I LOVE Boma and the AK Resort. I would love to stay there sometime, but it IS far away from things. We have eaten at Boma several times, and it is so much fun to sample all the different foods. We always plan time to walk around while we are there and enjoy the resort and the animals. That poor little ribbon garter snake - I bet you scared him to death!! LOL
I've already said that we're going to allow ample time to walk around and see more of the resort next time we eat at Boma. Honey, I am surprised that I didn't stomp all over the snake as much as I was dancing around.
I'm glad you got to see Coronado Springs. That is the only moderate we have stayed in, but it was nice. The conventioneer mostly stay in their meetings and out of the way. I just really hate to pay extra money over the budgets when we spend so little time in the room. If we stayed longer, it would be great to have a fancier resort, but I am very happy with Pop Century in the meantime. The All-Stars are okay, and I have stayed in two different ones, but I love Pop. I do aspire to stay in the Polynesian once in my life though!
I wouldn't mind staying at the value resorts. It's John that I can't convince. It's not that he's a snob or anything but he thinks that the idea of just one bus stop is "dumb". I don't know why since we stand in the lines at the parks. Oh and he likes the beaches at the CBR.
It is fun to see Hunter growing up and collecting the girls. He reminds me of my 14 year old grandson, who has discovered girls. I get a kick when I pick him up after band camp and see him getting two or three hugs before he leaves!
That's the same thing that happens to Hunter! Does your grandson even realize that they like him? Hunter has no clue and we have to tell him.
It is neat hearing all the "behind the scenes" stuff about the Robertsons. Have you tried their new restaurant yet? They have certainly branched out into everything, and they are very smart about it. I think the weekly devotionals that Sadie and her friend do are really a neat thing for a teenager in that family to take on - great way to use their "celebrity" to talk to others about their faith.
Haven't tried it yet. It's still new and everybody and their great grandparents are eating there. The restaurant is right beside Academy Sports which is HUGE and there wasn't a single parking place all the way down to Academy. It was ridiculous!
One of Hunter's best friends if one of Sadie's best friends (thus their paths crossing) and he sees her out and about all the time. It's neat to see how down to Earth they all are.
I just love hearing about your trips with Mama. She is such a good sport about everything, and keeps up quite well. You are both very lucky to live next to each other. I treasured my years with my Mother when she moved down to live with us.
My Mama is something else. Yes, we get on each other's nerves but I'm pretty darn sure that we wouldn't trade a second we are with one another.
I am glad you are getting lots of posts in, because you will be taking off soon for Thanksgiving in Tennessee, and then you will have to come back and tell us about that!
I am heading over to Houston to my daughter's this week, because I won't see them at Thanksgiving. Hope you have a great trip and a wonderful Thanksgiving, because I probably won't post again before you leave since I will be busy enjoying my grandkids!
And I will be sure to keep an eye out for snakes too!
