101 in 1001 - Update #1

I had every intention of starting my vacation posts yesterday but when I went to pick out photos from our first day, I got a little overwhelmed. See, our first day's event was The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and I took over 100 photos that afternoon! Hopefully I can make a decision soon as to which ones I think are worthy of being on the blog. Until then, I thought I would update you all on my 101 in 1001 progress.

Read a memoir
I read Born on a Blue Day by Daniel Tammet. A very interesting read about an autistic man with extraordinary number and language abilities - I highly recommend it!

Set up a play date for Crickett
Shortly before Christmas, Crickett and I got to meet Miss Hennessy. She is such a sweetheart (as is her mom Debbie and her aunt Michelle) and Crickett and I look forward to having her over again.


Eat at five new restaurants
Vacation made this task super easy to complete!
1. Smokey Bones - Lakeland, FL
2. Sonic - Orlando, FL
3. Bubba Gumps - Orlando, FL
4. Cici's - Lakeland, FL
I finally got to have my macaroni and cheese pizza! Yum!
5. Waffle House - Lakeland, FL
I discovered I do not like grits. Just thinking about them makes me want to gag.


Even though I'm moving quite slowly through this list, I'm still having a blast! Can't wait to get through more tasks and share them with you! Stay tuned for vacation posts.

Oh wow! I can't believe you've never eaten at Sonic, Cici's, or Waffle House! I loved Bubba Gumps, but it was SO expensive - I ate at the one in the Bahamas (or somewhere along the way back...we were in the airport).
