Family time in St. Pete was just perfect.

Yes, it was.

Nice arrival in the Bubble with a great meal to kick it off. Love the picture in the car with Gia popping in.

She's such a ham.

Oh, that drink pic with Gia's little smile peeking in is just the cutest thing in the world!!!! Your first lunch at WDW sounds amazing. So excited to hear how Beaches & Cream was!

WBG I think is our fav restaurant in all of Disney, and B&C was VERY delicious.

I love how Gia keeps saying “and don’t forget Jen and Joe on the go” so cute!
We have WBG on our list if we ever get back!
Thanks for all the wonderful information on the vlogs, very helpful!

You're so very welcome!

Do you need a reservation for Wine Bar George? I want to sneak away with my daughter one night on our trip, but we don't have a reservation. Can we just put our name on a waiting list and hope to get in? Joe's drink looked so tasty! And being the good Wisconsin girl that I am, how could I resist that Burrata?

Yes, it's highly recommended. I do think they have a waiting list as well.

Thank you for sharing!!!! Looking fwd to my trip in 3 weeks too!!

You will have such a good time.

Love, love, love your brunch experience! Everything looks so good! Gia was adorable.....so great to see her smiling face and playful attitude. Definitely putting WBG on my list!

It was a great way to start the trip.

Thank you everyone for your kind words, thoughts, and prayers. I really appreciate it. I have shared some of these comments with Joe and my mom and they, as well as myself, were blown away by the amount of support you have all given. You are such a wonderful group of friends. ❤ And to those of you who have reached out privately, you know who you are...I couldn't have done this without your love and kindness. ❤

I wanted you to know how very sorry I am for your loss. I have lost both of my parents in the past five years and feel your pain. My thoughts and prayers are with you ❤

After a delightful brunch at Wine Bar George, we had another reservation to get to. I had made plans for us to get ice cream at Beaches and Cream. The only problem was that the reservation was only for me and Joe (this was before we made plans for Gia to join us). So, I was hoping and praying that it would be ok to add Gia. With all the new COVID rules, I was unsure about how adding a person to the reservation at the last minute would work. I didn't have to worry because Beaches and Cream was more than happy to accommodate us. Yay! I worried for nothing.

Gia ordered a few scoops of chocolate ice cream with chocolate sprinkles, whip cream, and a cherry. Joe and I split the No Way Jose. OMG! This was absolutely amazing and I totally understand why it's such a big hit. All that chocolate/peanut butter goodness really hit the spot and was a fantastic dessert. After devouring our ice cream, because brunch a few minutes earlier at WBG wasn't enough, lol, we headed to our resort. We actually received our room ready text while driving to WDW and we were looking forward to checking out our digs for the next 6 nights...

We were staying at the Contemporary Resort again and had booked a garden view room in the Garden Wing. I love this area of the resort. It's so quiet and peaceful. Don't get me wrong, I love the tower rooms too. Now, that being said, I feel both areas are in need of a refurb. They have become a little dated and worn.

Our room was amazing and our view didn't disappoint either. After a quick room tour for Jen and Joe on the Go, it was time to relax and chill in the room for a bit. We had big plans this evening, so we needed to rest up so we could stay awake later on...

Next up...Drinks and dinner at the Boardwalk...
