one week till Thanksgiving

I am lucky enough to not be cooking for Thanksgiving (thanks Mom! you’re amazing!). In fact, right now I’m still trying to figure out the grocery list for next week’s work lunches — it’s just three days, which means I could probably get away with cheese and crackers if I really wanted to. But I may compromise and make crockpot oatmeal, which is also easy, but more like real food. (Probably I should get things for both, and then I could split up the oatmeal and freeze half of it for the week after Thanksgiving, which tends to sneak up on me after the four day weekend.)

Ah, the conundrums of grocery day.

Florida recap day 2

*Sea World day! Also, the realization that there is no cold water in Florida hotels.

*Remembered to bring two warm shirts to see the penguins in the cold zone. Love those yelling swimmy birds! <3 <3 <3

*Played the touchscreen games in the penguin building — our nest IS the best!

*Did the paddle boats this year! Hilariously, we were warned not to hit other paddle boats, despite the fact that we were the only boat out there.

*Mantas rays are just great.

*I particularly enjoyed the wide variety of musical zones. Very different than Discovery Cove or Disney Springs, which were a much more unified musical experience.

*Electrolyte tabs cover up a LOT when it comes to less-than-fantastic-tasting water.

*When the bus schedule said it was leaving at 6:30, they were not kidding around.

Delicious Food of the day: Citywalk pizza!
