oh my goodness! The size of that burger wasn't really apparent until the pic of Steve holding HALF of it!! And I think your entree could have fed my family of 5!!
It's probably a good thing I catch up on your TR while I eat lunch or else I'd be dreaming of food all day
It's funny, because I said the same thing as I was taking pictures....the photos just weren't doing the size of that bad boy justice. That's when I had him cut it and hold it. It just gives a whole different perspective on its massiveness!! Easy to understand why he wasn't interested in any of my left-overs.
What a great night. The food looked so good. I'll have to remember that name as we don't have that restaurant in my area.
The last night of vacation is always sad. I'm glad you got the hot tub to yourselves and could remissness about your trip.
While I had thought that the only two Hash House A Go Go locations were in Las Vegas (the original) and Orlando, it turns out there are several more! Here is where you can find them:

What a perfect day for you both. The portions were huge, you definitely could have shared
I need to start ordering from the kids menu there
. I'd even guess that those portions might be too large for me to finish!!
We missed the dolphin nursery in Feb. It was closed for the refurb. We really missed it and wondered where the dolphins ended up.
We ate at Hash House about a year ago. We ordered each kid a pancake meal from the kids menu. It was so big. If we go again they will share one!
I have seen that pancake, and OMG! It is larger than half of the kids that order it
. It looked mighty good, though. Bet the kids lapped it up (or what they could eat of it, anyway
).
R came home from the butcher with a GIANT $70 brisket today. All I can say is that thing better turn out heavenly!!
I hope your Easter feast turned out as great as you had hoped! But I blame you for my brisket craving this weekend
. I tried to fulfill it with a meal or two of pulled pork over the course of the weekend, but good as it was......it just wasn't the same.
I thought you'd gotten them somewhere in Canada. A Google search of the capris name and it seems that also must be a Canadian thing or they are sold under a different name down here. Oh well. I'll keep the store in mind if I make it up to Canada this summer.
I checked the Canadian Mark's website, and they're not showing up there yet either (they have the same brand jeans, just not the capris). I sure hope they haven't discontinued them. They are truly the best summer bottoms I've owned in a long, long time.
I stumbled across your trip report and loved reading every bit. I anticipated each night returning home from work to see what Gina and Steve were up to next. Thank you!
Aww, thank you so much!
What a kind thing to say. I can't thank all you guys enough for reading along, commenting, and just making these reports so much fun to write. Without you all....well.....I'd have turned off my laptop a long time ago!!
Looks like a great last day of vacation! It was sweet that Steve insisted you get another pearl - you'll have to share photos of the actual finished necklaces!
Not the best picture but this will give you an idea:
Some of my favourite SeaWorld souvenirs!

2) I (obviously read this a few days a go....but life, as you will soon hear about since Sunday is Easter and my presence on the facebook will more than likely reappear, has gotten a little nutty, crazy) meant to post after your post about Discovery Cove. Iwas just at Discovery Cove on Sunday. And my expirence was
and
. It took FOR-EV-ER to check us in.
We stopped for our complimentary photo and I told the photographer that there were 3 households present and his response was "are you doing the dolphin swim later? you can add these to your CD if you buy that, but these aren't free anymore" and I'm pretty sure my face did this:
. I do not like the direction that a Mr. Manby seems to me taking that company sometimes......then.....
We had the gentleman handing wetsuits arguing with me about how a shortie is warmer than a long wetsuit (my very lack of interal blubber on my family, wanted warmth for the 9am dolphin swim time, which they wanted later but weren't allowed to pick) and never-the-less, another kind woman gladly got us the long wet suits they wanted, even after still arguing with the other dude. To say it was a chilly morning, he had a jacket on over his nametag, so even if I wanted to complain, I don't even know what his name was!
And then, at lunch....I apparently completely blew the minds of two different culinary workers by asking for a salad that didn't have cheese on it. The first one let me stand there for 5 plus minutes while she "checked on it"....as I stood there watching her make more salads. I was there so long, that eventually someone else cmae up and asked if they could help me. She was much more helpful, but still confused as to why I would want a salad without cheese, and that it would be impossible if they weren't currently making them.
Either way, she got me some cranberries (and no oranges...which is what I wanted) and asked if that would be okay to put on top of the side salad that didn't have cheese on it to begin with. It was awful.
Obviously, we still loved our time there, and it went WAY TOO fast. And the 4 kids loved all of it, but these things left me with a bad taste in my mouth.....
My main moral to the story is that apparently Discovery Cove no longer gives complimentary photos unless you have paperwork that says they will.
3) Do you have an itinerary yet for your fast approaching trip?!
Oh man, I am so sorry your DC visit wasn't the smooth and dreamy experience that it SHOULD have been
. I am glad that everyone enjoyed themselves despite the challenges, but the fact that there were so many issues and disappointments is truly unacceptable. It makes me sad to think the quality of the experience might be declining
. I had heard that they discontinued the complimentary family photos.....which just smacks of 'cheapness' to me.....but the other issues are truly unacceptable.
As for our itinerary, there's nothing much set in stone. We plan to visit Fort Wilderness on Sunday night (April 30th) for dinner at Trails End and a wagon ride. Monday, May 1st is our anniversary, and we have reservations at Capones. Other than that, its pretty much all Universal and time at our resort. While I had been hoping to be able to add in a special "different" day (SeaWorld, a water park, a day at Epcot for Flower & Garden) our budget took a huge hit this Easter weekend when our little Dash somehow broke one of his canine teeth half off
. Good Friday was spent tracking down an emergency vet clinic who could see him (he was in SO much discomfort) which ran us $320 by the time we were finished, and he has emergency surgery on Tuesday to remove the rest of the tooth (estimated to be another $700-900
). While neither of us thought twice about his care and the associated costs ..... we love that little bum and would do anything to help alleviate his pain .... it certainly nixed any chance of adding anything else to the current plans. Especially when I'm still waiting for customs and immigration to issue my employment authorization card. I need an income!!!
Any chance we'll get the opportunity to say hello somewhere, sometime over that week?
.
), I haven't been sitting at the laptop very much. I hope to get another installment prepared and posted by later tonight, and if not, then tomorrow for sure. With just our final day to report on.....and our next trip just 11 days away.....it's time to get moving and get this report wrapped up.
