Animation Experience

I have been wanting to try the animation experience at Animal Kingdom for awhile now and I managed to get a fast pass for 9:40 this morning.

Unfortunately the lines were so bad getting into the park (I guess it is spring break?) I almost missed it!

While I am not an artist- not bad for an accountant!

Now just a short wait before my lunch at Tiffin. Another place that has been on my list!

Switch places

I would love to switch places with Richard right about now. I could be sitting on the patio drinking a glass of wine looking at the lake.

But I am here dealing with this:

We had a toilet that kept backing up in our house. Turns out there was a cap that got stuck in one of the pipes during construction- 4 hours later it is still there. They have moved it and lost it in the plumbing a few times, but it is still in the pipes somewhere!

Bike Ride

Sunday was my first organized bike ride. We drove about an hour to a town called Inverness. It was very low key with a start time between 7:30 and 9:00 am and you could chose any distance you wanted up to 100 miles (we rode 34). This was my longest ride so far and I did ok.

We followed it up with a local breakfast and the Hen House. The food was your good old small town food and definitely needed after the bike ride!

We then came home to this crashed out on the new couch.

Food and Wine- Day 2

I was really looking forward to the macaroni and cheese, but I was a bit disappointed. It was loaded up with pepper bacon, cheddar cheese and leeks.
Food from Wine and Dine Studio. Seared scallops, truffled celery root puree, Brussel sprouts and wild mushrooms. Then a butternut squash ravioli with a brown butter vinaigrette, parmesan cheese and pumpkin seeds.
Trio of cheeses with wine pairings. The wines were a Reata Chardonnay, Rainstorm Silver linings pinot noir rose, and a spellbound petite sirah
From Brazil a Moqueca. Brazilian seafood stew featuring scallops, shrimp, and white fish with a coconut-lime sauce and steamed rice.
