I left off walking towards our next destination...the GMR! A lot of people do not like this ride, but I love it! I even managed a couple of pictures this time:
Back outside after the rain, still raining
We browsed through some of the shops (to shop and stay dry) and saw these hilarious shirts:
We soon decided that we were hungry and should get some lunch. We were closest to the Backlot Express so we meandered over there. I had thought the whole restaurant was outdoors/uncovered, but luckily, I was wrong! We picked the perfect time to eat lunch because there was no wait to order and we easily found a table. Once we were done eating, the crowds were really picking up. My mom had a roasted vegetable sandwich which she loved. I had a burger. It was some special that had avocado and special sauce on it. I ended up picking most of the avocado off I swear they must have put an entire avocado on the burger. Plus an entire onion which I also picked off. But the rest was really good!
Back outside with our bellies full, still raining
More shopping, wandering through the streets of America:
a perfect time to do some "singin in the rain"
**note to self - get outside and get some sun on those pasty white legs!
By this time, our FP for TSM was ready to use
and we once again went up the special FP/2 people staircase and were on the ride in about 5 minutes!
We wandered some more have I mentioned other than our fave rides, we dont care for this park? So we stopped for a snack and I had one of the infamous butterfinger cupcakes from Starring Rolls Bakery. It was good
but its very cold when you get it so Id recommend letting it sit for a minute and letting it soften up. Not quite as amazing as I thought it would be though.
So with it still raining, we opted to head back to the resort. The boats were running, thank goodness so we were back at the BC in no time. For some reason, we felt this was the time to document the towel animals we'd been getting every day:
elephant, mickey head and alligator (a lobster was left the next day)
Once in our room, I immediately took my shoes and socks off to dry, changed into comfy (and dry) clothes and got under the covers. We watched some talk shows and I took a little nap
when I woke up I checked emails on my phone. My friend/new mommy from day 1 emailed some photos to me taken at a hospital photo shoot (do they do that now? These were full on professional, gorgeous shots!) Anyway, the baby is adorable (not that I was surprised), and the new parents look so happy. But, here it comes again
the sad, loser feelings. Seriously? I need to tell my friends not to have babies when I am on vacation next time
I showered (I was chilly and also wanted to be alone) and got dressed for dinner at Cape May! We had eaten here a couple years prior and it was good but not something we had to repeat every visit. This visit was pretty good especially when my mom thought it was fun to empty the crab out of the crab legs, but not eat it
. I love crab but stink at getting the meat out so she got me huge pieces of crab! Everything else was good too beef, mashed potatoes, salad bar, fried shrimp, crab legs, peel and eat shrimp I think it may have been better than our last visit, but not sure. The desserts were the same as is served up in the CL lounge so nothing extra special there, but they were good! I would eat here if I was a guest at the YC or BC but I, personally, would not make a special trip here for dinner. Unless of course you love mussels and crab legs because you can eat your weight and then some of those items!
We rolled ourselves to the Solarium and I took trip notes for the day and people watched while I tried to get out of my funk (I was hiding it well) they were going to be having the outdoor movie inside the Solarium since it was still raining out
We weren't interested in the movie so we went back upstairs to watch Dancing with the Stars and get a good nights sleep.
Up Next: Dying batteries!
I asked which ship was better (of 2 options) and was told to "search it myself". Nice, huh? But I have been getting lots of info just from reading. What cruiseline did you do? We are groing through Princess. We are thinking of the doing the train in Skagway along the Yukon highway (or whatever it is...)
Everytime we entered there this past summer, it was like a private entrance!
(and we have some kids below level) as we are deemed a failing school as we haven't made adequate yearly progress (ever.) Maybe this year!! 
Sorry for the tangent.
