Yum! The CL offerings look really good, just the thing to hold you over until dinner. And I don't blame you for taking it back to the room! I would have to!
What's this (or so we thought) business? LOL Hope it's not bad news!
Hi Wendy! I could have hosted a happy hour in the room with other CL folks!
Hmmm.... tune in to see.... not
everything goes as planned sometimes!
Uh oh......
I don't blame you for eating in your room, it was so gorgeous!! I still can't get over that upgrade! PBJ is one of my favorites, especially on toast.....
It does seem silly to have all those appetizer offerings and zero in on the kid section!
Ahhhh the smell of toasted bread with PB (and Jelly) is awesome! I know what you mean.
I would love to do concierge again. We did it once and Wilderness Lodge and it was just OK. Some of the other places look like they provide better tasting options than we had there.
I wouldn't want to leave that room either !!
Hi Susan! I agree, the CL food varies since I just saw a review of the Poly who had completely different selections including the Smuckers Uncrustables! I want some of those!
I'm the same with you when it comes to food at club lounges: Vacation + "Free" Food and Drinks = Every Hour Is Meal Time! Especially when you have your own personal sunroom!
And not that it was a competition, but I liked your plate selection better than Em's (hers looked a little olive-heavy).
Ha! Sometimes I wonder why am I sharing photos of all the food I ate to show everyone what I completed oinker I can be? But if it's free (well, technically I did pay for it) then it's hard to resist!
Em did go heavy on the olives but that's because she had to have one for every finger! (Don't tell me you've never eaten olives from your fingers? No?)
You'll have to let me know how the reservations went.
Ooh, I love Brie en Croute. I've never tried it with raspberries. I make a version with brown sugar and walnuts that's so good! Someday when I can eat fat again, I'll have to make it. Is Raglan Road new for you? I loved it when DH and I went for our anniversary a few years back.
Hi KristinAnne! Oh goodness! Your version of the brie en croute sounds delicious. I may have to try that. The raspberry version they served at CL was absolutely delicious.
Well.... I can say that before this trip we hadn't been to Raglan Road. (Other than walking by and saying hmmmm... we need to go there sometime!)
Oh wow, it must have been so cool to take your concierge lounge food back to enjoy in the sunroom
I swear I would have found it soooo hard to ever leave that room!
Hi Linda!! Hors d' hoeuvres in the sunroom was a luxurious experience to say the least.
Yeah, I think I would have taken the food back to that glorious room too, even if it wasn't busy.
Oh and look at all the SWAG in the baggie. Nice!!
My that's an ominous tease for the next update... Uh Oh.
And since this is my first post here since the big 9th place most viewed reveal, my most sincere congratulations.
I know we've talked about it elsewhere, but this is a really big deal and you are most deserving of this honor.
In Trip Reports you are second only to Jess, and well, that thread is a beast that shows no signs of slowing down.
That is just so much awesomeness I can't even stand it!
Thanks Rob!! Yes, our shampoo swag arrived in a neat little baggie. Now we could smell like grapefruit!
Such suspense......this is as intense as me having to wait for you to post your next FB update for your last trip!! Ha ha, how's it feel??
And thanks for the congrats! The top thread ranking is only because of the room, it's not me!!!
Which leads me to say.....
I completely understand people being curious and popping in to catch the updates and lurk along ... completely fine and thanks for doing so... BUT, as these good people who have joined in and subbed can attest.. I paid them all very well to leave nice comments. (You can collect your dime at the door! )
Great update!
Thanks wiiiii!! I have to stop doing that and use your proper name. Thank you Wiigirl!
The food offerings look yummy.
Happy Mother's Day, Brenda.
Kathy you are completely precious and I love your greeting!!! Thank you and I hope you enjoyed your Mother's Day!!
I am late but I am going to join in on your report.
Hi there Sarah! (Yes, I peeked at your TR and am going back to read more!! You are a fellow BLT and BC lover!! Makes complete sense based on your clever TR title!!)
THANK YOU for joining! I'm so glad to have you here.
Posting this to all my friends who are REAL Moms! (My dinner is being prepared, so I may have to stop and continue afterwards)! I am SO far behind, but I am trying to read even when not posting!
Judy, THANK YOU so very much for the SWEET Mother's Day greeting. You are so very thoughtful and it is appreciated. Hoping that your Mother's Day was blessed!! My best gift today was getting a call from my youngest son in Afghanistan.
