Hollywood Studios

Today was a really awesome day !! Met Lori & Mike at the campground then headed to Hollywood Studios !!

First ride was the Hollywood Twilight Zone Tower of Terror which was quite the thrill (see pic) it was so thrilling that had I eaten breakfast prior to the ride, there’s a strong possibility I might have thrown up! 😂 Then we visited Disney’s newest themed area – Star Wars – Galaxy Edge and boarded the Millennium Falcon for a wild trip through the galaxy; then we calmed it down at bit with a 3D Muppet Movie. Before heading out we strolled the park & stopped for lunch. Next stop was the cast member warehouse to browse discounted Disney merchandise, added 2 more t-shirts to my 100 shirt collection! 🤣

Next stop was the Marina to board a boat so we could visit Wilderness Lodge before heading to a scrumptious buffet back at the campground!

Very fun day !! Thanks Lori & Mike for taking the day off to hang out with me !! And thanks Ben for joining us for dinner !

Sadie had a boring day but she still managed to go for a few walks & a golf cart ride where we saw a fawn & its mother.

Just when you thought there would be no more sunset photos … surprise !!! 🌅🤣

Dog Park, Marina and EPCOT

I got my steps in today during my visit to Epcot … All 6.2 miles of steps ! First I rode 3D Soarin, a ride that engages your senses & allows you to ‘fly’ across the world, so cool ! Afterwards I strolled around the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, enjoying the different culinary offerings.

Sadie was a very good girl while Mommy was gone so I treated her to a golf cart ride & a visit to the dog park & the marina. I also surprised her with Minnie ears & a Minnie collar !! She was a little humiliated when I paraded her around the campground loop, but quickly got over it because of all the wonderful attention she received because she looked so darn cute !

Disney is spotless ! Cast Members are always making sure guest litter is picked up. Plus Disney is an insect free utopia !! No mosquitoes or flies !! Disney controls the insect population with chickens & carbon dioxide traps. Look it up … their process to control insects is fascinating.

Tomorrow I spend the day with my friends, the Wagners ! We’re going to hang out at Hollywood Studios. So stay tuned !!

Sadie asked that I thank everyone who went into Liberation’s Facebook account & voted for our photo ! If we win or not, I still promised Sadie a trip to Petco !

Please enjoy today’s pics !!

Hakuna Matata

While Sadie rearranged some rugs, ripped apart a plastic garbage bag & knocked over a plastic vase with dried lavender in our home this morning, I was enjoying my long-awaited visit to Animal Kingdom !

Arrived there at 7:30am, watched Serengeti animals eat breakfast during a ride via the Kilimanjaro Safari, flew on the back of a banshee in their 3D Avatar Pandora Flight of Passage (totally awesome!), hung out with some gorillas (the oldest is 38 & the youngest is 5 month old Grace), got up close & personal with some prehistoric dinosaurs, did some window shopping & had lunch at the RainForest Cafe !

Came back to my campsite & treated Sadie to another long ride on the golf cart … during the ride we came upon a family of deer living & feeding in the campground. She loves watching them.

Enjoy the pics !! 👍😃💖🐶🐾

All About Sadie Day !!

Sadie had a great day !! She went to the campgrounds’ Waggin’ Tails dog park, sniffed the entire perimeter and almost got peed on by a 15 year old dog named Coconut !

She also insisted on taking numerous sniffing walks until it started raining & thundering.

Sadie absolutely enjoys riding on the golf cart with her ears flapping in the breeze, so we took a 30 minute tour of the entire campground (twice) 😂 !! She saw the turkeys again … they really confuse her because she is not sure what they are!

And Mommy did a little dollar store Halloween decorating today ! 👻🎃

Sadie is a tired pup … at this moment, she’s snoring & dreaming 🤣

Tomorrow is Mommy Adventure Day !

