M and I went down to Orlando with her sister, brother-in-law and six-year-old nephew so M could lock down the "best aunt ever" status by taking him to Disney. We got one of the work time shares from my office, flying down on 2/11 and returning on 2/18.
[1] The time share had a full kitchen, and we packed lunches into the theme parks, so I didn't actually eat out that many times considering that we were gone a week. I ended up eating out eight times, of which:
- two were airport meals on the way there and on the way back
- three were snacks at various theme parks. This included a Butter Beer at Diagon Alley, twist ice cream cone from Dinosaur Gertie's in Disney's Hollywood Studios, and a Pineapple Whip in Disney's Animal Kingdom.
- one was a full meal at "Moe's Tavern" in the Simpsons part of Universal Studios.
- one was takeout that we ate at the time share. We got
Giordanos (I think that's the correct location), which is Chicago deep dish. I was pleased to find it outside Chicago, it had been many years since I had it.
- and one was dinner back in Cleveland the night we returned. At Deagan's, of course.
This meant I had ice cream twice, both at places I hadn't been to before so
within the resolution. The Butter Beer was perilously close to being a dessert, but not quite. I also drank more Coke at the house than I really should have. I should probably start counting pop as a dessert, because let's be honest, it's probably got more sugar than most desserts!
