Aww, I love your little towel toothbrush holder, and the cuddly animal arrangement, but I'm not so sure I'd have figured out the heart either....
Your boys look like thye had fun in the pool and that carrot cake looks super yummy!!!
I love the towel animals you got even if it took a while to work out it was a heart
The make your own pasta at POR is fantastic isn't it, I loved it, DD's favourite was the salad though and she had it so many times!
The old fashioned loos are great aren't they, we had a similar one in my childhood house
The HISTK playground looks so cute. We'll have to swing by and take a peek at it this trip.
The pasta really does look delicious. In the past I would probably have picked the one Chuck got, but since my last child I can't do garlic anymore, so no more pesto for me.
What a beautiful pool area. I hope the water warmed up for you guys.
Well, you know your resort is well-themed when even the toilets are special!!
Nice Mousekeeping surprises!
Your pasta meals look so YUMMY!!!! and ow those were some big pieces of cake....CSR's were half the size.
Looking forward to your birthday!
Great updates! I am jealous about LMA, we would have loved to have seen it. Not enough hours in the world for everything!
Personally I don't do primer. I do multiple coats of the same color. Every time I've done primer, I need 2 coats over the primer, even if the primer is tinted. Plan for 2 coats no matter what, maybe 3 and buy GOOD paint. The quality makes a huge difference. I've used BERH, Valspar, Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams. The BM and the Sherwin Williams provided much better coverage even with a dark color in my opinion. Yes, they did cost more but ultimately saved me time and total coats.
Great update Carissa. You are making me homesick for POR. I just love that place, but guess we should try others.
Oh, ate at Cracker Barrel last night. Sooooo good!
My usual, Country Fried Steak, Mashed Potatos with white gravy, green beans, and a side salad. I did hear someone ordering a lemon pepper trout that I may have to try next time. DH orders the same thing except he gets corn and cole slaw. He doesn't eat any beans.
The food was great as usual, but we had to track down a manager because after 10 minutes no one had greeted us or taken our drink order. I don't think the staff knew who we belonged to.
Hi Carissa! Great update! I love the toilets at POR that is so funny you took a picture of them Oooo I wonder what Chuck got you! I can't wait to hear all about your bday...a stitch kind of day?? The suspense is killing me!
Hey there Carissa! Greetings from the NC Mountains!!!! I just read through and now caught up!!!! I'm lovin it!!!!!
Let me just say we were visiting my parents (who live close to I95) in eastern NC, just as you were coming through the strom in NC! My step father was in Hope Mills for his job just as the storm had turned over that truck! We were waiting for him to return and he called saying he would be late b/c he was in traffic caused by the storm!!! Glad you all made it through safely just as he did!!!!
Love the report and can't wait for more updates!!!!
Looks like a fun time at the pool!
The pasta looks delicious, dh would love that.
LOVED your update! There is nothing like relaxing by the pool after a crazy day at the parks! Sorry it was a bit chilly though. POR looks like such a peaceful resort! Your desserts looked yummy and so did the pasta! Bummer about the kids meals though!
Ditto on the photos! Thanks for sharing them!

and your boys are adorable!
Was the water really that cold? I've been trying to convince DH we should go in the cooler months and that's one of his biggest complaints....he wants to be able to enjoy the pools & water parks without freezing......
The food all looks yummy - especially the chocolate cake!! You were so sweet to give it to your boys! I am not sure if I could have shared chocolate - it's my favorite!
I think the problem that day was that it had been raining and it was cool - not much sun. I don't really consider March to be a "cooler" month as it can still get pretty hot. I think as long as you aren't thinking about January (my favorite month to go) or February - you'd be fine. I didn't actually go in the water that day, but Chuck said it was chilly. There were still tons of people in the pool and the day that I went in it was plenty warm.
I'd like to go in January and experience walking around the parks without feeling like I'm in a oven
That is an interesting towel formation!
I love the towel animal I can't wait to get to POR it looks so beautiful. I am sure my husband will be hitting up the pasta station it is his favorite food. Looking forward to more!
Things have been busy here today, but I'll have an update posted tomorrow morning.
