Sat - Sept 27 hot dogs and cheese fries at Casey’s for lunch - 9

Anniversary dinner at Narcoossee’s. Waited about 15 minutes out on the deck – great views. We all had a yummy pomegranate margarita. Mom and I got the seafood bisque that was delicious. Dad got crab cakes that he said were great and DH got the calamari that came with a spicy coleslaw. Mom and I got the scallops but they tasted too peppery and I can make better ones at home. Dad got a special bass dish that he loved and Danny got filet that was just ok. Everyone was too full for dessert – I was bummed as I wanted to try the almond cheesecake – oh well. Nice enough meal but didn’t really blow us away so I don’t think we will be back. - 7.5

Sun - Sept 28 Hemmed and hawed about going to breakfast at Chef Mickeys, especially because of the construction going on. So glad we decided to go, it was really fun and had great character interaction and got some cute photos. Food was pretty good as well and the construction didn’t go on as it was Sunday - 8

Dinner at Kona Café (we had reservations for 7:40 and checked in at 6:30) We had to wait for about 20 minutes and then were seated. Appetizers were awesome as always. We all got crab cakes and sticky wings – delicious. We all got captains mai-tais (we had two) I had a steak that was overdone but I was so full already so no big deal, ate all the mashed potatoes though. Danny and dad got the mahi-mahi but it was different then the one I had last time – kind of plain. Mom got prime rib that she loved. Danny and I got the lava cake but it wasn’t as good as we remembered – and the waitress took it off the bill because of the steak. Mom and dad got a cheesecake that they enjoyed. - appys 10, overall 8

I was at a work conference and we had out client dinner tonight which was a buffet at the Coral reef which was fantastic - 10

Tuesday Sept 30
I had to wok all day and then off to the Magic Kingdom for our dinner reservation at the Plaza for 4:40. Cute place and we all had great sandwiches. I had the veggie - fresh mozzarella, hummus, basil pesto, cucumber, roasted red pepper, tomato, and lettuce on a freshly baked foccaccia bread served with broccoli slaw – it was really good. DH got the Rueben and fries, mom got the cheese steak and dad got the club. Good food at a great price. 9

Thurs Oct 2 was dinner at LeCellier. Didn’t like our first table so we waited for another and got a great table with Patrick and Stephanie as our servers.
I finally got the Prince Edward Island Mussels and they were fantastic. Everyone else got the cheddar soup. I started with a dirty martini, mom and dad got the torontopolitan and DH got a Bahama Mama. We had a bottle of St Michelle Syrah with dinner. We all had the filet that was perfect as always. 10

Friday Oct 3 for dinner we went to Wolfgang Puck Express. We got butternut squash soup – YUM and macaroni and cheese that wasn’t very good. I got Spicy Chicken and Sweet Peppers –good but a little too spicy and Danny got a yummy Chicken Tortilla Melt Focaccia. Great meal for a great price. 8
