in our Fourth of July best and went out for an all-American lunch. We left right away with hopes to make it down to our hometown on time for fireworks. I asked the hubby if we could stop by H&M at a mall about half-way home and he nicely obliged... but when we got there we found out that they were closing in 20 minutes. I had been having trouble with my iphone for quite some time so instead of shopping at H&M we decided to go over to the Apple store to try to get it replaced. After begging and pleading we found a kind Apple dude that put us on a special list and I was able to get my phone replaced for the third time in the past few weeks (that's a post for a different day!). I'll have to ask the hubby to take me back to go shopping... they had some pretty cute dresses for less than 15 dollars! We never made it to the fireworks but we did get to hang out together and watch some true blood.

Ok so that's all I've got for the recap. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to spend time with the most important man in my life.

Happily yours,

Mrs. Pink

Weekend Recaps!

Hi Imaginary Friends and Real Ones that read this blog,

I've decided that in this blog I will document our lives. My goal is to do a weekend recap post at the end of every weekend... you see, I have a HORRIBLE memory so most of the time I remember thinking "I think we've been there, or I think we've done that" but I don't remember the details. It's a sad part of my life. I wish I was one of those people with photographic memories or at least one of those people who remember things!

So I wish I could recap all of the weekends I have missed UP TO THIS POINT. But I can't. I will start with last weekend. June 11th and 12th, 2011.

My hubby and I have decided to make it a point to do different things TOGETHER. We have always done things together but are really making it a point do have as much fun as we can. We heard that a planetarium was having a free entrance and the hubby said "well that's definitely different, its OUT OF THIS WORLD." Eventhough I was super tired from working... how could I say no to that?

So we went...

I loooooooooooooooove when kind people ask us if we want our picture taken! We are often alone and don't always get to take full-body "normal" pictures. So THANK YOU kind stranger.

This wall was made out of magazines!!! I absolutely LOVED it!!!

Talk about big wheels! My sports-car-enthusiast hubby really liked this tire. Can you imagine having a car with FOUR of these?!

This is such a HORRIBLE picture of me... but I had to post it because that booth scared the living daylights out of me (is that how that saying goes?). Hurricaine force winds up to 80 miles per hour. I don't like confined spaces, I have no idea what the heck I thought would happen... I guess I wanted to be brave. Either way I would NEVER do that again. The hubby didn't like the experience either... So I guess I'm not that weird after all!

Then we saw these beautiful critters and all my anxiety went away! I want BOTH of them as pets! Hint Hint to all of you who LOVEEEEE me. :)))))) After not being able to take any more cuteness we went home, then had dinner with our sweet friends...

Sunday was spent at Ikea looking for little fun things for our home. We found a new comforter duvet, candle holders, brackets to put our TVs on the wall and of course the delicious chocolate bars.

That was our weekend. It's funny because I just turned to the hubs and asked him if I was missing anything and he kindly reminded me that at some point we watched Super 8 (This generation's ET for sure!) and went to an old-school food truck. Neither one of us can remember when that was... I'm guessing it was friday night?

Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to remember with fuller details. I think taking pictures totally helps, so now I have my camera on me at ALL times. Beware... I LOVE to take pictures!

Fabulously Yours,
Mrs. Pink.
