Something About Nothing..........#11

[schumigirl]

Back from Scotland now. Had a wonderful trip and my mother had a fantastic celebration for her 80th........it was so nice getting everyone from immediate family, cousins, distant relatives and friends altogether in one place at one time.

Restaurant was beautiful and it was just perfect. Not every day you're 80

Got some beautiful pictures too.

So back to normality after 4 days of being pampered and waited on..........

Hope everyone's doing ok

Aww thanks.........miss having internet up there..........but the sea and mountain views from my mothers more than make up for that........

Schumi, so glad your mum had so many wishing her a happy 80th birthday.

Pampering is not overrated. I would get used to that in a heartbeat.

Hope all had a good day.

Lol.......isn't every family the same in some old way.......

My sister and I spent ages on a very carefully laid out table plan.....complete with place cards so there was no ambiguity about who was sitting where..........my suggestion........there's usually someone one would wish to avoid.......I'll say no more so I don't get into any trouble......not like me at all.........


We have had fog all day last couple of days.....clears up in time for it to get dark!

So.........spent the afternoon ironing.........did spend the morning shopping for new big dining room lamps.......we saw thousands and went to loads of places.......trouble is I know exactly what I want, and didn't find it. Have to keep searching

Thanks Lynne.........it was a very special day.....and once most people left and it was just a group of around 15 or so of us left in the hotel left it got even better........yes pampering is something I could never get tired of. I found a castle near mum that does spa type breaks that I never knew existed........plans are afoot......lol......

Sorry no wednesday camel. We arrived at CB about 12:30 pm. We are waiting for our suite and have been checking the place out. I have to say so far I'm impressed for the money. This place is huge!

Well got our room.

 

[Lynne G]

Nice Bluer. I'd like to stay there, but my kids want the unlimited express pass. So, like to hear how your DS likes it.

We won't stay here and visit the parks. We are moving to RPR (second home)in the morning. We only did this because RPR had no rooms for a reasonable price for tonight. So we are using it for a relaxing resort day.

As for DS he likes, he said it's good but it's not RPR or PBH, lol. He is spoiled.

But so far I could recomend for a stay before deluxe or a goof off.

I have it on good authority the camel is doing the backstroke on the other side of that big old pool

every time I see a pic of that water feature expect to see somebody diving off the top level ala the olympics.

did u eat there? what's your opinion of the rooms?

Bluer, the one thing i did read about Cbay that i would like is they have a tuna casserole dish at the food court.
other than that, i'll take a pass on staying there.

reading that orlando temps have been great.
can't say the same for where i am.

We got the tower poolside family suite. I have to say they are pretty neat for the price. There is ample room for the 3 of us. We ate some nachos poolside for a early snack. They are average. We also just ate dinner here too. DW had make your own salad bar at the bayliner diner. She brought it upstairs to the bowling alley. DS and I ordered dinner there as we liked the idea of sitting lane side. DS had chicken quesadillas and I had a turkey wrap with a cesar salad. It was good also. Most of the food here remind me of bar food or CS in the parks. If you keep that in mind then you will have no issue.

We are watching TF dark if the moon poolside now, very nice out here today.

DW was talking about that dish but opted for the salad bar. She said it was good too.

Well we will sleep in and go home in the morning, home next door at RPR.

Spring is being so kind, it's officially spring tomorrow. Today, it's 27 degrees out, and 2 to 3 inches of snow tomorrow. Below average temps to follow. No need to put away my winter coat yet.

Thanks for the info and picture Bluer. Glad to hear you are enjoying USO.

 

[macraven]

i swear, sometimes i think we are neighbors LynneG.......

except our snow is not supposed to stick for very long.
and we are only at freezing point right now.

this is thursday..........Mr Mac and i are going out to eat tonight and it won't be at macdonalds.....
but still a jeans type of place.

 

[Lynne G]

HeHe Mac, Mr. G only will eat at a jeans type of place. It is Thursday, and I hope the snow tomorrow will not stick around much. We still have some piles from the last snow. It's been rather cool temps, except for a day or two last week. That wind was cold yesterday, even though it was close to 40.

Have a great day all!

 

[schumigirl]

Bluers.....have a blast at RP

Lynne and mac.......stay warm..........

Mac room for a third at dinner tonight? My boys are having something I can't eat now..............so it's just me to feed..........


Fog cleared early today and it's a beautiful day.......heading back out soon as it's too nice to stay in............need some stuff from Clinique........although it's better when I'm paying in dollars not pounds.......much more fun to shop in Orlando.

Hope everyone's doing ok