😃💖🐶🐾

DISNEY !! 😃💖

We made it !!! We arrived at Disney around 1:30pm & it’s been nonstop busy ever since !! I actually ugly cried when I pulled up to the campground registration drive thru !! The poor woman who greeted us asked me if I was ok & if I needed water !! 😂

This 2 week adventure is a bucket dream come true !! Sadie is VERY happy too !! She LOVES it here & so do I !! We want to live here forever !!!! Each campsite is so spacious & private ! And they recycle ! 👍

Literally 50 people stopped to see my tiny house & no exaggeration, at least 100 pics have been taken since we arrived ! Folks already have their campsites decorated for Halloween !! And there are wild turkeys nonchalantly roaming the campgrounds. Sadie didn’t understand what they were !! She couldn’t stop staring at them ! 😂

I opted for the meal plan which totals 24 full meals & 24 snacks !! That is a lot of food (see pic of tonight’s food) !! I actually lost 18 pounds since we’ve been traveling, but, guaranteed I will gain it back during this visit !! 😂

Enjoy the attached pics !!

Farewell to the FL East Coast

This is our last night at Beverly Beach Camptown Resort located between Palm Coast & Flagler Beach. Being able to live on the beach & seeing & hearing the ocean everyday at the campground is definitely worth the nightly price tag !! Plus I forgot to mention they recycle here !!!!

A week ago I had to drive over a bridge to get to the resort on the coast. I didn’t know what to expect, but the view took my breath away !! The beginning of the bridge was on an incline, then as you begin to decline, this is the incredible view you see of the Atlantic (zoom in on the 1st pic)!

Besides exploring the area & visiting nearby towns, stores & restaurants this past week, I did some minor tiny house maintenance and my truck got a check up including oil change, tire rotation, fluids topped off & checked the brakes … it was given a 👍. Now Bertha is good to go for another 5,000 miles!

I promise these are the last sunrise & sunset photos ! 😂

Anyone care to guess what the dark blue strip is in the ocean (4th pic) ??

Tomorrow night, we’ll be at a new location which I am sure will make Sadie much happier!! We also get to hang out with my friends, the Wagners (Lori, Mike, Ben & Carlos🐾) !!

I even rented a golf cart so I can easily maneuver around the resort. I never drove one before, but I guess if I can tow a house, I can drive a golf cart !! 🤣

I am so grateful for the opportunity to witness the beauty that each destination offers !

Enjoy the rest of your weekend !!

Sadie says aroooo !! 😃🐾💖

Turtle Crossing 🐢❌

When you’re on a road trip in FL, what do you do when you see a huge turtle crossing the road ? You stop traffic, jump out of your vehicle, pick the turtle up and release it safely in the greenery off the side of the road! That was awesome to witness this afternoon !

Was walking Sadie this morning when all of a sudden it started pouring for 10 minutes then abruptly stopped and the sun came out & with it a gorgeous rainbow! SMH 🤦🏻‍♀️ at the weather here! You may say it’s just a rainbow, au contraire, this is a Florida rainbow!! 🤣

Sadie walked alongside the sea wall today, but, she’s still not interested in the beach or ocean! Her ears were flapping in the breeze in the 5th pic! Sadie & I went exploring in town today (it reminds me of New Hope). Sorry no pics, was carrying a purse, a poop bag and her leash and I didn’t have enough hands!

This morning’s sunrise & tonight’s sunset … I swear these are the last sun photos … LOL … NOT !! 😂

If you’re getting a tad bit bored with my photos … Hang in there, I promise next week the photos will be incredible!

Stay Tuned!!

🌅☀️🌧💨🌊🏝🐶

WOW ! Florida weather is wacko … one minute the sun is out and the next minute it’s pouring and then the sun is back out again ??!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

It’s extremely windy living next to the ocean. Normally I hate windy days, but, apparently that’s a good thing here since it is keeping the “no-see-ums” away (also called biting midgies) … another nasty bloodsucking nuisance mosquito-like bug that swarms around and stings unsuspecting humans leaving a welt that can last for days. Glad it’s windy cuz I haven’t seen or felt any !!

Found an outstanding hole in the wall California Baja homemade Mexican restaurant with THE BEST burritos & tacos that I have ever eaten ! YUM 😋!

Sadie is not having many adventures here, because she’s very afraid of the ocean, so even walking her is becoming an issue. But, she will have a blast at the next place we visit. For now it’s a secret, so I will let you know where we are next Sunday !! She is going to be so happy & tired !! 🐶

Enjoy the video & one last sunrise 🌅 photo (I personally think you can never see enough sunrises)! It’s a good thing!
