Cute clothes! Jasmine did good!

Have fun with the pedis today and good luck shopping for new sandals. Have you tried the Teva flip flops. They are awesome. I am going to get a new pair or two for June!

Hair dos, pedis and shopping all in one day? Will you adopt me?
Sounds like a great time! I hope you find some great sandals. I got some Fit Flops last year and they sure didn't hurt my calves at all! My only complaint was they were thong sandals and the strap made a blister between my toes, but they're nice and squishy on my feet.

HAPPY SHOPPING I hope you have good luck and find all you need

We are finally done ours. I gave up on finding some sandals to wear. Instead I just found a gel type padded thing to put into my favorite crocs that got worn out in the toe bed area where I need the most cusioning. So, I'm thrilled to have extended the life of my FAVORITE crocs and I know those will work.

OH NUTS!!! Now that you got me thinking - DD still needs shoes. UGH - guess I'm not completely done then. haha

Jasmine got some great buys! Love the shorts and the tops from Forever 21 as well as the one from Kohl.

Enjoy the pampering, hope you have fun shopping and manage to find some sandals.

I can't believe that I just found your pre trip report. I'm heading back to read but wanted to say hi. I see this is just a mother daughter trip this time. So sorry your surprise was ruined but I'm sure you will have a great time.

Looks like you guys had a successful shopping trip. I Love Target so much too. It's always the first stop when I'm out to spend some money.

Have you stayed at Pop before? It's our favorite value resort!

 

[disneydreamingdebby]

I'm certain you had a wonderful day! Our temps were in the 80s and my daughter told me it was only 70s in Florida...gotta love apps.

Did you have any luck getting new sandals? I hope so!

 

[PirateKate]

I love the first pedicure of the season! Sounds like a perfect day.

She sure did! I hope she's done now

I have never heard of Teva flip flops...but I will be googling them now! Thanks for the tip my friend

Have a fun day shopping with Jasmine!

We had a great day...it was relaxing yet we got everything we needed to get done done!!

Sure...she's always wanted a sister

My Birkenstocks are thong sandals so I'm used to that....I'll be googling those as well!! Fit Flops...love the name!

I had no luck with sandals on Saturday so will continue to look! Darn...it's always such a chore when we need to do more shopping isn't it

Jasmine got some great buys! Love the shorts and the tops from Forever 21 as well as the one from Kohl.

Enjoy the pampering, hope you have fun shopping and manage to find some sandals.

The funniest thing about our pedi's was that we each thought we would buy a color and then have it in case we chipped it. When we both went into our purses to get out our colors....we had picked the exact same colour She bought her's on the way home from work one night and I bought mine on my lunch hour!

I can't believe that I just found your pre trip report. I'm heading back to read but wanted to say hi. I see this is just a mother daughter trip this time. So sorry your surprise was ruined but I'm sure you will have a great time.

You're here now so that's all that matters

Looks like you guys had a successful shopping trip. I Love Target so much too. It's always the first stop when I'm out to spend some money.

Hey girl! Yes, we've stayed twice before but our last time was 2006 so it's been a while! Target really is the best!

I'm certain you had a wonderful day! Our temps were in the 80s and my daughter told me it was only 70s in Florida...gotta love apps.

Did you have any luck getting new sandals? I hope so!

We sure did! We didn't get home until almost 6! No luck yet on the sandals but I'll keep looking!

I love the first pedicure of the season! Sounds like a perfect day.

Couldn't agree more! The lady I had this time was amazing...best leg message I've ever had....I'll be giving her my business from now on!

 

[IheartDDuck]

Yay, first pedicure of the season! I need one so badly right now. It's the sign that spring and summer are really here.

Jasmine got some really cute stuff for the trip. Gotta love shopping...well, I do.

That's great about the resort switch!

I know...I look so forward to it! I usually only get 3 a year but I should still keep it up during the winter but I don't

We have that little thing called shopping in common....now if I just had an unlimited supply of money to support the habit

We are very excited about staying at Pop...I located our pics from our 1996 trip when we stayed at Pop, I plan on posting some this weekend!

 

[amazingact21]

I hope you and Jasmine had a great day! Sounds like a lot of fun. Shopping, pedicures, lunch....mmm, wonderful girls' day.

It was a great day....I didn't find sandals but I did luck in with some clothing purchases I will be on the lookout again this weekend for sandals!

 

[Queenofallthings]

Can you believe it's less than a month until we're back at our happy place? I can't...panic mode, begin now! I shouldn't say that tho as I am in much better shape this year than I have been in past years

I should begin by telling you that I had no luck last weekend finding sandals so I will be on the hunt again today! I did buy a new pair of running shoes but I much prefer sandals when I'm in the world, the runners are for my daily walks! I also lucked in with some new clothes, unfortunately, I bought a skirt without trying it on and when I got home it was too big No worries, I`ll run it back to the store today and get a smaller size....I love the sound of that!

I thought I would take you on a stroll down memory lane! I found the disc with the pics from our 2006 trip when we stayed at Pop. We went in August, got hit by Hurricane Ernesto and had the time of our lives! Jasmine was 13 (turning 14 in Oct) and would be starting her first year of high school! Where did these last 6 years go...this seems like yesterday!

Such a fun day this was....we were just wondering on this particular day and decided to stop and see some characters! I remember it was terribly hot this particular day!

Photobucket was not co-operating this morning so this shot is out of order. Mini Montana had turned 2 while we were away and she was showing me her new "Miss Canada" outfit she got! What a cutie pie!

At the Pop Century bus stop

Animal Kingdom

Jasmine, - before makeup and hair straightners

Outside Pop waiting for out ride to the park! My girlfriend picked us up everyday and got us into the parks - the perks of having friends that work at Disney

Bowling Pin Pool - we were in the Lady building so this was close for us!

More shots of Pop

Tramp Building

Can you spot Jasmine soaking up the last rays of the trip on the right? I remember how she was just sitting there crying because the trip was over

Waiting for the town car....I think the tears may have stopped at this moment, but they began again when we got into the car!

There you have it....it will be exciting to be back and I'm sure it won't feel like it's been 6 years since we stayed there! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

 

[TinkerbellLuvr7]

I remember those days before make-up and hair straighteners!!!! Your pics reminded me that I need to call and request a building for POP when I got in June with my friend!!

Congrats on needing a smaller sized skirt What a great feeling knowing your hardwork is paying off!

I love the old pictures. Jasmine was (and is) such a cutie! Thanks for sharing
