Animal Kingdom @Waltdisneyworld~ Night Blossom Drink

The Night Blossom drink from Pongu Pongu was so good! It was the perfect drink to celebrate riding Flight of Passage . It has layers of pear and apple limeade topped with passion fruit boba . Definitely a must try and for under 6$ it makes a great shareable treat✨

Disney Good Neighbor Hotel, Disneyland, Hotel, Review, travel

Best Western Plus Park Place Inn~Disneyland Good Neighbor Hotel


We recently stayed at the @bestwestern in Anaheim called the Best Western Plus Park Place Inn.It is one of Disneyland’s “Good Neighbor” Hotels.
.
One of the first things we loved was the sticker on the door certifying it was clean and ready .
.
Upon entering , we were pleasantly surprised. Since our last stay a few years ago the rooms had been remodeled and had a nice clean, crisp feel.
.
The rooms come with a good size fridge and with a coffee maker and supplies .
.
Some of the things we really loved were the door between our two rooms that we could open to go back and forth. The beds and couch were comfortable and we all woke up feeling refreshed .
.
Oh and this hotel is directly across from @disneyland!!!That is an amazing perk of staying at this property.
.
There is also a bagged breakfast to go that included a pastry, orange and bottled water you can pick up as you walk to the park.
.
The price point was great as well! We paid less then a 100$ a night off season but with the parks opened now the prices can range. We would stay here again if the price was under $200.It’s a great value for the location and room and it easily fits a family of 5 or larger with the connecting door between the rooms✨

The Knight Bus Character Meet @ Universal Orlando

The Knight Bus @universalorlando was one of our favorite character meetups. The bus conductor was so friendly and would pull you into conversation with him and the shrunken head. It was hard to walk away because we enjoyed it so much✨
.
He did a wonderful job chatting with my youngest through mermaid talk all because she was wearing a mermaid jacket . Check out our stories on Instagram below to see the mermaid talk✨

On our recent trip to Disneyland we finally made it down to try Earl of Sandwich.We weren’t really impressed until we actually tasted the sandwiches.They were good.Really good!We also ordered a kids meal pizza which turned out bigger then we expected so we were able to share between our two littles.We spent about 38$ for our family.

Book, Review

My Dearest Dietrich ~ Book Review

My Dearest Dietrich by @amandabarrattauthor was our book club book for this month. It gave an incredible inside view of some of those fighting WW2 in their own backyard.
.
It also provided a different view point into that part of history that had me researching and trying to make sense of what happened and why. So often we hear from the ones who were persecuted but to hear from those on the other side brought light to some areas of that part of history that was good. It helped answer those questions like .. did anyone notice what was happening? We’re they all willing so easily to persecute others and how did they not fight back?
.
I don’t know that I would agree with every choice that Dietrich made but I do love how he was seeking God in every situation,for his approval, his forgiveness or his help. I’m also challenged in my own thought life of how would I have handled those same situations. Would I have responded the same way? Definitely a book that gives you lots to think about❤️

Double Mountain Brewery & Cidery ~Beer Flight

We were excited to try the beer flight @doublemountain brewery
.
The menu has lots of really great options and you get a taster sheet where you can pick up to 5 different choices.
.
It’s a fun way to try different ones and to be adventurous⭐️
.
The tasters come out to you on a tasting tray that has a number under each taster that coordinates with your taster sheet.So fun!
.
We loved all of them but our favorite choices were the ones we wouldn’t have normally chosen so this was a fun way discover that.
.
If your traveling through or near Hood River, Oregon then go!
.

Double Mountain Brewery & Cidery

Double Mountain Brewery was on our list of places to try and we recently had the opportunity to do it
.
The restaurant decor and atmosphere is very rustic, cool and relaxed
.
The service was wonderful! We loved that they also had outside seating to help with social distancing
.
We ordered a pizza, salad and pretzel bites and oh my they were all delish! The pretzel bites and beer cheese sauce was our favorite .. we may have licked it clean🤣.. it was that good!
.
We will also be posting the beer flight we enjoyed here as well.. stay tuned
