Having Fun Eating Out!


On our way to Atlanta, GA, we stopped for lunch in Charlotte at one of my favorite restaurants, 

Mini's Cafe.  

I had this delicious mixed berry crepes meal.


I was so excited when I found a Mini's Cafe on the GPS as we were going around Charlotte!

I love this restaurant with it's lovely New Orleans decor and delicious meals.

We've been to them in Illinois, Ohio, Virginia, Florida and now North Carolina. 

I still can't believe there are none where we live in SE Pennsylvania.  

Tonight we're going to a wedding and tomorrow heading south to Florida and Walt Disney World.


We love this movie!  

Who would ever think a movie with a rat in a restaurant would be adorable!

We're Off on Another Adventure!

 This is our travel van.

My Hubby does all of the driving and he likes to snack occasionally (...OK...I do too!) - mostly to break the monopoly of staring at the road while driving hundreds of miles a day.  
(How does he do that anyway - driving makes me so sleepy???)

Hey.. just because we're counting calories doesn't mean we deprived ourselves of our chocolate and other goodies.  Although I may experience some serious caffeine withdraw with leaving my Keurig at home.

This is our lounge area during the day and our bed at night.

Yeah...we like lots of pillows.

The red and blue bags contained our bathroom stuff - everything in them has already been put away in our small bathroom cabinets.

Shoes are in the plastic bags on the right and they are stored underneath the cushion. 

I bring lots of shoes...it's sort of my thing.  Hubby has accepted it graciously.

All of our furniture in the van is covered with a fake type of leather fabric.  

It's wonderfully butterly soft but it's slippery as heck.  

The couch/bed is covered with many soft layers already - mattress pad, foam, fitted bottom sheet and blanket - so there's no sliding around on it.  

But the two cushions on each side of the van in front of the couch weren't covered.  So I decided to sew up some covers with some left-over muslin fabric I had on hand.

Just a simple draw-string cover.

Hopefully we won't slide off these cushions now.

It's amazing how much these little cabinets hold.

We have to be careful and not bring too much weight with us - there's not much payload capacity to the van.

Everything is packed now except for our computers.  

It seems weird to be done packing this early in the evening.
I guess I'll get a cup of coffee and take a break to watch some TV.
  
I want to let you know that my blogging and posting may not be as frequent while we are traveling as we are so depended on the internet services offered by the various campgrounds and hotels.

Believe it or not Walt Disney World's campground is one of the worst for blogging with pretty lousy internet service.  And Ft. Wilderness is rated 10/10/10 which is the best rating a campground can receive.  We tried their current internet service last year and it was so bad I asked for our money back and got refunded without any questions.

Tomorrow morning we will head south on another fun filled adventure to Florida and Walt Disney World.

Remember Disney's Lady and The Tramp?  It's one of my favorite childhood movies.










Listen to the fabulous Peggy Lee sing her famous Siamese Cat Song...

(don't forget to turn off my music at the bottom of the screen)

Happy Valentine's Day!

I finished my second Heart Dishcloth.  

This one has a pink heart.

I'm not sure if we will celebrate Valentine's Day at home or go out for supper. 

We are leaving for our Florida RV trip to Walt Disney World soon and we'll be eating out quite frequently during the next month.  Home cooked meals for the next few days may be nice and appreciated by my Sweetheart. 

So...I'm leaning towards home cooked.

Two hearts...one love!


We'll be stopping in Atlanta on our way to Florida to attend a wedding.  

This is the first time we've had to pack fancy clothes for one of our RV trips.

We downloaded some fun Disney apps on our iPhones to play with while at WDW.  

Our travel van is sitting in our driveway so we can finish packing it.

Happy Valentine's Day to my Sweetheart!
Thanks for making me feel like a Queen everyday.

Wishing you and your loved ones a very Happy Valentine's Day!
