Hello everybody I am back but my mind isn't and is still in full vacation mode, that's why I decided to take the rest of the week off from the blog. I'll be back full force next week...
Last week started with a rainy Monday and in the evening I met with two lovely ladies I met in my Blogging Your Way Boot Camp Class last October. Jodi is writing Craft Your Craft and Tina writes the blog Life in Sketch. I hope we'll do this again soon!
Tuesday and Wednesday nothing much happened besides trying to finish my work at the office before heading to Florida for five days. We left during rainy weather and landed in sunny albeit somewhat chilly Tampa. Our hotel was right by the beach in St. Petersburg Beach and the beach front location gave us access to great sunsets every night. Friday we headed to Orlando to go to Disney's Hollywood Studios, after the day spent in the park I was exhausted. We saw the Muppets 3D movie, saved a rebel spy twice on the Star Tours ride, hung out with Captain Jack Sparrow, rode the Rock'n'Roller Coaster and entered the Tower of Terror twice. Too much excitement for one day ;) The other days we spent walking along the beaches or hanging out in the hammocks the hotel provided. One day we walked a total of 6 miles (about 9.6 km), on the way back I was starting to get a little cranky because my feet hurt from walking in the sand...We already got back Monday night and went right back into chilly winter mode, although I am so ready for spring to start after getting a taste of it the past days...
Hope you all had a great weekend too! I am already looking forward to the next one ;)
Oh what a wonderful mini-break for you guys! Sounds like the perfect quick getaway. We feel chained to home right now for a host of good reasons, but I'd love to get away for a bit, but I'd pick snow! Looks like you might get some this weekend, and I'm insanely jealous. XO
ReplyDeleteWe got a good amount of snow last weekend and of course I headed to the mountain yesterday to enjoy it.
Deleteso beautiful pictures Nina, I really hope Spring starts soon :-)
ReplyDeleteI am ready for spring as well but need to get at least one more day of snowboarding in...
DeleteWhat a peculiar pinkish building you've photographed! Great to hear you had nice time. I too hope spring would come soon.
ReplyDeleteThat pink building is the Tower of Terror at Disney's Hollywood Studios, it houses the ride. It was a fun ride but I was scared at first ;)
DeleteWelcome home! I love the second photo in the top row, all those beautifully colored hexagons. I'm glad you had a good time and got to escape the day-to-day for a little bit. Sometimes you just need a getaway! Tower of Terror is my favorite. Somewhere I have a picture of our whole "elevator" right before the drop, and I'm burying my head into my mom's side in absolute fear haha. Good for you for taking the rest of the week off. Have a great (early) weekend and see you back here next week! xo
ReplyDeleteI was super scared before too. The kid next to me asked me if was I excited and I had to tell him that I was scared...
Deletei love all of these photos, such pretty color. i am ready for spring too so i especially love the one of you in your tennis shoes with what looks like a little color on your legs! what a lovely get away. so happy for you. i am dreaming of taking one myself. . .
ReplyDeleteHa, ha my legs only look like I got a tan in reality they are much lighter. I have to thank the Instagram filter I used for that ;)
DeleteWonderful pictures! And good for you for taking a few well deserved blog days off :)
ReplyDeletelove the captures. next time you are in st. pete drop me a note. we can explore my neck of the woods.
ReplyDeleteI definitely will! We didn't do much exploring this time and it is always good to hang out with a local to find the hidden gems...
DeleteIt's so cool that you can fly from the cold and rain to the sun and warmth and still be in the same country! I love that picture you took outside the plane window - hope you enjoy your week off!
ReplyDeleteI love that we hopped on a plane in frigid cold and a little less than three hours later we were greeted with spring like temperatures. I wish I could do that more often...
DeleteI totally hear you on still having the brain on holiday mode...even with all the snow. Thanks for the intro to 2 new blogs, off to check them out!
