May 12 – day 6

OK! God loves us – it’s another sunny day. :sunny: (Pool day). Pack 10 beers in the cooler and down the stairs we go. Spend the day swimming, relaxing, and drinking those cold beers (with pistachios, of course). Make a reservation for Spoodles again – hope it doesn’t rain tonight. Did you ever make a reservation at Spoodles? It is the funniest thing – no matter what time you ask for they have 10-15 minutes earlier or later. JM called and asked for 7:30 or 8PM. They countered with 7:40 or 7:50. Struck a deal for 7:50 – thank you Duncan at PS.

It’s now 5PM – thinking how we would still be at our desks back home. Enough depressing thoughts! What will we order at Spoodles? If the fettuccine is not on the menu JM will break down and cry. :sad: Sounds enticing, but that sun is so perfect. Raouf has the kids all excited over some kind of water polo game. Some poor chap at the pool has a huge piece of wood stuck in his heel. It is his first day here and he is wondering how he will walk thru the parks. Feel sorry for him, but glad it isn’t me!

Head over to Epcot at 7PM. We see a band called the Nelsons. Ricky Nelson’s sons – remember him?
Ozzie & Harriet’s grandsons – remember them?
What, were you born yesterday!?

They were surprisingly great. They don’t have much new material, but play many of their father’s old songs: Travelin Man, Hello Marylou, I’m Walkin and Garden Party. Their final number is Just One More Day, which leaves a lump in your throat. Excellent. They said it is their 4th year at Epcot, but our first time seeing them. Hope to see them next year – very happy, fun music. I think the guitar player was making eyes at JM. :rolleyes1

After the concert ends we shuffle off to Spoodles. Weather was beautiful, sun is setting, there’s a breeze and no humidity. Is this the usual or unusual weather for May?

Can’t help but notice that the Boardwalk is buzzing. There’s a man playing this piano on a bicycle and another show going on down on the side. Everyone just seems so happy. There’s entertainment everywhere and the weather is so perfect. Never saw so many families on those multi-person bicycles. There seems to be so much excitement in the air.

I find myself on line at Spoodles just to leave my name. We are dispatched a beeper and take a short walk. In no time we are paged. I was not expecting such a great meal. We split Prince Edward Island mussels for an appetizer. The bread and seasoned olive oil are superb. JM has her fettuccine and I have the NY strip steak. Delicious and a bargain at 42.50 thanks to JM’s 20% off dining card.

Back to Epcot as it is open til midnight tonight. This is our first time in Epcot on a late night. The lines were pretty long – couldn’t do Soarin again. Managed to see the Land, Honey I Shrunk the Audience, Figment (it will always be Figment to us), and Test Track.

Midnight – a beautiful romantic walk back to the Beach Club. It doesn’t get any better than this! :love2:
 
What an awesome day! Sounds like heaven to me. Can't wait to try Spoodles next month! Thanks for posting ... you're a funny guy.
