Good afternoon Sans family
.
Happy Birthday Lynne
Yep, Gideon’s and no line. There started to be a long line as we left. Guess we got there at the right time of day and day. We barely made a dent. Took a walk into City Walk and saw Starbucks opened to 10. Happily they served until 10 as we got there about 10 minutes before. Is a very warm night. Strolled around with the cup sweating as was that warm. Looked around the newer opened Universal store. So bright and colorful. Ended up with a plastic potter cup, that little one will use for her cold drinks. We have traveled here enough, we tend to not buy much. I do tend to buy the HHN shirt, but so far, what I’ve seen, not interested in. We shall see.
Sweet dreams, homies.
Glad to hear you were able to get into Gideon’s. They are very popular at Disney Springs.
Yes, never go racing round the parks....not our idea of fun. Definitely a smell the roses family too. One woman wanted to join us a few years ago for a few hours but her idea of fun was racing to one ride after the other.....even with EP.....er no. You`re correct, there are so many little things to see that many miss. And definitely people watching too.
I do enjoy meandering around and looking at things. Never in a hurry here either. Do people watching a bit and enjoy having a nice sit in Knockturn Alley.
Last day of the gorgeous weather I think. Tomorrow is supposed to rain. Playing frisbee with Hatley and enjoying it while it lasts!
That look like a happy dog playing. Beautiful picture.
Another beautiful day here, but rain is on the horizon for tomorrow. Kinda stinks, since I'm going with my BFF to her parents lake house Sat-Sun. It's about 1.5 hours from here, so I hope the forecast is better by them.
Either way, we will make the best of it!
Hope your visit with friend and family at their lake house goes well and weather cooperates. Have a nice weekend.
Walk was fun this morning as the vegan didn`t come after all....it was too drizzly for her
So we spent a lovely time with two friends and their dogs on a wet and almost deserted promenade along the waterfronts.
Things sometimes work out as they should at times. Although I would have been tempted to talk about meat the whole walk if the vegan showed up and was being bad.....LOL
Friend came round for quick lunch and then we headed into the village where a craft beer store/micropub had opened up recently, very small but well stocked. Managed to pick up a few for Tom to go in his birthday packages. I`m not a beer/IPA drinker but they have some fruity sours which the lady suggested I might like.....will give them a try, left with about 10 bottles. It`s nice to support small local businesses and the people were very nice, I`m sure it`ll do well.
Sounds a nice time having a look at the new micro pub. Supporting local business is so nice. Those drinks look interesting.
Oh and forgot to say, your room key now says in a yellow banner at the top: Universal Express Unlimited. Guess to drive it home to those keep asking how do I get my hotel express pass.
That will be nice.
Walked on with express in Studios. Started with a nice lunch at Today Cafe.
Grandson, my sister who lives local and her grandson and myself went to the Today Cafe the year before last and bought a number of things both sweet and savory there to sample and nothing really stood out to us.
Night time snacking anyone?
Voodoo donuts are really a hit with the vacationers to Universal. I always see people walking with their big pink Voodoo donut boxes.
. I had a dental checkup this morning. 53 years and no cavities.
Wow.....that is something.
And so, we closed down IOA last night with a Hagrid’s ride. Enjoy that coaster in the dark. Well, almost dark, as park closed at 8 last night.
Thank you for sharing the pictures Lynne. Have a wonderful rest of the afternoon and a safe flight home.
Blood drinks and bloody food options from one of the now set up food stores
Will have to look for those. Sounds interesting.
Metro West welcome to the Sans family
Weather here a Has been warm. Supposed to be 88 to 90 but with humidity high will feel like 97.
Did another walk on Thursday will add pics from my phone.
Bronchitis is slowing getting better. The cough is worse at night, but it is par for the course. Then my back went out yesterday. My back has been tender for a few days. When the dics start to swell out it’s obvious. I’am already on steroids so fingers crossed. Sitting and standing to long are out pain is to bad. No more walks till back is better. Ever heard that saying when it rains it pours.
I received a call from my Aunt Thursday night after 11 pm that my Uncle passed away. It had been expected. He was in the Nursing Home and was receiving Hospice. He had previously had cancer and survived that and got Covid in November and it attacked his lungs pretty bad. He had a number of other medical issues after and just could not get better. He was 81 and a wonderful Uncle. I’am so glad my Aunt had the time to say goodbye to her sweetheart. He was a happy, generous good soul. He will be missed.
I’am praying I feel good enough to be able to sit in the SUV to go to the Grave side service tomorrow afternoon as it’s an hour away.
On a positive note grandsons high school played their first Football Game yesterday evening and they won 31- 7.
I have made appointments to build a Lightsaber and Droid when I go to Galaxy’s Edge in September......LOL....can you tell I have had to much time on my hands.....I already have the ressie for Olga’s Cantina. This should round out all things I have not done there I think. Trying to make a list of Christmas items for the Star Wars and Harry Potter fans in the family.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Saturday.
Thank you for saying.after meeting you for dinner!! Yes, we do lose our way a lot.......lol.......
My poor husband has to clean it up, because I am a sympathetic vomiter. Luckily, our short hair doesn't shed or vomit much.
Lynne
....if you never tell me anything else in friendship....I owe you big time for them!!! I have friends begging for the borders to open for me to buy them some more.......not Bath & Body stuff....they all want the Tide pens.....and they all thank my friend Janet for that.......lol......
